Grounding
What is Grounding?
Grounding, also known as Earthing, is simply connecting your body directly to the natural electrical energy field that exists on the earth’s surface.
You can do this by walking barefoot outside or by using "barefoot substitutes" like the ones we teach you about on our site. These original TerraGround® products work by utilizing the ground port of home outlets or a simple ground rod kit to connect you to the Earth's energy. TerraGround® products have conductive materials that enable them to transfer the Earth's energy into your body when you have skin contact with them.
What is the difference between Grounding and Earthing?
Earthing and Grounding both involve reconnecting to the Earth's subtle, natural energy, and these terms are often used interchangeably.
However, some individuals make a distinction between the two. They use "Earthing" to describe the act of directly connecting the body to the Earth's surface with direct skin contact, like walking barefoot on the ground. On the other hand, "Grounding" is often used in the context of connecting electrical devices to the Earth to prevent electrical shocks and hazards, which is a different application entirely. While this differentiation may be relevant to electricians or engineers, for most people, the terms can be used interchangeably when referring to connecting to the Earth's surface for health and wellness benefits.
Reconnecting to the Earth's energy is as simple as walking barefoot outside on grass, sand, or concrete.
Alternatively, you can achieve grounding by using the original, time-tested, durable, and safe TerraGround® brand products, also known as "barefoot substitutes." You can learn more about these products on our site.
What is the technology behind Grounding products?
The science behind TerraGround® is beautifully simple.
Each sheet is woven with conductive silver fibers that act as tiny pathways for the Earth’s natural energy.
When you connect the included grounding cord to the grounding port of your wall outlet (or to a grounding rod outside), this gentle current flows through the silver threads and into your body — just like when you walk barefoot on grass.
As you rest, this natural energy helps neutralize excess electrical charge, reduce inflammation, and calm your nervous system, supporting deep sleep and faster recovery.
Our products are completely safe, durable, and designed to fit effortlessly into your nightly routine — bringing the healing power of nature back into your home.
Can Grounding help my pets too?
Absolutely! Pets, just like humans, can greatly benefit from grounding, especially if they spend most of their time indoors and lack opportunities to connect with the Earth's electrons, unlike their wild counterparts.
Grounding offers similar advantages to pets as it does to humans. In fact, if you place an Earthing sheet on your bed, pets often gravitate towards it instinctively.
Grounding can contribute to reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and stimulating collagen production, among other benefits. These positive effects also extend to the health and well-being of indoor animals. Additionally, Grounding may help alleviate stress and anxiety in indoor pets.
Many customers have observed that their pets are naturally drawn to grounded bedsheets and other products.. They seem to sense something beneficial and familiar, even though they cannot verbally express it. Their actions and responses serve as a testament to the benefits they experience.
Common Questions
Can I put a regular sheet over the grounding sheet?
For optimal results, Grounding works best when your bare skin directly contacts the grounded GroundingWell products.
While some of the Earth's energy can pass through thin layers if there is moisture present, skin contact remains the most effective method (even just a fingertip can work in nature).
We advise against using another sheet on top of the Grounding sheet, as it may interfere with conductivity. Rest assured, our Grounding sheets are designed to be highly comfortable for sleeping, and regular washing is recommended to ensure the best results.
Can I wear pajamas while sleeping on the grounding sheet?
Indeed, you can wear pajamas while sleeping on TerraGround®. While direct skin contact optimizes the grounding benefits, it's not necessary to sleep naked on the sheet. Comfortable pajamas or sleepwear are perfectly fine as long as there are body parts in direct contact with the sheet, such as arms, legs, or feet.
However, it's worth noting that having uncovered areas of skin in direct contact with the grounding sheet provides more targeted grounding benefits. This can be particularly advantageous if you have specific areas of concern that could benefit from the grounding process, as it may expedite the healing process in those regions.
For enhanced conductivity and effectiveness, it is generally recommended to use the grounding sheet directly on your mattress or bedding without an additional sheet on top. This allows for better direct contact with the grounding material, maximizing the grounding experience.
In conclusion, the key is to have certain areas of your body in contact with the grounding sheet during sleep. You can choose what feels most comfortable for you while ensuring that direct skin contact is established in those specific areas to achieve the desired benefits of grounding.
Do I need to have my entire body in contact with the sheet?
No — your whole body doesn’t need to touch the grounding sheet.
Once any part of your body makes contact — even your feet, legs, or arms — your body naturally conducts the Earth’s electrons.
These electrons spread instantly through your entire body’s fluid system, equalizing your electrical potential from head to toe.
So as long as some part of your body is touching the sheet, you’re fully grounded and receiving the same whole-body benefits.
Can two people share one grounding sheet?
Absolutely, yes.
If both people are in contact with the same TerraGround® Sheet, they’re both grounded.
The Earth’s energy flows freely across the entire conductive surface, so you don’t need two cords or two sheets.
Each person’s body naturally balances its own charge — there’s no interference or “sharing” of energy between you.
Is it safe to plug it into the wall?
Yes — completely safe.
The TerraGround® Sheet only connects to the ground port of your outlet — not to electricity.
It does not carry current, only the Earth’s natural electrons.
The included grounding cord and safety resistor ensure a perfect, secure connection. Many people use grounding sheets nightly for years — it’s a completely passive and natural system.
How do I wash the Grounding Sheet?
Your TerraGround® Sheet contains pure silver threads — naturally antibacterial and odor resistant — so it doesn’t need frequent washing.
Still, keeping it clean from sweat and natural oils helps maintain its conductivity and softness.
We recommend washing every 1–2 weeks, or as needed.
🌿 Washing Instructions
- Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle
- Use cold water only
- Use a mild, natural detergent (no bleach, fabric softener, or whitening agents)
- Avoid detergents containing essential oils or oxi-boosters
- Air dry only — do not tumble dry or iron
Avoid dryer sheets
Can I use it if I have a pacemaker or medical device?
Yes, generally it’s safe — but always check with your doctor first.
Grounding is a mild, natural process, not an electrical current, but medical devices can vary.
Show your doctor our technical specs (it connects only to ground, with built-in 100kΩ resistor for safety).
Can I use it if I have socks or a blanket on top?
Yes. Grounding still occurs, though it’s strongest with bare skin contact.
Natural fibers like cotton, linen, or bamboo allow the Earth’s energy to pass through softly over time.
Avoid synthetic fabrics (like polyester or acrylic), as they can block the grounding effect.
Will it fit my bed size?
Yes — the TerraGround® Sheet is designed to fit all mattress sizes.
Our universal 60 × 265 cm (24 × 104 in) sheet is wide enough to stretch across any bed — from Single to King and California King.
Simply lay it horizontally across your bed (under your fitted sheet or on top), and you’ll create a grounding zone that connects your entire body while you sleep.
It doesn’t need to cover the whole mattress — just one conductive strip across the middle of your bed is enough for full-body grounding.
🛏️ One size, one easy setup — grounding that works on every bed.
