What Are Earthing and Grounding?

The terms earthing and grounding are often used interchangeably.

Traditionally, grounding means making direct contact with natural surfaces such as grass, soil or sand. Grounding products offer a convenient indoor alternative.

Popular options include:

• Grounding mats for desks, sofas and everyday use
• Grounding sheets & mattress covers for bedtime
• Grounding pillowcases for a smaller sleep setup
• Grounding blankets for relaxing at home

How Do Grounding Products Work?

Grounding products contain conductive materials and connect to a suitable grounding point.

Once connected, simply place bare skin in contact with the conductive surface while you work, relax or sleep.

Products designed for a UK socket use the earth connection only — they do not draw power from the live electrical supply.

Always follow the setup instructions supplied with your product.

Why Do People Explore Grounding?

Grounding is easy to fit into everyday life.

People commonly use grounding products:

• While working at a desk
• While relaxing on the sofa
• As part of a bedtime routine
• During stretching, meditation or quiet time
• When spending time barefoot outdoors isn't practical

There is no complicated routine — simply connect your product and maintain comfortable skin contact while carrying on with your day.
