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.

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.

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.

Yes, an electric blanket works fine with the Rowland Earthing Sheet, just make sure the Earthing sheet goes on top of your electric blanket in order to achieve the full grounding effect.

We believe we are the only company offering (GOTS) 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 claims. 

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.

As long as your Earthing sheet is connected to a correctly wired plug socket, your sheet will be grounded and you will be receiving the benefits. You can also check this with a conductivity tester to confirm that your body is Earthed when in contact with the sheet.

There is some confusion surrounding the topic of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and Earthing.  Some people are afraid that their Earthing sheet will attract EMF frequencies like an Antenna. However, this would be impossible because in order for an antenna to work, it cannot be grounded. Whenever you are grounded, your skin effectively produces a ‘faraday cage’ effect and will repel electromagnetic fields (EMFs) coming from the external environment. This effect can be demonstrated with a quick multimeter test measuring body voltage before and after touching the Earthed surface.

This is also known as the “umbrella effect”, discovered by Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman. Feynman explains; when the body’s potential is the same as the Earth’s electric potential (and thus grounded), it becomes an extension of the Earth’s gigantic electric system. The Earth’s potential thus becomes the “working agent that cancels, reduces, or pushes away electric fields from the body.”

In addition, it is not possible for EMFs to be ‘pulled’ or ‘attracted’ as EMFs do not have electric charges. They cannot be attracted to anything. They simply radiate outward to infinity from an emitting source, such as electric wires, appliances, and phone masts. For a more detailed explanation, here is a useful resource from the Official Earthing Institute: http://www.earthinginstitute.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/beware-of-earthing-misinformation-2018.pdf

Yes. As long as the socket and the extension both have an Earth connection (the third hole), then you can Earth the sheet via an extension lead.

Before modern civilisation and synthetic footwear, we were in almost constant connection with the Earth. This was our natural state!

Unfortunately, modern living has mostly isolated us from our electrical connection with the Earth. Everything from wearing rubber soled shoes to the use of synthetic flooring materials, all block our ability to Earth.

We believe this disconnect is one of the key contributing factors that has led to the increase in chronic diseases we see today.

When we connect to the Earth, the amount of electrons we absorb is driven by the amount needed to balance the electrical charge of the body. It is always the perfect amount.
