        Frequently Asked Questions

        Can I use Nodpod for side sleeping?

        Yes. It works incredibly for side sleeping. Be sure to use the last two pods over your eyes and rest your head on the hollow end.

        Will it stay on all night?

        The purpose of nodpod is to help you relax and get to sleep, not to stay on all night. Nodpod may slip off while you're sound asleep but will always be by your side if you get to snooze-in.

        Does nodpod come in different weight options?

        Nodpod was designed with the comfort in mind. We've experimented with every weight down to the bead, and found that 9 ounces, evenly distributed, was the perfect weight for all sleeping positions.

        Isn’t organic material fill better than plastic beads?

        Although that may sound like the better option, organic fill material over time produces mold spores and cannot be washed. Our fill material, made of small, round plastic beads, does not promote the surface growth of bacteria.

        What are the benefits of weighted product?

        Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation is known for its ability to calm and relax the central nervous system and has been used in clinical practice for decades. It's simply the practice of applying gently pressure to the body. This has been shown to increase serotonin levels (the feel-good hormone) while decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone). Just the kind of thing you need for a good night's sleep.

        How does the cool-side, warm-side work?

        It's simply how the air passes through the two different materials. One side is made of a cooling jersey cotton and the other side a warmer, microfiber fleece.

        What are the beads in the nodpod made of? Are they safe?

        Yes, very safe. The microbeads are made of 100% Polyethylene (PE) plastic pellets, which is the most common plastic in use today. It's used in medical equipment, food containers, and children's stuffed animals. These beads are nontoxic, BPA free and hypoallergenic.

        Do your materials contain dangerous chemicals?

        All of Nodpod's materials meet and exceed the most stringent state and federal agencies' guidelines for safe materials.

        THE SCIENCE OF

        Deep Touch Pressure

        Research from medical & scientific community has shown that sleeping under weight improves sleep and wellbeing. By applying firm but gentle pressure to the body, weighted masks and blankets use a therapy tool called Deep Touch Pressure or Deep Pressure Stimulation to provide an overall calming effect to help achieve a deeper and better night’s sleep.

        • Promotes Serotonin Release

          A chemical that regulates mood, happiness and overall sense of well-being. This allows your mind to relax into a more restful, restorative sleep.

        • Reduces Cortisol Levels

          The hormones that causes stress. It works with certain parts of your brain to control your mood, motivation, and fear.

        • Stimulates Melatonin Production

          The chemical that helps you sleep and relax. Melatonin creates deeper REM cycles, leading to a more restful sleep.

          DR. AAISHWARIYA | OPHTHALMOLOGY PHYSICIAN

          “The science of sleep is rooted in the senses of sleep, and a lot of that originates in stimulus provided to or around the eye. Thus, optimizing these conditions improves one's quality of sleep.”

          DR. JANINA | NEUROSCIENTIST

          “I use a Nodpod weighted sleep mask. The gentle pressure helps me to relax and fall asleep more easily. When we are in a dark environment, the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, is stimulated.”

          DR. BLAKE | EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN

          “When I discover somebody isn’t sleeping well, I often recommend that they give Nodpod a try. After all, I speak from experience as a night shift worker who needs to sleep during the day.”
