At a glance, a grounding sheet looks like any other soft cotton sheet. Here's what sets it apart.
| Regular bedsheet | Grounding sheet | |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Cotton or blends | Cotton with conductive threads woven in |
| Cord | None | A cord that connects to the ground port of an outlet |
| Connection to the earth | No | Yes, through your home's grounded wiring |
| Washing | Any detergent | Gentle detergent, no fabric softener or bleach |
| How you use it | Any way you like | With bare skin touching the sheet |
Why care is different
Fabric softener, bleach, and some lotions can coat the conductive threads over time. Wash the sheet as the care guide says, and let it dry before you use it.
Can I use it like a normal sheet?
Yes. You can sleep on it, wash it, and make the bed as usual. It works as a grounding sheet only when the cord is connected and your skin touches it.
Which one should I get?
- A half sheet goes across your existing bedding.
- A fitted sheet replaces your bottom sheet and covers the whole mattress.
