Questions, answered.
The sock, how to use it, and exactly how the pre-sale works.
Product
What is Somnisole?
A thin, breathable sock with 45 firm silicone nubs bonded inside the sole, mapped to every reflexology zone from the toes to the heel. You press your foot into a wall, a footboard or your other foot, and the nubs do the work. It is light enough to keep on while you sleep.
Does Somnisole treat or cure anything?
No. Somnisole is a wellness product, not a medical device. It is made for achy, tired, restless-feeling feet at bedtime and for a short wind-down ritual. The zones on a reflexology map are traditional associations, and we make no claim that pressing them affects any organ or condition.
Who should not use it?
Not for feet with numbness, open wounds, diabetes-related foot problems or poor circulation without a doctor's OK. If you are pregnant or have any foot or health condition, check with your doctor first. Stop if anything hurts.
Is it as good as a foot rub from another person?
A willing pair of hands is hard to beat. The hard part is finding them at 11pm, every night, without owing one back. Somnisole is for all the other nights: the pressure is there whenever you want it, for as long as you want it, and it never says maybe tomorrow.
Are the nubs on the inside or the outside?
Inside, against your sole. The outside of the sole only has small grip dots so the sock holds on a wall or footboard. A small pad on top of the foot carries three firm nubs on the outside, for running your other sole over it.
Can I really sleep in it?
That is what it is designed for. The heel uses low, soft domes (1.5 mm) so back sleepers can rest on them, the top of the foot is open mesh, and a soft band replaces the usual tight cuff. If it ever feels uncomfortable, take it off.
Use and care
How do I use it?
Three ways. Press your sole into a wall or footboard for the deepest pressure. Press your two soles together. Or glide one sole over the nub pad on top of the other foot. Start with a few minutes and use as much or as little pressure as feels good.
What size should I order?
S fits US women's 5 to 7. M fits women's 7.5 to 10 and men's 6 to 8.5. L fits women's 10.5 to 12 and men's 9 to 11. XL fits men's 11.5 to 14. Between sizes, go down for a closer fit so the nubs stay in place.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Air dry to protect the silicone bond. No bleach and no high-heat tumble drying.
Pre-sale
When will my pair ship?
Pre-ordered pairs are estimated to ship March 2027. That window is shown on the product page, in your cart, at checkout and in your confirmation email. If it slips, we will email you with the new date and you can cancel for a full refund.
Can I cancel a pre-order?
Cancel any time before your pair ships for a full refund. If the ship date slips, we will tell you and you can cancel then too. Refunds go back to your original payment method.
Where do you ship?
Pre-orders ship within the United States. If you are elsewhere, join the list and tell us where: we will email you when we can ship to you.
Is the reservation counter real?
Yes. The number of pairs reserved is read from paid orders in our database, and refunded orders drop out. We never show invented scarcity. While the count is still small we simply do not show it.
