Grounding Mat – Midnight Moss

A Grounding Mat, also known as an Earthing Mat, is a conductive mat designed for use while working, sitting, or relaxing. Place it under your feet, on the floor, or on a desk, then connect it to the grounded part of a properly grounded outlet using the included cord and plug. It does not use electricity, and no electricity flows through the mat or your body.

The Grounding mat establish a connection between you and the Earth's electric charge by facilitating the flow of electrons. When your skin makes contact with the Grounding Essentials mat, you become grounded, enabling the transfer of electrons.

The fundamental idea is to create a conductive pathway for electrons to move between your body and the Earth. This connection contribute to equalizing the electric potential of your body with that of the Earth.

No. Grounding Mats do not use electricity and do not consume power. The included grounding cord connects only to the grounding part of your outlet. No electrical current flows through the mat or your body. The mat simply provides a connection to the Earth.

Yes. Grounding Mats are designed for everyday use and connect only to the grounding port of a properly grounded outlet. Grounding Essentials mats include a built-in 98k ohm safety resistor inside the grounding cord, which helps provide additional protection against electrical surges.

For most practical purposes, grounding and earthing mean the same thing, and many people use the terms interchangeably.

That said, some people make a distinction between the two:

• Earthing typically refers to direct physical contact with the Earth, such as walking barefoot on grass, sand, soil, or unsealed natural surfaces.

• Grounding often refers to connecting to the Earth through a conductive product, such as a grounding mat, grounding sheet, or grounding pillowcase.

In both cases, the goal is the same: creating a connection between your body and the Earth's natural electrical charge.

Whether you call it grounding or earthing, both terms describe the practice of reconnecting with the Earth, either directly through skin-to-ground contact or indirectly through a grounding product.

For the strongest grounding connection, direct skin contact is recommended. Many people use the mat with bare feet while sitting, working, or relaxing. Even partial contact can be enough for grounding.

Yes. Grounding Mats are safe for pets to lay on. Pets are naturally grounded when they walk outside, so using a grounding mat indoors can help them stay connected while resting at home.

Many pets may be drawn to the mat because the feeling is familiar and natural. Just make sure they do not chew on the cord or connection point.

Yes, you can use the Grounding Mat with an extension cord, power board, or standard double adapter, as long as it is properly grounded. Make sure it has a third grounding pin, and use an outlet checker if you want to confirm that the grounding connection is working.

Outlet checkers are available as an additional purchase and are not included with the mat.

Everyone is different.

Some people report feeling calmer, more relaxed, or more comfortable within the first few uses. Others notice changes gradually over several weeks of consistent use.

Many users report:

• Feeling calmer and more relaxed
• Greater comfort while sitting, working, or relaxing
• Better recovery after physical activity
• A greater sense of ease during the day

Some people notice changes quickly, while others experience more gradual improvements.

Every person's lifestyle, sleep habits, environment, and overall health are different.

Just as with any wellness routine, individual experiences vary. Consistent use typically provides the best opportunity to notice changes over time.

We recommend using your Grounding Mat consistently for several weeks. Because everyone responds differently, some people notice benefits quickly, while others may need more time. That’s one reason we offer a 100-night risk-free trial.

To help preserve the conductive surface:

Do:

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth
• Use mild soap when needed
• Let it air dry completely before use
• Keep the connection point dry

Avoid:

• Bleach
• Fabric softeners
• Harsh detergents
• Machine washing
• Tumble drying

With proper care, Grounding Mats are designed to last for years. Lifespan can depend on use, care, and overall maintenance. Following the care instructions included with your mat can help keep it working properly for long-term grounding support.

We also recommend using a conductivity tester from time to time to make sure your mat continues to function as intended.

Over time, all conductive materials can experience natural wear. However, Grounding Essentials mats are designed for long-term daily use. Proper care and regular cleaning help maintain conductivity and performance.

The easiest way is to use a conductive tester or socket tester. You can also verify that your outlet is properly grounded using a grounding outlet checker.

Yes.

Many customers use conductivity testers or multimeters to check the connection between the mat and the grounding point. If testing a dry mat, a small amount of moisture on the surface can sometimes help improve conductivity during the test.

If your home does not have a grounded outlet, you can use a grounding rod instead. The grounding rod is placed directly into the Earth outside, then connected to your Grounding Mat using the grounding cord. You can run the cord through a window or under a door.

Grounding rods are available as an additional purchase and are not included with the mat.

Grounding Essentials includes the correct grounding plug based on your country.

We currently offer plug options for:

• Europe (Type E & F)
• United Kingdom & Ireland (Type G)
• Switzerland (Type J)
• Italy (Type L)
• Denmark (Type K)
• USA

If you're unsure which plug to choose, our support team is happy to help.
