What Is Grounding—and Why Your Sleep Might Be Missing It

May 23, 2025

You already know that sleep is essential. But what if the way you sleep—and more importantly, what you sleep on—could unlock even deeper rest, faster recovery, and better overall wellness?


That’s the idea behind grounding—and it’s the science powering our newest innovation: The Grounding Sleep System by DreamFit®.

First Things First: What Is Grounding?

Also known as “earthing,” grounding is the practice of physically reconnecting your body to the earth’s natural electrical energy.


Think: walking barefoot on the grass or lying on the beach—those calming, connected feelings aren’t just mental. Studies suggest that grounding can:

  • Reduce inflammation and pain
  • Improve circulation
  • Balance cortisol levels (your stress hormone)
  • Promote deeper, more restorative sleep


Until now, grounding has mostly happened outside. But our newest technology brings those benefits into your home—through your mattress, your sheets, and your protector.


So... How Does That Work in a Bed?


The Grounding Sleep System uses a naturally conductive material called graphene, infused directly into each layer of your bedding—from the mattress cover to the protector and the sheets.


Graphene is a carbon-based material that allows the body’s built-up static electricity to discharge—mimicking the way your body would ground outdoors.


By plugging into a standard grounding outlet, the entire system connects you back to the earth’s natural energy—without wearables or complicated tech.


Just your bed. As it should be.


The Role of Graphene: A Natural Conductor


Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms—stronger than steel, incredibly lightweight, and highly conductive. When blended with soft performance fibers, it creates a comfortable, breathable material that allows static energy to flow out of the body and into the ground.


In the Grounding Sleep System, graphene works by:

  • Discharging static buildup that can interfere with sleep
  • Helping regulate temperature to prevent overheating
  • Creating a grounding path that’s consistent and continuous—all night long


Think of it as built-in recovery, powered by science, but designed for everyday life.


Why This Matters for Sleep


When your nervous system is calm, your body can relax. When your body is grounded, it recovers faster. When your bedding is built with intention, your sleep becomes something more than just “rest.” It becomes restorative.


The Grounding Sleep System isn’t a wearable device or a gimmick. It’s a beautifully constructed sleep system—mattress, protector, and sheets—that connects you to nature, supports your wellness, and helps you sleep the way your body was designed to.
