Key Features
Earth's healing energy. Right where it hurts
- Grounding you can aim.
The mattress pad grounds your whole body while you sleep. A patch grounds one place: a knee that flares after a walk, a lower back that won't settle, a joint working overtime to recover. The gel center sits on your skin, the cord connects it to the grounding pin of any standard outlet, and that spot is in direct contact with the Earth's free electrons for as long as you leave it on. - As natural as bare feet on grass.
Nothing flows into you but the Earth's own electrons, the same connection you'd get standing barefoot on the ground. No electricity, no heat, no current; the cord's built-in 100k ohm resistor keeps the connection one-way. Research suggests grounding may support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes, circulation and recovery. - Peel, stick, snap, done.
Each soft, non-woven patch is reusable for up to three days as long as the gel stays in contact with your skin. Sit with a grounded knee while you read, ground your back at the desk, or wear one under clothes through the day. Every kit includes the cord and an outlet tester, so there's nothing else to buy.
Pack sizes & product info
Three pack sizes, one patch
✓ 30 patches - about three months on one spot, changing the patch every 3 days
✓ 60 patches - two spots at once, or two people
✓ 90 patches - best value for ongoing daily use
What a patch is: A soft, non-woven adhesive pad with a conductive gel center and a snap for the cord. It sits flat under clothing and comes off cleanly.
Reuse: Up to 3 days per patch while the gel stays in contact with your skin. Store unused patches in the sealed pack so the gel doesn't dry out.
Where to place it: On clean, dry skin over the spot you want to ground - knee, lower back, ankle, wrist, shoulder, or a recovering muscle.
In the box: Your patches, a 15 ft grounding cord with built-in 100k ohm safety resistor, outlet adapter for your region and a free outlet tester. Add more packs with the quantity selector; the cord comes with every order.

How do I use them?
Under a minute, no tools. Plug the included outlet tester into the wall socket you'll use and check its lights confirm the outlet is grounded. Peel a patch off its backing and press the gel center onto clean, dry skin over the spot you want to ground. Snap one end of the cord onto the patch and plug the other end into the outlet's grounding pin. That's it: peel, stick, snap, and you're grounded.
Leave it on as long as you like - while you read, work, or sleep - and unsnap the cord when you move around. The same patch goes back on for up to three days; replace it when the gel no longer grips. Skin that's freshly lotioned or oily won't hold a patch well, so apply before moisturizer. As a simple precaution, disconnect during thunderstorms, and if you have an implanted medical device, check with your doctor before regular use.

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.
A knee that won't quit. A back that flares by noon. Send grounding straight to it.
Your mattress pad grounds you everywhere at once while you sleep, but a flaring knee, an aching lower back, or a recovering joint often needs grounding concentrated right where it hurts. The skin is your most direct point of contact with the Earth's electrons, and placing that connection on a single area lets you focus it, the same targeted relief you'd reach for after a long day on your feet or a hard workout.
3 days
of continuous targeted grounding from a single reusable patch, right where you need it
Grounding patches stick gently to your skin and connect through the included cord to a grounded outlet, placing one specific area in direct contact with the Earth's free electrons. Research suggests free electrons may help neutralize free radicals and support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes, while the conductive gel keeps that connection steady without asking you to sit still or change a thing.

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.
01 / 07Often noticed: first week
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.
What the research found
93% of participants reported better sleep within the first four nights of grounding. — Oschman et al., 2015, Journal of Inflammation Research
02 / 07Often noticed: 1–4 weeks
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.
What the research found
Medical infrared imaging showed reduced inflammation and participants reported less pain after grounding. — Oschman, Chevalier & Brown, 2015, Journal of Inflammation Research
03 / 07Often noticed: weeks to months
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.
What the research found
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
04 / 07Often noticed: first nights
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.
What the research found
Grounded subjects showed a measurable reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity. — Passi et al., 2017
05 / 07Often noticed: within days
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.
What the research found
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
06 / 07Often noticed: 2–4 weeks
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.
What the research found
Grounding during sleep normalized night-time cortisol rhythms, with participants reporting less fatigue. — Ghaly & Teplitz, 2004, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
07 / 07Often noticed: over months
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.
What the research found
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

I got the mattress pad vs the sheet this time. I was not satisfied with the fitted sheet but the pad has surpassed its use vs the fitted sheet my energy and overall health issues are much better with the Matt. Thank youu
I wasn't sure that it was working till we went on vacation and didnt have it for a week. I now need to purchase a second one for our camper.
I bought it for my mom and it has helped her sleep better with her sciatic nerve pain for she is 85 years old and I very much appreciate your product
I've had neck pain due to sleeping on so many different pillows in hotel rooms when traveling for work. I started using the pillow case at home first and my neck pain started to subside. Now I take it whenever I travel and I haven't had any neck pain since and can sleep on a lot of different pillows! Highly recommend!
I got hit by a car when i was 18, 78 now, and fractured my pelvic bone. I have issued with the L4 and L5 and see a chiropractor. I have used the grounding sheets for about a year, but I switched to this mattress pad because of how you have to carefully wash them. I truly LOVE this pad. I sleep thru the night, except for 1 or 2 bathroom breaks, with no pain. I can get back into bed and fall back to sleep, no problem..Highly recommend.
The first night I put this on my bed, I felt relaxed and slept better than I have in ages. I'm a HORRIBLE sleeper (always have been) and this has helped me to fall back asleep during the night and sleep deeper, waking up refreshed (or sometimes a bit sleepy still because I'm so relaxed!). I found out I was using this upside down for nearly a month but it still worked for me. I bought my daughter one, too, to try and she has said the same thing. She's sleeping better and her shoulder doesn't hurt as much when she's sleeping on this. I just upgraded to the mattress pad for her and can't wait for it to arrive and see how much more it may help her!
So far I love it! I haven't slept this sound in over 20 years! This product has changed my life! I have been telling everyone I can about this mattress pad.
I was impressed with the obvious quality. This thing is reall well made. You feel like you are getting your moneys worth. I would have given it 5 stars, but honestly I can't quantify how well it works. I do sleep great on it.
A great option for grounding. I have previously used other grounding sheets but never of this quality. It was easy to place using the straps that wrap around the mattress. I had hesitated thinking that I would have to wrestle with the thick mattress, but that was not an issue in any way. I'm sleeping very well and notice a big difference when I travel from home for a few days and don't have the benefit of a grounding sheet. I highly recommend!
Had owned two sheets (not Earthbound) in the past, but both didn’t last long! Finally purchased the Earthbound mat and love it! Love that I can use my own sheet but more then that, my knee pain had returned while not using grounding and I am sleeping better and the knee pain has subsided! Grounding is for real, and I’ll never be without the Earthbound mat!
We live on a boat and bought it for use in the marina when we have shore power. It works great on the Queen bed even with one edge of the being smaller. We are both over 65 and it seems to help us sleep better and longer.
Well, being older - with frozen shoulder, arthritis all along the right side joints . . . I'm able to sleep a lot better and more deeply. I still don't have a lot of energy during the day, but it's improving now that the warmer weather is finally here !
I Did not expect very much from this May but I was willing to give it a try. It has exceeded my expectations and improved the quality of my sleep. I did also invest in 100% cotton sheets separately as well as some cotton PJs. I have now Recommended this product to family and friends. I feel like it was money well spent.
I Absolutely love our King sized Grounding Mattress pad !!! I could feel a difference just after a few nights. It definitely has had helped with some of my sleeping problems. Im thinking about trying a couple other products now that I found out how wonderful it works!!!
Earthbound™ Grounding Mattress Pad + Free Grounding Test Kit
My arms use to fall a sleep all the time. Now with the grounding pad they don’t!? It has helped circulation for sure.
Earthbound® Grounding Mattress Pad
Store owner replied: It's one thing to read about circulation and Zeta Potential, and another to feel it firsthand from sleeping grounded! We're happy to hear about your results.
I love it and already feel the difference.
It's been great so far ... first ordered the mattress topper ... but I had some silver infused sheets and we thought that they might be interfering with it. So I got rid of the sheets (returned them actually) and then I didn't want to take any chances of not getting results because I was not actively touching the topper, so I ordered the fitted sheet. Now I am using both and MIGHT send back the topper ... haven't decided yet. BUT my husband and I are BOTH sleeping WONDERFULLY and I have Fibromyalgia have been feeling much better (lower inflammation) !!! Just what the doctor ordered ... AND great customer service doesn't hurt !!! Thanx soooo much for the great job & products !!! BTW I had never HEARD of grounding before you and (of course) had skepticism before ordering. But your guarantee got me to try !!
This is the king bed and the grounding cover fits the entire mattress which ensures that you are grounded throughout the night, regardless of your position in the bed. My order was timely and we absolutely love love it. Our sleep is greatly improved, and I cannot imagine being without it now.
The grounding test kit was very easy to understand it had great instructions and was easy to use. The grounding sheet is working great I feel like new after a couple months.
So great to have another option for when I cant get outside. High quality and great price
I’ve been using the earthbound grounding bed mat for about 3 months. Seem to sleep better. Less aches and pains. It doesn’t bunch up under the fitted sheet. I like it very much!
Earthbound™ Grounding Mattress Pad + Free Grounding Test Kit
I am thrilled about having a grounding Rod! That is so vital to my lifestyle. I absolutely love camping out and with the grounding Rod I can camp anywhere and still be able to use my Mattresses pad because I am Grounded by Earth. I use it in my house too because my house is old and with this I do not have to worry. I cannot stress its importance enough. I highly recommend it 💯 %.
I received my queen mattress pad and installed it the next day. It was several days before I felt any difference. Now I wake up with no pain anywhere. I can get out of bed and walk where before I had to stand and make sure I wouldn’t fall before I took a step. I sleep great and feel well rested when I get up. I’m almost 74 years old and I feel so much better since I’ve been sleeping on my Earthbound mattress pad. I love it!
This company is amazing and the customer service was fabulous. The mattress pad is warm but could be just me. This picture shows a queen size cover on my king size it works fabulous as only me in this big bed. I’ve now received the king size one. I’ve also purchased extra for both daughters and g’daughter. Can’t say enough about sleep benefit, reduced inflammation and able to fall asleep quickly after getting up and returning to bed. Company exceeds the customer service if any other company. Great job
Our pad works wonderful, very happy, thanks!
Sleep is better than ever
Feels very good. My sleep is excellent….seven hours undisturbed
Don’t think just using a grounding sheet is going to help… Definitely add a grounding pillowcase into the mix! This has been a huge game changer. I have slept so much better and gotten full night sleep since using this pillowcase. I wake up with less pain, less aches and more movement in my neck than before I use this. I highly recommend it will continue using this!
I researched many grounding brands before choosing Earthbound, and it stood out to me for its focus on quality, thoughtful design, and clear product information. The mattress pad feels well made, was easy to set up, and fits comfortably under my sheet. Earthbound has made my first grounding experience simple and reassuring, and I’m very happy with my choice.
I really enjoyed this product. I thought that the initial set up was super easy and efficient. I was a little unsure how comfortable this pillowcase would be at first because of its texture but after trying it out I ended up loving it!
First night was weird. Was very buzzy all over but that wore off after a night or two. Sleep was off for a week or two meaning that I would sleep for 4 hrs then wake for 2 and back asleep for 3-4 hrs before going to work. Now after a month sleeping well all night but waking at 5 am ready to go. Have not decided if that is good or bad yet.
Earthbound Grounding sheet is the softest and most breathable sheet I've ever felt. Testing and install only took a few minutes. I like that the cors and the stretchy support bands give you room and options for placement. It's undetectable under my sheet. This is of interest to me because I've been struggling with restful sleep and some inflammatory issues lately. I'm really hoping to see improvement over the coming weeks.
This grounding pillowcase has been an effective addition to my sleep routine. It’s very comfortable, breathable and easy to use.
As a busy mom to three young kids, I don't always get as much sleep as I should. So I'm doing everything I can to ensure the sleep I do get is really good, quality rest. It's only been about a week with my grounding pad, but I feel my sleep is so much deeper and more restful than previously. My random little aches and pains have eased, and I wake up feeling more rested and refreshed! I truly can't feel it under my sheets, which is amazing - just get to experience all the benefits.
Great product! I’ve noticed a difference with my skin and face. I sleep better as well. I do think a plug should come with the product though so you don’t have to buy something else and possibly expand the pillowcases to fit king sized pillows as well. Other than those two critics you have a great product
I absolutely love this grounding pad! After using it for a week, I've noticed that I fall asleep quicker and without relying on sleep aids. Putting the pad on was a breeze and very simple! The material is breathable (I don't get warm!) and you can't even tell it's under your sheet. Simply a 5 out of 5! You must try one!
I like this product! It has a very nice smooth feel and breathable material. It can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth or cleaning wipe. The two huge elastic bands fit nicely around my king-size mattress to keep it in place.
I loved how thin the mattress pad was and it was super easy to set up and put on my bed. I can't feel it under my sheets and I love the fact that I am grounding while I sleep.
Earthbound was easy to install and I would never know it’s there. I wake up with less pain, I can’t wait to see how better I feel, the more I use it!
It was easy to put on my bed and easy to figure out. I’m very hopeful with this product. I’m not sleeping well and I’m hopeful this is going to be the ticket to a better nights sleep.

Grounding patches FAQ
Do grounding patches actually work?
Yes — grounding patches deliver the same earth connection as walking barefoot, focused on one specific area of your body. Each patch has a conductive gel center that adheres to your skin and connects, through the included cord, to the grounding port of a standard outlet. That places the area in direct contact with the Earth's free electrons. This is the same principle, called grounding or earthing, that researchers have studied for years. Research suggests that this kind of direct contact with the earth may help support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes, healthy circulation, and recovery. The patches simply let you direct that connection to a single spot — a knee, a back, a recovering joint — rather than your whole body at once.
How do grounding patches work?
Each patch is a soft, non-woven pad with a conductive gel center. You peel it, stick it onto clean skin over the area you want to ground, then snap the included cord onto the patch and plug the other end into the grounding port of a standard outlet. From there, the patch places that part of your body in contact with the Earth's free electrons, drawn in through your home's grounding wire. There is no electricity flowing through the patch to you — only the Earth's natural electrons travel through the connection.
Where on my body should I place grounding patches?
Anywhere you want targeted grounding. Common spots include a sore knee, lower back, ankle, wrist, shoulder, or a recovering muscle. Place the gel center directly on clean, dry skin so it makes solid contact, and move the patch to wherever you need it most that day. Because the connection is focused on one area, patches are ideal when you want grounding concentrated on a specific spot rather than spread across your whole body.
Are grounding patches safe? Does electricity run through them?
No electricity ever flows through the patch to you. The patch connects only to the grounding wire in your outlet — the same wire that safely carries excess charge to the earth — and draws in the Earth's free electrons, nothing more. The included cord has a built-in 100k ohm current-limiting resistor as an added safety measure. We recommend testing your outlet with the included tester before first use, and, as a simple precaution, disconnecting during thunderstorms.
How do I set up grounding patches?
Setup takes under a minute. First, plug the included outlet tester into your wall socket to confirm it's properly grounded. Then peel a patch and stick it onto the area you want to ground, snap one end of the cord to the patch, and plug the other end into the outlet's grounding port. That's it — peel, stick, snap, and you're grounded. No apps, no charging, and nothing to maintain.
Can I reuse a grounding patch, and how long does a pack last?
Yes. As long as the gel center stays in contact with your skin, a single patch can be worn and reused for up to three days before you replace it. Each kit includes 30 patches, so a pack is designed to keep you supplied for regular use, with a fresh patch always ready when you need one. Store unused patches in the sealed pack to keep the gel from drying out.
How are patches different from a grounding mat or the mattress pad?
They solve different problems. A grounding mat or mattress pad keeps your whole body connected to the earth passively while you rest — broad, all-over coverage. Grounding patches are for targeted grounding: one focused area at a time, placed exactly where you feel it. Many customers use the mattress pad at night for full-body coverage and reach for a patch when one specific spot — a flaring knee, an aching back, a recovering joint — needs concentrated attention.
