Three signals, one mask
Each signal is designed to calm your nervous system, is grounded in sleep research and helps you take back control of bedtime.
Gentle, grounding weight
195 grams of flaxseed rests around your eyes, not on them. It's the same calming feeling as a weighted blanket, made for your face.
Total darkness
Streetlights, early mornings, the glow of a partner's phone. The contoured shape blocks it all out, in any sleeping position.
Real lavender
Dried lavender flowers are sewn into the fill. Subtle, never perfumey. Night after night, the scent becomes your cue to let go.
Built-in extras
-
Heat therapy
For the days you need extra relief, the mask can be gently warmed in the microwave. Perfect for soothing tension or relieving screen-tired eyes.
-
Cold therapy
The mask can be placed in the freezer for at least an hour. Ideal for cooling down, reducing puffiness or just refreshing.

It blocked out light completely, but also the feeling of it on the face sends you back into a deep sleep straight away!

I honestly believe I have been experiencing deeper restorative sleep... I don't wake up feeling tired.
Tracey

Transformed my sleep quality literally overnight. I am waking up so much more refreshed after a great sleep. Can't sleep without it now!

The gentle weight on my cheekbones and eyes is so relaxing and comforting, plus the total blocking of light... I have now purchased another 4 and gifted to family and friends.

Around your eyes, not on them
Built for all-night comfort, daytime naps, meditation and long-haul travel.
-
On your brow
The upper channel rests along your brow bone, carrying the weight away from your eyes.
-
Around your eyes
Your eyes sit in the recess between the channels, so there's no pressure on your eyelids.
-
On your cheekbones
The lower channels settle on your cheekbones for even weight and a light-tight seal.
Three natural materials
No gel, no plastic beads, no synthetic fill.
The linen
Stonewashed Turkish linen that softens with every night of use, independently tested for harmful substances.
The flaxseed
Grown in New Zealand. It gives the mask its soft, even weight and molds to your face instead of pressing on one spot.
The lavender
Dried flowers mixed through the fill, not oil or synthetic fragrance. Prefer none? Choose Without lavender in the buy box.
Gentle weight, full blackout
195 grams of gentle, even weight and full blackout coverage. The mask rests on the bone around your eyes rather than on the eyes themselves, so it stays comfortable through the night, including for side sleepers.
Handcrafted in our Auckland, New Zealand workroom from stonewashed Turkish linen, NZ grown flaxseed and dried lavender flowers. No synthetic gel, no trapped heat, nothing against your skin that is not a natural fiber.
Warm it in the microwave to unwind before bed. Cool it in the freezer to ease tired eyes after a long day. One mask, both ways.
Size and fit
Dimensions: 10in x 4in, 195 grams.
Deliberately oversized. The mask covers temple to temple and sits from your brow to your cheekbone, so it is taller than a standard sleep mask by design. That is what gives you full blackout coverage and even weight distribution. If you prefer a smaller, lighter mask, our Linen & Wisewool™ Sleep Mask is 25 grams.
Custom fit, just knot it. Heads come in all shapes and sizes, so we keep it simple and hardware-free. The twin-strap elastic ties to your exact comfort. Too loose? Tie a new knot where it feels right and snip off the excess.
The straps can be replaced. Most sleep masks become landfill the moment the elastic stretches out. Thanks to the side channel design, you can thread a fresh piece of elastic through the side seams whenever you need to.
Materials
Handcrafted in our Auckland workroom from:
- Turkish stonewashed linen shell, independently tested for harmful substances. This is the layer against your skin.
- New Zealand-grown flaxseed, which gives the mask its gentle, even weight.
- Dried lavender flowers mixed through the fill, or choose without.
- Adjustable cotton and rubber twin strap.
- Cotton travel pouch included.

The moment the day lets go
Lie back and settle it around your eyes. The weight sinks in, the room goes dark, and your breathing slows.
Wear it all night, or just until you drift off.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mask heavy or uncomfortable?
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.
Will it put pressure on my eyes?
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.
Is it comfortable for side sleepers?
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.
Can I wear it all night?
Yes. The mask is designed for overnight comfort, with evenly balanced weight and breathable materials. You can also wear it just while falling asleep and remove it later.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
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.
Is the lavender scent strong?
No. The lavender is subtle and sits in the background. It's designed as a gentle wind-down cue, not a strong fragrance. If you'd prefer no scent at all, choose Without lavender when you order. For something more noticeable, pair it with our Sleep Mist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, a 30-night sleep trial. If it isn't helping you sleep, we'll send a prepaid return label and refund you in full. Read the return policy.

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.

I've finally found the secret to sleeping like a baby (minus the 3 am feedings)! the weighted eye mask is the real MVP. Made in NZ with love (and possibly a few sheep's whispers), this mask can be a cool or warm hug for my peepers. The weights are like tiny therapists, gently convincing my brain to calm down and snooze. I'm now a sleep ninja – sneaking in zzz's like a pro! Thanks, Kind Face, for 'Making Better Sleep' and turning me into a morning person (well, almost)!
I purchased a duvet inner, mattress topper and sleep mask. Each item has far surpassed my expectations and I cannot be happier with my purchase. On top of amazing quality items, the company has excellent communication and made me feel like a very valued customer.
Hi Beka, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that your duvet inner, mattress topper, and sleep mask have exceeded your expectations. It means a lot to hear you felt valued and well looked after. Enjoy your restful nights and love your sleep ♥️💤 Chris 😊
I absolutely love it! The weight is perfect and smell is calming and just smells great! I use it as a night time routine and helps to wind down from the day so I can sleep better.
I wanted to love it, but it can feel heavy and makes me feel claustrophobic after about 45 min. It’s to thick, and I think a thinner version would be ideal for sensitive people such as myself. I can’t explain it any other way. Quality is nice, but the bands are done cheap. They are basic elastic sewing strips. That could use an up grade. Glad I gave it a try but not for me.
Jennifer,
Thanks so much for the order and thanks for leaving us a review. The weight is gentle but occasionally people do find it uncomfortable. We just launched the Linen & Wisewool Sleep Mask, which features the same breathable linen with a lightweight wool filling. I hope you will consider our products in the future!
-Ezra
Best eye mask ever - have brought three now for people. It blocked out light completely but also the feeling of it on the face sends you back into a deep sleep straight away !
Thank you for the 5 star review Emma 🙏 Not only do we appreciate you taking the time to post the review, but we are also grateful for your continued support... and it helps us get out of bed knowing what we make, is helping our amazing customers sleep better 💤 Chris 😊
I was drawn to the weighted concept and lavender smell but thought what idiot spends this much money on a mask? Well I caved anyway with all the rationalizations one uses to buy something they really want. I am so glad that my heart won the battle. I was blown away with the quality and unimaginable comfort. I fell in love with it out of the box and now understand the price. Worth every red cent. I can’t live without it. Delicious!
Denise,
Thanks for your purchase and thanks for taking the time to write us this glowing review. I am so happy that you love the mask! I hope it continues to bring you comfort.
Ezra
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
Fantastic product but delivery was ridiculously slow, almost 2 weeks to arrive (inside new zealand door to door), would be great if there was an option for fast courier, but id still have to say well worth the wait
Hi Peter. Thank you for your order, and also for taking the time to post a review. We are happy that you love the Weighted Eye Mask, but are so sorry it took 9 days to reach you. This is an anomaly, and I wish we could work out why the package was stuck between Auckland and Christchurch for 7 days. Thank you for your understanding and we hope the mask continues to works its magic for you 😊 Chris
Great fit, comfortable and relaxing.
I use it most nights, a quick zap in the microwave and onto the eyes to destress and resting the eyes from a day in the office and screens.
Thank you for posting your thoughts on the Weighted Eye Mask, Winston. We are so happy to hear the mass fits you well, is comfortable and works its magic. 😊 Chris
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.
Ezra
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.
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 :)
After purchasing a weighted mask from elsewhere that had the strongest odour and was way too heavy. But I’m grateful to them as that helped me to search better and find this lovely company. I have the weighted eye mask that has a gentle and natural scent of lavender, the weight is also quite gentle but just right and the other thoughtful ingredients and service are also just right :)
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 😊
