I had some problems with my sleeping arrangement because the material is highly conductive. I didn't buy a canopy though I bought a sleeping bag so its much more confined. I've since updated it and turned the bag into more of a canopy/tent. I would say avoid a conductive canopy because it can raise your body voltage which can make it very hard to sleep and cause nasty side effects. I had huge problems with the conductivity and it only got worse when I first tried grounding my sleeping bag at night to the outlet. Even if it is grounded it can still be bad for you because the voltage is still going through your body. I can only use a grounding rod stuck in the ground now which while helping to diffuse some of the electrical fields and body voltage also helps me sleep better being connected to the earth. Even with the grounding rod stuck in the ground I have to be very careful the cord that connects the sheet to the ground doesn't come into contact with any electrical fields or it will carry it along the wire to the earthing sheet/conductive sleeping bag. Getting my sleep situation working has always been a very delicate balance of multiple things :/
