My first “silver-thread” sheet arrived from an overseas marketplace with no continuity cord and—no surprise—zero conductivity. Since then I’ve tested dozens of Australian-supplied products with a multimeter and built a simple checklist to separate real, lab-grade grounding gear from copy-paste imports. Below I share that checklist and the five places I personally trust for ordering in Australia—plus the red flags to avoid.
Quick authenticity checklist
| Test | What to look for | How I check at home |
|---|---|---|
| Conductivity spec | Surface resistance < 100 Ω | Four-point probe / basic multimeter |
| Clear material label | % silver, carbon or stainless fibre stated | Compare to similar SKUs |
| Australian warranty & ABN | 12- to 36-month cover | Review T&Cs before purchase |
| Local support | AU phone / chat, GST invoices | Ring them once—see if they answer |
| Safety resistor in cord | Built-in 100 kΩ | Visual check on arrival |

My top 5 places to buy authentic earthing gear in Australia
| # | Supplier | Stand-out strengths | Caveats |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. GroundingHub (that’s us!) | Full range of earthing mats, earthing sheets & earthing pillowcases; two-year warranty; Perth warehouse for fast shipping | I’m biased—but we publish live conductivity tests for every batch | |
| 2. Better Earthing (Gold Coast) | Only Aussie manufacturer of indoor grounding gear; offers stainless-mesh options that survive 500+ wash cycles australianmade.com.au | Premium price; stock can sell out mid-winter | |
| 3. Earthing Oz | Stocks organic-cotton silver sheets, pillowcases and starter kits; solid 30-day return window earthingoz.com.au | Mats are often USA imports—check plug adaptors | |
| 4. Barefoot Healing | Long-running NSW retailer; bundles include testers and how-to DVDs barefoothealing.com.au | Some listings still use old-style vinyl that can feel sticky in heat | |
| 5. Urban Hippie | Good for niche items like grounding blankets & pet mats; clear GST invoices urbanhippee.com.au | Limited telephone support—email only |
Amazon AU? You can find legit mats and sheets on Amazon Australia, but the marketplace mixes genuine and white-label listings. Always verify resistance on arrival and read seller reviews in depth. Amazon

How shipping & plugs work down under
- AU-ready cords: All retailers above supply Type I three-pin plugs or ground-only adapters—no DIY rewiring needed.
- Fast metro delivery: Better Earthing and GroundingHub ship from QLD & WA warehouses (2–4 days to most capitals).
- Rural & remote: Australia Post’s bulky-item surcharge applies to blankets/mats over 1 kg—plan ahead for bush trips.
Red flags I still see in 2025
- “Anti-EMF” stickers sold as grounding pads (they’re just carbon decals).
- No ABN on the checkout page.
- Resistance spec quoted in kilo-ohms (100 kΩ) rather than < 100 Ω.
- Photos showing a two-pin EU plug on an “Aussie” listing.
If any of these pop up, close the tab and move on.
Essential add-ons before you click ‘buy’
- A simple multimeter or dedicated tester from our earthing accessories page—so you know your gear is actually live.
- Extra snap cords (kids + pets chew them faster than you think).
- A cotton fitted sheet to cover vinyl mats for sweat-free comfort.
Final word from a lifelong barefooter
Australia finally has a solid ecosystem of local brands that back their conductivity claims with real warranties. Follow the checklist above, stick to the suppliers I’ve vetted, and you’ll be grounded—literally and figuratively—in no time.
