Do Shielding Canopies Work?
Yes, our Shielding Canopies have been extensively tested and are proven to work. We’ve received over 1,000 orders in 2021 alone, with thousands more in 2022-2025. Many of our customers have tested the canopies using RF radiation meters, specifically to measure the effectiveness of the shielding. We recommend purchasing an RF meter to verify the protection provided.
Why Trust Our Shielding Canopies?
Redemption Shield Canopies are crafted using some of the finest, most protective materials available in the market today. We aim to provide the highest quality shielding canopies to protect against electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
What Types of Protection Do Shielding Canopies Offer?
If your home is within a mile of any cell towers, or if you live in an area with high RF radiation, a shielding canopy can help reduce your exposure to higher frequencies. Increasing global research suggests concerns regarding the effects of proximity to cell towers, making EMF protection an important consideration for many people.
Our canopies provide a breathable, protective barrier during the time you spend resting and recharging. The materials used for the canopies include Silver-Spun Cotton and Silver-Spun Nylon, both offering exceptional EMF protection. Many of our customers report great results with both fabrics, and we believe either option is a fantastic choice for your health and peace of mind.
Do I Need Protection Under My Shielding Canopy?
If you live on a second floor or higher, additional underbody protection is recommended to maximize the shielding effect. This can be achieved with stainless steel fabric on the floor, grounding bed mats, or grounding bed sheets. You can also use a 35% grounded flat sheet placed underneath your bed or body to enhance your protection.
How to Test the Effectiveness of Your Shielding Canopy
To ensure the canopy is providing the protection you expect, we recommend testing it with an RF meter. Cell phone signal strength is not an accurate indicator of shielding effectiveness, as it doesn’t measure radiation exposure directly. RF meters will give you a more accurate reading of the radiation levels before and after the canopy is in place.
Limitations of Shielding Canopies
While our shielding canopies offer significant protection, it’s important to note that achieving 100% protection would require a highly specialized setup, such as a military-grade tent with air filtration systems. Our canopies are designed to provide effective shielding within the context of typical residential or personal environments but does not block all RF frequency in extreme conditions.
Our fabrics are made from breathable materials that strike a balance between comfort and protection. While breathability is a key feature of our canopies, it’s important to note that this may result in slightly reduced shielding coverage compared to more rigid or non-breathable materials. However, our fabrics still provide excellent protection against EMF and RF, while ensuring you can rest comfortably without compromising airflow.
What are the Benefits of being Grounded?
Grounding, also known as Earthing, is the process of reconnecting to the Earth’s natural electrical charge. In modern life, we are often insulated from this connection due to things like rubber or plastic-soled shoes and insulated sleeping arrangements. Grounding can help restore this natural connection, and many people report experiencing a variety of potential benefits, such as:
- Pain relief
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced immune function
- Stabilization of biological rhythms
- Reduction in chronic inflammation
- Emission of negative ions, which may help balance the positive ions generated by electromagnetic fields (EMF)
Important Disclaimer:
While grounding may offer a variety of reported benefits, please note that this information is not intended as medical advice and does not claim to cure or treat any medical conditions. Always consult with a healthcare professional for any concerns related to your health or well-being.
Do Grounding Products Run on Electricity?
No, grounding products do not use electricity. Instead, they work by transferring the Earth’s natural energy through a properly grounded outlet or a ground rod placed directly in the Earth. This energy is then conducted through a cord to the conductive Earthing product, which facilitates the transfer of the Earth’s energy to your body.
It’s important to note that the grounding process relies on the Earth’s energy, not an electrical current, and does not involve the use of electrical power.
Should You Unplug Your Grounding Mat or Other Grounding Products When Not in Use?
No, there’s no need to unplug your grounding products when they’re not in use. You can safely leave the cord plugged into the grounded outlet, as these products do not consume electricity. Here’s why:
No Power Consumption: Grounding products do not rely on electrical power to function. They are simply connected to the Earth’s natural energy, and they don’t “run” on electricity like typical electronic devices.
No Impact on Your Electricity Bill: Since grounding products do not use electrical power, leaving them plugged in will not increase your electricity bill in any way.
When to Unplug: The only time you should unplug your grounding product is when you’re moving it to a different location or storing it for an extended period.
In short, you can leave your grounding mat or other products plugged in without any concerns about power usage or costs.
What Should I Avoid While Grounding?
When practicing Grounding, it’s important to ensure a clear, direct connection between your body and the Earth. To maintain this connection, there are certain items and materials you should avoid:
Synthetic Bed Sheets and Bedding: Avoid using synthetic materials like nylon or polyester for bed sheets, mattress pads, or any plastic covers. These materials can block the grounding connection, preventing the flow of electrons from the Earth to your body.
Synthetic Pajamas: Just like synthetic bedding, wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon can interfere with grounding. Opt for pajamas made of natural fibers like cotton or bamboo for the best results.
Plastic Covers or Mattress Pads: Many mattresses and bed pads are designed with plastic covers to protect them, but these materials act as insulators and will prevent grounding.
Electronic Devices Nearby: While grounding, try to avoid placing electronic devices or charging cables near your grounding setup, as they can interfere with the natural flow of energy.
Natural Fibers Are Best: For grounding to be most effective, try to ensure that your body maintains direct contact with natural materials like cotton, bamboo, or wool. These fibers are conductive and will help maintain the grounding connection.
By eliminating synthetic materials and opting for natural fabrics, you help ensure that your grounding experience is as effective as possible.
Are Grounding Mats Safe for Animals?
Yes, grounding mats are safe for animals. Just like humans, animals have an instinctual desire to connect with the Earth’s natural energy. Many indoor pets, who might not regularly have access to outdoor ground, are naturally drawn to grounding products. In fact, many of our customers have shared that their pets enjoy spending time on the mats without any prompting.
Safety Tip: To ensure the safety of your pets, it’s a good idea to secure the grounding cords by taping them down. Pets can be curious and may play with the cords.
Additionally, we offer Pet Grounding Mats that have been specially designed for animals. These mats have been tested to provide the same grounding benefits for pets as they do for humans, helping your furry friends enjoy the advantages of connecting with the Earth.
How to Wash and Care for Your Grounding Bed Sheets
Grounding (or earthing) sheets are designed with fine silver threads woven through soft cotton to connect your body to the Earth’s natural energy. Because silver is both a precious metal and a sensitive conductor, proper care is key to preserving its effectiveness and extending the life of your sheet.
Regular Washing Routine
To keep your sheet in top condition, it’s best to wash it weekly. If that’s not practical, aim for at least twice a month. Frequent washing helps remove oils, perspiration, skin cells, and other organic substances that may form a layer over the silver and disrupt conductivity.
- Water Temperature: Use warm water—not hot. Warm water helps dissolve body oils and residues without damaging the fabric or the conductive fibers.
- Detergent Choice: Always opt for a mild, eco-conscious liquid detergent. Avoid detergents with:
Fragrances or essential oils
Chlorine bleach
Oxidizing agents (like oxy-bleach or whitening additives)
Enzymes or optical brighteners
A few safe options include fragrance-free, plant-based laundry liquids formulated for sensitive skin.What to Avoid Completely
What to Avoid Completely
To preserve conductivity and prevent damage to the silver fibers, avoid the following at all costs:
Bleach of any kind (this includes “oxygen” or “non-chlorine” bleaches)
Fabric softeners and dryer sheets
Whitening additives or enzymatic cleaners
Harsh stain removers or chemical sprays
These substances can corrode the silver and permanently compromise its performance.
Drying Tips
Line drying is ideal, especially in indirect sunlight.
Tumble drying on low heat is generally fine—but avoid high heat settings.
Maintaining and Checking Conductivity
Over time, it’s wise to check whether your grounding sheet is still working as intended. Even with proper care, wear and tear or buildup may affect conductivity.
How to test your grounding sheet: You can use one of two tools:
Continuity Tester (Product Tester): These are simple devices that light up if your sheet is conductive.
Digital Multimeter: Set the device to measure resistance (ohms). A low reading typically indicates good conductivity. See our video.
Test periodically—every few months is usually enough—or anytime you notice changes in how the sheet feels or functions. Some users prefer testing after each wash before putting the sheet back on the bed.
By following these care steps, your grounding sheet can remain effective and comfortable for years to come, helping you stay connected to the Earth’s energy night after night.
How Do I Clean My Grounding Mat or Military-Grade Conductive Fabric?
Grounding mats and high-performance military-grade conductive textiles are designed to be durable, but they still require specific care to maintain their function and lifespan.
These items should never be machine washed, soaked, or submerged in water, as this can damage the conductive layers. Instead, clean them by wiping the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. If necessary, a very small amount of mild, natural soap can be used—just make sure it’s free of essential oils, fragrances, or harsh chemicals.
Do not use bleach, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners, as these substances can degrade or destroy the conductive materials.
After cleaning, always air dry by hanging or laying the item flat in a shaded, cool area. Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose to direct sunlight or high heat, which may damage the structure or conductivity of the fabric.
Clean your mat or fabric as needed—especially when there is visible dirt, residue, or buildup from oils or skin contact. Regular light cleaning helps ensure reliable conductivity over time.
Can You Become Electrocuted If You Use Grounding Products?
Grounding products are designed to safely transfer the Earth’s natural energy to your body and do not rely on electrical power. When used correctly, they do not pose a risk of electrocution. However, to ensure proper safety, it’s always recommended to verify that your electrical outlets are properly grounded.
Steps to Ensure Proper Grounding:
Check Your Outlet: Consult a professional electrician to confirm that your outlets are properly grounded.
Use a Circuit Analyzer: A circuit analyzer can help verify proper grounding and is available for purchase in our shop. Ensure that the grounding cord is connected to the ground (third prong) of a properly grounded wall outlet.
Alternative Grounding Setup: If a properly grounded outlet is not available, we offer a 40-foot grounding cord that can be run outside to the ground. Many users prefer this method for its added reliability.
Safety Features: All of our grounding cords are equipped with a built-in 100k-ohm resistor for added safety.
Important Safety Note: Always follow standard lightning safety guidelines as recommended by the U.S. National Weather Service or your country’s relevant weather authority.
