Why Should You Start Grounding?
Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of connecting your body to the Earth's natural electrical charge. By using an earthing mat or grounding sheet, you can experience the benefits of barefoot contact with the Earth indoors from the comfort of your home or office. Numerous studies are starting to show that this regular connection to the Earth may help reduce stress, improve sleep, and combat inflammation. At Grounded Kiwi, we've spent over eight years perfecting our earthing mat nz to deliver these benefits with unmatched quality and comfort.

With a 2-year guarantee and a commitment to quality, this grounding mat is built to last, making it the perfect addition to your wellness routine.
But before we dive deeper into why our earthing mat is the best choice, let's answer the top questions people ask about earthing mats, grounding sheets, and related products to help you make an informed decision.
Top Questions About Earthing Mats and Grounding Sheets
1. What Is the Difference Between Earthing Mats and Sheets?
The primary difference between an earthing mat and an earthing sheet lies in their design, materials, longevity, and use:
- Earthing Mats: These are typically made from durable, conductive materials like carbon-infused leatherette (as used in our Grounded Kiwi Earthing Mat). They're placed under a regular fitted sheet, don't require direct skin contact, and are low-maintenance. Mats are versatile, portable, and ideal for use on beds, desks, or floors. Our earthing mats have a surface that is 100% conductive rather than just 5%(like silver fibre earthing sheets); they are designed to be used under your normal fitted sheet.
- Earthing Sheets: These are fitted sheets woven with conductive threads, usually silver (only 5% of the sheet is conductive). They require direct skin contact and frequent washing, which can degrade the silver threads over time, reducing conductivity after about 12-18 months. Grounding sheets will still earth you for some time but are less durable, and will stop working without you knowing it after just months.
Which is better, a grounding mat or a sheet? For most users, an earthing mat is a superior choice due to its durability, 100% conductivity, and low maintenance. Unlike grounding sheets, our earthing mats do not need regular washing and maintain their effectiveness for years; a 2-year guarantee from us backs Grounded Kiwi Earthing Mats, your local NZ-based Earthing company. If comfort and long-term value are your top priorities, the grounding mat is the winner.
2. Does a Grounding Mat Work Under a Sheet?
Yes, a grounding mat works effectively under a thin, natural-fibre sheet, such as cotton. Our Grounded Kiwi Earthing Mats are designed to be placed between your mattress and a fitted cotton sheet, allowing the Earth's energy to flow through without direct skin contact. Your body's natural warmth and moisture during sleep enhance conductivity, ensuring you stay grounded for 8+ hours. Avoid thick or synthetic materials like polyester, as they can reduce effectiveness.
For the best results, use a thin cotton sheet and ensure your earthing mat is properly connected to a grounded power outlet or earth rod.
3. What Are the Negatives of Grounding Sheets?
While grounding sheets with silver or stainless steel thread are ok, they come with some drawbacks:
- Limited Conductivity: Most earthing sheets are only 5% conductive due to their silver-thread design, requiring direct skin contact for grounding. That means no pyjamas or other clothing is allowed if you want to have the connection in bed.
- Short Lifespan: The silver threads degrade with washing, body oils, and sunlight, often losing conductivity within 12-18 months.
- High Maintenance: Grounding sheets need weekly washing with specific detergents to maintain conductivity, which can be cumbersome.
- Sheets need to be dried inside out of direct sunlight, which can be difficult during winter's wet months.
- Cost of Replacement: Due to their shorter lifespan, you may need to replace silver fibre earthing sheets frequently, increasing long-term costs.
In contrast, our Grounded Kiwi Earthing Mat range overcomes these issues with 100% surface conductivity, minimal maintenance (just a wipe-down), and a 2-year guarantee, making it a more reliable and cost-effective choice.
4. What Is the Difference Between Grounding Sheets and PEMF Mats?
Grounding sheets and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) mats serve different purposes:
- Grounding Sheets/Mats: These connect your body to the Earth's natural electrical charge, which has shown promising results in studies indicating that earthing can promote benefits such as improved sleep, reduced inflammation, and stress relief. Our earthing mat features a conductive surface that transfers electrons from the Earth, mimicking the sensation of barefoot contact.
- PEMF Mats: These emit pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular repair, reduce pain, and enhance healing. They're often used for chronic pain, arthritis, or injury recovery but require professional guidance, especially for those with pacemakers or specific health conditions.
Which is better? If your goal is to improve sleep, reduce inflammation, or enhance overall wellness, a grounding mat or earthing sheet is a simpler, safer, and more affordable option. For targeted pain management or healing, a PEMF mat may be a suitable option. Consult a doctor first for to ascertain whether earthing or PEMF is right for you on your health journey.
5. Can I Leave My Grounding Mat Plugged in All the Time?
Yes, you can safely leave your grounding mat plugged in all the time, provided it's connected to a properly grounded outlet. Our Grounded Kiwi 2025 Earthing Mat includes an inline resistor in the cord for added protection against power surges or lightning strikes. However, during thunderstorms, we recommend unplugging it as a precaution. Always use a socket tester to verify the grounding of your outlet.
