How Our Grounding Coverage Calculations Work

Our Grounding Coverage Calculator is designed to provide a realistic comparison of the effectiveness between different grounding solutions, from smaller mats to our full-body grounding sheet. By factoring in variables like height, weight, sleeping position, and clothing type, we can calculate an estimate that reflects the body coverage you’d get from each option.

1. Height and Weight

• Rationale: Your height and weight affect the amount of surface area that’s in contact with the grounding material. Taller individuals and those with a larger build generally require more grounding surface to ensure full-body coverage.
• Calculation Details: We’ve set our base coverage estimate for an average adult height and weight, adjusting the effectiveness for smaller mats based on variations. For example, taller individuals may receive slightly lower coverage from a horizontally positioned mat, while shorter individuals may experience a slight increase in coverage.

2. Sleeping Position

• Rationale: Different sleeping positions affect the surface area in contact with the sheet. Back sleepers generally experience more contact with the grounding sheet, making grounding more effective. Side and stomach sleepers may have reduced surface area contact, impacting overall coverage.
• Calculation Details: We apply a 5-10% adjustment based on sleeping position. Back sleepers receive a slight increase in coverage, while stomach sleepers may see a reduction due to the limited surface area in contact with the sheet or mat.

3. Clothing Type

• Rationale: Grounding relies on direct skin contact, so the type of clothing worn while sleeping affects how well the sheet or mat conducts grounding energy. Wearing full pajamas, for instance, limits skin contact, whereas sleeping without clothing maximizes it.
• Calculation Details: Clothing reduces grounding effectiveness due to limited skin contact, so the calculator applies a 5-15% reduction based on the type of clothing. Full pajamas receive the highest reduction, while partial clothing receives a moderate reduction.

4. Mat Orientation (Horizontal vs. Vertical)

• Rationale: Smaller grounding mats provide limited coverage based on how they’re positioned. Placing a mat horizontally across the bed may cover more of the torso but leave the legs ungrounded, while vertical placement may cover more of the body but still miss certain areas.
• Calculation Details: We’ve set base coverage values for horizontal and vertical mat placements, estimating that horizontal orientation covers around 40% of the body, while vertical placement can reach up to 55% coverage for average height and weight.

5. Full-Body Coverage with Tenterra

• Rationale: Unlike smaller mats, Tenterra’s full-body grounding sheet provides 95% or more coverage across the entire mattress surface. This ensures that users benefit from consistent, whole-body grounding regardless of sleeping position or orientation, making it the superior solution.
• Calculation Details: The Tenterra sheet’s effectiveness is based on the full mattress coverage, with slight adjustments for height, sleeping position, and clothing type. The calculator is designed to highlight the significant increase in grounding effectiveness when using a full-sized sheet.

Why Full-Body Grounding Matters

By grounding the entire body, Tenterra’s full-sized sheet offers a more consistent and effective grounding experience throughout the night. Smaller mats may leave certain areas ungrounded, impacting the overall benefits. Our Grounding Coverage Calculator reflects these factors, providing a clear understanding of how Tenterra’s full-body solution stands out as the best choice for uninterrupted grounding.
