Do I need to turn the switch on at the plug socket for earthing products to conduct?
Please leave the power off. The plug is designed only to connect to the earth point of the socket. The bottom two prongs are plastic, so the plug socket does not need to be switched on.
Can I buy just the plug and lead?
If you purchased your earthing sheet from Get Grounded, we can replace the plug and lead for you.
Do earthing products interfere with electronics in or near the bed?
No, earthing products do not interfere with electronics. For best comfort, keep devices away from your sleeping area where possible.
