A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

Grounding sheets are a difficult product to manufacture if long functional durability is desired. It all started with Clint Ober in the USA who developed his first cotton sheet with 3% untreated silver thread for use in research. Everyone who participated in the research studies wanted to keep their sheets after the study was completed. Their family and friends who learned of the often spectacular results of the research also wanted the sheets, so eventually Clint Ober started manufacturing these sheets for sale and his company in the USA started up even though he was retired.

Earthingpeople (formerly The Seeing Eye) started in the spring of 2011, a few years after Earthing in the USA, when I, Anders Blomqvist, got my life back thanks to earthing with the help of one of Clint Ober's sheets. It was about many years of health problems due to mercury poisoning from a large number of amalgam fillings. Severe pain and stiffness in the body prevented morning yoga, extreme susceptibility to infection created major problems, fatigue and pollen allergy bothered me, but despite the removal of all fillings in 2006–07 and 6 years of detoxification, I was at rock bottom.

The first night on the grounding sheet I slept 12 hours without waking up and it continued. In two weeks 80% of the stiffness and pain disappeared as well as the pollen allergy. I decided to import and resell their products with the goal of helping other people achieve better health and to spread information about how important grounding is for all the functions of the body and an effective immune system.

Clint Ober's sheets worked perfectly at first. Customers reported amazing improvements in their lives, everyone was happy, but after a year, the weaknesses in its construction began to show. In some people, the silver threads oxidized very quickly and sometimes the contact between the rubber patch with the snap and the sheet disappeared. The problems were reported but the manufacturer did nothing about it.

When the quality of their sheets deteriorated and they developed large holes in the fabric within a year of use, it was time to leave Earthing.com and try to find someone who made good quality. This was in 2016, after 5 years of using Earthing products. A search that led to Australia and the company Better Earthing.

2016. EVOLUTION GROUNDING SHEET WITH 50% SILVER WIRE

A sheet with 50% silver thread and 50% Tencel was purchased from Australia and after a testing period it was obvious – time to start a collaboration. Now all our products are manufactured by Better Earthing, a company that works with the goal of manufacturing the best earthing products on the market.

At the same time as we changed suppliers, Earthing in the US stopped manufacturing grounding sheets and Chinese pirated copies of their cotton sheets with 3% to 10% silver wire began to appear. Identical copies with the same problems as the original sheets – oxidation of untreated silver wire and poor contact between the rubber patch and the sheet.

If you have such a sheet, it is important to check the conductivity with a product tester or multimeter after each wash. Measure between the push button and the wires in the middle of the sheet where you lie. Also test the cords as they often stop working. We received deliveries from Earthing.com where 20% of the cords did not work, precisely because they were cheap junk cords from China.

To avoid the problem of bad cables, we pay more for good quality. We use a stronger 10 mm push button that fits much better. At the other end, we use 4 mm female and male connectors, which are industry standard. The cables are reinforced with extra metal where the copper wires meet the connectors. All Earthing products in the USA and all Chinese pirated copies use 4 mm push button and 4.7 mm male and female connectors.

2020. PREMIUM EARTHING SHEET WITH 20% STAINLESS FIBER

We raised the bar even further in 2020 with the new Premium series, which features solid surgical stainless steel fiber instead of silver. Our product developers in Australia have worked hard for over two years to develop a fabric with continuous, solid stainless steel fiber.

As a core, we continued to use Tencel, which is one of the most environmentally friendly threads on the market, made from FSA-certified forests in closed systems. To make the sheets as antibacterial as our silver sheets, we have included 10% antibacterial mineral fiber from Germany.

The fabric is certified by Intertek Global to kill MSRA bacteria by 99.94% in laboratory tests, something that cheap sheets with 3–10% silver thread can never achieve.

The patented Earthshield material was developed to avoid the problems of silver thread. These sheets should be placed under your regular bottom sheet, just like our Evolution Silver Sheets. The sheets require sheet tensioners to keep them flat.

Unlike sheets with silver thread, you don't have to worry about a reduction or loss of conductivity from various ingredients in skin care products, face creams, oils, magnesium oil, sulfur in sweat, skin and hair oils, bleach, white detergent or other potentially silver-destroying substances.

We provide a 5-year warranty on our original Premium grounding sheets, provided that our care instructions have been followed. The warranty covers any manufacturing defects and the function of your sheet. If you have any questions – please contact us. If your sheet sticks, please contact us for a replacement.

2022. PREMIUM v2 GROUNDING SHEET WITH 30% STAINLESS FIBER, COTTON AND POLYESTER

The development of new fabrics continues and in December 2022 the latest fabric to make grounded sheets was released. Premium v2 is a heavy canvas-like fabric with 30% medical-grade stainless steel fibers. These sheets do not require sheet tensioners which some customers found to be cumbersome to attach.

Especially the elderly and people with back pain would prefer a sheet that is easy to put on the bed, so we have now expanded the range with universal sheets and many different sizes of fitted sheets from 80 to 180 cm wide, as well as pillowcases.

These sheets are easy to care for and are not sensitive to sulfur in sweat and skin oil, chemicals in skin creams or different types of detergents. Think of them as a thin mattress pad that only needs to be washed 2–3 times a year.

These sheets are fine to sleep on directly, but the fabric is a bit rough at first, so we recommend that you rest your legs on the sheet directly and that you wear a pajama top or a regular sheet under your back for maximum comfort if you use a fitted sheet.

If you have the universal sheet, place it across the bottom of the bed so that your legs rest directly on the sheet. If you want to use a regular cotton sheet on top, place it either across the middle of the bed or lengthwise.

Premium v2+ sheets can be washed with colored or white detergent as a delicate wash at 30–60 degrees. Spin at the lowest speed and then hang to dry. They are easy to iron on a synthetic setting.

We have tested a similar material daily for 7 years, woven according to the same principle, and it is still conductive and fine, so we dare to say that we now have the world's longest-lasting grounded sheets.

2024. PREMIUM v2+ GROUNDING SHEET WITH 35% STAINLESS FIBER AND TENCEL

After another 2 years of development work by our producer in Australia, we have now developed a new variant of the incredibly effective and durable Premium v2 fabric, which we have chosen to call v2+, as it is based on the same spinning and weaving technology.

The difference is that we have managed to replace cotton and polyester with environmentally friendly Tencel instead. It contains 35% surgical steel fibers and 65% Tencel, of which about 10% is treated with zinc which makes the fabric antibacterial.

Due to the unique properties of Tencel, the fabric feels very soft and comfortable. These sheets breathe very well and it feels like the development work is complete when it comes to quality fabric for grounding sheets. The fabric is patented.
