Our Organic Earthing sheet is made from certified organic cotton, which makes it higher quality than our original version. Organically grown materials are also better for the environment for a number of reasons, which you are welcome to read about on our website. However, both versions perform exactly the same in terms of achieving the grounding effect and both therefore provide the same benefits.

No. The Rowland Earthing Sheet does not run on electricity, nor does it even come into contact with electricity. The sheet is only connected to the Earth point of the socket, which is the top hole of a standard UK plug socket. The other two prongs are plastic and are therefore non-conductive. The socket can therefore be switched off at all times and the sheet will perform the same.

The Earthing sheet is machine washable and comes with washing and care instructions. Sweat and natural skin oils can sometimes oxidise the silver over time, reducing the conductivity. However, this can be prevented by fitting the Earthing sheet underneath your current bed sheet or by washing regularly, just as you would a normal cotton sheet. Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver and keeps it conductive.

We personally recommend Green Scents Laundry liquid. This is a great eco choice for your Earthing sheet and will not cause any harm to the delicate silver threads.

Bleaches, lotions, fabric softeners and oils are best avoided as these can tarnish the silver, reducing its conductivity. It is also recommended to avoid the use of detergents that contain any of the following bleaching/whitening agents;

Chlorine based (Sodium hypochlorite, Calcium hypochlorite, etc.)

or

Peroxide/Oxygen based (Hydrogen peroxide, Sodium percarbonate, Sodium perborate, etc.) 

As long as the washing and care instructions are followed correctly, the Earthing sheet will have no problem lasting up to 3 years or more. You can check if your Earthing sheet is working with a conductivity tester.

We recommend fitting the Earthing sheet underneath your current bed sheet (please see FAQ on fitting underneath a top sheet). This provides an extra layer of protection and will help to extend the lifespan further.

Another option is the carbon based Earthing mats, which are durable enough to last for 10+ years. However, we do not sell these and we prefer the cotton style for comfort, health and environmental reasons.

We believe we are the only company offering certified Organic Earthing sheets in the UK. Unfortunately, there are a number of newer companies claiming to offer Organic Earthing sheets, which we believe are not genuine. We therefore always recommend contacting the company prior to purchase to verify the validity of their products. 

The Rowland Earthing Sheet has a 400 thread count. This is considered high quality for cotton fabrics and is a strong indicator of softness.  We have worked hard with our manufacturers to recreate the feel of a traditional cotton bed sheet.  With that said, the softness of fabrics is not just determined by the quantity but also the quality of the yarn itself.  By using certified organic cotton, we are proud to have created something that provides all the benefits of Earthing without compromising feel.

The silver is finely woven into the cotton in a grid-like pattern which gives the material a very similar feel to a normal cotton bed sheet. Pure silver is used for its unique conductive properties and helps to create a stronger Earth connection. 

The Rowland Earthing Sheet comes in a cardboard box and inside a biodegradable plastic bag.  To support efforts towards a more sustainable future, we also donate 1% of profits to Farmers Footprint and our partnership with Ecologi means that one tree is planted with every order. 

Yes, we recommend fitting the Earthing sheet underneath your current bed sheet providing that any covering bed sheet is made from natural materials such as cotton or bamboo.

Some people prefer to fit the Earthing sheet as a top layer for more direct contact and to create a stronger connection. However, our multimeter tests have confirmed that a strong Earth connection is still achieved when the Earthing sheet is fitted underneath a cotton bed sheet, even with an additional layer of clothes/pyjamas before reaching the skin level.

In addition, as you lie on the covering sheet, perspiration and environmental humidity will hydrate your sheet which further strengthens the Earth connection.

You can test this yourself with a simple conductivity test which we are happy to recommend.

The Original Organic Earthing Sheet measures 90cm x 2.8m and is suitable for single, double and king size beds.

We generally recommend fitting the sheet length-ways and having one sheet per person for maximum comfort and increased grounding exposure.

However, we also offer fitted Earthing sheets if you prefer a full size fit with elasticated edges. You can select the size of the fitted sheet when ordering. 

To Earth your Sheet, attach the cord to the connection point on the sheet and insert the plug into a standard UK plug socket. The socket is only used to ground the sheet and it does not use electricity. The socket can therefore be switched off at all times and this will not affect the function or performance. The sheet simply acts as an extension cord, bringing the Earth's energy inside and allowing you to stay grounded while you sleep.

You will still be grounded through clothes/pyjamas if these are made from natural materials such as cotton. The effectiveness of this has been verified with a multimeter device which demonstrates a strong Earth connection is still achieved when the Earthing sheet is fitted underneath a cotton bed sheet, even with an additional layer of clothes/pyjamas before reaching the skin level. 

In addition to this, as you lie on the sheet, the warmth generated by the body tends to create a small amount of moisture and humidity which hydrates the materials and further strengthens the Earth connection.
