Made for side sleepers
The sleep headband you can lie on.
Earbuds were built for the commute. Nodband is built for the pillow: flat speakers in a soft band, so you can fall asleep to your story on either side.
Turn over. Nothing presses.
Your story, your own bed.
Speakers sit flat, outside your ears.
Electronics lift out. Band washes.
Not a medical device. Individual results vary.

Why it is different
Built for the side you sleep on.
A headband with speakers is not new. One made for the pillow is: every part of Nodband is there so your ear can rest on it.
An earbud on your side
A hard shell between your ear and the pillow. It presses in all night.
Nodband on your side
A flat speaker inside soft fabric, sitting outside your ear.
- Either side. Both speakers stay with you when you turn over.
- Nothing in your ears. Nothing to press in, nothing to fall out.
- 60 nights to check. If it bothers you on your side, tell us and keep it.
It isn't you. It's the earbuds.
Falling asleep to a podcast, a story or the rain is normal. Earbuds were built for the commute, and a pillow is not a commute.

It presses.
A hard shell in your ear is fine on your back. On your side, the pillow pushes it in all night.
It falls out.
You turn over, and the earbud stays behind somewhere in the duvet.
You pick an ear.
One bud in, then you swap it to the other ear every time you change sides.
With a soft band, the same night goes like this.
Nothing in your ear
The speakers are flat and sit outside it, inside the fabric.
Nothing to lose
It is one band around your head. It turns when you turn.
Either side
Both speakers stay with you, so there is nothing to swap.
Most things for your ears were built for somewhere else.
None of these are bad. They were made for a different job.

Stay in your own bed.
He is asleep in seconds. You lie there listening, doing the maths on the hours left. Some nights you take your pillow to the sofa.
With rain in your ears, your mind has something else to follow. You stay where you are, next to him.
“I often lay there absolutely raging because he's asleep and I'm not.”From a public Mumsnet thread about snoring. Not a Nodband customer.
The honest part: it masks his snoring. It doesn't cancel it. On very loud nights, soft earplugs underneath help.
What it does. What it doesn't.
You have been let down by a gadget before. So here is all of it, on one screen.
What it does
- Plays whatever you fall asleep to, from any app on your phone.
- Lets you lie on either side with nothing in your ears.
- Gives your mind something else to follow next to a snorer.
- Comes apart, so the band can be washed.
What it doesn't
- Cancel or block snoring. It masks it.
- Treat insomnia, tinnitus or any condition. It is not a medical device.
- Sound like studio headphones. It is made for voices, rain and white noise.
- Suit every head. Some people find any headband warm, which is why you get 60 nights.

Our mission
Bedtime should be something you look forward to.
Nobody buys a headband for the headband. You buy the night you want: your story, your side of the bed, lights out. We make one band, and we say plainly what it does and what it doesn't.
For the ones who look forward to bed.
The questions you'd ask us in person.
Short, straight answers. Including the ones that don't flatter us.
Still not sure? Email gustify.inc@gmail.com and a person will answer.
Will it stay on when I turn over?
It is a stretch knit band that sits across your forehead and over your ears, so it turns when you turn. Heads differ, and that is what the 60 nights are for. If it rides up on you, tell us and we refund you.
Does it block snoring?
No. It masks snoring by giving your mind something else to follow, like rain on the roof. It does not cancel it. On very loud nights, soft earplugs underneath help.
Is the sound any good?
It is made for voices, rain and white noise at a low sleep volume. It is clear enough to follow a story. It is not built for bass or for studio listening.
Will the battery last the night?
It plays for 5 to 10 hours per charge, depending on volume, and recharges in 1 to 3 hours. If you listen all night, keep the volume low or use your app's sleep timer.
Can I wash it?
Yes. Lift the electronics out first, then wash the band. The electronics themselves must stay dry.
Will it be too warm?
It is a knit fabric band, and some people run warm in any headband. If that is you, you have 60 nights to find out, and you keep the band either way.
Can my partner hear it?
The speakers sit inside the band and face your ears. At a low sleep volume it is far quieter for the room than a phone speaker.
Isn't this the cheap one from Amazon?
You can find similar-looking bands for less. What you get here is 60 nights to try it, up to 2 years of warranty, free shipping protection and a person who answers your email.
How does the 60-night trial work?
Your 60 nights start the day it is delivered. Not for you? Email us, keep the band, and we refund your first order. One refund per customer.
When will it arrive?
Orders take 2 to 4 days to process and 8 to 15 working days to arrive in the US. Shipping is free, and if a parcel is lost or damaged we reship it once at no cost.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase. Nothing renews.

Nights that went differently.
The good, the fine and the "runs a bit warm". All of it.
Finally a full night of sleep. My husband snores and this band with rain sounds blocks it completely. I wake up actually rested.
I listen to podcasts every night and earbuds always fell out. This stays put. I have gone through three episodes without waking up.
Bought this after jaw surgery when I could not use earbuds. Three months later it is still part of my routine every single night.
Comfortable and it works. Battery lasted me about six hours on medium volume. I charge it in the morning and it is ready by night.
Light sleeper, tried white noise machines and they kept my partner awake. This plays only for me and the speakers are surprisingly clear.
I was skeptical about sleeping in a headband. First night, I did not feel it. Second night, I realized I had slept seven straight hours.
Gave one to my mother for Christmas. She called me the next morning and said it was the best present she has ever gotten.
Took about a week to get used to wearing it. Now it feels normal. Only wish the band came in more colors.
Menopause insomnia had me up at 3 AM every night. Sleep meditations through this band got me back to five solid hours.
I work night shifts and need to sleep during the day. Brown noise through this band blocks out the neighborhood. Game changer for me.
Sound quality is good for what it is. Not studio headphones, but I listen to audiobooks and they come through clear enough to follow.
The band is decent but runs a bit warm for me on summer nights. Winter it is perfect. Keeping it for the cold months.
Your story. Your side of the bed. Lights out.
