Earthing sleep mats
Because of the large area of body contact, the sleep mats provide an excellent grounding connection even through the covering sheet.
In tests, we found that after 30 minutes* in bed, the body voltage level was reduced to a similar level as when having direct skin contact with a conventional Earthing sheet.
* It takes a short time for the full conductivity to develop, once low levels of moisture from perspiration are present in the covering sheet.
The big advantage of a sleep mat over an Earthing sheet is the longevity. Because they are carbon based, rather than silver, they do not oxidise over time, and because the surface is protected under a covering sheet, wear from abrasion is minimal. It also allows the possibility of a colour coordinated bed sheet, something which isn't possible with an Earthing sheet.
Note however that if you tend to wear bed clothes and would have minimal bare skin contact, then an Earthing sheet will be more effective.
Composition
The conductive material is made of PU (Polyurethane) leather, infused with carbon*, on a polyester/cotton cloth base material. The PU Leather is vinyl free, phthalate free, and vegan-friendly.
* The carbon is what conducts the Earth's energy.
The mat is perforated to make it breathable, and is edged with polyester with black elastic straps.
Comes complete with a 4.6m (15ft) connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection.
Fitting
The smooth / leatherette side of the sleep mat is placed upwards. They have black elastic straps to hold them securely in place on the mattress. There are two sizes available. Please refer to the table below for the recommended size for your mattress:

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, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.
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.
Worldwide adapter set
The worldwide adapter set is suitable for use in most countries around the world. It covers the following socket types:
UK: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brunei, Cyprus, Ghana, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Iraq, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, UAE, Uganda, United Kingdom, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
US: United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.
Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Uruguay.
Australasia: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Argentina and Papua New Guinea.
Switzerland, Italy, Brazil and USA.
If you have any doubt about whether your mains system is properly earthed, and especially when travelling, we advise using a socket tester to check. The Socket tester (Europe) can be used with this adapter set to test any socket.
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.
