Earthbound® Grounding Mat
4.7 | 1048 Reviews- Ease chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle tension
- Supports healthy circulation and your body’s natural recovery
- Promotes deep, restorative sleep
Key Features
Earth's healing energy. Grounded while you work
- Grounds the hours you're awake.
Most grounding happens in bed. The mat covers the other eight-plus hours: under your feet at a desk, under your wrists while you type, on your lap on the sofa. Every minute of skin contact lets free electrons flow in from the Earth, which is why customers most often notice calmer focus and less afternoon fatigue first, then easing of tension in the legs, shoulders and neck. - Same conductive carbon fiber as our #1 mattress pad.
Inert, slim and non-reactive, it won't oxidize or lose conductivity the way silver-thread products do. Wipe it clean, fold it flat for travel, and it grounds the same on year three as on night one. - A grounded barrier for your appliances.
Placed under a laptop, keyboard, router or phone charger, the earthed surface may help reduce the electric field those devices give off and drains the static voltage your body picks up sitting near them all day.
Which size should I get?
Pick by where it will live, not by the price.
✓ Large - (16" x 24" in): for feet. Both feet fit on it under a sitting or standing desk, it covers your lap on the sofa, and it's the one to lay across the foot of the bed at night.
✓ Medium - (10" x 27" in): for the desk. The long, narrow shape sits under your keyboard and mouse so your wrists and palms rest on it all day. It also works under one or both feet if space is tight.
Still not sure? Going under your feet or on the bed - Large. Living on the desktop - Medium. Many customers use both: Medium at the keyboard by day, Large underfoot in the evening.
Either size also doubles as a grounded shield: slide it under a laptop, monitor stand, router or phone charger and the earthed carbon-fiber surface may help reduce the EMF those appliances put out where you sit.

How do I clean it?
You don't wash it - you wipe it. A damp cloth with a little mild soap, or a solvent-free wipe, takes care of dust, skin oils and the odd coffee ring; unplug the cord first and let it dry before you plug back in. That's all the care it needs for years of daily use.
Skip the washing machine, soaking, bleach and alcohol-based cleaners. None of them are needed, and because the conductive layer is carbon fiber rather than silver thread, there's nothing to wear away: the mat conducts the same after a thousand wipe-downs as it did on day one. If it ever looks dull, the free outlet tester confirms your outlet is still grounded - the mat itself doesn't fade.

The clinical evidence
Recent grounding research includes randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials and peer-reviewed research examining sleep quality, stress, pain, inflammation, blood flow, and recovery. Recent literature points to measurable effects on sleep and stress while showing beneficial pain and inflammation-related outcomes.
2025: Grounded sleep significantly improved sleep quality, insomnia severity, daytime sleepiness, stress, and total sleep time.
Park et al., Advances in Integrative Medicine, 2025 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled earthing mat study. Sixty participants used either a grounding mat or placebo mat for 6 hours per day over 31 days, with positive outcomes measured using validated sleep scales, stress measures, and actigraphy.
2023: Grounding was shown to be a potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant intervention.
Sinatra et al., Biomedical Journal, 2023 — peer-reviewed review discussing grounding's positive effects on inflammation, oxidative stress, cardiovascular function, and recovery.
2022: Grounding improved sleep-quality scores in a placebo-controlled pilot study.
Lin et al., Healthcare, 2022 — randomized, double-blind pilot study using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Participants receiving grounding showed improved sleep-quality scores after a 12-week intervention.
2020: A peer-reviewed study linked grounding with reduced pain, inflammation, and stress, plus improved sleep and blood flow.
Menigoz et al., EXPLORE, 2020 — peer-reviewed review of grounding research and clinical observations. The authors summarize evidence showing that grounding may reduce inflammation, pain, and stress while improving blood flow, energy, sleep, and overall well-being.
Earth's steady charge, wherever you are
Bring the connection of barefoot grounding indoors.
- Conductive carbonInert, slim carbon surface that resists oxidation for years.
- Feet or wristsPlace underfoot at your desk or beneath typing hands.
- Folds for travelPacks flat for hotels, the kitchen, or anywhere underfoot.
- Focused workdaysResearch on grounding shows it may help ease mental fatigue and reduce stress hormones.
- EMF-buffering layerA quiet shield against screen and device electromagnetic exposure.
Most people only ground while they sleep. That leaves 8+ hours on the table.
If you spend most of your waking day at a desk, typing, mousing, and sitting, you are accumulating the exact stressors grounding may help address: poor circulation from prolonged sitting, sympathetic nervous-system dominance from screen time, and continuous low-level EMF exposure from your computer.
The mat sits between your laptop and the desk, with your wrists resting on it while you type. Every minute you are in contact, free electrons flow from the Earth, through the cord, into the conductive carbon fiber, and into your body, helping neutralize the buildup of static voltage while you work.
Recommended use: Pair with a Grounding Mattress Pad for around-the-clock coverage: desk by day, bed by night.
Real people. Real grounding results.
Here's what they have to say:





What is grounding?
Grounding is simply putting your body in direct contact with the Earth's surface, the way you do when you walk barefoot on grass or sand. The Earth holds a limitless supply of free electrons, and when you're connected to it, those electrons flow into your body. Rubber soles, raised beds and insulated floors have cut most of us off from that connection almost entirely.
Research shows those free electrons act as natural antioxidants, helping to neutralize the free radicals that drive inflammation. In published studies, participants who grounded while they slept reported falling asleep faster, waking less often and feeling less pain within the first few nights. An Earthbound pad brings that connection indoors: a grounding cord links the conductive carbon fiber to the earth port of your outlet, so you reconnect for eight hours a night without changing a thing about how you sleep.
One connection. Felt everywhere.
Modern life kept you insulated from the Earth's free electrons. Grounding can support nearly every system that inflammation touches.
Sleep & circadian rhythm
Grounding may help regulate cortisol and calm the nervous system at night, so you fall asleep faster and wake more rested. Many people notice deeper, less interrupted sleep within the first week.
93% of participants reported better sleep within the first four nights of grounding. — Oschman et al., 2015, Journal of Inflammation Research
Inflammation & everyday pain
The Earth's free electrons behave like natural antioxidants, which may help neutralize the low-grade inflammation behind stiff mornings, aching joints and slow recovery. Thermal imaging has recorded measurable reductions in inflammation after grounding.
Medical infrared imaging showed reduced inflammation and participants reported less pain after grounding. — Oschman, Chevalier & Brown, 2015, Journal of Inflammation Research
Circulation & blood flow
Grounding has been shown to increase the surface charge of red blood cells and lower blood viscosity, which may support healthy circulation. Warmer hands and feet is one of the first things people mention.
Two hours of grounding improved red blood cell zeta potential and blood viscosity in every subject measured. — Chevalier, Sinatra et al., 2013, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Stress & the nervous system
Grounding may nudge the body out of fight-or-flight and toward rest-and-digest. Studies have measured lower sympathetic nervous system activity and a calmer heart-rate profile while grounded.
Grounded subjects showed a measurable reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity. — Passi et al., 2017
Muscle recovery
Athletes ground after hard sessions for a reason: research has measured lower markers of muscle damage and less soreness in grounded subjects, with recovery that tracked days ahead of the control group.
Grounded participants reported less soreness and showed lower markers of muscle damage after intense exercise. — Brown, Chevalier & Hill, 2010, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Energy & focus
When sleep deepens and inflammation eases, daytime follows: less brain fog, steadier energy, fewer afternoon crashes. Most people notice the shift in the second to fourth week.
Grounding during sleep normalized night-time cortisol rhythms, with participants reporting less fatigue. — Ghaly & Teplitz, 2004, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Immune support
Chronic inflammation keeps the immune system busy in the background. By helping to neutralize excess free radicals, grounding may let your body's defenses spend less effort on inflammation and more on the job they're for.
A review of grounding research links it to reduced inflammation, improved immune response and faster wound healing. — Oschman, Chevalier & Brown, 2015, Journal of Inflammation Research
Backed by 20+ peer-reviewed studies on grounding.
