At Barefield, we believe that connecting with nature is essential for well-being. Our mission is to bring you closer to the earth, even when you're far from it.

The pleasure of grounding every time
Imagine feeling the pleasure of grounding every time you settle into your favorite chair or lean into your standing desk. With Barefield’s proprioceptive mats, you reconnect again with your feet—even when you’re busy watching TV or checking emails. Your feet were asleep until now; each time they meet the arlite beads, volcanic stone, and quartz stone textures, a wave of natural vitality flows up through your body.
​
Calm inflammation & soothe discomfort
By inviting Earth’s gentle energy through the Barefield mat, you help neutralize free radicals and ease chronic tension. Users report softer, less swollen feet after just a few sessions, and long-term mat lovers enjoy fewer aches across hips, knees, and lower back—no harsh remedies needed.
​
Refresh circulation & awaken tired muscles
As you shift your weight, the textured pebbles stimulate blood flow, making your legs feel lighter and more alive. Whether you’re powering through a work sprint or binge-watching your favorite series, the Barefield experience helps banish that heavy-leg feeling and supports faster muscle recovery after a long day.
​
Drift into deeper, more natural sleep
When you finish your day seated or standing over the mat, your nervous system finds its balance. The subtle grounding effect helps lower stress hormones, so you fall asleep more easily and wake up feeling truly rested. Many users say they no longer toss and turn—instead, they slip into a calm, steady rhythm night after night.
​
Unwind stress & lift your mood
Just minutes on your Barefield mat can shift you into parasympathetic mode—your body’s natural “relax and restore” state. You’ll notice calmer breathing, a softer heartbeat, and a lighter mind. It’s like a mini-retreat right in your living room, helping you greet each afternoon with fresh positivity.
​
Sharpen proprioception & strengthen your foundation
Walking barefoot tunes you into every contour beneath you; Barefield’s mats recreate that experience while you work or relax. Your brain re-learns how to sense and adjust, refining balance and posture without bulky shoes. Over time, your feet build natural strength, arches regain form, and you move through life with greater ease and confidence.

The Story of Barefield
Imagine a windswept Atlantic cliff at dawn—somewhere along the wild coast of Northern Spain—where the first golden rays kiss the volcanic rock and the ocean’s breath hums through salt-touched grasses. That’s where our story begins.
David, a lifelong barefoot wanderer, had always felt a secret yearning under his feet. Growing up near San Sebastián, he’d stroll across cool stone promenades, rugged coastal paths, and rocky tidal pools, marvelling at how his toes seemed to sing with every texture.
​
But later, sitting at his desk in a glass office in Barcelona, he felt a dull disconnect—as if his feet, once so alive, had drifted asleep under the weight of city pavements, metro floors, and stiff shoes.
​
One sleepless night, inspired by memories of grounding on ocean-worn stones, David gathered three humble treasures: luminous quartz from a friend’s mountain refuge in the Pyrenees, smooth volcanic pebbles brought back from a trip to the Canary Islands, and tiny arlita beads—each one light as air but full of hidden strength. He arranged them carefully on an old woven mat, closed his eyes, and pressed his bare feet into the mosaic.
​
In that instant, he felt it: a gentle electric pulse, like the Earth whispering through his soles. Every bead, every stone, pulsed with life—stirring sensations he hadn’t realized were buried. His feet were waking up. They tingled. They urged him to “feel the bliss” of this simple communion.
​
Over the next weeks, David refined that first “grounding carpet,” sewing the stones into soft, hand-crafted pads that warmed to his skin, made in a small European workshop. Each version was a love letter to his feet: four times more sensitive than his hands, they held a universe of nerve endings longing to reconnect with the planet.
​
By morning, he would move between his home office and his yoga mat, every step grounded in that subtle electric hum.
Word spread among friends scattered across Europe—Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam—people who had forgotten how alive their feet could feel. They shared snapshots of Barefield carpets laid beneath sleek standing desks, in cozy living rooms with city views, and on sunlit balconies high above the streets. These little texture-scapes invited everyone to “reconnect with your feet” and remember how deeply we evolved to touch the Earth underfoot.
And so, from an Atlantic cliffside epiphany to a growing community of barefoot dreamers across Europe.
Barefield was born.
