FAQ
What is grounding (earthing)?
Grounding, also called earthing, is the practice of connecting your body to the Earth’s natural energy. This can be done outdoors by walking barefoot, or indoors using grounding products connected to a grounded outlet.
How does SimplyEarthing actually work?
SimplyEarthing products connect to the Earth’s ground through a properly grounded outlet or grounding rod, allowing your body to equalise with the Earth’s natural charge while you rest or sleep.
Does the mat use electricity?
No. SimplyEarthing products do not generate or use electricity. They only connect to the grounding portion of an outlet, similar to how a surge protector works.
Is it safe to use while sleeping?
Yes. Our products are designed for overnight use and contain no active electrical components. They are safe for regular daily and nightly use.
Can I use SimplyEarthing in an apartment or rental?
Yes. As long as your outlet is properly grounded, SimplyEarthing works in apartments, houses, and rentals. No permanent installation is required.
How do I know if my outlet is grounded?
You can use an outlet tester or a multimeter to confirm grounding. Many customers also test the mat itself with a multimeter to verify conductivity.
Can I test the mat with a multimeter?
Yes. Simply place one probe on the mat and the other on a grounded surface. Many users do this to confirm the mat is conducting properly.
What materials are used in SimplyEarthing mats?
Our mats are made with conductive carbon-infused materials layered with durable, skin-safe surfaces designed for comfort and long-term use.
Do I need direct skin contact?
Direct skin contact provides the strongest connection, but grounding can still occur through thin clothing or bedsheets.
How long should I use it each day?
Many people use SimplyEarthing for 30 minutes to several hours daily. Overnight use is common and convenient.
Will it work if I wear socks or pajamas?
Yes, though thinner fabrics allow better conductivity. Bare skin contact offers the most noticeable experience.
Does SimplyEarthing help with EMFs?
SimplyEarthing does not block or emit EMFs. It connects your body to the Earth’s natural ground, which some users find helpful in modern indoor environments.
Can pets use grounding mats?
Yes. Many customers place grounding mats where pets sleep or rest.
How do I clean the mat?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
How long do the mats last?
With normal use and care, SimplyEarthing mats are designed to last for years without losing conductivity.
Is SimplyEarthing a medical device?
No. SimplyEarthing products are wellness products and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.
Can children use grounding products?
Yes, under adult supervision, as long as the product is used as directed.
Why might I not feel anything at first?
Some people feel effects immediately, while others notice changes gradually over time. Sensitivity varies from person to person.
What’s the difference between grounding and earthing?
They refer to the same concept. “Earthing” is commonly used in wellness discussions, while “grounding” is the technical term.
Do I need to be barefoot outdoors if I use SimplyEarthing?
No. SimplyEarthing provides a convenient indoor alternative when outdoor grounding isn’t practical.
