What is a medical prayer mat?

Medical prayer mats are a type of medical device designed to manage stress by reducing pain, increasing posture support, and giving more energy to the user. The objective is to alleviate pain in the major pressure points, allowing for better blood circulation. Additionally, a medical prayer mat will support the skeletal muscle structure to improve posture and result in an elevation of energy in the body.

There have been four phases in the evolution of medical prayer mats. First, there were the basic padded mats re-positioned as medical, but they did not yield results. The second-generation mats were designed for pain management. For the third, technologies focused on improving posture and energy were used. The fourth generation has hygienic capabilities intended to protect the user from airborne diseases including bacteria, dust, and fungi.

Today, we have the fifth generation mats, which are hybrid and holistic medical prayer mats that combine the best of all evolutionary technologies.

A medical prayer mat can also be referred to as

• Physiological prayer mat
• Orthopedic prayer mat
• Ergonomic prayer mat

That said prayer mat is also replaceable by such terms as prayer rug, prayer carpet, and, in more traditional references:

• Sajjāda
• sajājīd
• Musallah
• namazlık
• Jānamāz
• jaênamaj

These reference cards are an excellent way to find, research, and analyze medical prayer mats on the market without getting confused in the process. Often, dishonest companies may use confusing terms, unsubstantiated claims, and different pricing levels to trick consumers.

There is no official medical prayer mat certification or certification body that researches and verifies manufacturing claims. Private research was conducted by organizations like TIMEZ5 Labs in conjunction with NASA, universities, and the medical community.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PRAYER MAT, RUG, AND CARPET?

Prayer mat -- Typically, a mat is, first of all, useful; its primary purpose is to provide a clean place to pray on.

Prayer rug -- Typically, a rug is a vanity piece for display or light usage. A prayer rug may not be used as often as a prayer mat.

Prayer carpet -- A carpet is used in large areas like mosques or houses. Unlike rugs and mats, carpets aren't portable.

When selecting a prayer mat, there are four basic designs defined by two main approaches, directional and boundary-based. Furthermore, the main characteristics are determined by suggestive versus candid features.
