Flexible upholstered heaters or heat mats / heat pads increase the comfort of furniture and offer therapeutic benefits in therapy and wellness loungers. The integration of these heating elements opens up a wide range of possible applications in both domestic and professional environments. Thanks to modern technical embroidery with CNC machines, these heating elements can be moulded into almost any shape and size and distribute heat efficiently.

These thin heating pads can be seamlessly integrated into sofas, armchairs and beds without compromising the design or feel. Individually adjustable heating levels further increase comfort. Flexible heating elements and heating pads are also used in medical applications to provide targeted heat for therapeutic purposes. They help to relieve muscle tension, promote blood circulation and can be customised to the patient’s needs.

Advantages of upholstered heating with our flexible heat mats

✔  High level of comfort: Upholstered heating significantly increases the feel-good factor of furniture. Especially in the cold season, the pleasant warmth ensures a cosy sitting and lying feeling. In medical applications, the targeted heating of certain areas of the body can also have therapeutic effects.
Efficient heat distribution: Flexible heating elements are designed to distribute the heat evenly over the entire surface of the cushion. This enables efficient heating, which not only increases comfort but also minimises energy consumption.
Safe and durable: The materials used in upholstered heaters are designed to fulfil the requirements of daily use. They are robust against bending, stretching or repeated pressure, which reduces the risk of malfunction or damage. They are also designed to be safe to operate. Modern heating elements have temperature controls and cut-outs to prevent overheating.
Wide range of applications: Flexible heating elements are not only used in the furniture and wellness industry. They can also be used in vehicles, camping equipment, massage chairs or mobile therapy centres.

Electric heat mats: The alternative to silicone heat mats

Disadvantages of silicone heat mats

Limited flexibility: Compared to embroidered heating elements, silicone mats are less flexible and can cause problems with complex shapes and structures.
Thicker and heavier: Silicone heat mats are bulkier and heavier than embroidered heating elements, which can be a disadvantage in applications where weight is an issue.
Less breathable: Silicone is not permeable to air, which is a disadvantage for products such as mattresses or textiles that need to remain breathable.
Limited customisability: Compared to embroidered heating elements, silicone mats offer less flexibility in terms of size, shape and adaptation to specific requirements. Customisation is associated with higher costs.

Advantages of electric heat mats

+ Flexibility: Embroidered heating elements are extremely flexible and can be easily adapted to complex shapes and structures. They are particularly suitable for products such as mattresses or seat cushions.
+ Lightweight: Due to their thin and lightweight structure, embroidered heating elements are ideal for applications where weight is an issue.
+ Customisability: They can be easily customised so that size, shape and heat output can be adapted to individual requirements.
+ Variety of materials: The carrier materials can vary depending on the requirements (e.g. textiles, non-woven fabrics), which increases versatility.
+ Breathability: As the wires are stitched onto a breathable material, air circulation is maintained, which is an advantage for comfort products such as mattresses.
+ Energy efficiency: Embroidered heating elements often use less energy as they can be applied specifically to the areas that need heat.
