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 Earth the sheet and it does not use electricity. The socket can therefore be switched off at all times and this will not affect the performance. The Rowland Earthing 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.

A common misconception about Earthing technology is that when you ground yourself indoors by connecting to a mains plug socket, “dirty electricity” comes through the cord to the Earthing sheet, and through your body. However, this would be impossible as there can be no current on Earthing products connected to a plug socket because they are connected to one Earth point only, and not part of a closed circuit necessary for a current to flow. No “dirty electricity” can flow through the Earthing sheet, and then through the body because you are not part of a closed DC circuit.

As long as the washing and care instructions are followed correctly, the sheet should have no problem lasting up to three years or more. Sweat and natural skin oils can sometimes tarnish the silver over time, reducing the conductivity. However, much of 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.

No, it is important to recognise that the Earthing sheet does not run on electricity, nor does it even come into contact with electricity. The plug is designed only to connect to the earth point of the socket and is not connected to the live electrical ports. It simply acts as an extension cord, bringing the Earth's energy inside and allowing you to stay grounded while you sleep. The cord also contains a 100k ohm resistor to protect against any Earth faults.

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.

The effectiveness of this can be 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, as you lie on the covering sheet, perspiration and environmental humidity will hydrate your sheet which further strengthens the Earth connection.

Fitting the Earthing Sheet underneath your current bed sheet helps to prolong the life span, reduces the need for washing, and can help keep the Earthing Sheet in place.

When using the Earthing sheet underneath a partially synthetic covering sheet, such as cotton with polyester, in general, the Earth connection is only slightly reduced and still provides sufficient Earthing for the body. However, if you wish to test this yourself to ensure the Earth connection is not being blocked, we are happy to recommend a brand of conductivity tester.

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.

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 of Earthing. 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.

It is also 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.

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.

Throughout most of history we walked barefoot and slept on the ground. We were directly connected to the Earth almost 24/7. That’s what our bodies are used to. The combination of insulative shoes and elevated beds has separated us from the natural electric frequencies of the Earth.

We believe this separation is unnatural and there can be no such thing as too much Earthing. When we connect to the Earth, the amount of electrons we absorb is driven by the amount our body needs to balance the electrical charge of our body. It is always the perfect amount.

Yes, the Earthing sheet is safe for people with pacemakers.
