Benefits

Faster Recovery – Grounding helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. It’s used by pro athletes, including Tour de France teams, to support better sleep and faster recovery. Watch an interview with Sports Chiropractor Dr Jeff Spence.

EMF Protection – Ideal for those sensitive to EMFs, this shielding bag creates a low-EMF recovery zone, supporting rest and repair in high-EMF areas like apartments and hotels.

 

How EMF Shielding Works

EMF shielding fabric acts like a barrier, reducing the intensity of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) by blocking and deflecting their energy. This reduction is known as attenuation, a term used in physics to describe the weakening of a signal. The level of attenuation is measured in decibels (dB), with independent lab tests showing how well the shielding fabric performs at different EMF frequencies (see our lab test results).

Common EMF Frequencies in Australia

Here are the typical EMF/EMR sources you’ll find in most Australian homes:

3G mobile networks – 850 MHz, 900 MHz, and 2100 MHz

4G mobile networks – from 700 MHz up to 2600 MHz

5G and newer devices – currently operating at 3.5 GHz, as well as using 4G bands

Smart meters – often transmit between 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz

WiFi routers – generally run at 2.4 GHz, with dual-band models also using 5 GHz depending on the settings

Do I Need to Cover My Head for EMF Protection?

The EMF & Earthing Recovery Bag is long enough to include your head if desired. You can put your pillow in the bag, or underneath. In most cases, people sleep with their head undercover for comfort or breathability reasons. If you want protection for your head, we recommend using lightweight, breathable mesh-like shielding such as that used for canopies or curtains.

What’s Better for Earthing – an Earthing Sleeping Bag or an Underlay?

If your main goal is earthing, a dedicated underlay generally delivers a stronger effect. That’s because earthing strength depends on body surface contact, product size, pressure (like your body weight), and how long you use it. A full underlay beneath you, especially in direct contact, provides the most effective connection. That said, combining an underlay with an earthing recovery bag or top layer above your sheets may increase the effect slightly. If you’re new to earthing or dealing with chronic conditions like CFS, Lyme, or autoimmune illness, it’s wise to start slowly. Our Ease Into Earthing Box is designed to help with a gentler introduction.

Comparison to other Recovery Bags

Most recovery bags do not include enough metal fibre to be EMF shielding. They tend to be made from silver-coated nylon or silver-coated copper. While effective at first, silver is prone to oxidising. Sweat, skin oils, creams, and certain laundry products (especially those with bleach or brighteners) can speed up this process. Oxidation reduces the fabric’s shielding performance and, in the case of silver-coated copper, can cause visible copper staining as the silver layer wears away.

Our EarthShield® fabric avoids these issues by using stainless steel fibres instead of silver. You can use any creams or lotions. It won’t oxidise or degrade over time, even with regular use. Additionally, we use the world’s highest quality zip from YKK. That’s why we confidently offer a 3-year warranty on materials, earthing, and shielding.

Additional information

Dimensions	205 x 90 cm
Fabric	Our Patented Antibacterial Grounding fabric is made with the highest quality medical grade (316L) solid stainless steel fibre (40%) and German-made Tencel with natural mineral antibacterial fibre (60%).
Washing Instructions	Gentle machine wash with warm to hot water to help remove body oils. If stained, you can soak before washing 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. Do not hand wash as this will not adequately remove body oils built up over time.
Drying Instructions	Line dry. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.
Washing Frequency	Wash each 3-6 months (as not against your skin when using with cotton liner) to avoid the build-up of oils from your hair and body. Body oils do not affect the EMF shielding but act as a barrier to good conductivity until washed out. This fabric is naturally antibacterial and remains hygienic between washes. Please note if you have an allergy to nickel in stainless steel or to 9 or 14-carat gold, avoid direct skin contact with this product.

Antibacterial

Why Antibacterial Fibre?

Earthing products will naturally build up some sweat and body oils from normal use. This build-up can create a breeding ground for bacteria, mould or mildew.

Anti-bacterial fabric actively kills or inhibits the growth of bacteria, including those that cause odour.

Better Earthing does not use chemical antibacterial treatments or additives, which are not long-lasting, and can cause skin allergies.

We use German-made natural antibacterial mineral fibres, as part of the fabric composition. This means this product is permanently antibacterial, or antibacterial for its life.

Other benefits in addition to hygiene include less washing needed, plus longer fabric lifespan and lower replacement costs over time.

Warranty

This Better Earthing product comes with a 3-Year repair or replace Warranty against manufacturing defects and to earth effectively when used in accordance with the care instructions.

Indoor Earthing Explained

This Better Earthing EMF Protection Earthing Bag 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.
