Grounding on the sofa
Enjoy reading on the sofa or spending an evening in your favourite chair? A grounding blanket lets you make contact with the earth during that time. Choose a size that suits how you sit or lie down.
Which size suits your sofa?
The smaller 157 × 127 cm blanket is useful across your legs or in a chair. The 203 × 152 cm size gives you more coverage when lying down. Measure the area you want to cover rather than relying on the width of your sofa alone.
Keep the conductive side against your skin
The soft upper side is polyester. The underside contains organic cotton with silver thread: this is the conductive side. Place it against bare skin and connect the blanket as described in the instructions. The blanket has no electric heating function.
Check the distance to the socket
The blanket includes a 4.6-metre grounding cable with a plug. Check that it reaches your spot and that the socket is grounded. A grounding rod may be an alternative without a grounded socket if you can reach suitable soil outside. Read the guidance and instructions first.

Earthing explained in a minute and a half
What earthing is, how you connect a product and why no current runs through it.
There is never any current on your product
The cable goes only to the earth connection of the outlet, never to the live wire. The plug also contains a 100k ohm resistor, so no current can ever run through the product.
No grounded outlet in the room? Then clamp the cable onto a radiator pipe, or push the earthing pin into the ground outside.
