Have trouble getting a full night’s rest? Some people try a grounding sheet to see whether it helps them feel more comfortable at night. It is a simple product you can try, but its health effects are unproven, and it is not a treatment for any illness or pain. Earthing sheets, made from cotton with integrated silver threads, create a conductive pathway. They connect to the grounding port of your electrical outlet with a cord.

How do Earthing and Grounding Sheets Work?

Earthing, or grounding, means putting your body in direct contact with the Earth. Your skin touches soil, sand, water, or a conductive surface connected to the ground. And that’s the shortest answer. The idea behind earthing is that the Earth’s surface has a mild negative charge, and that touching it changes the body’s electrical state. Supporters believe modern life, with little direct contact with the ground, affects health. These ideas have not been shown in rigorous research.^[1] Supporters claim earthing helps with pain, inflammation, sleep, stress and more. Small studies have looked at some of these claims, but none has been proven. See what the research says below.

What the Research Says

• A 2015 review written by grounding researchers summarized mostly small pilot studies on inflammation and pain. It is a narrative review by supporters of the idea, not proof that grounding works.^[2]
• A 2023 review argued that most indoor-earthing experiments don’t control for factors such as how well the building’s electrical ground works.^[1]
• There is a growing body of evidence that spending time outdoors is good for physical and mental health, with or without touching the ground.^[1]

In short, a grounding sheet is a bed sheet with a cord. Any health effect is unproven.

Earthing Indoors with Grounding Sheets?

Walking outside barefoot is the simplest way to practice earthing. However, many people can’t or don’t want to spend time outdoors. Indoors, people use earthing pads, mats, or sheets instead.

• You can use an earthing mat under your arms or feet while working at a desk. Earthing mats are affordable and travel-friendly, too.
• A half-size earthing mattress sheet can be used on any bed size. Made from cotton or cotton blends, these also come in different price ranges.
• Fitted earthing sheets cover the whole mattress, like a normal fitted sheet.

Caring for Your Grounding Sheet

Here’s what you can do to protect your earthing sheets:

• Wash your sheet routinely – once every week or two. If you don’t, body secretions can affect the silver fibers’ conductivity.
• Wash your sheet in warm water: Do not dry clean your sheet; use a gentle wash cycle and lukewarm water (or the temperature on the maker’s label). Then, tumble dry on a ‘low’ or ‘no heat’ setting.
• Never use bleach – Bleach or bleach-containing detergents can destroy the silver fibers’ conductivity.
• Read labels – If the label lists fabric softener, Oxi-clean, or lavender oil, don’t use it.
• No night creams and lotions – At least an hour before bed, avoid applying any products to areas of your body that will contact the grounding bed sheet.
• Hydrogen peroxide for stain removal: Spot-treat hard-to-remove stains with hydrogen peroxide, if the maker’s care label allows it.

For more protection, you may also consider a bed bug mattress cover to help keep bed bugs out of your mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Earthing Sheets

1. What is an earthing sheet? Grounding or earthing sheets and mats create an electrical connection between your body and the earth. The goal is to mimic the physical connection you make while walking barefoot on the earth.
2. Do grounding sheets really work? There is no good evidence that they do. The studies so far are small, often poorly designed, and too preliminary to base conclusions on.^[1]
3. Can you wash an earthing sheet? You can wash earthing sheets in a washing machine using a standard liquid detergent that does not contain chlorine or other chemical bleaches, such as oxy-bleaches or oxy-whiteners.
4. How long do earthing sheets last? It depends on how well you care for it. Makers say they can last up to about 5 years with regular washing and the right detergent.

How we chose these products

We did not test these products ourselves. We compared them using the research steps on our How We Research page:

• Type and materials: taken from the maker’s listing.
• Recall check: we searched the CPSC recall database for each brand and for grounding products.^[3]
• Availability: each product was listed as in stock on Amazon when we last checked (October 2026).

We do not use scores or star ratings, and we do not show prices because they change often. Health claims on product listings are the maker’s, not ours.
