Can You Use a Grounding Sheet on Any Mattress?

If you're thinking about adding a grounding sheet to your bedroom, one of the first questions is whether it will work with your mattress. The short answer: yes.

Why the mattress doesn't matter

A grounding sheet doesn't connect through the mattress. It connects through its cord, which runs from the sheet to the ground port of a properly grounded outlet. Memory foam, springs, latex, or a hybrid all work the same way.

Half sheet or fitted sheet?

A half sheet lies across your own bedding, right where you sleep. A fitted sheet replaces your bottom sheet and covers the whole mattress, so you stay in contact even if you move a lot at night.

What about toppers and mattress protectors?

Put them under the grounding sheet, never on top. The connection needs bare skin on the conductive surface.

One thing to check first

Before you connect, test the outlet nearest your bed with an outlet tester. Our Setup Guide walks you through it.
