Why Napa Neutral Makes the World's Best Grounding Products
What makes Napa Neutral better than other grounding brands?
We started Napa Neutral because we couldn’t find grounding products that met the standards we believe people deserve. So we decided to make our own, with extra care in every detail.
GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton
Our bed sheets are made using 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, ensuring safe skin contact, ethical sourcing, and premium material quality.
High-Density Fine Silver Weave (10× more contact)
Unlike bulky mesh grids, we use ultra-fine silver threads woven directly into the cotton. This delivers over 10× more skin contact area than traditional designs, providing smooth, even conductivity with no gaps, no dead zones, and no interruptions.
Premium Materials & Build
Every mat and sheet is engineered for long-term daily use, reinforced with durable stitching. Our grounding cords are crafted with braided rope instead of plastic, making them significantly stronger and far less likely to break or fray.
Hand-Checked Quality
We personally inspect every product before it ships. If it’s not perfect, it doesn’t leave our studio.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Wellness should be kind to the planet. That’s why our packaging is plastic-free and fully recyclable.
There are other grounding options, but if you’re looking for products engineered with precision, built to last, and designed to feel beautiful in your home, Napa Neutral is for you!
How is Napa Neutral different from the cheaper ones on Amazon?
Cheaper grounding products are built to hit a low price point. Ours are built to deliver real results. While most Amazon options rely on synthetic fabrics, metal patches, or printed coatings that only work where your skin directly touches, Napa Neutral uses 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton with a finely woven pure silver thread structure, giving you over 10× more skin contact area for smoother, uninterrupted grounding. We also use reinforced braided cords and hand-check every product, so it performs consistently and lasts far longer.
In short, if you’re comparing price alone, there are cheaper options. If you’re comparing effectiveness, safety, and daily comfort, Napa Neutral stands in a different category entirely.
Are your grounding products actually effective? How do I know they work?
Our grounding mats and sheets are designed to help your body reconnect with the Earth’s natural electrical field. When used consistently (ideally every night while you sleep), many people begin to notice subtle shifts like feeling calmer, sleeping more deeply, or waking up less tense. For some, these changes appear within a few days, while others notice a gradual difference over several weeks. Just like any wellness practice, consistency matters.
If you’d like to see proof that it’s working, you can easily test it at home:
With a multimeter (set to AC): When you touch the sheet or mat while connected to a grounded outlet, you’ll see your body voltage drop, this confirms grounding is taking place.
With a continuity tester: When pressed against the grounded surface, the device will light or beep to show proper conductivity.
We design our products to integrate naturally into your daily routine, so once it’s in place, you simply rest, relax, and let nature do the work!
General Grounding Product Questions
How do I know if my outlet is grounded?
The easiest way to check if your outlet is grounded is to use a ground outlet tester, which you can find online or at most hardware stores. Plug it into the outlet, and the lights will indicate whether it’s properly grounded. It only takes a few seconds and gives you peace of mind.
If you already own a multimeter, you can also test it manually by measuring the voltage between the hot and ground slots. However, for most people, the outlet tester is the quickest and most reliable option.
If you're unsure or live in an older home, we always recommend checking with an electrician. A grounded outlet is essential for any grounding product to work safely and effectively.
How do I test my grounding products to see if it works?
The most common way to test your grounding mat or product is by using a multimeter or a continuity tester.
If you have a multimeter, you can measure your body voltage before and after touching the mat. Here’s how:
- Plug your mat into a grounded outlet.
- Set the multimeter to AC voltage.
- Place the black probe into the ground slot of your outlet or touch it to a grounded surface.
- Hold the red probe between your fingers to measure the voltage on your body.
- First, take a reading without touching the mat. Then, take another while your bare skin is touching the mat.
If the grounding mat is working, your body voltage should drop significantly when you're touching it. That drop confirms your body is connected to the Earth’s electrical field through the mat.
Alternatively, a continuity tester will light up or beep when the mat is properly connected and conductive. It's a quick and simple way to check.
Do your grounding products emit EMF?
No, our grounding products (both mats and sheets) do not emit any EMF. In fact, they are designed to help your body feel less affected by the electromagnetic fields you’re already surrounded by every day.
They connect only to the ground port of your outlet, which is separate from the electrical current. That means no electricity flows into the product. You’re simply tapping into the Earth’s natural grounding energy through your home’s existing system.
Many people like to place the mat under their laptop or feet while they work, to help counteract the effects of long hours around electronics. Others use our grounding sheet at night so their body can naturally rebalance while they sleep.
It’s a gentle, supportive practice. Nothing added, nothing forced. Just nature doing what it’s meant to do.
Can I still use this if I have a pacemaker or metal implants?
Yes, grounding is safe to use if you have metal implants such as screws, plates, or joint replacements. It’s also safe for many people with pacemakers. Grounding products do not run on electricity, they simply connect your body to the Earth’s natural energy through the ground port in your outlet. There is no current entering your body, only a transfer of free electrons that helps rebalance your system.
Because grounding does not interfere with electrical implants, most people find it completely safe and supportive. That said, if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or any device that helps regulate your heart or nervous system, we always recommend checking with your doctor first, just to be sure it’s a good fit for your specific health needs.
Will your grounding products work if I live in an apartment?
Yes, they absolutely work in apartments! As long as your outlet is grounded, which most are in modern buildings, our products will function exactly as intended. You can enjoy all the benefits of grounding right from your apartment, no backyard or special setup needed.
Napa Neutral Grounding Mat Questions
How often should I use my grounding mat?
As often as you can. Daily use is best, even if it's just 30 minutes while you're working, relaxing, or sleeping. The more consistently you use it, the more benefits you may notice over time, like better sleep, reduced stress, and faster recovery.
There’s no such thing as too much grounding. Your body was designed to stay connected to the Earth, and our mat helps make that possible every day.
Do I need to be barefoot for it to work? Can I use it with socks?
Bare skin contact is best for the strongest connection, but thin cotton socks will still work, just with slightly less conductivity. If you're relaxing or working with your feet or hands directly on the mat, you'll still receive grounding benefits.
For the most effective results, we recommend some direct skin contact each day, even just for 30 minutes. That’s when you’ll get the clearest connection to the Earth’s energy.
Can I use other parts of my body besides my feet to contact the mat?
Yes, absolutely. Any bare skin can make effective contact with the grounding mat. You can rest your hands, forearms, legs, or even lie on it, whatever feels most natural and comfortable. As long as your skin is touching the conductive surface, your body will be grounded.
One of our favorite ways to use it is by placing the mat under a laptop and resting our arms on it while working. It's a simple way to stay grounded during busy hours at your desk. Whether you use it under your feet, on a chair, or across your workspace, the mat is designed to support you wherever and however you need it.
What are Napa Neutral Grounding Mats made from?
Napa Neutral grounding mats are made from premium, long-lasting materials chosen for both performance and comfort.
- The top layer is made from high-quality conductive carbon fiber, which allows for a strong and consistent grounding connection.
- Beneath that is a soft vegan leather cushion, made from polyurethane, for comfort and durability.
- The bottom layer is made from natural rubber, which provides a stable, non-slip grip to keep your mat in place.
Every element is carefully selected to create a grounding mat that’s effective, comfortable to use daily, and built to last.
How do I clean and care for the Napa Neutral Grounding Mat?
Keeping your grounding mat clean is simple. Just wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with water. For a deeper clean, you can add a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based products, or anything abrasive, as these can damage the conductive surface.
Let the mat air dry completely before using it again.
To keep it in great condition, store it flat or rolled up and avoid folding it sharply.
With regular care, your Napa Neutral mat will stay clean, comfortable, and effective for years to come.
Can I sleep on it all night?
Yes, you can sleep on your grounding mat all night. In fact, overnight use allows your body to stay connected to the Earth’s natural energy for hours at a time, which can support deeper sleep, lower stress, and better recovery.
For even more comfort while you rest, we’re excited to be launching the world’s highest-quality grounding sheets, made with organic cotton and a high density of pure silver. These are designed specifically for overnight use and will offer a full-body grounding experience while you sleep.
Until then, we recommend using your mat during the day, under your feet while you work or relax, and switching to our grounding sheets at night once they’re available. Your body will thank you.
When and where should I use the mat?
You can use your grounding mat anytime you're sitting, standing, or resting indoors. It's designed to easily fit into your daily routine, whether you're working at a desk, relaxing on the couch, meditating, or even lying down.
Some of our favorite ways to use it include:
- Under your desk while working
- On the couch with your legs or feet resting on it
- Beneath your laptop so your forearms stay grounded as you type
- On your bed or yoga mat during stretching or relaxation
The more consistently you use it, the better. Even just 30 minutes a day can make a difference, and there’s no limit to how long you can use it. Many people keep it in a spot where it becomes part of their everyday flow.
Is the Napa Neutral Grounding Mat safe for my dog?
Yes, the Napa Neutral Grounding Mat is safe for pets, including dogs. Just like humans, animals can benefit from grounding too. Many dogs naturally love resting on the mat because they’re drawn to its calming effect.
The mat does not use any electricity, it simply connects to the Earth’s natural energy through the ground port of your outlet, making it completely safe for everyday use around pets.
If your dog enjoys lying on it, that’s a great sign. They know a good thing when they feel it.
Grounding Strip & Fitted Bed Sheet Questions
What exactly are grounding sheets and how do they work?
Grounding sheets allow your body to reconnect with the Earth’s natural electrical field while you sleep. Ours are made with finely woven silver threads integrated throughout GOTS-certified organic cotton, which creates a conductive surface. When the sheet is plugged into a properly grounded outlet using our braided grounding cord, your body naturally releases built-up electrical charge. This process can support better rest, reduced inflammation, and overall recovery.
You don’t feel anything happening during sleep, it works quietly in the background. Think of it as giving your body the chance to reset overnight, the way it was naturally designed to when connected to the earth.
What does the sheet feel like? Will I notice the silver?
It feels just like a soft, breathable, high-quality organic cotton bedsheet. The silver thread is incredibly fine and fully woven into the fabric, so it’s not visible or detectable to the touch. Most people describe it as similar to a slightly thick cotton bedding, not like a medical or tech item. It is cool, smooth, and comfortable enough to use every night.
Do I need bare skin contact for grounding to work?
For best results, try to let at least one part of your bare skin rest directly on the sheet. This allows the grounding connection to happen most consistently. Thin, natural-fiber pajamas like cotton or linen may still allow some grounding, but thicker or synthetic fabrics can reduce the effect.
If you’re comfortable, simply having your legs, feet, or even an arm touching the sheet is enough.
For the grounding strip, most people place it across the lower part of the bed so their feet or calves naturally rest on it throughout the night.
When will I start to feel results?
Everyone is different. Some people notice deeper sleep or a calmer nervous system within a few nights. Others experience more gradual changes such as less morning stiffness, feeling more rested, or reduced overall stress over a few weeks. Grounding is most effective with consistent nightly use, much like hydrating, stretching, or getting enough sleep. You don’t need to feel a direct sensation for it to be working.
Can I put a regular sheet over the grounding sheet?
For the most consistent grounding, we recommend using the grounding sheet as your top sheet so that your skin makes direct contact with it. While thin, natural materials like cotton may allow some grounding to occur, thicker fabrics and synthetic materials can reduce effectiveness.
If you prefer to use another sheet for comfort, many customers simply fold back a section of it so their legs or feet rest directly on the grounding sheet. Even a small area of bare skin contact throughout the night is enough to maintain grounding.
What is the difference between the Grounding Strip and the Fitted Grounding Sheet? Which should I choose?
Both products use the same grounding technology and are highly effective. The main difference is how much of your body stays in contact during use.
The Grounding Strip is best if you’re just getting started with grounding or prefer a simpler, more budget-friendly option. It’s lightweight, portable, and easy to travel with. Most people place it across the lower part of the bed so their feet or legs naturally rest on it while sleeping. Even with this smaller area, it can still deliver strong grounding benefits.
The Fitted Grounding Sheet offers maximum coverage. Because it wraps around the mattress, your full body, including arms, legs, and feet, remains in contact as you move throughout the night. If you’re looking for the most seamless and consistent grounding experience, this is the ideal choice.
Both are great options, but you can pick the option that fits your lifestyle best.
Can I use grounding products during pregnancy or with health conditions?
Grounding is generally considered safe and very gentle. However, if you are pregnant or have a medical condition, you may want to consult with your healthcare professional. Many customers use grounding as part of recovery or wellness routines, but always listen to your body.
How do I care for my grounding sheet and how long will it last?
Our grounding sheets are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and finely woven pure silver fibers, designed to be both highly conductive and incredibly durable. With proper care, most customers use their sheets for many years.
For best longevity and continued conductivity, we recommend washing it every 2 weeks using cold water and a mild, natural detergent. Avoid bleach, whitening agents, and fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the silver fibers. Hang to dry or tumble on low heat.
With gentle care and consistent washing, your grounding sheet will continue to perform effectively and stay comfortable for long-term daily use.
