Grounding Pillow Cases, Organic Cotton with Silver Threads
Reconnect with the Earth's electrical environment while you sleep, on fabric that's been lab-tested against REACH.
Experience Earthing in Your Own Bed
Modern life physically disconnects us from the Earth's surface. We spend most of our time indoors, insulated by rubber-soled shoes, synthetic carpets, and elevated floors. Grounding, sometimes called earthing, aims to restore this contact. This pillowcase has conductive silver threads woven into organic cotton, creating a pathway to Earth through your home's jordet stikkontakt while you sleep.
A jordingsputetrekk is the practical starting point: your head and face rest against it for 7-8 hours each night, with high nerve density and good skin conductivity. Many people start here before considering a full grounding fitted sheet.
Does grounding actually do anything, or is it just placebo?
The honest answer: the evidence is real but smaller than for red light or blue light glasses. I include it because the mechanism is plausible and the downside is basically zero. Try it for three weeks with an open mind, not blind faith, and judge your own sleep before deciding if it's for you.
🧪 What's been tested, and why it matters here
Your face lies directly on this fabric, warm, for seven or eight hours a night, with your mouth and nose centimetres away. Softness tells you nothing about what finishing chemicals are left in the cotton, so I wanted lab results rather than a promise.
Lab-tested against REACH
REACH is the EU chemicals regulation, and it applies in Norway through the EEA. It restricts hazardous chemicals in products and keeps a candidate list of substances of very high concern (SVHC). This fabric has been lab-tested against REACH requirements, and I keep the test report on file.
Your right to ask
Anyone buying a product in Norway can ask the seller whether it contains more than 0.1% of a substance on that list, and must get an answer within 45 days. That applies to every seller, not just me. I usually answer the same day.

⚡ How Grounding Works
🌍 1. The Earth's Electrical Environment
The Earth's surface carries a mild negative electrical charge. Throughout most of human history, bare skin contact with the ground, walking, sitting, sleeping, provided ongoing exposure to this environment. Modern insulation has removed that contact almost entirely.
🧵 2. Conductive Silver Threads
Pure silver threads woven throughout the organic cotton fabric create a conductive surface. Silver is naturally antimicrobial and highly electrically conductive, making it the material of choice for grounding applications.
🔌 3. Connected to Your Home's Ground
A grounding cord connects the bedding to the ground pin of a standard outlet, not the live or neutral pins. This provides a path to the building's earthing system and from there to the Earth itself, without carrying any electrical current.
💤 4. Contact While You Sleep
With bare skin against the grounded fabric, electrons can transfer. The proposed mechanism is that this reduces the body's positive charge imbalance, with downstream effects on oxidative stress and inflammation. Research into this mechanism is ongoing.
🔬 What the Research Points To
Areas Studied in Grounding Research
😴 Sleep Quality
Some studies have measured improved cortisol rhythms and self-reported sleep quality with consistent grounding. Individual results vary.
🔥 Inflammation Markers
Directional reductions in inflammatory markers in some studies. Particularly relevant for recovery from physical activity.
😌 Cortisol and Stress
Research on earthing has found normalisation of cortisol patterns in some study participants.
🩸 Circulation
Thermographic studies have observed improved peripheral blood flow in some grounding research.
⚡ Energy and Fatigue
Reported by users consistently; formal study data more limited in this area.
🤕 Pain
Some grounding research has measured reduced muscle soreness after exercise and reduced chronic pain. Results are not universal.
📚 Research context: A number of peer-reviewed studies on grounding have been published in journals including the Journal of Inflammation Research and the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The research base is growing but remains smaller than for some established interventions. Results are directionally positive; individual outcomes are not predictable. The practice is low-risk when used as directed.
🇳🇴 Relevance to Norwegian Homes
❄️ Long Winters Indoors
Norwegians spend 6+ months primarily indoors. Walking barefoot outside isn't realistic from October to April. Grounding bedding provides year-round earth contact regardless of weather, the same contact that would otherwise only happen during summer.
🏢 Modern Building Insulation
Norwegian homes are built to high insulation standards, which also means complete electrical isolation from the Earth. Grounding bedding bridges this gap using the building's own earthing system.
🌙 Alongside Circadian Health
Combined with blue light blocking glasses and amber evening lighting, grounding adds a different layer to sleep support, addressing the electrical environment rather than the light environment. The two approaches are complementary and work through different mechanisms.

🔧 Setup and Care
Setting Up
- Place the pillowcase on your pillow as normal
- Connect the snap connector to the conductive tab on the pillowcase
- Plug the cord into a grounded outlet, ground pin only
- Test your outlet (optional socket tester available at hardware stores)
- Sleep with bare skin contact, face, neck or arms against the pillowcase
⚠️ Setup Notes
- Most Norwegian outlets are grounded, and the cord fits a standard jordet stikkontakt
- The cord connects to the ground pin only, it carries no electrical current
- If your outlet isn't grounded, use a grounding rod (jordspyd, available separately)
- Disconnect during thunderstorms as a precaution
Care Instructions
- Wash every 1-2 weeks at maximum 40°C in warm water
- Use mild, natural detergent, no bleach, no fabric softener, no whitening agents (these degrade silver threads)
- Line dry or tumble dry on low, high heat damages the silver
- Do not dry clean, chemicals damage the silver
- Disconnect the cord before washing

Head and facial grounding, this product
Start with one item and add based on your experience. The pillow case is the most practical starting point for most people.
From Dominic
Grounding sits in a different category from the red light panels and glasses, the evidence base is smaller and individual results are harder to predict. I include it because the mechanism is plausible, the risk is essentially zero when used correctly, and a meaningful proportion of people who try it report genuine sleep improvement. The pillow case is the lowest-friction entry point: it's one item, it covers an area with high nerve density, and you don't have to change anything else about how you sleep.
I only stock grounding bedding that's been lab-tested against REACH, because it's the one thing you can't check by feel. Soft cotton tells you nothing about what finishing chemicals are left in it.

❓ Vanlige spørsmål / Common Questions
Hvor lang tid tar det før jeg merker en effekt?
Det varierer mye fra person til person. Noen merker endringer i søvnkvaliteten i løpet av den første uka, for andre tar det flere uker med jevnlig bruk. Forskningen på jording viser effekter på kortisol, betennelsesmarkører og søvn på gruppenivå, men hvordan du selv responderer, kan ikke forutsies. Gi det minst to til tre uker med bruk hver natt før du trekker en konklusjon.
Er jordingsputetrekk trygt å bruke?
Ledningen kobles kun til jordingen i stikkontakten. Den fører ingen strøm, og det er ingen fare for støt. Prinsippet er det samme som å gå barbeint på bakken. Har du et implantert elektrisk apparat, som pacemaker eller insulinpumpe, må du snakke med legen din før bruk. Koble fra ved tordenvær, og ikke bruk putetrekket i våte omgivelser.
How much skin contact is needed?
Any bare skin contact works: feet, legs, arms, or face against the pillowcase. You don't need to sleep without clothes. Even minimal contact allows electron flow. Many people sleep normally in pyjamas with just their arms, face, or feet touching the grounded fabric.
Fungerer dette i norske leiligheter?
Ja. De fleste norske stikkontakter er jordet, og jordingsledningen passer rett i en vanlig jordet stikkontakt. Er du usikker på om akkurat din stikkontakt er jordet, kan du sjekke den med en stikkontakttester fra Clas Ohlson, Biltema eller en jernvarehandel. Et jordspyd i bakken utenfor er et alternativ i eldre bygg.
How do I wash grounding bedding?
Wash every 1-2 weeks in warm water at maximum 40°C. Use mild, natural detergent, no bleach, no fabric softener, no whitening agents. These chemicals degrade the silver threads over time. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean. Disconnect the cord before washing.
Er putetrekket testet for skadelige stoffer?
Ja. Putetrekket er laboratorietestet mot kravene i REACH, EUs kjemikalieregelverk, som også gjelder i Norge. REACH begrenser helse- og miljøfarlige kjemikalier i produkter. Ansiktet ditt ligger mot putetrekket hele natten, så jeg ville ha testresultatene på plass. Spør meg gjerne hvis du lurer på noe om dem.
What is the science behind grounding?
Grounding research proposes that direct contact with the Earth's surface allows transfer of electrons, which may act as antioxidants and reduce oxidative stress. A number of peer-reviewed studies have measured outcomes including inflammation markers, cortisol rhythms, sleep quality, and circulation, with directionally positive findings. The research base is growing but not as extensive as for some other interventions. The mechanism is plausible and the practice is low-risk.
Do I need to ground my entire bed?
No. A pillowcase alone provides grounding through head and facial skin, areas with high nerve density. Many people start with a single pillowcase and add a fitted sheet later. Start where your budget allows and expand based on your experience.
