Common Questions About Blankets & Sleeping Bags
Is bare skin contact required to get the grounding benefits?
Direct skin contact gives the most reliable connection. A thin natural layer such as cotton still conducts; a thick or synthetic one does not.
Can I machine wash my blanket or sleeping bag?
Yes! Regular washing is actually recommended to remove body oils and sweat which can tarnish the silver threads. Wash on a gentle cycle with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Never use bleach, fabric softeners, or whitening detergents, as these will ruin the conductivity.
Are these safe and practical for travel?
Absolutely. Grounding sleeping bags and throw blankets are extremely portable. Whether you are staying in a hotel or just relaxing on the couch, they provide an easy way to stay grounded without needing to unmake a bed or pack heavy mats.
