How To Sleep Grounded With The Earthing Mattress

Grounding while you sleep is one of the easiest, most natural ways to restore balance to your body. By resting on a BeGrounded sleep mat, you’re reconnecting with the Earth’s natural energy every night. Supporting better sleep, reduced stress, and overall wellbeing.

We often hear common questions, like:

  •  Can I wear pyjamas while grounding?
  • Can I use a fitted sheet on top of the mattress cover?
  • Do I need bare skin to feel the benefits?

Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your grounding sleep routine.

 

Do I Need Bare Skin to Be Grounded?

With BeGrounded’s carbon infused mattress covers, bare skin is not required. Unlike silver threaded cotton sheets that wear out over time and only work with direct skin contact, our covers are designed to ground you even through a regular cotton sheet.

That said, the more bare skin you have touching the cover (or the sheet above it), the stronger and faster the connection will be. Your body’s natural moisture creates a conductive pathway that allows the Earth’s free electrons to flow into you while you sleep.

 

Can I Wear Pyjamas?

Yes, you can absolutely wear pyjamas while sleeping grounded. For best results:

  • Choose natural fibres such as cotton or bamboo.
  • Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester, which block conductivity.

Tip: If you’re layering up for warmth, keep some bare skin (like your legs or arms) in contact with the sheet to ensure grounding continues throughout the night.

 

Using a Fitted Sheet with the Mattress Cover

One of the biggest advantages of BeGrounded sleep mats is that you don’t need to sleep directly on them. You can place a fitted cotton sheet over the mattress cover, and still benefit from grounding.

Best options for fitted sheets:

  • 100% cotton (organic or standard)
  • 100% bamboo
  • Cotton bamboo blends

Avoid: Synthetic sheets such as polyester or microfibre, as they block conductivity.

 

What About Socks?

Your feet are highly conductive, so sleeping barefoot is a great way to stay grounded. But if you like wearing socks:

  • Choose cotton or bamboo socks, and you’ll still be grounded through the fitted sheet
  • For optimal results ensure there is an area of bare skin (like arms or legs) in contact with the cotton sheet – so there is only one cotton layer between you and the mattress cover
  • Avoid synthetic socks that block conductivity.

 

Hydration Matters

Because the human body is mostly water, hydration improves how effectively grounding works. Staying well hydrated allows electrons to move through your body more efficiently, enhancing the benefits of grounding during sleep.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Bare skin is always best, but BeGrounded Sleep Mats work perfectly under a cotton sheet.
  • For optimal grounding results keep to one cotton or bamboo layer between you and the mattress cover (whether that is a sheet or pyjamas).
  • Natural fibres only—choose cotton or bamboo for pyjamas and sheets.
  • Avoid synthetics like polyester and microfibre.
  • Hydrate well to maximise conductivity.
  • Relax—grounding works effortlessly while you sleep.

 

Why Choose BeGrounded Mattress Covers?

Unlike silver threaded earthing sheets that wear out, lose conductivity, and require direct skin contact, BeGrounded covers are:

  • Carbon infused for long lasting durability.
  • Low maintenance—simply place under your regular cotton sheet.
  • Comfortable and discreet—you won’t even notice it’s there.
  • Effective without bare skin contact, making grounding easier and more natural.

Grounding during sleep is the simplest way to stay connected to the Earth’s energy. Just lie down, rest, and let your BeGrounded Mattress Cover do the work—every single night.
