I bought one of these in Black a few months back. It worked so well for me, but then a coworkers little sister was going through chemo and couldn’t sleep, so I recommended she try one. I gave her my original one and it was the first night she was able
To sleep, and they were in the hospital with beeps and interruptions and hourly nurse visits and all of that. I replaced mine, and I am still thrilled with the product. As a pharmacist when recommending patients try sleep hygiene before they resort to medicine, this is one of the products I recommend to try (especially if my parents are elderly and a fall risk if they add medicine that could make them dizzy or out of it. This is an amazing product. The way it secures onto your head sets it apart from similar products offered on amazon.
I'm suffering from terrible insomnia due to perimenopausal symptoms (hot flashes, etc) which has led to sleep anxiety. The weight of the mask is perfect. It helped when I had a migraine (only a little because, well it was a migraine) but did help me tolerate a tension headache. There are two sides of different material. The jersey knit side is helping my head stay cool. I believe the fleece side will be warmer but at this time in my life, I don't need warmer even though it is a cold winter here this year. It wraps around and stays...and more importantly is comfortable. I have no problem sleeping on my side. It is comfortable (sometimes I need to adjust it a bit though to get really comfy). It totally blocks out light. In fact, I slipped it off to see what time it was and was surprised to see it was 7am and very light (I thought my hubby turned the light on). If you wear earplugs like I do, you can adjust the sides to cover your ears so they don't pop out. I am extremely happy with this weighted eyemask and will recommend it over and over again.
I CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS THING!!!
I have terrible migraines, and the pressure that this puts on my head, eyes is so relaxing. I use it to sleep all the time, even when I don't have a migraine. I love the weighted feel of it and the fact that I can choose which of the two fabrics I want against my face. There is also a cool "buttonhole" that you pull one end through to secure the mask around your head and it works so nicely. Light is blocked out, outside sound seems reduced, and when I want to wear headphones, I feel like they're a little more secure.
There's something about placing this weighted thing on my eyes when I'm tossing and turning that lulls me back to sleep. The shape of it is a bit weird--it's not a typical eye mask, it's much bulkier and doesn't fasten on in the same way--but once you get beyond that, this can really be a beautiful thing. I keep it on my bedside table and use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep (which happens often) or once the sun rises and I want to sleep in a little more. If you have sleep issues I'd recommend trying this novel product.
For health reasons I needed to begin sleeping on my back with my arms at my sides. BIG problem is that I can't sleep without a gentle cover for my eyes. I tried mask, eye pillows, and light down pillows with little satisfaction. THIS ITEM is perfectly soft and cool - and provides a gentle soothing pressure that makes me feel so relaxed! It's the perfect weight and proportions and it's well-built to lay gently across my face and stay pretty well put for the night with each end laying out over my pillow. Additionally, the feature to wrap it around my head is great for sleeping while sitting up. Best thing ever!!

One side, made of cooling jersey cotton, other side with warm microfiber fleece Each pod equally weighted with scent-free soothing microbeads (PE) Machine Washable and Dryer Safe US Patent# 9,138,086 and other Patents Pending
The mask is a little lighter than I expected, I have to manipulate the beads to keep the weight on my eye sockets, otherwise the length of the mask shifts the weight across the head .My doctor wanted me to sleep with weighted eye mask to keep my eyelids closed as I'm experiencing dry eye. It's comfortable, and stays in place if i stay on my back. If I roll on my side it initially stays in place, but if I awake on my side it has slipped off. I like the fact that I don't need a band around my head but It can be comfortably attached if you want. It can't be heated or chilled, so I must use another mask for warm/cold compresses.
Well, I wake up frequently throughout the night, always have BUT ive noticed when I sleep with the nodpod, if I wake up, i fall back asleep almost immediately due to the gentle pressure. Its a really great product. Fits comfortably, its soft, and it blocks out the light. I may be purchasing some for my friends around christmas!
Who knew that a weighted eye mask would allow me to sleep all night long? I love how comfortable and convenient the nod pod is. As a side sleeper, I worried that the beads would be bulky and uncomfortable, but I find that it is quite the opposite. I am very happy with this purchase.
I cannot imaging going to bed without my nodpod anymore. I love these. I have sinus problems, migraines, anxiety, dry eyes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bedtime is often a struggle, just trying to get comfortable. I purchased one of these last year and loved it so much that I needed a second one just in case I lost the first. It applies just the right amount of pressure without being uncomfortable. It molds to your face. I love that I can "tuck in" the long edges to wrap around my head if I want a little more pressure or to keep it from slipping down when I sleep in my recliner on particularly painful nights. It's like a mini weighted blanket for your face. It is just perfect and it is very sturdy. Pretty much all the other types of eye masks that I have purchased have broken or worn out. I have bought them all. This one is a resilient beast. I love it!
I have become a huge fan of the Nod Pod. Not only does it block out all light, but the gentle pressure does help relax me into sleep. I now look forward to having it as part of my nightly sleep hygiene.
It seems to stay put all night long as I frequently wake up in the morning with it still on my face. I haven’t tried securing it as I haven’t needed to. I’ve even woken up in the morning not knowing what time it was bc it blocks out the light so well. Love it!
