Reconnect with Nature Indoors, No Grass Needed
This 90 x 60cm grounding mat is the most popular size in our range and the one most customers start with. It connects to any properly earthed NZ/AU 3-pin wall outlet using the included 4.9m earthing cable, and it comes with a built-in 100k ohm safety resistor for peace of mind during extended or overnight use.
Place it under your desk, on the floor beside your bed, or anywhere you spend time sitting or standing. When your bare skin touches the conductive surface, the mat creates a direct path to earth through your wall outlet's ground pin. No live electricity is involved at any point.
What is in the Box
1x grounding mat (90 x 60cm), 1x earthing cable (4.9m) with NZ/AU 3-pin plug and built-in 100k ohm safety resistor.
Key Features
90 x 60cm conductive surface. Large enough for both feet under a desk, spacious for floor sitting or stretching, and easy to move between rooms when needed.
4.9m earthing cable with NZ/AU plug. The long cable gives you flexible placement in bedrooms, offices, and living areas without needing an extension cord. The plug connects to the earth pin only.
100k ohm safety resistor built in. The resistor is built into the earthing cable and limits current flow in the unlikely event of a wiring fault. This is a standard safety feature for grounding products and is particularly important for overnight or all-day use.
Carbon-infused PU leather surface. The top layer is smooth, comfortable, and easy to wipe clean. The carbon infusion provides consistent conductivity across the entire surface without degrading over time the way thin silver-thread fabrics can.
PVC-free and vinyl-free construction. The conductive surface is PU (polyurethane) leather and the backing uses safe, non-toxic materials. No PVC, no vinyl, no latex.
Best Used For
Under-desk grounding. Slide the mat under your desk and rest your bare feet on it while you work. The 90 x 60cm size fits comfortably under most desks and standing desk setups.
Floor sitting and stretching. Use the mat during yoga, meditation, or floor stretching. Direct skin contact with your feet, legs, or hands provides the strongest connection.
Bedside routine. Place the mat on the floor beside your bed and rest your feet on it for 20 to 30 minutes before sleep. Many users find this helps them wind down after a long day.
Under a bedsheet. You can place the mat on your mattress under a fitted sheet for overnight grounding. Conductivity may be slightly reduced through fabric, but many users prefer this setup for comfort during sleep.
How to Set Up
Step 1: Place the mat where you will use it.
Step 2: Snap the earthing cable into the connector on the mat.
Step 3: Plug the cable into a standard NZ/AU 3-pin wall outlet. The cable connects to the earth pin only.
Step 4: Make bare skin contact with the mat. Feet, hands, legs, or any exposed skin will work.
Start with 20 to 30 minutes a day and build up from there. Consistent daily use tends to produce the most noticeable results. If you are unsure whether your outlet is properly earthed, use a socket tester or ask a licensed electrician to check.
Specifications
Why This Size?
The 90 x 60cm mat is our best seller because it suits the widest range of routines. It is large enough for both feet under a desk but compact enough to roll up and store or move between rooms. If you need something smaller for travel or keyboard use, the 30 x 60cm mat is a better fit. For full-body bed coverage, see the large earthing mat for bed or the half-size bed mat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mat work in New Zealand wall sockets?
Yes. It includes an NZ/AU 3-pin plug and is designed for NZ homes and offices. The plug connects to the earth pin only. Grounding requires a properly earthed outlet.
What does the 100k ohm safety resistor do?
The resistor is built into the earthing cable and limits current flow in the unlikely event of a wiring fault. It is a standard safety feature used with grounding products and provides an extra layer of protection for everyday and overnight use.
Do I need bare skin contact?
For the strongest connection, yes. Bare feet, hands, or legs on the mat provide the most direct conductivity. Thin natural-fibre clothing or a cotton sheet will still allow some grounding, though the connection will be weaker.
Can I use this mat under a bedsheet?
Yes. Many users place the mat on their mattress under a fitted sheet for overnight grounding. Conductivity may be slightly reduced depending on fabric thickness, but this remains a popular setup for sleep use.
How long should I use it each day?
Most people start with 20 to 30 minutes and adjust from there. Consistency tends to matter more than session length. Many users ground overnight for 7 to 8 hours of continuous contact.
Can I use this at my desk?
Yes. The 90 x 60cm size fits comfortably under most desks and standing desk setups. Rest your bare feet on the mat while you work.
How do I know if my outlet is properly earthed?
Use a socket tester (available at most hardware stores for around $15 to $20) or ask a licensed electrician. Most modern NZ homes have correctly wired earth connections.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Air dry completely before reconnecting. Do not soak the mat, machine wash it, or use harsh chemicals.
Is this mat safe to use around pets?
Yes. No electricity flows through the mat, so there is no risk of shock. The mat uses the earth connection only.
What is the difference between this mat and a grounding sheet?
This mat is a compact, portable surface made from carbon-infused PU leather. It is designed for targeted use at a desk, on the floor, or across part of a bed. A grounding sheet is a full bed sheet woven with conductive silver fibres that covers your entire mattress. The mat is more affordable and versatile for daytime use, while a sheet is better for full-body overnight grounding.
Grounding products are designed for general wellbeing and comfort. They are not medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual experiences vary.
If you are currently under medical supervision or taking medication, talk to your healthcare provider before starting a grounding routine. Some users report changes in how they feel after regular grounding, which may affect your medical test results or require medication adjustments.
Who Should Consult a Doctor First
Blood-thinning medication (e.g. warfarin/Coumadin). Some research suggests grounding may have a natural blood-thinning effect. If you take blood thinners, monitor your blood levels closely and speak with your doctor before using grounding products regularly.
Blood sugar medication. Grounding may influence blood sugar regulation. If you take anti-diabetic medication, check with your doctor to determine whether a dosage adjustment is needed.
Thyroid medication. Grounding may affect thyroid function, which could alter how your body responds to thyroid medication. Consult your healthcare provider if you are on thyroid hormone treatment.
Anti-inflammatory medication. Because grounding may reduce inflammation, those taking anti-inflammatory drugs should monitor their response and consult their doctor about potential dosage changes.
Multiple medications or complex health conditions. If you take several medications or manage ongoing health conditions, discuss grounding with your healthcare provider before starting. Changes in physiological function from regular grounding may interact with existing treatments.
General Guidance
Start slowly. Begin with 20 to 30 minutes per day and increase gradually based on how you feel. If you notice any unexpected changes, pause and consult your healthcare provider.
Research into earthing and grounding is ongoing. While early studies and user reports are encouraging, the science is still developing. Always prioritise professional medical advice over general wellness information.
What is earthing (grounding)?
Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of making direct physical contact with the Earth's surface. When you walk barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, your body absorbs the Earth's natural electrons through your skin. Grounding products like mats and sheets are designed to replicate this connection indoors by linking to the earth pin of a wall outlet.
How does a grounding mat work?
A grounding mat has a conductive surface (usually carbon-infused PU leather or silver fibre fabric) connected to an earthing cable. The cable plugs into a standard NZ/AU 3-pin wall outlet and connects to the earth pin only. No live electricity flows through the mat. When your bare skin touches the conductive surface, a path to earth is created through your home's grounding system.
Is grounding via a wall outlet the same as using an external grounding rod?
Yes, they work on the same principle. Modern NZ homes have a grounding rod buried outside the property, connected to the earth pin on every mains socket through the domestic wiring system. Plugging a grounding mat into your wall outlet connects you to that same earth point.
Do all NZ homes have a mains earth connection?
A mains earth connection is required by law in New Zealand and is almost universally present. If you are concerned about the wiring in your property, an inexpensive socket tester (available at most hardware stores for around $15 to $20) can verify whether the earth connection is working correctly.
Is it safe to ground myself through a wall outlet?
Yes. Our grounding products connect to the earth pin only and include built-in protection resistance in the earthing cable. No live electrical current passes through the mat. If a socket is mis-wired, the protection resistance limits current to a safe level. If you have any doubts about your wiring, use a socket tester or ask a licensed electrician to check.
What can I expect when I start grounding?
Individual experiences vary. Some people notice they feel more relaxed or sleep more comfortably within the first few sessions. Others find the effects are more gradual and become noticeable over days or weeks of consistent use. Think of grounding like any other wellness habit: small, regular sessions tend to produce the most noticeable results over time.
How can I experience the benefits of earthing?
You have two main options. The first is to spend time barefoot outdoors on natural surfaces like grass, soil, sand, or gravel. Wet surfaces are more conductive than dry ones. Note that asphalt, vinyl, and wood are not conductive. The second option is to use indoor grounding products such as mats, sheets, or pillow covers, which connect to earth through your home's grounded outlet.
Is earthing a new concept?
No. Humans have always had direct contact with the Earth's surface through barefoot walking and sleeping on the ground. The modern concept of using grounding products to restore that connection indoors was developed in the late 1990s and has gained growing interest since then.
Is grounding safe for people on medication?
If you take medication, consult your healthcare provider before starting a regular grounding routine. Some users report changes that may interact with certain medications, particularly blood thinners, blood sugar medication, thyroid medication, and anti-inflammatory drugs. See the Health Advisory tab for specific guidance.
Should I disconnect grounding products during a thunderstorm?
As a general precaution, yes. While the risk is extremely low, it is sensible to disconnect any grounding device from the wall outlet during an active thunderstorm, the same way you would unplug other sensitive electronics.
