Why Upgrade from Grounding Sheets? 10 Reasons to Ground with Earthbound

If you've been interested in improving your health & wellbeing with grounding sheets or covers, you might want to read this.

Firstly, grounding sheets are popular because they work. They're lightweight, quick, and effective, for a while. However, there are some issues that come from using these types of sheets, and we wanted to bring something new and exciting to the Earthing community, providing real and sustainable grounding solutions that last for a very, very long time.

If you’re looking to experience the life-changing benefits of grounding while you sleep, it’s important to choose the right product. While many brands offer grounding sheets, we took a different approach: grounding mattress covers. And for good reason.

Not only are our grounding mattress covers easier to use, they’re built for comfort, durability, and real-life functionality. Here are 10 compelling reasons why our mattress covers stand out from traditional grounding sheets — and why they're the smarter, more effective choice for better sleep and better health.


1. Direct skin contact isn't necessary for better Grounding

There's a myth that you have to have direct contact with the Earth (or grounding product) to be grounded. Our skin and the Earth are what's called dielectric, as in, they do not conduct electrons by themselves alone. They require moisture to conduct, and there is plenty of that to go around. 

We've studied this deeply with grounding products; even with floor mats and fitted sheets, you're not effectively grounding with dry skin contact. The mattress cover design acknowledges this fact and grounds you through your natural body moisture you release while you sleep. This is effective and innovative, because you're grounding while the mattress cover is out of sight, out of mind, and you can use your own sheets instead of scratchy fitted sheets that may or may not fit your bedroom aesthetic.

We've demonstrated improved grounding results with this new product as well, as there is a higher density of conductive material in our covers vs the low-density strands of metal in the common grounding sheet (there is such a low density of metal wire in grounding sheets that you can actually see the individual strands with the naked eye).


2. Stay Flat and Secure All Night

Our mattress covers fit snugly like a fitted sheet, wrapping around your bed and staying perfectly in place all night. Grounding sheets, especially flat ones, often shift, wrinkle, or bunch up, making it harder to stay grounded consistently as you sleep.


3. Built to Last — No Tearing, No Fraying

Grounding sheets are typically made from thinner materials that wear out quickly and lose conductivity after repeated washing. Our mattress covers are constructed from thicker, more durable fabric, with reinforced stitching designed to withstand daily use for years.


4. Use Your Own Bedding On Top

You don’t have to compromise your favorite linens. Our grounding mattress cover goes under your regular fitted or flat sheet, allowing you to keep your style and sleep preferences intact while still enjoying the full benefits of grounding.


5. No Scratchy Silver Threads

Many grounding sheets rely on heavy silver thread, which can feel stiff or rough against your skin. Our mattress covers use a finely woven blend of conductive fibers that are soft, smooth, and comfortable for all-night use.


6. Less Frequent Washing

Because our mattress cover sits under your sheet, it stays cleaner and requires less maintenance. Grounding sheets, on the other hand, absorb sweat and oils directly and need to be washed often, which can degrade conductivity over time.


7. Protects Your Mattress Too

Not only do our covers keep you grounded, they also act as a mattress protector — shielding your mattress from sweat, spills, and allergens. It's grounding with a bonus layer of practicality.


8. Cooler Sleep for Hot Sleepers

Unlike some grounding sheets that add extra layers and heat, our breathable mattress cover is designed to stay cool underneath your bedding. It won't trap warmth, making it perfect for year-round grounding.


9. No Lifestyle Disruptions

There’s no need to switch out your entire bedding set or adjust your nighttime routine. Just put our mattress cover on your bed, and forget it's even there. You sleep how you always do — only better.


10. Designed for Real Life

We created our grounding mattress covers with your lifestyle in mind. They’re durable, easy to use, low-maintenance, and incredibly effective. Whether you're a busy professional, a parent, or someone looking to improve sleep naturally, this is grounding that fits into your real life effortlessly.


Experience the Upgrade

Grounding sheets had their moment. But it's time for an upgrade. Our grounding mattress covers offer everything grounding sheets don’t: reliability, comfort, ease, and a true long-term wellness solution.

Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
