Earthing, also known as Grounding, refers to direct physical contact with the Earth's surface. Our products, such as our Earthing mats, desk mats, socks, and throws, are designed for use inside your home and workplace. They are made with a conductive element such as carbon or, otherwise, a silver fibre thread. When connected to the Earth via the Earthing plug and cord, the surface of our products becomes grounded/earthed.

The human body is naturally conductive, meaning when we come into direct contact with the Earth, we can absorb its natural electrical frequencies. This process is known as earthing or grounding.

To be earthed, you need contact with the Earth's surface. Walking barefoot on damp or wet grass, which is highly conductive and feels great, is a perfect way to ground yourself outside—just watch out for prickles and worker bees! Whenever possible, kick off your shoes and walk on the grass, beach, or dirt to directly connect with the Earth's energy.

When outside grounding isn't feasible, our products, such as the Earthing mat, grounding mats, Earthing socks, or balnkets, can bring the Earth's connection conveniently inside your home.

Our products connect to the Earth via a specially designed 'Earthing' plug which uses your homes normal power socket to connect only to the earth side of your homes electrical system. Specifically to the large 'earthing rod' buried in the ground outside your home. 

Connect the cord and put the earthing plug in and your earthing product is now connected to the earth.

Yes. The Earthing mat is best situated between the electric blanket and your top sheet. Unplugging the electric blanket from the wall before sleeping is also an excellent idea. Even when it's off, if the blanket is plugged into the wall, there will be voltage leakage.

Our earthing products are designed to connect you to the earth. For information on how to use our products, please refer to the instructions included with your purchase. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team. Also, please check out our 'helpful videos' page for more information.

Direct skin contact with the earthing mat is not required. As you sleep, your body's natural moisture allows the earthing effect to pass through a natural fibre sheet, such as cotton.

However, the type of sheet you use can significantly impact the effectiveness of your earthing mat. Here are some recommendations:

Natural Fiber Sheets: Cotton, Linen, Bamboo: These materials are breathable and conductive, allowing for effective electron transfer. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and bamboo ensure that you remain connected to the Earth's energy throughout the night.

Thin Sheets: Single Layer: Thinner sheets are generally better for conductivity compared to thicker ones. A single-layer sheet usually suffices to allow good contact between your body and the earthing mat.

Avoid Synthetic Fibers: Polyester and Other Synthetics: Synthetic materials, such as polyester, can hinder conductivity and thus reduce the effectiveness of your earthing mat. It's best to avoid sheets made from synthetic fibers.

Earthing is generally considered a wellness practice that many people explore. However, it's important to be mindful of your individual health circumstances.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider: The best approach is to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new wellness practice, including earthing. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health conditions and any medications you are taking.

Individual Responses: Everyone's experience with wellness practices can be different. While many people explore earthing as part of a healthy lifestyle, it's essential to listen to your body.

Gradual Introduction: If you're new to earthing, consider starting gradually. Observe how you feel as you incorporate it into your routine.

Personal Monitoring: Pay attention to any changes you may experience as you explore earthing. This information can be valuable for you and your healthcare provider.

Living in an apartment or multi-storied building doesn't prevent you from enjoying the benefits of earthing. 

Earthing Products: There are many products designed specifically for indoor use, including earthing mats, earthing sheets, and blankets. These items connect to the grounding port of an electrical outlet, allowing you to stay grounded indoors. Grounding

Earth Socket tester: Before using any earthing mat or other grounding product with a, it's essential to make sure that your electrical outlets are properly grounded. You can use a simple Earth socket tester to verify this.

Simply place the earthing mat on your bed and cover with a natural fiber sheet. Plug it into a normal power socket with the supplied 'Earthing plug' and you are good to go. 

Use one of our smaller earthing pads, desk mats or floor mats  while you work, or anywhere you sit or lie down for extended periods.

When it comes to Earthing, the more contact and the more time in contact can make a profound difference on your health and wellbeing.

Cleaning your Earthing mat (and other Carbon/ Black Earthing mats, pads etc) is straightforward and important for maintaining its effectiveness. Here's a simple guide to help you out:

Use Mild Soap and Water: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the conductive material.

Gently Wipe Down: Gently wipe the surface of the mat to remove dirt, oils, and other debris.

Avoid Soaking: Do not soak or submerge the mat in water. Excess moisture can damage the inner conductive layer.

Dry Completely: Use a dry towel to absorb any excess water. Ensure the mat is completely dry before reconnecting it to the socket.

Regular Maintenance: Aim to clean your earthing mat every few weeks or as needed, depending on usage and environmental factors.


Washing your earthing sheet, quilted pads or cotton pillow covers with silver fibers requires a bit of extra care to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to properly clean it:

Gentle Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent that does not contain bleach, whitening agents, or oils, which can tarnish the silver fibers and reduce conductivity. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Hand Wash or Gentle Cycle: If washing by hand, gently agitate the sheet in lukewarm water. If using a washing machine, select a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water.

Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softener: Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or any laundry additives as they can damage the silver fibers.

Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all detergent is thoroughly rinsed out, as residues can affect the sheet's conductivity.

Air Dry: Lay the sheet flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid wringing it out or using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fibers.

No Ironing: Do not iron the sheet. Frequency: Wash the sheet as necessary, but not more often than every couple of weeks to preserve the life of the silver fibers.

Following these steps will help ensure your earthing products remain conductive, efective and in good condition.

Yes, you can absolutely still wear PJs! When using an earthing mat, it's best to wear natural fiber pajamas like cotton, as they allow for better conductivity. Synthetic materials, like polyester, can act as an insulating barrier, reducing the effectiveness of the earthing process. So, as long as your PJs are made of natural fibers, you can stay comfy and grounded at the same time!

The only exception to this is if you are using a cotton earthing sheet that has the silver fiber. These products, like our quilted earthing pads, need direct skin contact to work. 

For the best results, it's recommended that the earthing mat be close to your skin. This means placing it directly under a fitted sheet, preferably made of cotton. If you put the earthing mat under a mattress protector, underlay, or mattress topper, it may insulate the Earth's energy from reaching your body, potentially reducing the effectiveness of grounding.

So, to maximize the benefits, use the earthing mat just under a single fitted sheet. This way, you can experience the full grounding effect.

We understand that, as unique individuals, it can be frustrating when you don’t see restful sleep yourself. That’s why Grounded Kiwi is here to help. Below, you'll find some tips to help you get the most out of your Earthing mat or other grounding products:

Check Your Connection: Ensure that your Grounded Kiwi Earthing product is properly grounded. Use a socket tester to confirm your outlets are earthed.

Grounding Time: Benefits may take time to manifest. Ground yourself regularly and allow your body 40 continuious nights.

Hydration: Staying hydrated helps your body maintain good conductivity, enhancing the grounding effect.

Moisture Matters: If you're using a ground rod in dry or sandy soil, moistening the area around the rod can improve conductivity.

Stress Factors: High stress can impact your wellbeing. If you’re under a lot of stress, you might like to try grounding for longer periods of time during the day. Try adding the earthing desk mat or floor mat into your routine.
