Notes

Recovery mats combine electronics, wiring, and heat, so failures are often in the controller or internal connections. Repair can make sense for a replaceable controller or connector issue if the mat surface and internal heating remain even.

Replace is usually favored if heat zones fail, if there are intermittent electrical cutouts, or if the product is out of warranty and the repair requires opening sealed layers with uncertain long-term reliability.
