What is an Earthing Sheet Underlay?

It is a thin underlay for earthing that you place directly under the regular cotton sheet that you sleep on.

Place it above your mattress protector, electric blanket or magnetic blanket

Better Earthing Fabric

Our Patented Antibacterial Grounding fabric made with the highest quality medical grade (316L) solid stainless steel fibre (35%) and German-made Tencel with natural mineral antibacterial fibre (65%).

The fitted side walls are 100% cotton and 40cm (16 inches) deep, and 50 cm deep (19.68 inches) in larger king sizes.

Fabric Feel & Appearance

This custom fabric has 35% Stainless Steel fibre by weight, and stainless steel fibres are around 5 times the weight of similar-sized cotton or Tencel fibres. This ensures that the fabrics do NOT feel hard or metallic.

It feels like very soft denim fabric. It breathes well and will earth effectively for many years while sleeping directly on your favourite cotton or natural fibre sheets.

Comparison to Other Earthing Sheets and Sleep Mats

Unlike silver or carbon-based earthing sheets or sleep mats, you don’t need to be concerned about damage from various ingredients in body creams, lotions, essential oils, magnesium oils, sulphur in heavy sweat or body oil or hair oil. Better Earthing fabric underlays are far superior to black carbon-coated earthing sleep mats made from Polyurethane (marketed as Leatherette), and low 3-5% silver-coated fibre cotton sheets which are often white with a grey grid pattern.

Both styles are very low-cost Chinese-made products, using low-cost materials, with short limited warranties. We back our underlays with a 3-year warranty.

Many earthing products have only a 1-year manufacturer warranty that applies only to defects. Some makers say their products should last for years or a lifetime, but they only offer a short warranty.

More about Better Earthing Underlay or Undersheet Design:

Better Earthing Sleep Systems are the world’s first earthing sheet that is designed to work through bed clothing and the fitted sheet you directly sleep on. NO direct skin contact is needed. The tiniest amount of body moisture or humidity in your clothes and sheets, compressed by your body weight, creates conductive channels that very effectively pass earth electrons from your highly conductive Better Earthing Sleep System.

By not sleeping directly against your earthing undersheet, the fabric is protected from normal wear & tear, which makes it last longer.

Other earthing sheets are designed for direct contact with bare skin and use silver-coated fibre in 3-8% of their earthing fabric compared to 35% solid stainless steel fibre.

Please note if you have an allergy to nickel in stainless steel or to 9 or 14-carat gold, then avoid direct skin contact. This product is designed as an underlay so no skin contact is needed.

Includes	Better Earthing Sheet Underlay, Better Earthing Adapter, Better Earthing Straight Lead (if you prefer a coiled lead please leave a note in the checkout). Product Guide & Set-Up Guide.
Fabric Appearance	This fabric is light grey and feels like linen. It is designed as an underlay, for use with your favourite sheets (cotton or any natural fibre).
Washing Instructions	Machine wash with warm to hot water to help remove body oils. We suggest presoaking beforehand in an Oxidiser soaker. This helps prevent the build-up of body oils, which act as a barrier to good conductivity and can reduce earthing strength until washed out. Oxidising soakers will not damage this fabric as our Stainless Steel fibre will not oxidise. Do not use Bleach as it will degrade the antibacterial fibre and over time will reduce its effectiveness.
Washing Frequency	Every 6 months.
Drying Instructions	Line dry in the sun or shade. Final drying in a tumble-dryer on low is okay. Do not dry clean.
Stainless steel & nickle	Please note if you have an allergy to nickel in stainless steel or to 9 or 14-carat gold, then avoid direct skin contact. Note this product is designed as an underlay and no skin contact is required.

Indoor Earthing Explained

This Better Earthing Sleep System comes with a special adapter plug and lead designed for earthing indoors.

All Australian and New Zealand power points have a third ‘earth’ pin (at the bottom) that is wired to a metal rod or plate buried in the ground. This safety mechanism is called grounding – it’s there to send excess electricity back into the ground (earth). Indoor Earthing products use ground wiring in your home to safely pass free electrons from the earth to your indoor earthing product, then to you.

No electricity is used. You can earth with the power point turned off. The top two prongs of Better Earthing adapter are plastic, instead of metal like a normal plug, so no a/c current from your electricity mains can pass through.

For added safety, Better Earthing leads have a 50,000 ohm safety resistor, plus fine wires inside like fuse-wire. This protects against the very rare event of a power surge via a building’s earth wiring. If the nearby ground were struck with lighting, barely a mosquito bite of electricity could pass through this resistor.

Better Earthing adapter and lead conduct earth’s energy only. This is a safe and easy way to receive the earth’s health-enhancing free electrons from the comfort of your home.

You can use an autorange multimeter (sold separately) to verify that your products are correctly Earthed via the power point. Compare the amount of electrical voltage carried in your body when you are not earthed, compared to when you are earthed. You’ll be amazed by how much excess AC electricity your body can pick up from surrounding electrical cables and devices and how much it dissipates (reduces) when earthed.

There is also an optional outdoor earthing rod and 15m lead if you don’t wish to earth via the indoor earthed wall socket.

FAQs

How do I know if my fitted earthing sheet underlay is working?

The best way to check if your earthing sheet underlay is working correctly is with an autorange multimeter such as the ones for sale in our online shop. You will receive our guide and our handy custom extension cord with your order. Please contact us for further info.

I’ve noticed a tingling feeling while earthing. Is that normal?

Tingling and warmth are a sign that your circulation is improving. It’s quite normal for people feel this when they start earthing with an earthing sheet underlay.

I can see two connection points on my fitted earthing sheet underlay. Do I need two leads?

No. We provide two connection points on Better Earthing sheet underlays for your convenience so you can easily reach the wall outlet on either the left or right side of bed.

Which type of sheet is best to use on top of the Better Earthing sheet underlay?

We’ve found that bamboo viscose sheets are not as effective or as strong for grounding as cotton sheets. However, bamboo lyocell blend sheets are fine for earthing.
To keep it simple, we suggest 100% Cotton sheets. 100% Cotton Flannelette, Linen, Silk, Lyocell / Tencel, or Wool are all good.
Avoid polyester blend and bamboo (Viscose) as they do not earth as well. Synthetic and semi-synthetic sheets don’t hold moisture as well as cotton.
Moisture in the fabric is required because it creates tiny conductive channels for the earth’s free electrons to travel through. This moisture comes from the humidity in the air and from our body (which always gives off some moisture even without perspiring).

Do I need to have bare skin contact for Better Earthing products to work?

No. Your bare skin does not need to touch our Better Earthing sheet underlay for it to work. Our earthing sheet underlays are designed to work through clothing. The slightest of body moisture or humidity in your socks, clothes, or sheets creates conductive channels that very effectively pass earth from your Better Earthing product to you. Most other earthing sheets are designed for direct contact with bare skin as they use a low percentage of conductive material (3-8% silver-coated fibre) and cannot maintain their original conductivity for long. Our custom made earthing fabric has around 35% medical grade (316L) solid stainless steel fibre (of the highest quality). You can see the conductive metal with a strong magnifying glass. Our Tencel fabric is also certified as antibacterial and is strongly hygienic.

Can I use an electric blanket with my earthing sheet underlay?

Yes, you can use an electric blanket alongside your Better Earthing sheet underlay. Actually, it can be beneficial as earthing shields the body from AC electrical fields. With a multimeter, you can see the volts in your body go up when you sit on an electric blanket. Earthing brings those volts down.
We suggest placing your earthing sheet underlay over the top of the electric blanket and then having the regular cotton sheet that you sleep on as the top layer.
The earthing strength will likely be a little weaker for the first 30 minutes with your electric blanket. Then it will return to normal. That’s because electric blankets will dry out the regular cotton sheets on top. When you get into bed, just the slightest of moisture from your body will go back into the regular cotton sheets being slept on (usually within 30 minutes of being in bed). This tiny amount of moisture creates tiny conductive channels for free electrons to travel through.

Will creams, lotions, oils, or heavy sweat and body oil damage your earthing sheets?

No, as we use medical grade stainless steel fibres that are not damaged or oxidised by these. Many lotions, body oil and our sweat (which always contains sulphur) is a huge problem for earthing sheets using a low 3 to 10% silver coated fibre. Even sheets with a high % of silver can be damaged easily where the silver coating is thin and cheap and not coated with a good anti oxidising agent.

Washing detergents that contain bleach can also quickly oxidise silver and stop those sheets from earthing.

To understand how robust your earthing sheet is, always look at the warranty period and limitations, especially around conductivity and oxidisation. Black carbon coated Polyurethane products also have shorter warranties, and for good reasons.
