It's like sleeping in a lightening storm. How can I get rid of the static electricity?

Mr. Richards, I have not had that problem. I can suggest to spray it with StaticGuard and see if that helps. Let me know.

Hmm. I haven't had this problem. You could try washing the case. Also, try this.http://www.ehow.com/how_5024435_rid-static-electricity-blankets.htmlHowever, I wasn't a big fan of the case and made a different one that is a different flannel material. Or you could try not rubbing your feet on the carpet before you go to bed. Haha I kid. There are a few other cases on Amazon that you can purchase if washing the cover doesn't work, but if you know somebody who sews I would buy some fabric and put them to work!

I haven't noticed this at all with mine. My guess would be that your sheets or sleepwear is made of would be the culprit. The pillow cover is probably mostly/all polyester (I don't have the tag in front of me to look) If your sheets or sleepwear is also polyester the chance for static build up is fairly high. Your options are to replace the pillow cover with something all cotton, replace your sheets with something 100% cotton or try washing the pillow cover with some fabric softener to see if it helps reduce the static. Good luck!

I have never had that problem. I would try wiping down the pillow with a dryer sheet .... FYI, I use Zum natural laundry SOAP (not detergent) on all my stuff and it does not require that you use softener and I've never had problems with static with this or anything else and my clothes, sheets and towels are cleaner and softer than when I used to use the commercial stuff. Good luck!

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

I discovered this happened to me too. The only solution I found was to unplug it. I use mine at bedtime and then unplug it in the morning.

I never noticed it. I kept an iPad, iPhone, multiple halogen-dimmed lights on within two feet of the unit . . then tried them all off, when I was having the static/hum issue. The static only came from the remote: I'm convinced of that. If you keep the system on when NOT using the audio input, you can detect a very low-level, hum from the Cyber Acoustics system being on and, I assume, "waiting." But it's NOT the static and loud hum I was hearing, when I requested a replacement remote pod. That sound was incredibly loud, harsh, and distracting. This circuit hum is almost undetectable but is present, if you're a hyper sensitive type. My AC kicks in (which is quiet) and completely camouflages this circuit hum, as the sound is so faint. There you go....

I haven't had any issues with static electricity. I have it on commercial carpet tiles.

I agree completely with the other answer on Feb 16th. I use tennis balls and aluminum foil balls to help with static but that helps only a little. Anything that will grab those balls, such as fitted sheets, get little effect from them in regards to static. Because static is such a problem for me, I'm doing some of my laundry with softener and am continuing to research best products that don't contribute chemicals. I do change out the foil balls about once a month, otherwise they start to break down. I am a SoapNut fan regardless of the complexity of my washdays! My husband has developed pretty sensitive skin but Nuts do help! I agree completely with the other answer on Feb 16th.

Earth calm wall plug-in is supposed to "clean up" dirty electricity. I can't tell a difference ($300). The earthing products (mat, sheets, etc,) have changed my life. They literally connect you to the earths energy, uploading ATP directly, it grounds all electrical wave pounding your body, healing and recovering my body from intense exercise within a few hours. I now wake up completely revived even though my mind wants to stay in bed, I can't. I can't recommend any earthing product high enough. Or for free you could go outside barefoot.

Very carefully...there is a static charge of high voltage involved and I recommend you let an electrician do it.

One of mine flickered in a way that wasn't dizzying, but was unpredictable. My cure was a little dab of Vaseline on the contacts. It has worked so far. If you're young with good vision, you may be noticing the 60Hz fluctuation of house current. In my family I'm the only one who sees it. There is no easy cure for that.

I had static also. Am returning the device and ordering a new one from a different seller. I suspect the quality control may not be optimal and some may have static and others not.

no the voltage is correct, either switch to cold air, or move the dryer further away from your head

I find any lights annoying - covered it with a small scarf. What was REALLY ANNOYING was when the filter alarm went off at 2am and woke me out of a sound sleep and I lost a nights sleep.

I really don't know. But I unplug my home wireless wifi during storms. Have had it go out from lightening.

The power supply in the base of the bulb is very sensitive to static or glitchs.all of mine are still going strong except for the one I touched with a static charge.

I don't know about the combo with dryer sheets as my whole point in getting the wool balls was to get rid of the dryer sheets so I have not used them together. Dryer sheets use toxic chemicals, or so I have heard. Yet, I also have not had that much of a static issue. My solution to that is to take the garment and give it a good cracking brisk shake. That usually gets rid of some of the static. Again, it is not like my clothes have had a lot of static since I made the switch which was many dryer loads ago. Get rid of those dryer sheets!

The trick I have been using is to spray Static Guard and go in the bathroom or small room. If you get dust under the protector, take a 2 pieces of scotch tape, one to lift the protector, and one to slide underneath to get the dust off. It takes patience, but if you take your time, these protectors have worked best for me.
