A silver ion is simply a charged particle of silver that we’ve bonded to our silk. You can’t see it or feel it, but it works at the microscopic level to naturally help fight bacteria. Silver has been trusted for centuries in wellness and medicine. This isn’t new science, just a smarter way to pair it with the beauty benefits of silk.

Because silver ions naturally resist bacteria, your Nodpod Silk can stay fresher up to 3–5 times longer than traditional sleep masks. Of course, things like makeup, hair products, and natural oils still build up, so we recommend washing when it feels right for you.

For the longevity and preservation of Mineralized Silk™, hand wash in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent. If you prefer machine washing, use the delicate cycle in a silk-only load. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and dry flat or hang in the shade out of direct sunlight.

Our Mineralized Silk™ is treated with silver ions, they aren’t woven into the fabric itself.

That treatment is designed to last for years of normal use. Because the fabric stays fresher 3–5 times longer between washes, most people enjoy the benefits for well over a year or two.

Over time, with repeated washing, the treatment naturally begins to fade, but you’ll always have the timeless beauty benefits of premium silk, which inherently has skin and hair soothing properties.

Nodpod was designed to be worn freely in any horizontal sleeping position. It's designed to get you to sleep, not to stay on all night. For seated and upright use we've designed a pull-through slit to fasten Nodpod in place.
