A sleep mask for deep sleep — where silk makes the difference

Light is the most powerful sleep disruptor. Even through closed eyelids, stray light — street lighting, LED dots, an early sun — suppresses melatonin production. A good sleep mask creates total darkness, wherever you sleep.

Why not every mask works

Cheap masks press on the eye socket, rub against lashes and let light in along the nose bridge. Synthetic fabrics trap heat and sweat — exactly where the skin is thinnest. The result: you switch off the light but trade it for irritation.

The silk alternative

22 momme Mulberry silk is light, breathable and smooth. The band distributes pressure evenly, the shaped padding blocks light without touching the eyes, and the fabric doesn't draw moisture from the eye contour the way cotton does.

Deep sleep is a habit

The mask works best as a signal: putting it on means the day is done. Combine with dimmed light in the last hour and a cool bedroom. Travellers and shift workers notice the difference fastest — darkness on demand, wherever you are.

Our sleep mask is fully lined with 22 momme silk, with an adjustable band that doesn't pull at the hair. Available in every colour of the collection.
