How to Choose your Sleep Mask
Silk Sleep Eye Masks for Deep, Restorative Sleep
Our award-winning ergonomic silk sleep eye masks are designed to deliver deeper, more restorative sleep, providing complete darkness without putting pressure on the eyes. Lightweight, luxurious and made to last, each mask features a unique two-tie, non-padded design. This ensures it rests gently on the forehead and cheekbones rather than the delicate eye area.
Filled with natural dried lavender flowers to offer a subtle, sleep-inducing aroma, our eye masks are recommended by sleep experts as a natural way to fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer. Unlike standard sleep masks, we guarantee that all our designs totally block out light, even ambient glow from phones, clocks and street lighting.
Quite simply, these are the very best eye masks available.
Why Total Darkness Improves Sleep Quality
Sleeping in complete darkness supports the body’s natural melatonin production. It also helps regulate circadian rhythm and improve overall sleep quality. Even low levels of ambient light can disrupt deep sleep cycles, which is why a properly fitted, light-blocking eye mask can make a noticeable difference night after night.
Why Do Our Eye Masks Use Two Ties Instead of Elastic?
One of the most common questions we’re asked is why we make our sleep masks with ties rather than elastic. The answer is simple: two soft ties allow a truly personalised fit that elasticated straps can’t always achieve.
A secure yet gentle fit ensures the mask stays comfortably in place all night without slipping or causing pressure. Once tied, the mask can be slipped on and off each night with ease. The bow sits comfortably in the hollow at the base of the skull and is so soft you won’t feel it while you sleep.
We also offer selected designs with a wide, soft velvet elasticated strap, but we recommend our two-tie design for most sleepers due to its superior comfort and light-blocking performance.
The Deluxe Silk Eye Mask is the one exception. Its larger size benefits from a gently elasticated strap, helping the lower edge stay in contact with the cheeks to deliver enhanced overnight skin-soothing benefits.
