Miracle Sheets and grounding sheets have some common threads (no pun intended)–silver ones–but they serve different purposes. With Miracle Sheets, you get help with allergies, stay cool and dry all night, and keep your sheets cleaner, longer.
Grounding sheets are plugged into the wall, the silver’s conductive, and free radicals from the earth work overnight like the shoemaker’s elves to reduce inflammation, boost recovery, and help you sleep better.
The question is, do they really work, and which one’s best to splurge on?
Bottom Line Up Front
There’s science to back up the benefits of both of these sheets.
Grounding sheets’ main benefits are easier to come by without a purchase (contact with the earth–bare feet on the grass, for example), but this option could still be the best pick for you if you struggle with inflammation and its side effects or can’t get outside regularly for earthing. Still, these get mixed results in the real world.
Miracle Sheets prevent the growth and spread of bacteria, which reduces allergies, inflammation, infections, and skin problems. These results are harder to replicate if you’re still hoping to wash your sheets less often and stay cooler and drier at night. (Other sheets will keep you cool and dry, of course, but they don’t have the benefits of silver-infused sheets.)
In my mind, that makes Miracle Sheets more worth the splurge than grounding sheets, but everyone’s needs are different.
What Are Miracle Sheets?
If you’ve never heard of Miracle Sheets (or you have, but you’re not quite sure what they’re all about), here’s the quick rundown:
They’re luxurious cotton sheets, available in original and extra luxe, designed to keep you cool as you sleep and keep bacteria at bay, thanks to silver-infused technology.
Because they come in so many sizes (Twin to Cali King and Split King) and 12 different colors, you’ll be able to snag the perfect fit and a shade that complements your other bedding. Because they’re so good at keeping bacteria down, they stay fresh about three times longer than your average sheets.
Miracle Sheet Pros
- They keep you cool (an absolute must for perimenopausal/menopausal women and anyone who just tends to sleep hot–nobody wants to wake up looking like they just came back from the gym)
- Up to 99.7 percent less bacteria than your average set of sheets, which means you’ll be able to wash less often without guilt, or wash just as often (if you don’t want to break your routine) and have the satisfaction of knowing they’re fresher and cleaner when you turn in for the night.
- Less bacteria means better skin health.
- Less bacteria also means sheets smell fresh longer.
- You don’t see “may reduce or help prevent inflammation” listed as a benefit of Miracle Sheets (you do, however, see it with grounding sheets), but that’s a side effect of cutting down on bacteria and dust in your sheets.
- They’re easy to care for (wash, tumble dry low, and iron if you want to).
- They stay on the bed (no popping off in the middle of the night!).
- Free shipping if you live in the United States
- 30-day money-back guarantee
Miracle Sheet Cons
- The price. Pricing starts at $204.00 for a Twin set (which includes one pillowcase). Ouch.
- They seem to be sold out of things quite often, so if you know what you want, your budget allows, and it’s available, you should probably go ahead and order it. That doesn’t leave much time for deliberating, but that’s what the return policy is for.
Safety
Unless you have a problem with silver (in that case, you probably wouldn’t be reading this) or cotton, it’s unlikely that there’s anything unsafe about Miracle Sheets. If anything, they’ll make your bedroom safer, from a health perspective, by cutting down on bacteria and, as a result, starving dust mites of their snacks. That means you’re likely to be healthier, and your allergies less disturbed.
Comfort
The sheets are 100% cotton, soft, and cool. They’re inviting, breathable, and don’t make you sweat. Since they stay clean longer, they feel fresh against your skin longer.
Sleep Benefits
If you’ve ever gone through a season of waking up almost every night because it’s way too hot to sleep, you’ll appreciate one of the major benefits of Miracle Sheets. They’re designed to help regulate your temperature through the night so you stay cool and dry.
They’re luxurious enough to help you fall asleep and stay asleep (especially the Extra Luxe).
Because the silver’s working hard to kill off bacteria and keep dust mites at bay, you’ll be able to breathe easier. This is especially beneficial for those with asthma and/or allergies.
Quality sleep can improve your health across the board, whether you’re looking for cardiovascular improvements (like a better HRV rate), muscle recovery, steady energy levels, etc., but when you can’t breathe well due to allergies or you’re overheating, it’s difficult to achieve those benefits. Miracle Sheets can help you address the root of the problem.
Scientific Backing: Let’s Dig In
If silver-infused sheets can stand up to a healthcare setting, a product like Miracle Sheets should be able to handle a little bacteria in your bedroom, and a study showed that “silver-impregnated fabric” bedding did a good job of preventing and controlling microbial transmission.
Another study got similar results. In this case, they measured the reduction of a variety of microorganisms and found significant results almost across the board.
AgResearch Magazine reports that it doesn’t take a lot of silver nanoparticles to keep bacteria under control, and their method is to add the silver to cotton, much like the makeup of Miracle Sheets. They found that their silver-infused cotton would kill bacteria even after 50 washes.
Silver has been used to kill bacteria for more than 100 years, and using it inside fabric you sleep on seems to be a smart way to incorporate its use in everyday life, helping keep you healthier and your space cleaner without a huge time commitment or switch to your routine.
What Are Grounding Sheets?
Grounding sheets claim to help you get more out of your sleep and feel more rested when you wake up. They’re also meant to reduce inflammation, which can cause discomfort in the short term and possibly lead to chronic disease in the long term. Some claims include more energy, improved blood circulation, and better workout recovery.
Grounding sheets tend to be silver-infused cotton, just like Miracle Sheets. The difference is, you plug them into your grounding outlet so they’re connected to the earth.
Grounding Sheet Pros
- The sheets tend to be soft and of high quality.
- Whether the claims are true or not, if you’re open to the idea that they’re effective, you might notice benefits.
- While the price will depend on the brand, pricing overall seems to be lower than Miracle Sheets across the board. However, you may not get a flat sheet or pillowcase with your grounding sheet, so that’s where some of the price difference comes from.
- If the outlet’s not an option, you can use a grounding rod.
Grounding Sheet Cons
- They’re typically expensive and may not make a difference in how you feel, so there’s a risk of wasting money when you could just buy sheets so luxurious, you can’t help but sleep better and feel more refreshed.
- Depending on where your bed is compared to your grounding outlet, you might have to rearrange your room to even use grounding sheets (and then if you don’t like them–or the new layout–you’ll be moving everything back). The other option, a grounding rod, will require you to be close enough to a window (or run a line around the room) to get the same result.
- If you like to bundle up in the winter (think long sleeves, pants, and socks to sleep in), you’re unlikely to get any benefit because bare skin or thin cotton pajamas work best for conductivity.
- Color selections seem limited, no matter which brand you choose.
- Caring for your sheets may be more of a hassle than you’re prepared for (some, but not all, recommend hand-washing, and you’ll need to be careful about the temperatures and products you use).
- It’s best not to have any lotions or oils on your skin when you go to bed.
Safety
Grounding sheets seem to be safe, but it’s still wise to check your outlet first to make sure it’s really grounded. I don’t think I’d leave them plugged in during a storm, especially not while I was sleeping on them, just to be on the safe side.
There are some anecdotal reports of detox symptoms, but no studies have been done.
Comfort
Grounding sheets are generally like any other sheets, but they have to be plugged in. Mentally, that makes me uncomfortable, though I’ve seen no reason to believe it’s actually dangerous to have them plugged into the appropriate outlet.
Overall, they’re made of the same materials as other sheets, plus conductive silver, which is what delivers the benefits. How comfortable they are will depend on the brand you choose and your preferences.
Another thing to consider–and again, this is more mental than physical–is how you like your room set up. Rearranging your room for the sake of plugging in your sheets could cause you to lose sleep if everything just feels “off.”
Sleep Benefits
Ditch the chronic inflammation, boost your immune system, and recover from workouts faster in your sleep, in a nice set of cotton sheets? Yes, please.
In addition to being comfortable cotton sheets with a silvery twist, if you find a set of sheets that works well for you and you adhere to all the appropriate guidelines (like wearing the right pajamas and no lotions or oils to bed), you could improve your health across several systems–cardiovascular (with improved HRV rate), immune, musculature, etc.
Quality rest gained from a solid sleep routine (a regular schedule, activity throughout the day, no screens before bed, habits to signal to your mind and body that it’s time to wind down, for example) can give you these benefits, too, but if you’re struggling to rest well, going the extra mile and giving grounding sheets a try could pay off.
Scientific Backing
Some people say grounding sheets improve their sleep and overall health, while others complain that nothing happens. A lot can factor into their effectiveness, like what you wear to bed, moisturizer on your skin, how long you try the sheets, your level of skepticism/optimism, etc.
Some studies suggest benefits from grounding (studies specifically on grounding sheets are hard to come by):
Grounding could improve HRV (beneficial for cardiovascular health) and help balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. This study mentions (but doesn’t confirm) that grounding may offer some relief for anxiety and depression. Patients only needed 20 to 40 minutes of grounding for results.
Grounding can also reduce inflammation, lower stress levels, and could even reduce pain and improve sleep.
Science suggests that grounding/earthing is legitimate and carries many benefits, but you don’t need sheets–or all night–to see improvements. Could sheets help? Sure, but so could walking barefoot outside or enjoying an hour-long picnic or reading session in contact with the earth.
Miracle Sheets vs Grounding Sheets: My Final Take
If you can’t shake your curiosity around grounding sheets or Miracle Sheets, go ahead and give them a try to see how they work for you specifically (check the return policy first, just in case).
The most noticeable benefits are likely to come from Miracle Sheets. And there’s no hassle with an outlet or wire/rod combo.
For grounding, I’d just spend some time barefoot in the grass or working in a garden since grounding sheets can be so finicky. You don’t need a full night’s worth of time in contact with the earth to feel the benefits of grounding/earthing. Keep it simple. It’s a bit of a jump to assume the benefits of the sheets are exactly the same as skin-to-earth contact.
With Miracle Sheets, you’re affecting your environment, not your body directly, so what you wear won’t matter, and you don’t need to worry about where the grounding outlet is.
I would put my money toward Miracle Sheets if I had a range of concerns I’d like to address (like post-workout muscle recovery, skin health, and allergies). Just inflammation and stress? Maybe I’d try grounding sheets first, but Miracle Sheets may help with inflammation, too, by reducing bacteria.
