Grounding Starter Kit
Grounded sleep significantly improves sleep quality & total rest while easing insomnia & stress.
— Advances in Integrative Medicine, 2025
- Everything to start grounding — a Large grounding mat, two black carbon-fiber pillow covers, cords, outlet tester, e-book, and guide
- Grounded day and night — the mat keeps you connected at your desk, the pillow covers while you sleep
- The easiest first step — durable conductive carbon fiber that won't oxidize, so your introduction to grounding lasts
The clinical evidence
Grounding — also called earthing — is the same direct contact with the Earth that every piece in this kit delivers through its conductive carbon-fiber surface. It has been studied in peer-reviewed reviews and controlled trials examining inflammation, circulation, pain, stress, and recovery. The literature points to beneficial effects on inflammation- and circulation-related outcomes.
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.
2020: A peer-reviewed review linked grounding with reduced pain, inflammation, and stress, plus improved circulation and energy.
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, and overall well-being.
2015: A peer-reviewed review connected grounding with reduced inflammation, improved immune response, and faster recovery.
Oschman, Chevalier & Brown, Journal of Inflammation Research, 2015 — peer-reviewed review of grounding’s effects on inflammation, the immune response, wound healing, and recovery.
2013: Grounding improved red blood cell surface charge and reduced blood viscosity, supporting healthier circulation.
Chevalier et al., Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2013 — controlled study measuring zeta potential and blood viscosity, both key factors in circulation, before and after grounding.

Who is this kit for?
Anyone curious about grounding who wants an easy, affordable first step. If you're not ready to commit to a full mattress pad setup, this kit lets you experience grounding where you spend your stillest hours — at your desk or couch during the day, and on your pillow at night. It's also a thoughtful gift for someone who's been curious about earthing.
How do I use it?
Two simple setups. Place the grounding mat under your feet at a desk, under your wrists as you type, or anywhere you sit for long stretches. Slip the pillow covers over your pillows so your head and neck stay grounded through the night. Each connects to a standard grounded wall outlet with the included cord — no apps, no charging, nothing to maintain.
Is it safe? Does electricity run through it?
Completely safe. No electricity ever flows through the mat or covers to you — they connect only to the ground port of your outlet and draw in the Earth's free electrons, nothing more. The grounding cord has a built-in 100k ohm resistor for added safety, and the included test kit confirms your outlet is properly grounded before you begin.
Will I actually feel a difference with just a mat and pillow covers?
Grounding is gradual, and everyone responds differently. Many people notice calmer, more restful sleep within the first week, with fuller benefits building over 30 to 90 days of consistent use. This kit grounds you during two meaningful windows — your workday and your sleep — so you get a real sense of what grounding offers. For whole-body grounding through the night, the mattress pad is the complete next step.
How is this different from buying the mattress pad?
The mattress pad grounds your whole body passively all night — it's our #1 product and the complete experience. This starter kit is the affordable introduction: it grounds your head at night and your body at your desk by day, for a fraction of the price. Many people start here, feel the difference, and upgrade to the pad for full-body overnight grounding.
Why carbon fiber instead of silver-thread products?
Most grounding products weave silver thread into cotton — and because metal and cotton wear differently, repeated washing causes fraying and lost conductivity over time. Every piece in this kit uses conductive carbon fiber: inert, non-reactive, and built to hold its conductivity for years. It won't oxidize or degrade, which makes it a true buy-it-once choice.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by our 90-Night Risk-Free Trial. Use the kit consistently for a month, and if you're not satisfied, we'll refund you. Grounding is an investment in how you feel, and we want you to try it with zero risk — which is part of why more than 32,937 customers have chosen to ground with Earthbound.

Start your health journey towards a calmer, more grounded you.
Modern life is biological insulation — shoes, floors, chairs, and beds keep you sealed off from the Earth for nearly every hour of the day. The two places that disconnect matters most are the ones where you're most still: wherever you sit and relax during the day, and your pillow at night, where your head and neck rest ungrounded for six to eight hours while your body is trying to recover.
16+ hrs
a day most people spend cut off from the Earth — awake and asleep
The Grounding Starter Kit closes both gaps. The grounding mat goes wherever you settle in — under your feet at a desk, beneath your forearms, on the couch while you read, at the counter while you cook — putting you in contact with the Earth's free electrons through your waking hours. Free electrons may help neutralize free radicals and support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes.
Everything connects to any standard grounded outlet — no apps, no charging, nothing to maintain. Backed by our 90-night trial and lifetime warranty, so you can settle in with nothing to lose.

Happy to see the new technology
I have known about Earthing for many years, but I was so happy to see the new technology spring up that allows for conductivity without direct skin on a sheet! This is great! I am sleeping better and very pleased with the size of the mat!

Thanks for the start of my restorative sleep again
After dealing with serious menopausal symptoms, including lack of sleep, nervousness...etc. I starting looking elsewhere than medications that were making it worse. I pulled a blind folded study on my husband and decided not to tell him that it was on our bed. After a couple of weeks, I noticed, and he also mentioned, that he is sleeping deeper. Recently I started having dreams again. This is a great product, my only suggestion would be to find a way to know that the current is working on the mattress instead of testing every week (my outlet only has this plugged in) Thanks for the start of my restorative sleep again.

Finally sleeping through the night
Sleep more soundly, up less during night, nagging aches seem to disappear. Love the pillow covers also, great for neck and shoulder areas. Very comfortable.
Regina Sousa5 days ago
Makes quite an impact
I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I believe it has helped me sleep sounder and actually dreamt which does not happen very often. I have felt more rested daily. I removed it for a week and felt a need to put it back on my bed because I felt tired. I am very happy with the purchase and I will buy again. Thank you very much for a quality grounded pad. Excellent product and makes quite an impact on my sleeping and less tired during the day. Highly recommend.

More durable than grounding sheets
Works as good as the sheets I had that wore out due to washing. Problem solved!
James Bowe1 day ago
This pad is worth every penny
The grounding mat is excellent. It fully covers and stays in place on our king bed. Our normal wake up - all body pain and stiffness- has become a memory as we wake up almost pain and stiffness free. This pad is worth every penny. We added to it by placing miracle sheets on the bed and pillow cases. Great combo.

Pain relieved
I believe the mattress pad has not only helped me get a better night sleep, but has also helped to heal the pain in my right hip.
Eric Stoneberg1 day ago
Glad I replaced my sheet
I had been using a grounding sheet that was effective when I first purchased it, then through repeated washings it lost its efficacy. Replacing it with this grounding pad has been a revelation. I'm sleeping more deeply. And dreaming more! I'm glad I replaced the old sheet with the pad from Earthbound.

I expect continued improvement
I had a grounding mat before this one, and after five years, it was disintegrating so I threw it away. After a week, my joints were hurting and I was sleeping very poorly. I didn't immediately find your website, so I bought a grounding sheet for $189. After a couple of weeks, it was obvious it wasn't as good as a grounding mat. I then found your website and placed an order. My joints feel much better, and my edema is improved. I have slept through a few nights without waking up or turning over, as I had slept for several years. I expect continued improvement.

This way you can use your regular sheets
Love it, sleeping better, pet sleeping on bed sleeps better. We shared one with someone else and she is loving it too. We have the extra one on our guest room bed. Thank you I think the whole mattress cover is the best, I wasn’t liking the look of the sheets draped over. This way you can use your regular sheets.

I'm a believer
I'm not as convinced for me but I have seen a BIG change in my wife's sleep. She has been sleeping in a way we have not seen in a long time. It's real. I'm a believer.

Slow to tell, slow to feel
Slow to tell. Slow to feel. I am in constant extreme pain. Did the grounding mat help. 100%. Did I feel it right away...no. it's been weeks. Do I feel it now...absolutely 100% yes. Got a long way to go. This absolutely mysterious grounding mat has helped. I am, every day, less and less in pain. Do I attribute to this mysterious grounding mat? How could I not. Day by day....less and less all over body pain. Coincidence...I don't think so. Am I pain free.. no. Less mobility pain..100%. Do I recommend... yes. You don't know the benefits until you try. I attribute my reduction in all over pain to this magnificent mar. Do it.

I am able to get out of bed easier
I feel like the mattress pad is really helping with my pain in the morning. I am able to get out of bed easier and seem to be sleeping more deeply and waking less times a night. It has only been about a month and am hoping that this will continue to improve as more time goes on.

I was finally able to fall asleep
I've only used it a few nights and am already seeing a difference in sleep quality. I have arthritis and the first night was painful. I had been traveling for a week and the night after I returned was especially painful after a day of shuttles, airports, and flying. Mat probably reduced the pain enough I was finally able to fall asleep. I take no prescription or otc pain meds, so it may have been a pretty good test. Last night was far better and slept quietly and well. Looking forward to even longer sleep periods with less and less pain.
Amalia Ramirez6 days ago
I have rarely ever slept through the entire night
Simply Amazing. I am 45 years old and ever since I can remember I have rarely ever slept through the entire night. Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep was a normal thing for me. I was skeptical about the grounding mat at first. I am so glad I got it. I'm getting a good night's rest and I can't explain it. I definitely recommend it.
Sean Schofield3 days ago
This is a major improvement in my life
I have used the grounding mat before, but it was rather small and would move in the night. This is amazing. It works amazing and I could tell the next morning when I woke up. I was so well rested and my joints actually are not hurting like not at all.. It’s insane that the first day I could tell a huge difference on each day it still keeps happening so I was saying this is a major major improvement in my life and I appreciate it so much thanks guys !

Thank you for a superior product
It works. Sleeping better and less pain in the morning. I have it connected to an 8ft grounding rod and using a multimeter to test for ground through our Cotton bed sheet and it definitely is grounded. Thank you for a superior product...

I had been a bit skeptical
I just love the mattress pad. I had been a bit skeptical but thought what have you got lose, other than money, Let me tell you it was the best purchase ever. I had trouble falling asleep with my insomnia and pain from neuropathy. I tried cannabis which sometimes helped with sleep but did nothing for my neuropathy. Once we put on the mattress pad things started to change. After the first night I was able to fall asleep within minutes and the best part, neuropathy no longer bothered me at night and sleep through the night only to get up to use the bathroom and was then able to fall back asleep almost immediately.

I’m ecstatic and would recommend it to anyone
I have struggled with insomnia my whole life. I tried EVERYTHING. Sleep studies, feng shui, no electronics, sleep apps, plus the nightly concoction of pills that “kind of” worked was ridiculous….Ambien, melatonin, 2 Benadryl. Maybe I’ll be asleep by 1AM. Nothing worked. I’ve been using the grounding mat for a month. The first week I was skeptically enthusiastic but still suspicious. I thought it was probably psychosomatic and would quit working. I’m a month in, and I’m still not sure I understand, but this mat is a miracle. I sleep. I fall asleep much more quickly, I relax and I stay asleep. Like a full night of sleep! I can’t tell you the last time I slept all night….my typical routine was 3-4 nights of little to no sleep and then a night where I would crash but was restless and still woke up tired. I have slept every night. Even my husband is amazed. I also travel for work. I bought a twin size to travel with and I am sleeping really well while traveling also. I chose the mat over the sheets because I thought it would last longer and would be cleaner. I’m ecstatic and would recommend anyone with sleep issues to try it. Maybe it’s voodoo magic, I don’t care. I sleep!

Don't feel the need to take a nap after lunch anymore
I have definitely noticed that I am sleeping much more soundly and a bit longer than usual for me. In return, my energy level has risen, but at 80, I'm not sure how much of an improvement I can expect. I don't feel the need to take a nap after lunch on a regular basis anymore.

How do I use the kit?
Two simple setups. Place the grounding mat wherever you settle in — under your feet, beneath your forearms, on the couch while you read, or at the counter. Slip the pillow covers over your pillows so your head and neck stay grounded through the night. Each connects to a standard grounded wall outlet with the included cord — no apps, no charging, nothing to maintain.
Do grounding products actually work?
Grounding, also called earthing, reconnects your body to the Earth's natural supply of free electrons — the same connection you'd get standing barefoot on grass or sand. A growing body of peer-reviewed research associates grounding with better sleep, calmer nervous-system activity, healthy circulation, and faster recovery. Everyone responds differently, but this kit grounds you during two meaningful windows — your waking hours and your sleep — so you get a real sense of what grounding offers.
Is it safe? Does electricity run through it?
Completely safe. No electricity ever flows through the mat or covers to you — they connect only to the ground port of your outlet and draw in the Earth's free electrons, nothing more. The grounding cord has a built-in 100k ohm resistor for added safety, and the included test kit confirms your outlet is properly grounded before you begin.
Where can I use the grounding mat?
Anywhere you sit or stand for a stretch. Place it under your feet while you work or relax, under your forearms, beside you on the sofa, or at the kitchen counter. It's slim and folds flat, so it travels easily to a hotel room or a friend's house. The more of your day you spend in contact with it, the more grounded time you get.
How long until I notice a difference?
Grounding is gradual, and everyone responds differently. Many people notice calmer, more restful sleep within the first week, with fuller benefits building over 30 to 90 days of consistent use. That's exactly why the kit is backed by a 90-Night Risk-Free Trial — enough time to feel the difference for yourself, with nothing to lose.
Why carbon fiber instead of silver-thread products?
Most grounding products weave silver thread into cotton — and because metal and cotton wear differently, repeated washing causes fraying and lost conductivity over time. Every piece in this kit uses conductive carbon fiber: inert, non-reactive, and built to hold its conductivity for years. It won't oxidize or degrade, which makes it a true buy-it-once choice.
Can I put a regular pillowcase over the grounding covers?
For the strongest connection, your skin should touch the grounding pillow cover directly — layering a standard, non-conductive case on top blocks the flow of the Earth's electrons. Use the grounding cover as the surface closest to your skin. The mat works the same way: bare skin contact gives the fullest effect, though light, natural-fabric clothing still allows a connection.
How do I care for the kit, and will washing reduce conductivity?
The pillow covers are machine washable — wash warm or cold and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets, which coat the conductive fibers and degrade performance over time. Wipe the mat clean with a damp cloth as needed; avoid soaking or harsh solvents. Cared for properly, carbon fiber holds its conductivity far longer than silver-thread products.
Do you ship free, and do you sell on Amazon?
Free shipping on all orders over $50, direct to your door. We never sell on Amazon or any third-party marketplace — every Earthbound kit comes straight from us, so you never risk receiving a knockoff. And with every order, 5% goes to the Clean Water Initiative. More than 32,937 customers have chosen to ground with Earthbound.
