Our Weighted Eye Mask uses physical pressure and natural materials to help the body transition into deep rest. Built for daily use, it combines a pure Turkish linen shell with a natural flaxseed and lavender fill to block out ambient light and soothe facial tension.
How it Works
Total Darkness: Light exposure can suppress melatonin, the hormone that signals sleep. A fully blacked out mask helps block environmental light that may interrupt rest.
Gentle Weighted Pressure: Evenly distributed weight around the eyes can create a calming sensory signal that encourages the body to relax.
Natural Aromatherapy: A subtle lavender scent can act as a familiar bedtime cue when used as part of a nightly routine.
Thermal Therapy: Built for both hot and cold use. Microwave the mask briefly to apply warming relief, or place it in the freezer for a cooling compress that soothes tired eyes.
Natural Materials: Breathable linen and natural filling help reduce overheating and irritation which can be caused by synthetics.
Gentle Weighted Comfort
A gentle, even weight settles around your eyes, a soft reassurance that tells your body it is safe to let go. It's the same deep, grounding pressure as a hug from someone you love or a weighted blanket: steady, natural weight that draws you down into deep, restorative rest.
Natural Aromatherapy
A subtle scent of real lavender acts as a familiar bedtime cue. Used as part of your nightly routine, it becomes a signal your body learns to recognize—time to wind down.
Hot & Cold Therapy
Pop it in the microwave and let the gentle warmth spread over your eyes, the tension and stress of the day dissolving into the dark. Overheated or puffy? Into the freezer instead, and the cold pulls the heat from tired eyes until everything goes quiet.
Natural Materials
The outside is made from Turkish linen, renowned worldwide for its incredible breathability and softness. New Zealand grown flaxseed and real dried lavender fill the mask. Unlike heat-trapping synthetics, it is naturally crafted to stay comfortable against your skin all night.
Total Blackout
Blocks every bit of ambient light, so your environment tells your body it's night. No glow from the window, no light creeping under the door—just complete darkness that makes it easier to drift into deep rest.

FAQs
No. The weight is evenly distributed and intentionally gentle. It's designed to feel grounding - not heavy or restrictive. Most customers describe it as a soft, calming pressure rather than something pressing on the eyes.
Yes. The mask is designed for overnight comfort, with evenly balanced weight and breathable materials. If you prefer, you can also use it just while falling asleep and remove it later - it works both ways.
No. The shape is designed to sit around the eyes, not directly on them. The weight is distributed to create a gentle, calming feel without unwanted pressure.
Yes. The balanced flaxseed fill naturally contours to your face, and the twin-strap design helps keep it in place without pulling or squeezing. Many side sleepers find it stays comfortable throughout the night.
Some people notice the effect straight away, while for others it builds over a few nights. Like most sleep habits, the best results come from using it consistently so your brain begins to associate it with sleep.
No — the lavender is subtle and sits in the background rather than overpowering. It’s designed as a gentle wind-down cue, not a strong fragrance. If you prefer no scent at all, an unscented option is available as a customer order (please reach out). If you’re looking for something more noticeable, you can pair it with our Sleep Mist (coming soon!) for a stronger scent experience.
We Dream It & We Make It
We spend a lot of time thinking about what we can do to sleep, and live better. It’s a challenge that has kept us up at night - metaphorically speaking.
The truth is, we sleep pretty darn well. And that’s the simple mission behind Do Not Disturb: to improve lives through better sleep, and living.
If you are wondering who makes these proven-to-perform sleep essentials - we do. Each one is made by hand in our own Auckland, New Zealand workroom. This allows us to protect our quality, our people, and our purpose.

I purchased the wool mask and the weighted mask...I like them both and it just depends on how I feel as to which one I choose. I do particularly love the weighted mask some nights. And then came along 'do not disturb ' this is a lovely mask, though not as black-out as the weighted one.
I have loved the response and interaction with the staff and their dealing with an Issue I had.

Love this mask
Thanks for the review :)
We are happy you are enjoying the mask!
-Ezra
Love scent, love weight. Fabric slight rough
Nicola,
Thanks for your purchase and thanks for the review! One of the wonderful things about linen fabric is that it naturally softens over time - you should notice this happen over time as you wear it. Please reach out if we can help!
-Ezra
Being on the spectrum, this product is a God send. It sits perfectly across my nose/eyes, smells like soothing lavender and the weight of it is just right, it doesn't allow me to keep opening my eyes.
Stacia,
Thank you so much for the purchase and taking the time to leave a review. I am so happy the mask has been helpful!
Ezra
I live the high quality feeling of the fabric. The smell of lavender is soft and welcoming for me to sleep. I feel the slight weight to the mast around my eyes helps my mind to quiet and eye to rest after a long day. I look forward to wearing it every night!
Morgan, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! I am so happy that the mask helps you find some peace after a long day.
Ezra
The sleep mask is very nice if you sleep on your back. I switch to a lighter weight one for side sleeping. Love the smell and the weight on my eyes is relaxing.
Lynne, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm so happy the mask helps you relax. I hope you will consider our Linen & Wisewool sleep mask (launching soon), which uses the same delightful linen fabric, but without the weight.
Ezra
I LOVE this eye mask! It’s the perfect weight to provide some extra relaxation and stay in place, and the smell of the lavender is soft and puts me to sleep. I recently took it on vacation with me and traveling with this eye mask made a world of difference when I normally struggle to relax when traveling. It’s a high quality product that I didn’t know I needed and now can’t live without.
Thanks for the review, Dani! We are so happy that the mask made your travels easier.

My husband and I absolutely love our sleep masks and sleep mist. There were a couple of glitches with our order to start with, but Chris and his team were incredibly responsive and sorted things out very quickly.

Hi Aimee. Thank you for taking the time to post a review and we are thrilled to hear that you and your husband love our weighted eye mask and sleep mist. We are so sorry about the original shipment issue, with delayed and damaged products. That was a first for us, and we have learned a valuable lesson about Rural Delivery service partners. We appreciate your support and understanding, and hope you continue to 'love your sleep'. 😊 Chris and the Do Not Disturb team
He loves the lavender smell and the weighted sensation . The only thing I would ask, would be if we could please make a kids size as it does slip off his face very easily as it’s an adults size.
Note: This review was originally shared on our New Zealand website.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad to hear that your son is enjoying the lavender scent and weighted sensation of our eye mask. We appreciate your suggestion for a kids size and will definitely take it into consideration for future product development. In the meantime, you can try adjusting the twin-strap 'knot' for a more secure fit. Thanks again for your support! 😊 Chris
Got the weighted sleep mask and the dream spray, both are lovely. I use them before bed when I do my yoga nidra and they really help me to settle in and get my zen on. I often use the weighted mask during my day sleeps as I'm a shift worker and it never budgets while still blocking out all the light. Thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing your feedback Maarit. We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying our Weighted Eye Mask and Sleep Mist. It's great to know that they're helping you relax and 'get your zen on'. We're also happy to hear that our mask stays in place and blocks out light during your day sleeps as a shift worker. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our products. Love your sleep. 😊Chris
Hey. I like the mask but don’t think it’s worth the price. I had purchased this as a gift for my daughter and thought to get one for myself. Was disappointed as was expecting for $75 something more than a weighted, lavender infused wheat like sack.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you don't think the Weighted Eye Mask is worth the price, but happy to hear you do like the mask itself. Using premium natural materials (Turkish stonewashed-linen, NZ-grown flaxseed and organic elastic) and making the masks in our own Auckland workroom does mean we are unable to compete on price with imported masks and/or masks made by talented sewing machinists at home. If there's anything we can do to make things right, please don't hesitate to reach out 😊Chris
Not only does the Do Not Disturb eye pad create a time for relaxing and sleeping better but my old eyes see better because the warm pad releases fluid that stops dry eyes.

Super comfortable and calming feel. Love how it's made in NZ, can be heated or cooled.

Keep mine in the freezer. It's nice and cold but runs out of coldness fast. Fir headaches I need cold for a long time, this doesn't do it for me unfortunately

Hi Hayley.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Weighted Eye Mask. We're sorry that it doesn't provide long-lasting coldness for your headaches. If the mask is not delivering you other benefits, you are welcome to return it to us, for a full refund.
:) Chris
I purchased a weighted mask to try it out as I suffer crippling migraines on a regular basis. The gentle weight on my check bones and eyes is so relaxing and comforting plus the total blocking of light. I can honestly say I had the most relaxing sleep. No joke the product is a game changer for sleep issues, relaxing, and migraine comfort. I have now purchased another 4 and gifted to family and friends. Everyone has the exact same reaction. I now can not sleep without it. Try them honestly a game changer

Hi Michele. Thank you for sharing your experience with our Weighted Eye Mask and thank you also for the additional orders. You finding the mask 'a game changer' has made the team feel very proud and we trust the mask will continue to deliver you quality sleep, relaxation and relief from migraines. Chris :)
I work as a nurse and have to do my fair share of night shifts. Sleeping in the day time is never fun, just not natural. Until my daughter in law put me into your masks the light was never able to be kept out of my eyes. My new mask doesn't let any light in at all and it's so comfortable. Love going to bed with it fresh out of the fridge, very soothing.

'Thank you for your feedback, Jo. We are so happy to hear that our weighted eye mask has helped improve your sleep during those tough night shifts. Blocking out light definitely removes a key sleep disturbance, and using it fresh out of the fridge is a great idea for added soothing benefits. Thank you for supporting New Zealand made and we hope you continue to love your sleep Chris 😊
Love it, nothing more to say!

Just adoring my sleep mask, with a newborn baby I can now sleep easily during the day and fall asleep faster at night too. This sleep mask is like my new best friend!

I bought the weighted eye mask and I am so enjoying it. When I picked up the item, Chris gave me a tour of the workshop and I was so pleased to see firsthand the amazing NZ materials being used in the workshop and meeting the people who made my eyemask. Brilliant work. I will definitely be back and will continue recommending your products.

Have tried many sleep masks and this one stays on, blocks out light so well and is nice and soft. Brilliant product.

I purchased for myself but my 9 year old son has found it really helpful with sleep so he’s claimed it and I’ll have to purchase one for me!

This is my second weighted sleep mask from you, they’re just so good. A little constructive feedback on this new one, the design is different from my original - slightly too much filling and the back elastic strap is very tight (my head is normal size), and the black linen is slightly scratchy on my skin…not as soft as the original. The feeling it’s overfilled might go away if the strap was slightly looser. Still, I love and it’s already been hi-jacked by my daughter. Thanks for making beautiful products.
Note: This review was originally shared on our New Zealand website.
Thank you for your feedback Elizabeth.
It sounds like we might have cut the elastic shorter than the pattern and I will reach out to you directly to resolve this issue.
The new design has the same fill weight as the original, so it will most likely be the 'tight fit' which is making it feel too heavy. With the 'slightly scratchy' linen we believe this will rectify itself with use, or you could accelerate softening it by rubbing it. We choose to use a 100% natural linen for these masks, but with anything that is 100% natural there are variances between batches/crops.
Thank you again for taking the time to post your feedback, and also for supporting our business & New Zealand manufacturing.

I think this is a great product. The only two complaints I have are it's not one size fits all. It's not wide enough for my big head. And it's taller than the picture. So instead of going to the top of my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose, it goes to the tip of my nose and above my eyebrows. So it doesn't really fit that well. Smells great. Looks great.

Smell great and total black out. So beautifully made. Happy to support a kiwi business!

The new design and elastic band has made the new eye mask even better than the previous one! We are loving both new weighted and wool versions.

love these eye masks! i’ve bought them as gifts and finally gave one for myself- such great quality and Kiwi owned
Note: This review was originally shared on our New Zealand website.
I came across Kindface after using a single use lavender scented eye mask in Japan and was searching for something more sustainable and that I could reuse.
After using this eye mask for over a month now, I have noticed on the nights I use the mask I have had a better night sleep and have woken up with more energy. As an overthinker, and a light sleeper I often wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. Using the eye mask helps “force” me to go back to sleep as I can’t scroll and watch videos on my phone. The lavender scent is also very calming but not overpowering and the choice of linen is very soft against my skin. I also love the fact the mask is weighted as I look at a computer all day because of my job and the weighted aspect of the mask creates a feeling as though my eyes are getting a hug and helps relive any tension around the eyes.
Would highly recommend!
