You will have to use a grounding cord I used old computer cord broke the prongs off left the ground prong on plugged the ground in cut the other end off taped it to the argenmesh I just lay it across my fitted sheet sleep without shirt your skin has to touch it or it won't work hope this helped

Hi Dan, I have no idea, other than when I plugged the earth calm in my house and felt tingling in my body. I actually got extremely upset when someone stole my mat out of my luggage when traveling by plane. My husband uses the grounding mat when assembling electronics and once he did not use it and the machine blew. I would suggest that you call them and ask. Thank You for reminding me. I am on the computer a lot and need to order another mat. Happy Thanksgiving!

It only works skin to skin. If you have a tester, which comes with starter kit, you can test the earthing connection. Use the T connector with earthing pad in one side and tester in other. When we travel, I take this to test earthing in hotel rooms. I seem to remember a cover that comes with the black pad. It has silver threads through it. Other cloth (e.g. Clothing) would not work.

I am not around my house to answer your question. But I can tell you that it is not big enough to use as a cover. It fits my daybed perfectly to the bottom of the mattress so if you use a box spring under your mattress it will not work. Hope this helps some.....

The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it. I have had no animals bother it yet, and I have the cat, 3 dogs & 11 chickens that are exposed to this cord daily. I ave protected her house with a cardboard box big enough that I could slide her house in sideways that way and the entrance would be shielded, but she could still get out of the hole we left on the side of the box, as well to protect the wind that might blow around on the porch, and we ran the wire out of the back of her house and then out of the corner of the box to plug it in to my outdoor socket. Hope that helps. Hope that helps answer your question as well as keep your pet warm! The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it.

Yes, you can use an electric blanket. Make sure you purchase with the waterproof cover which has deep pockets and will cover your entire mattress and topper.

I don't know for sure, but my supposition is that most of the warmth and comfort would be absorbed by the memory foam . I think an electric blanket would be more suitable and will warm the bed nicely. I happen to have both, and use them both. Good luck...

Don't know, we just used regular outlet. My husband did not like this electric blanket, as it seemed cheesy to him, and he didn't like the electric blanket feel. Perhaps if I had gotten a more expensive one, he would have liked it better. I like an EB as I grew up with them. You might want to price compare.

Sorry for not answering sooner, had to find my writeup. The ThermoFine (TM) warming system has been engineered to eliminate over 95% of EMF as compared to resistance wire heating systems. For more information about automatic bed coverings, please visit www.sunbeam.com.

Which ever way your room electric plug is handy to hook up to mattress pad. If the plug is at the foot of the bed, turn pad that way, visa versa. I found the cord running thru the pad very uncomfortable to sleep on, good luck.

I felt very cold when I first started using the sheet but now use a heavy blanket on top of me & that takes care of it. I'm not sure it's the grounding sheet's problem though. A tester was also included in the package to test the sheet to make sure it is still grounded, so make sure your sheet is working correctly. The material feels like light cool cotton so I think that 'cool' is normal for breathable cotton.

The grounding sheet is your bottom sheet that you sleep on. Don't cover the earthing sheet with another sheet. Sleeping between a top sheet and the earthing sheet is what you want.

I am not certain what sort of field an electric mattress pad creates, but it may not give you the results you desire to ground if being surrounded by an electric mattress pad. Here is a link to their FAQs: http://www.earthing.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1835#d14 scroll to the part about using a laptop-- I'm guessing a mattress pad doesn't generate that much compared to a laptop, but if successful grounding and reducing your exposure to electrical fields is your goal, using a heating pad might not be helpful.

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.

Truthfully, I do not know. But I would not think you would have the ground come to the TV. I have always used a separate ground for lightning / static protection. If they are refering to ground in the sense of positive & ground, then it certainly does.

I'm not an electrician, but I would think it would need to be grounded... otherwise where would the surge go? I happened to have an electrician in my house for other things when this arrived, so I asked him how I should ground this. He just took it and hooked it up to the neutral/grounding wire in a nearby unused outlet and said it is now grounded with the rest of the house. I can still use that outlet too.

I run a B and B so after joining beds, I also use a waterproof matress cover over that bridge. I find it helps keeping beds together, so with all that your electric choices shouldn't matter :)
