Earthing mats -also known as grounding mats- are flat, conductive devices that you sit, stand or recline on when indoors in order to absorb Earth’s natural electron flow.

As substitutes for being barefoot outdoors, Earthing mats are especially useful when it’s prohibitively cold, hot or rainy outside. They can also help you achieve your desired grounding time when your ability to ground outdoors is limited.

Having an Earthing mat at home and/or work can help you stay connected to Earth’s energy or frequency, and ultimately access grounding benefits.

If you’re new to indoor grounding, we’ve posted some common questions with answers below. Alternately, skip directly to the grounding mats we recommend for home and office use>.

Comfortable, durable, and versatile, the Earthing Universal Mat is a 12.5-inch by 29-inch (32 x 72.7 cm) conductive mat you stand, sit or lay on. This bestselling grounding mat kit offers numerous ways to ground indoors:

• Feet can be placed on mat to absorb Earth energy while sitting at home or work - in a chair or on the couch.

• Hands or elbows can rest on mat at a table or desk (for example, under a laptop or keyboard).

• Lay on it to target specific areas like the low back or ankles; makes a great sleep system substitute while traveling.

• You can use it to test how you’d feel sleeping grounded before purchasing an Earthing Sleep System.

• Stand on it while preparing food or washing dishes in the kitchen.

Measuring 21” x 31”, this grounding mat is wider and more cushioned than the Universal Mat, yet equally as versatile. At 3mm thick, it also provides more comfort when standing or sitting for long periods.

Use it when at a desk, standing in the kitchen or bathroom, or while sitting on the couch. Some people like to sit directly on it, while others use it under their feet. You can even nap or sleep on it!

Like the Universal Earthing Mat, this Floor Mat packs easily and makes grounding when traveling a breeze.

Kit comes with 1 Earthing Floor Mat, 1 Earthing Coil Cord (15ft long), 1 U.S. Outlet Checker, and 1 U.S. Safety Adapter.

EARTHING MATS FOR YOGA, MEDITATION, WORKING OUT AND MORE

Yes, you can now take your yoga or meditation practice to a new level of relaxation and mind-body harmony with Earthing’s grounded yoga mat!

From the warrior trio and downward dog, to tree, eagle and mountain pose, you can breathe into your favorite poses while absorbing natural Earth energy through a densely cushioned (3.5 mm) Earthing Yoga Mat.

Earthing offers two 26” x 71” yoga mats - one for indoor use and one for indoor/outdoor use. The indoor mat is conductive one one side only, while both sides of the indoor/outdoor mat are conductive, which means you can use it anywhere on grass, dirt or unpainted concrete without needing to plug in.

Like the Floor Mat, the Earthing Yoga Mat is a comfy 3mm thick.

This mini grounding mat two-pack is designed specifically for grounded sitting, though you could also use it to nap or sleep on. Each mat is approximately 12” x 12.”

Direct skin contact is always best with these grounding mats, so we recommend wearing something that allows for that when using them - like a skirt or shorts.

Each kit comes with:

- 2 Earthing Chair Mats (Dimensions: Top: 11 x 12in | Bottom: 12 x 12in)
- 2 Coil Cords (Length: 15ft each)
- 2 U.S. Safety Adapters
- 1 U.S. Outlet Checker

“There’s a reason the Earthing Yoga Mat is listed first in our Holiday Gift Guide: Top 10 Grounding Gifts…It’s awesome!

I (Marchann) bought this (indoor) grounded yoga mat for myself, only to have my kids and pets hijack it. We collectively use it for stretching, yoga, dance, acrobatics, strength training and even chi exercises, and I’ve felt more relaxed and energized than usual when on it, and knowing this, I’m more motivated to do yoga, stretch and strengthen more often.

Although it’s not grippy like traditional yoga mats, the Earthing Yoga Mat isn’t slippery either. Thankfully, its smooth surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth - something we need to do often with so many feet and paws on this grounded mat!

For yoga or fitness enthusiasts, this grounded yoga mat can make a game-changing addition to your exercise or rec room.”

If your home or office is grounded, the electrical outlets will have three holes; ungrounded homes have outlets with just two slots to plug into. The lower center hole is the ground port, which connects to the wire which grounds your home.

When you plug a grounding mat into the ground port of an electrical outlet, you connect it to the Earth’s natural, electromagnetic energy, which is conducted through your home’s ground wire. You are not tapping into the electricity of your home. All Earthing products which plug into a grounding port utilize this means of conducting Earth energy into your body.

When you order a grounding mat, Earthing with send you a kit that contains an Outlet Checker, Safety Adaptor, and a cord which you snap onto your grounding mat and plug the other end into a ground port.

To make sure the outlet you’re plugging into will connect you to Earth energy, plug the Outlet Checker into it. If both lights on the right hand side light up, you’re good to ground through it. If you see something else, test additional outlets until you find one that shows correct ground conductivity.

Earthing also recommends using the Safety Adaptor if you are plugging in two grounding devices into the same outlet, or if you otherwise need an adaptor - learn more at Earthing Institute.

If you do not have grounded outlets or prefer not to use the outlet, a simple Earthing® Ground Rod (see nearby slideshow) can be used.

Earthing also offers a Product Tester Kit, which you can purchase separately (it is not included with grounding mat kits). This kit will give you further proof that your Earthing Universal or Yoga mat effectively conducts Earth energy. After testing your outlet and plugging your mat or other Earthing device into the ground port, you firmly place the Tester onto the conductive surface of your grounding mat. Next, press down on the PRESS button. A solid green light indicates your product is conductive and will ground you.

The grounding mats shown above can also serve as alternate solutions to help your pets absorb Earth’s natural energy while indoors.

A cat or small dog, for example, could easily ground atop a Universal Mat, which is 12.5” x 29,” while a 21” x 31” Floor Mat may be better for a medium-sized dog. A larger dog may enjoy a grounded yoga mat, which is 26” x 71”.

In our experience (with both cats and dogs), pets tend to want to spread out on the mats that we, ourselves use. Whether it’s your scent that attracts them, or they’re “claiming your territory,” your furry friends may also want to lay on it with you (this is March’s usual experience with the Earthing Yoga Mat and Mattress Cover).

We’ve found that most, but not all, pets will gravitate toward grounding devices. Hence, we recommend testing whether your pet likes to sit or lay on a grounding device you use before purchasing one specifically for them. Place your grounding mat atop their bed, for example, or on a chair or the floor - wherever they would most likely curl up…See if they lay on it for a while.
