Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask with Velcro Strap

Some rooms are never quite dark enough. This The9thHour sleep mask is cut from 100% mulberry silk and lightly padded so it rests almost weightlessly on your lids, with nothing pressing against your lashes while you settle. A shaped nose wing closes the gap along the bridge of the nose, which is exactly where streetlight, a partner's reading lamp or early daylight usually slips through and pulls you back out of a deep, unbroken rest.

Silk earns its place here. The fibre is smooth, breathable and gentle against the delicate skin around the eyes, so it will not tug or crease the way a coarse cotton band can over seven or eight hours. It stays cool in warm months, holds a little warmth in cold ones, and lets the small amount of moisture your skin releases overnight escape instead of sitting against your face until morning.

That makes it as useful in seat 24B as it is in your own bed. It folds flat into a carry-on, a desk drawer or a bedside table and weighs next to nothing. Use it for a twenty-minute reset between meetings, a red-eye flight, a night shift, or a full night at home. Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry so the silk keeps its softness.
