Find answers to commonly asked questions about earthing sheets and other earthing products. Our comprehensive FAQ section covers topics such as the benefits of earthing, how earthing works, how to use earthing products, and how to care for them. Whether you're new to earthing or an experienced user, our FAQ section has the information you need to make the most out of your earthing experience.

Whats is Grounding or Earhing and gow do you do it?

Earthing also known as Grounding, is simply connecting your body directly to the subtle, natural electrical energy that exists on the surface of the earth.

You can do this by walking barefoot outside or by using "barefoot substitutes" like the ones we teach you about on our site. These original Earthing Harmony products work by utilizing the ground port of home outlets or a simple ground rod kit to connect you to the Earth's energy. Earthing Harmony products have the conductive materials which enables them to transfer the Earth's energy into your body when you have skin contact with them.

How does the Grounding wire plug into the wall? Does it electricity?

A regular plug socket found in the U.S. has three holes; two vertical slots and a round hole which is grounded to the Earth anddoes not carry electricity.Our products come with aspecialized cord, which features one end in the form of a round prong that is inserted into the designated grounding hole, while the other end connects to the Earthing product itself via special snap connection.

Once the product is plugged into a socket via the cord provided, the product instantly becomes grounded to the Earth. The Earthing product simply acts as an extension cord, bringing the Earth's energy inside and allowing you to stay grounded while you sleep, work or do something else — the equivalent of being barefoot outside.

Does Grounding work on animals? Is it good for indoor animals?

Your pets actually need Earthing, too, especially if they are mostly indoors and may not get as much opportunity to connect with the Earth's electrons as their wild counterparts do.

Essentially, Earthing helps pets just as it does humans.In fact, if you put an Earthing sheet on your bed, pets will usually make a beeline for it.

Earthing can help to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote the production of collagen and much more. All of these benefits have a positive impact on the health and well-being of indoor animals as well. It may also help to reduce stress and anxiety in indoor pets.

Many customers have noticed that their pets are definitely drawn to Earthing. They most likely feel something beneficial, something familiar. Although animals can’t articulate what they feel, their actions and responses speak louder than words.

What is Grounding Technology? How does it work?

The technology behind Earthing Balance products is very simple. First all products are made with a conductive material. The Earth Balance sleep systems have silver threading throughout the product. These conductive materials transfer the energy of the Earth to you via a ground cord that plugs into the ground port of an electrical outlet or into the optional Earth Balance Ground Rod. The products are durable, safe, and come in a wide range of affordable prices!

Understanding Grounding Sheets

What are Grounding sheets mad of?

Our Earthing Sheets are made of 95% high quality cotton and 5% silver. The silver in the sheet serves as a conductive element, allowing the sheet to be grounded, and innovative grid weaving techniques ensuremaximum transfer of beneficial free electrons from the Earth directly to your skin.We understand the importance of both comfort and effectiveness when it comes to our products. During the development of our Earth Balance sheets,we made a conscious decision to use a higher percentage of cotton to ensure that our customers are as comfortable as possible(sheets are not scratchy on bare skin and are actually usable) while enjoying the benefits of Earthing.

How deep are your fitted Grounding sheets?

Our fitted Earthing sheets are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit for most standard size mattresses. The depth of our fitted sheets is 12", which covers a wide percentage of commonly found mattresses.

This ensures that the sheet stays in place throughout the night and provides consistent grounding benefits. So whether you have a thick or thin mattress, our fitted Earthing sheets are the perfect solution for a comfortable and effective grounding experience.

We understand that our standard fitted sheets with a depth of 12 inches may not fit all mattresses. In such cases, we offer the option of custom orders to accommodate deeper mattresses. However, it's important to note that custom orders incur additional costs and require longer processing times. If you're interested in a custom order, please provide us with the specific measurements of your mattress, and we will gladly provide you with more information regarding pricing and lead time.

Alternatively, we have a solution that may meet your needs. We offer a complete flat sheet without the corner-hugging features found in our fitted sheets. Although this option is not currently listed on our website, it is available for purchase at the same price as our fitted sheet sizes. The flat sheet provides ample fabric to accommodate the depth of your mattress. We recommend selecting a size larger than your mattress dimensions to ensure generous coverage.

Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team for further assistance with custom orders or to inquire about purchasing the flat sheet option. We are here to help you find the best solution for your requirements.

How do I wash my Grounding sheets?

To maintain the conductivity of your silver-threaded Earthing Harmony sheets, regular washing is essential. This practice helps to remove body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver threads, ensuring their continued conductivity. Follow these guidelines to ensure proper washing and care of your sheets:

DO's:

  • Wash your sheets weekly or at least twice a month.
  • Use a washing machine and wash with warm water (approximately 105°F or 40°C).
  • Line dry your sheets or use a dryer on low heat if needed.
  • Iron only when necessary on low heat.
  • Wait for one hour after applying lotions or body oils before touching the sheets.

    DON'Ts:
  • Do not wash with bleach or fabric softener.
  • Avoid using whitening detergents or oxi-detergents.
  • Do not use detergents containing oils such as lavender or coconut oil.
  • Avoid using dryer sheets.
  • Do not apply lotions or body oils on your skin right before bed.

Note that using any of the products listed above could damage the silver threads and decrease the effectiveness of the sheets or make them nonconductive. By following these guidelines, you can maintain the conductive properties of your Earth Balance sheets and enjoy their health benefits for a longer period of time.

Can I put a regular sheet over a Grounding sheet?

Earthing works best if your bare skin is touching the grounded Earth Balance products.

Some of the Earth's energy can work through thin layers if there is some moisture in the material which will help to direct the current of the Earth through the material. However, skin contact is best (in nature it works even with just a tip of the finger).

We don't advise using another sheet on top of the Earthing sheet as it may interfere with the conductivity. Our Earthing sheets are very comfortable to sleep on and regular washing is advised for the best results.

Can I wear pajamas while sleeping on an earhing sheet?

Yes, you can wear pajamas while sleeping on an earthing sheet. While direct skin contact is optimal for earthing benefits, it is not necessary to sleep naked on the sheet. As long as there are body parts that have direct contact with the sheet, such as arms, legs, or feet, you can wear comfortable pajamas or sleepwear.

However, it's important to note that having uncovered areas of skin in direct contact with the grounding sheet provides more localized targeting for earthing. This can be particularly beneficial if you have specific areas of concern that could benefit from the earthing process, as it may assist in speeding up the healing process in those areas.

It is generally recommended to use the grounding sheet directly on your mattress or bedding without an additional sheet on top. This allows for better conductivity and direct contact with the grounding material, enhancing the effectiveness of the earthing experience.

Remember, the ultimate goal is to have some areas of your body in contact with the grounding sheet during sleep, so choose what feels most comfortable for you while still ensuring direct skin contact in certain areas.

How long will these Grounding sheets last?

With proper care and maintenance, our sheets are designed to provide you with grounding benefits for a long time.To ensure its longevity, we recommend following the care instructions included with the sheets.

The lifespan of earthing sheets with silver fibers can vary depending on factors such as frequency of use, skin type, skin products used, washing detergent, washing method, care etc. On average, these sheets can last up to two-three years of daily use or more with proper care and maintenance.

It is recommended to wash the sheets on a regular basis to ensure proper conductivity and to avoid buildup of dirt and oils from the skin. Generally, if you notice a decrease in effectiveness or any signs of wear and tear, it may be time to replace the sheets.
