Now the company has taken that same haptic technology and incorporated it into a new mattress topper called the Woojer Mat that will let you feel those same vibrations across your entire body to make what you’re watching or playing feel more immersive. But the company claims that the Mat is also designed to reduce stress, relieve pain and tension, and improve the quality of your sleep.The Woojer Mat is available now for $799 through the company’s online store, but is currently discounted to $699. It’s described as a mattress topper but unlike those memory foam pads that stay permanently atop your mattress and under your sheets, at 30-inches wide the Woojer Mat is narrower than even a twin-sized mattress and is instead designed to be unfolded and used only as needed. It’s not a permanent bedroom upgrade.Underneath an outer layer of breathable fabric is thin padding embedded with six haptic transducers capable of producing low frequencies up to 250Hz. The mat connects to any device that’s compatible with headphones and speakers using Bluetooth, USB-C, or an analog audio cable, including your smartphone. If you want to continue to listen to a movie, song, or game while their audio is being turned into soothing vibrations, the mat can wirelessly connect to headphones or you can plug them into a built-in amplifier using a cable.A control panel on the top of the mat includes buttons for adjusting volume and the intensity of the vibrations. Image: WoojerConnecting the Woojer Mat to its accompanying mobile app also provides access to a “rich library of dedicated vibroacoustic sessions designed for everything from back pain relief to deep relaxation and mental clarity.” If you want to use it without distractions, you can adjust volume and the intensity of the vibrations using a strip of buttons on the mat without reaching for your phone or other devices.We haven’t tested the mat and can’t vouch for Woojer’s wellness claims. But like those elaborate chairs that provide an intense full-body massage experience or a white noise machine, the mat’s biggest benefit could be as sensory distraction so you temporarily forget mental stresses that leave you tense or unable to fall asleep.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew LiszewskiCloseAndrew LiszewskiSenior Reporter, NewsPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Andrew LiszewskiGadgetsCloseGadgetsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All GadgetsGamingCloseGamingPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All GamingNewsCloseNewsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All NewsSpeakersCloseSpeakersPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All SpeakersTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularSteam Machine today, Steam Phones tomorrowOpenAI declares ‘code red’ as Google catches up in AI raceCrucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies insteadSilicon Valley is rallying behind a guy who sucksHBO Max’s Mad Men 4K release is the opposite of a remasterThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

The Woojer Mat represents a novel approach to immersive entertainment and potential wellness through haptic feedback. Developed by Woojer, the company previously known for its vibrating vests, this mattress topper leverages similar technology to translate audio into physical sensations across the user’s body. The core concept involves a 30-inch wide mat, designed to be unfolded and used as needed, rather than a permanent bedroom upgrade. Beneath a breathable outer layer reside six haptic transducers capable of generating low-frequency vibrations up to 250Hz. This functionality is achieved via Bluetooth, USB-C, or an analog audio cable, allowing for seamless integration with headphones, speakers, and other audio devices. A control panel on the mat provides tactile adjustments for both volume and vibration intensity, offering the user immediate control over the sensory experience.

The Mat’s functionality extends beyond mere replication of audio; Woojer has developed a “rich library of dedicated vibroacoustic sessions” designed for specific benefits. These sessions, accessible through a dedicated mobile app, encompass applications ranging from back pain relief and deep relaxation to mental clarity. The app also provides an alternative for users who prefer to avoid direct interaction with the device, offering adjustable volume and intensity via the mat’s physical buttons.

The design of the Woojer Mat suggests a strategy of sensory distraction. Similar to elaborate massage chairs or white noise machines, the mattress topper’s primary value may lie in its ability to momentarily interrupt and displace mental stress. This approach could be particularly appealing to individuals struggling with insomnia or heightened anxiety, providing an alternative avenue to achieving a state of relaxation and improved sleep quality. The device’s customizable settings offer a degree of personalization, allowing users to tailor the experience to their individual needs and preferences.

The product’s accessibility is facilitated by several connection options, including Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog audio cables, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio devices. The inclusion of a mobile app further enhances usability, providing access to a curated collection of vibroacoustic sessions and allowing for remote control of the device’s settings. Woojer’s strategic move from vibrating vests to a full-body mattress topper demonstrates an expansion of their core technology, capitalizing on established expertise while pursuing a wider spectrum of potential applications within the realm of sensory stimulation and wellness.
