nodpod Patented Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask, Weighted Eye Mask

Man, I love this thing. This is the second one I purchased after an unfortunate incident between my dog and the first one I bought. The weighted nature of this sleep mask keeps your eyes closed and truly helps you fall asleep. I suffer from chronic insomnia - and it has really helped me. While you might thing the weight and fabric of the non-silk version would be warm, it's not. It's a gentle pressure and cooling combination that makes it where I can barely sleep without it. It is just the right amount of weight and thickness to block light without making you feel trapped. I love it. If you are one of those people, like me, who closes their eyes for 10 minutes and immediately picks up their phone, I *highly* recommend this.

Great sleep , and surprisingly helped dampen noise. my bedroom window is east facing and the morning sun easily wakes me up and not only that my cats beg and scratch my door every morning. I was able to ignore their cries 😅 and I didn't even notice the sun went up. The difference was actually blinding when I took it off. I generally sleep on my back so it didn't fall off and even when I moved to the side adjusting the mask was seamless in comparison to adjusting an elastic sleep mask. one side is smooth and cooler and the other is still soft but warmer. i was surprised to realize it's weighted with beads sectioned in 4 mounds, which I think is the reason why it rests on the eyes without slipping off. i loo forward to taking naps with it too almost like when you cover your eyes with a blanket without covering your breathing. I think the texture of the beads could improve poo

I recommend a nodpod to anyone that will listen! I think the weight of this sleep mask is just right, and personally I love that it’s intended to come off once you’ve fallen asleep and rolled over or whatnot. I couldn’t use other sleep masks because I’d feel kind of claustrophobic with it wrapped all the way around my head and this takes care of that! I also really like the silk option; it’s got a cooling quality to it and seems to be holding up well! I wash mine on delicate and lay it out to air dry. As far as my sleep itself, I feel like I fall asleep easier and tend to feel more rested. Genuinely love this thing and intend to give everyone I know one for Christmas this year lol

If I could only recommend one item that would change your life, it would be this one. Draping this velvety soft weighted fabric over my eyes is the thing I look forward to most about going to bed every night. Not only does it block out the light around you, but if you are a side sleeper like me, you can use it to block out noise as well. It’s magic. Within moments I feel more at ease, calm, and my mind is quieter. This is my favorite thing to give as gifts, and every recipient has had the same reactions - it’s hard to sleep without once you get used to it. I like to sleep with the super soft velvety “warm” side, and flip to the cooler side if I’m sleeping with a face mask on. I take my Nodpod on work trips, camping, everywhere I plan to sleep. It’s especially helpful in noisy hotels while traveling, and brings with a little bit of comfort of feeling like you’re at home. I gifted one to my sister, and she loves to pull hers through the opening at the end so that it stays on all night, but I find that just tucking around my head usually has enough weight to keep it in place. I love that it’s an option though, especially if you like to stomach sleep or ensure even more quiet/light blocking. Machine washable to boot, they really make this thing too easy to love. Gift it, use it yourself… thank me later!

There's a lot I really like about it. The packaging, material and feel are all good quality. I enjoyed using it. However, I ended up returning it because even using it for side sleeping, the extra weight did a terrible number on my neck. For days after I started using it, I had awful neck pain when turning my head. I didn't realize that's what was causing it until I forgot to use my nodpod one night. It does a great job of blocking out light and is very relaxing to use if you have the patience to wait the 2-3 minutes for the weight to really kick in. Highly recommended for everyone that doesn't have a weak neck like me apparently.

I was skeptical but I needed something that worked for my eyes at night with a CPAP and as a dude sleeper. I'm extremely impressed. It does exactly what it says. Quiets the mind and let's me drift off without my eyes feeling like sand paper in the morning. I have long eyelashes so my eyes don't always close completely. It feels nice, I recently moved away from my weighted blanket so I was a little nervous about the weight here, but it's so light I didn't think it would help. Wrong again. I am getting ready to buy another I love it so much. There's a cool side and warmer side, I like the cool one. I struggle with ADHD related insomnia and while it isn't a cure for that, it definitely helps with my routine of trying to use other meds besides Seroquel to get sleep every night!

I absolutely love this sleep mask! The gentle weight feels incredibly soothing and relaxing, and it blocks out light really well. The silk material is soft and comfortable against my skin, and I love that it’s easy to clean. It’s perfect for bedtime, travel, or even just relaxing when I need a little break. Definitely one of my favorite sleep accessories!

I have way too many eye masks for sleep. I started wearing one a few years ago out of necessity (east-facing bedroom, narcolepsy naps during the day) and now can’t fall asleep without one. “The ideal eye mask for sleeping” doesn’t seem to exist, so I’m always on the lookout for masks that are: - a comfy material - light-blocking - side sleeper friendly - machine-washable - weighted is nice but not necessary - not too tight around my head - quiet (e.g. no Velcro) - not too ridiculous-looking - minimal bulk My collection is primarily made up of those polyester satin ones with the elastic band, as they’re cheap and easy to get in multipacks for when the elastic eventually gets too loose. That said, I prefer a bit more weight against my eyelids, but it’s hard to find weighted ones that are machine washable — not to mention not overstuffed or scented. Nodpod checks a lot of boxes for me: weighted, machine washable, nice-looking, unique design, unlikely to get lost in the void, comfy material, light-blocking (kind of)… I’ll admit the marketing is effective, making nodpod look like a really chic, name-brand item that many people use & like more than random-no-name-brand masks. It has a price tag to match, which is a little unfortunate ($38 for the cotton one at time of writing). But this is justified enough by the lack of common points of failure (e.g. elastic, poor stitching), as well as being unlikely to lose/should last a while. Nodpod in practice: Comfort: The pockets full of polypropylene beads are a nice weight (not too bulky/overstuffed), perfectly eye-socket-shaped (lol), both the minky side & jersey side feel nice against my skin, and there’s no smell. Light blocking: Bone White looks nice on the bed/from the outside, but the cream colored fabric and clear beads let light in, so if your main need is to block out light, GET A DARKER COLOR! Fit: Technically there is a hole on one end through which the fabric on the other can be shoved to form a sort of “loose halo.” This feature only really seems to be advertised for use while sitting upright (e.g… during meditation? Or maybe for vampires?), as it is not comfortable to use this way lying down. Your head will either rest on the lumpy weighted pockets or the lumpy buttonhole with fabric jammed through it, regardless of sleeping position. I can’t imagine using it sitting up either, at least not with a skull as small as mine, as it doesn’t sit tight enough. The lack of any sort of attachment (e.g. elastic, button, Velcro, etc.) is what sets it apart, really. If you don’t want to have/need a band around your head keeping an eye mask in place the entire night, this might work well for you. I don’t move around THAT much in my sleep — I might roll over once or twice, or wake up having shifted from my side to my back — but can’t figure out how anyone else gets it to keep their eyes covered all night, unless y’all are consciously placing it over your eyes again every time you rearrange. For me, it just slides off. This is fine for the most part — if I’m fully asleep, won’t care whether I have an eye mask on, so if it ends up next to my pillow by the morning, whatever. However, the biggest problem here took me by surprise (and is quite big): having followed gravity off my face & pillow, the nodpod often ends up draped over my throat by the time I wake up. This seems sort of hazardous, no…? It’s not heavy enough to choke, but it is not so light that this doesn’t matter. It would be a solid 5-star product if there was some optional way to keep it secure, like an elastic tie at the very least, and more opaque fabric used for the lighter colors. Ultimately, I’m back and forth about whether or not to return it. I think whether or not it’ll work for you is super dependent on your sleeping habits.

As a side sleeper this has been a game changer for me, I no longer need to use blockout blinds. Nice and soft, it does slide off but I just put it back on.

Buena a secas

I used to wear a normal sleeping mask but the straps would kill the sides of my head/ears. When I came across the nodpod I was a little sceptical on how this would work. I sleep in all sorts of positions so having the loop on the back is so beneficial. But the weighted aspect is a game changer! I feel like a baby as soon as I feel the weight on my eyes. I highly recommend trying it out

It was wrapped in a box nicely. Love this product as it really can help me to fall at sleep faster

Best product purchase ever but wish I got a darker colour. White lets too much light through.
