On one end of the nodpod, you will notice a slit that looks like a small hole. This is by design. If you want to wear your Nodpod upright, pull the other end through the hole. It will fan out flat for tension-free, 360* head hugging comfort. See photos below.
The nodpod is not your traditional elastic strap eye mask. The nodpod is designed to help you relax and fall into deep restful sleep with its weighted pods. Once in blissful sleep, the nodpod has done its job and you are most likely to find it resting next to you when you wake.
The Nodpod is made of two different materials to give you comfort options. One side is made of a soft, cool, breatable jersey cotton while the other side of the nodpod is made of a cozy and warm microfiber fleece.
Although that may sound like a better option, organic fill material over time produces mold spores and also cannot be washed or put into the freezer. Our fill material, made of polyethylene beads, does not promote the surface growth of bacteria, which is why it's so widely used in medical equipment, children's stuffed animals and food containers.
Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation, famously pioneered by Dr. Temple Grandin, is known for its ability to calm and relax the central nervous system and has been used in clinical practice for decades. It is very simply the practice of applying gentle, constant pressure to the body and is something from which we can all benefit Dr. Grandin describes Deep Touch Pressure as follows: "It is the type of surface pressure that is exerted in most types of touching, holding, stroking, or swaddling. Occupational Therapists have observed that very light touch alerts the central nervous system, but deep pressure is relaxing and calming." (Grandin, 1992)
Yes. Please wash your nodpod on a delicate setting in a garment bag.
Although nodpod is dryer safe, we recommend air-drying on a flat surface.
No. The polyethylene pellets are not rated for the microwave.
For an extra cooling sensation, you can put your nodpod in the refrigerator or the freezer. For extra headache relief, try it this way!
One side of the nodpod is made of a soft, microfiber fleece that always feels warm and snuggly. The other side, made of 100% jersey cotton, offers a breathable, cooler sensation.
Yes, very safe. Our microbeads are made of 100% round, polyethylene plastic pellets. These beads are nontoxic, BPA free and hypoallergenic. Polyethylene does not promote surface growth of bacteria, which is why it's so widely used in medical equipment, children's stuffed animals and food containers.
No, the nodpod is scent-free.
The nodpod was designed with the pressure-perfect amount of weight. If you would like your nodpod to feel heavier, one option is to fold it in half, which will double the weight over your face.
We recommend the nodpod for those 12 and older who are able to independently and correctly place and remove the nodpod themselves. Never use the nodpod, or any weighted product, on or near an infant or impaired person.
Yes. The microbeads mold to the contours of your face creating a custom, light blocking experience.
