Sleep Masks

A sleep mask in mulberry silk, in two shapes: classic and 3D contoured. Full darkness, light pressure, and a strap that stays put.

Sleep Masks

A sleep mask for real darkness

A dark room is rarer than it sounds. There is the streetlight at the edge of the curtain, the charger glowing in the corner, the sun that arrives at five in June. A sleep mask solves all of it in one move, and a good one feels like nothing on your face.

Whether you call it a sleepmask, a night mask or a sleeping mask, it has one job: keep the light out and let you stay under. Ours is made in mulberry silk, in two shapes.

Why a sleeping mask earns its place by the bed

Light is the body's cue for morning. Take the light away and the night lasts as long as you need it to. People who build an eye mask sleep ritual tend to keep it for the same reason they keep a good pillow: once you have slept in full darkness, a bright room feels unfinished.

How to choose between sleep masks

Where it seals

Most sleep masks let light in at the nose. Look for a padded nose bridge that closes the gap. That is what makes a blackout sleep mask work in daylight.

What touches your skin

The mask rests on the thinnest skin on your face for eight hours. A silk sleep mask glides over it and stays dry and smooth, and it is gentler on lashes and brows than a rough fabric.

How it sits when you turn

Side sleepers need thin edges and a strap that adjusts. Thick seams press into the temple. Ours is thin at the sides, and the strap fits up to 26.5 inches.

Classic or 3D contoured

The classic silk eye mask lies flat, weighs almost nothing and folds into a pocket. The 3D sleep mask has contoured cups that curve away from the eye, so you can blink and your lashes touch nothing. Same silk, same strap. Pick by feel: flat and barely there, or cupped with room to blink.

Sleeping masks for travel and for giving

Every mask comes in a rigid magnetic box with a silk pouch for your bag. Sleeping masks make a rare kind of gift: small, used every night, and remembered every morning.

Questions before you settle in

What is the most comfortable sleep mask for side sleepers?

The most comfortable sleep mask for side sleepers has thin sides, soft padding and a strap that adjusts, so nothing presses into the temple against the pillow. Ours has a slim side profile, memory foam padding and a strap that fits up to 26.5 inches.

Do sleep masks really help you sleep?

Sleep masks help by removing light, which is one of the most common things that wakes people early or keeps them from settling. They are most useful in bright bedrooms, for shift workers and daytime naps, and on planes and in hotels where you cannot control the room.

Is a contoured eye mask better than a flat one?

A contoured eye mask is better if you dislike pressure on your eyelids or wear lash extensions, because the cups curve away from your eyes. A flat mask is better if you want the lightest, most packable option. We make both shapes in the same silk.

Can I wear a night mask every night?

Yes, a night mask can be worn every night. Choose a soft, breathable fabric such as silk, adjust the strap so it holds without squeezing, and hand wash the mask every week or two to keep it fresh against your skin.

Are sleep masks for women different from a mens sleep mask?

Sleep masks for women and a mens sleep mask are usually the same product in a different color or strap length. Ours is one adjustable size that fits up to 26.5 inches, so the same mask suits most heads and hairstyles.
