Grounding mats make it possible to experience grounding therapy indoors by connecting your body to the Earth’s natural electrical charge through a grounded outlet. Earthbound’s grounding products are built to support better sleep, faster recovery, and everyday relief from inflammation, joint discomfort, and pain, while promoting overall health.
Explore our collection of grounding mats for beds, desks, and floors — make grounding part of your daily routine.
Why Use a Grounding Mat?
Grounding outside isn’t always practical. If you live in the city or can’t find time to reconnect with nature, it can be hard to ground. And even if you can, the time spent grounding is often minimal.
Grounding mats offer the same benefits of grounding, just indoors. You’ll connect with the Earth’s natural electrical charge, allowing your body to equalize and restore balance with the Earth’s natural charge. They are designed to replicate the effects of grounding outdoors. In fact, most research and studies rely on grounding mats instead of time in nature.
How Grounding Mats Work
You might be wondering how a grounding mat connects to the Earth when you’re inside. The connection is made through a grounded outlet.
Most outlets include a grounding port that safely connects to the Earth. But that same connection can be used by a grounding mat to allow contact with the Earth’s electrical field through conductive materials.
Grounding mats and other products contain conductive silver threads, carbon, and other coatings woven into the mat’s comfortable surface. These materials support conductivity between your body and the grounding connection — so you can experience grounding anytime, anywhere, whether you sit, stand, or place your feet on the mat.
The mats don’t carry an actual electric current. They’re not connected to mains electricity, so there’s no risk of electrocution. Rather, they equalize your body’s electrical charge with the Earth, just the same as if you were walking barefoot on grass or sand.
What are the Grounding Mats Benefits
Grounding products are believed to offer numerous benefits, from deeper sleep to reducing inflammation. While the evidence is still in its early stages, the studies published to date offer a range of intriguing benefits. These may include:
- Deeper, more restorative sleep. Many users report feeling better rested, having more energy, and sleeping more deeply and longer.
- Reduced inflammation. Some research has explored changes in inflammation markers. Some people report reduced inflammation, which may help ease discomfort such as stiffness or muscle soreness.
- Calmer nervous system activity. By promoting relaxation and helping the nervous system unwind, grounding may support lower stress levels and improved overall well-being.
- Aids post-exercise recovery. Some studies suggest that grounding improves recovery from muscle fatigue by promoting better sleep and reducing oxidative stress.
Who Should Choose a Grounding Mat?
Grounding is an option many people explore. Balancing your body’s electric charge through grounding therapy and neutralizing free radicals may have beneficial effects for overall health, from inflammation to sleep. But it’s worth considering a grounding mat if:
- You live in the city, and access to nature is limited.
- You want to ground for prolonged periods.
- You experience ongoing inflammation or joint discomfort.
- You want to get a better night’s sleep.
- You’ve read the research and want to try it for yourself.
Your questions, answered
Many people claim to experience genuine benefits from grounding mats and similar products, including better sleep, reduced stress, support for inflammation, and more. The current evidence isn’t conclusive, and further research is needed. However, several studies have shown that grounding mats may provide effects reported by some users after weeks of use.
Yes, there are minimal dangers from sleeping on a grounding mat. While mats are connected to the grounded port in your plug socket, they do not send or receive electricity. Grounding products are generally safe when used correctly. That said, we recommend verifying outlet grounding by testing an outlet before use.
The biggest difference is size and design. Grounding mats are designed for a smaller surface area, so you can use them when sitting, working, or on part of your bed. Grounding sheets, on the other hand, are specifically intended to cover your mattress. They offer full-bed sleep grounding, whereas mats are preferred for daytime grounding.
Grounding mats can be cleaned like any other product. Use mild soap and water to wipe down the mat. (Antibacterial wipes work best.) Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as they may damage the mat’s conductivity and durability.
Yes, grounding mats are designed to be portable and easy to pack. Simply roll up the mat, store it safely alongside your cable, and test the outlet. It’s always sensible to pack an outlet tester when using the mat in new locations.
Yes, they can. For best results, grounding works best with direct skin contact. The thicker the barrier between your skin and the mat, the less effective it will be. That said, grounding mats may still work through clothing, though effectiveness can vary. We recommend a grounding sheet or mattress cover at night to increase surface contact.
Yes, if a grounding mat is fitted directly under the sheet, it can still be effective. However, it will be less effective than direct skin contact. If you’re grounding during sleep, we recommend a specialist mattress pad or sheet.
Earthbound products are made from organic cotton and conductive silver. The organic cotton creates a soft, comfortable product, while the conductive silver is optimized to deliver free electrons directly from the Earth. It’s the perfect balance of durability, conductivity, and comfort.
That depends on care and use. Most grounding products will last several years if properly cared for. Always clean the products regularly and use the appropriate grounding accessories, e.g., grounding rods or testers, to support long-term performance.
Grounding mats come in several varieties, including yoga mats, pet grounding mats, and desk grounding mats. They’re designed to enable grounding throughout your day, during each activity. Plus, there are specialized sleep products such as mattress covers and grounding sheets for full-body nighttime use.
