Patented solution which provides amazing sleep while traveling. The NodPod recreates how you sleep on a bed but in an upright position.
About this project
RATIONALE: The reason it's hard to rest or sleep while traveling is because you can't keep your head, neck and back perpendicular and at a 90-degree angle similar to how you sleep in bed at night. This results in...
- Jet Lag
- Neck and Body Pain
- Awkwardly Waking Up On Your Fellow Passengers
Throw away all those useless travel pillows
Enjoy truly great sleep while traveling with the NodPod!
The ULTIMATE Travel Sleep Solution!
Here is what makes the NodPod "The Ultimate Sleep Travel Solution"...
The NodPod travel blanket is a wind and water proof, compact travel blanket that is the perfect solution for staying warm and cozy on drafty planes, trains and cars. Easily stowed in a carry on, backpack, briefcase or purse. Never use an airplane blanket again!
Features Include...
- "Open Back Design" in-order to step into the blanket all at once, which also means the blanket cannot fall off when asleep and covers you from head to toe
- Easy to slip on and off while fully seated in cramped quarters
- Optional Hood for keeping your head warm and privacy
- Front Storage Pocket perfect for keeping your smart phone or tablet while listening to music or while you sleep; theft prevention
- Ultra thin PU fabric is draft proof and moisture resistant
- Folds up into itself as a small bag for easy storage, making it easy and minimal for long journeys (both pieces designed to fit into pocket for storage - 5"x7"); see below

NodPod - Pillow
NodPod Combo - Pillow + Blanket
Hello everyone and welcome to the NodPod Kickstarter campaign.
Through extensive travels over the years as a professional commercial interior designer, I was always searching for a better way to rest on a plane, car or any form of transportation. I found traveling to be a tiring task and never quite found the perfect solution for really being able to rest on a plane or in a car.
For years I searched to find a solution for forward head motion but nothing on the market seemed to work. I also designed many prototypes for travel pillows and blankets but nothing worked as it should. All were too bulky and none solved the forward head motion issue.
The simple solution came to me while traveling on a plane to visit a friend. When I arrived back home, I sat out to create my simple and effective design and wallah... the NodPod was born !
I am very excited to bring this product to Kickstarter and see people everywhere enjoying real rest and comfort as they travel to their destinations all over the globe. This simple yet revolutionary designed product will soon change the way the whole world travels.
Thank you for your support of the NodPod and I hope you find yourself more comfortable,rested and refreshed on your next adventure.
Wishing you safe and restful travels,
Paula Blankenship
Our company is located in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky!

We will work diligently to get your orders through manufacturing as quickly as possible. If we can have them available to ship earlier than the anticipated time frame, we ship early. At this time, this is a preorder only through Kickstarter and we do not have any available to ship immediately.
-
Because the NODPOD pillow comes over the top of the seat head rest and is adjustable, it works for anyone who can wear the standard restraining device in the vehicle you are travelling in. This product is not intended to be used for infants or toddlers while in a car seat.
-
The seat back cord should be adjusted to a snug fit around the seat with the adjustable seat back cord toggle. The seat has cushion and give so the cord will contour to the seat once pulled tightly. This will prevent it from moving up or down on the seat. Once its in place, the pillow cords can be adjust left and right to ensure you are not blocking the TV monitor or tray table of the passenger behind you.
