Earthing and Grounding Solutions

Products that create a conductive path between your body and the earth while you sit, work or sleep. Each one has a conductive surface, silver fiber in the sheet and conductive PU in the pads, and connects by cord to a ground point: the ground socket of a properly wired outlet, or a grounding rod in the soil outside. Once connected, your body sits at the earth’s potential instead of floating at whatever voltage the wiring and devices around you have induced. Walking barefoot outside is the original practice and does the same job for free; these products do it at your desk and in your bed.

Earthing reduces one specific part of it: induced body voltage from electric fields. Sit near cables and appliances and your ungrounded body picks up a measurable voltage; connect to earth and that voltage drains away, a reduction you can watch happen on a multimeter. What grounding does not do is shield you from wireless radiation, so it pairs with shielding rather than replacing it. Grounding handles the electric fields, shielding handles the RF and wider electromagnetic fields, and a complete EMF protection setup usually needs a little of both.

The research base is early. Small studies of grounding techniques have reported changes in sleep, stress and inflammation markers, but the studies are small and public health bodies have drawn no conclusions, so we will not promise that earthing will improve your sleep or your health. What is not in dispute is the electrical effect: body voltage measurably drops when you connect to earth. Try it for the measurable part, and treat anything beyond that as unproven.

Four, covering the places you spend your time. The Grounding Mouse Pad at $23.99 grounds your hand and wrist at your desk. The EMF Earthing Grounding Pad at $34.99 is portable, so you can use it at a desk, on a chair or sofa, on the floor, in bed or when you travel. The Grounded Bed Sheet, $47.99 for the medium and $53.99 for the large, is a flat sheet that goes on your bed so you stay connected while you sleep. And the Grounding Rod for Earthing at $35.99 gives any of them a direct connection to the soil outside, as an alternative to a wall outlet. Each product comes with its own 16.4 foot (5 m) grounding cord, and the rod comes with a 39.4 foot (12 m) cord.

There are two ways to connect, and both work. The ground socket of a properly wired outlet is the simplest, and suits most homes with sound electrical wiring. A grounding rod in the soil outside is the alternative for when you do not have a grounded outlet within reach, or when you would rather connect away from your building’s wiring, where electrical noise from appliances and electronics, often called dirty electricity, can be present. If your property’s wiring is old or you have any doubt, use the rod, or have an electrician check the outlet’s ground first. Whichever you choose, use one grounding source for all your products at once: all to outlets, or all to the rod, and not some to an outlet and others to the rod. A grounding product is only as good as the earth connection behind it.

With one piece of equipment, a multimeter, and a few minutes. Start by measuring the voltage between your body and a known ground while you sit at your desk; the readings on an ungrounded body surprise people. Then touch the grounding pad, or lie on the sheet, and watch the number fall. That before-and-after shows the electrical effect, on your body, in your home. Testing again every few months confirms the setup is still working and helps you find any cord or connection that has failed. If you would like help with testing, contact our team and we will talk you through it.

The safety cautions are electrical. Never use grounding products during lightning or storms. Use the grounding cord supplied with the product, not improvised wire. If your home’s wiring has faults, an outlet-based ground can expose them, which is why the rod, or an outlet checked by an electrician, is the right starting point if you have any doubt. And if you have a medical condition or an implanted electrical device, speak to your doctor before you use grounding products.

Grounding is the foundation layer, and it also makes some shielding work better: shielding canopies and painted rooms need an earth connection. A sensible order for most homes is to measure with a meter, fix the cheap sources, ground the bed and the desk, then shield what remains. Our team has specialized in EMF protection since 2004, so if you want a plan for your rooms rather than a pile of products, contact us and ask.

Follow the care instructions for each product, and check cords and connections whenever you test, to make sure the path stays intact. For the Grounded Bed Sheet, wash in water up to 104°F (40°C) with a neutral detergent, do not soak it for long, and do not tumble dry or iron it. Air dry it naturally, in the shade.
