Due to the growing popularity of these products, there are now imitations and counterfeits appearing on the market.  Everything here is a genuine Earthing™ or Groundology™ product.  Please be aware that official distributors are not permitted to sell on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, and so products sold there are not likely to be genuine.

SoftSilver™ sheet, 50x260cm

SoftSilver™ sheet, 50x260cm SoftSilver™ sheet, 50x260cm
  • Highly effective at grounding the body.
  • EMF shielding against high frequency EMFs.
  • Strong anti-bacterial properties.
SoftSilver™ sheets are the latest grounded sleep technology, the culmination of years of product development.  This special fabric is woven entirely from ultra-fine silver thread.  It feels silky soft to touch, is highly conductive and offers improved EMF shielding compared with conventional earthing/grounding products.

While grounding the body in any way greatly reduces the effects of low frequency EMFs (such as from mains electricity and domestic appliances), the continuous silver of the SoftSilver™ products means that they also block high frequency EMFs (such as WiFi and 5G) much more effectively than other grounding products.

Longevity is also significantly improved compared with a conventional earthing/grounding sheet.  The SoftSilver™ sheets will remain effective at least twice as long given the same usage and care (see below for recommended washing and care instructions).

Because of the very high conductivity, the SoftSilver™ sheets can provide an excellent grounding connection even through a covering sheet. This allows the use of a more cost-effective, smaller size sheet.  Using under a covering sheet will also further improve the longevity.

Alternatively it can be used as a bottom sheet or top sheet with direct body contact, wrapped around the whole body, or used to treat a specific area of the body.

See the sizing table for further suggested uses.

The product set includes everything you need for use: the SoftSilver™ sheet, a 4.6m (15ft) connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection.

Washing and care instructions


Please note: Due to the nature of silver, the SoftSilver™ products may show some discolouration after long-term use and washing.  This does not affect the functionality of the product.  We cannot accept returns because of discolouration of the silver as this is simply the nature of the material.

It is good to wash your grounding product.  It will not be harmed by washing, in fact it is beneficial.  Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive.

DOs
    Wash every week or two
    Wash in a washing machine with warm water (40°C / 105°F)
    Use a liquid laundry detergent (this detergent is our specific recommendation)
    Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C / 150°F)
    Can be ironed on a low heat if desired

DON'Ts
    Don't wash with bleach
    Don't wash with fabric softeners
    Don't use whitening detergents, oxi-detergents
    Don't use detergents with strong fragrances (either chemical or essential oil based)
    Don't use dryer sheet fabric softeners
    Don't dry clean

Bleach, lotions and oils can tarnish the silver rendering it non-conductive.  Fabric softener builds up on the silver and will eventually ruin its conductive properties.  Please also check/clean the detergent drawer of your washing machine for residues of other detergents, since many detergents (particularly powders) contain whitening agents which will harm the silver, even in small quantities.

It is advised to wait one hour to use the product after applying oils or lotions to the skin.

Connection for North America

The supplied cord fits directly into the 'Ground' pin of a North American type socket, used in Canada, the United States and Mexico.  It can also be used in Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan and Taiwan.

Since it is not uncommon for sockets of this type to be missing an Earth connection, this connection option includes a socket tester to verify correct socket wiring. You only need 1 tester per household, so you can choose the "without connection plug" option if you order additional products.

Note that not all outlet sockets of this type have a 3rd pin for Ground.  Sockets with only 2 pins cannot be used for grounding, and so a grounding rod must be used instead.

Grounding rod kit

If you don't have a properly earthed mains outlet (for example some European houses or a pre-1960s house in the United States), then you can instead use a grounding rod kit to make a connection directly with the ground outside.

The kit consists of a 0.3m (1ft) stainless steel rod with a 12m (40ft) cord.  The rod is pushed into the ground outside, which makes a good electrical connection to the Earth.  The cord is only 2mm in diameter so it can usually be run through the edge of a window frame with the window closed.
