Weighted Eye Mask
30 nights to love it, or your money back.
A gently weighted mask that gives you total darkness and helps your body switch off. The soft, even pressure settles you, and a subtle note of real lavender tells your brain it is time for sleep.
Handcrafted in our Auckland workroom from stonewashed Turkish linen and NZ grown flaxseed. No synthetic gel, no trapped heat. It rests around your eyes, not on them, and stays put all night, even for side sleepers.
Warm it before bed to unwind. Cool it to ease tired eyes after a long day. One mask that does both.
At the Do Not Disturb Sleep Company, when we are fortunate enough to make a sale, we believe that’s the start of our job. Our job is not done until our customers (hopefully you) love their sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and happy.
So, we are proud to offer a 30-night ‘Love Your Sleep’ Promise. If the sleep essential you purchase isn’t delivering to your expectations, you can return it within 30 nights to get a full refund, excluding shipping cost (if applicable). What’s the reason we can make this promise? Because our products work, and because we genuinely care.

Heating: Microwave only, never a gas or electric oven. Place the mask in a clean microwave with a mug of water beside it, and make sure it can rotate freely. Heat for 45 seconds, then test it against your hand. If you want it warmer, add 30-second bursts until it feels right. Always test the temperature before applying to skin.
Cooling: Place the mask inside a clean plastic bag and refrigerate or freeze for at least 2 hours. Remove from the bag and apply directly to skin. The flaxseed fill cools comfortably without becoming rock hard.
Spot clean only with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge in water — the flaxseed inner can’t be washed.
If your mask becomes wet, dry it immediately. A dehumidifier works best, or allow it to air dry fully in the sun. Do not microwave the mask if it is damp or wet.
If you prefer a fully washable option, explore our non-weighted Wisewool™ Sleep Mask.
How the Mask Supports Better Sleep
Sleep happens when the body receives the right signals.
Total Darkness
Light exposure can suppress melatonin, the hormone that signals sleep, and eyelids alone allow light to pass through. The fully blackout fit blocks light completely, so nothing interrupts the signal to sleep.
Gentle Weighted Pressure
Evenly distributed pressure is a safety signal to the nervous system. It can help shift the body from alert mode to rest mode, the same principle behind weighted blankets.
Aromatherapy
Scent reaches the brain’s memory and emotion centres faster than any other sense. Used nightly, a subtle note of lavender becomes a learned cue. Over time, the scent alone can start the wind-down towards sleep.
Soothing Warmth
Falling asleep depends on a gentle drop in core body temperature, and warming the skin helps that happen. It is the same principle as a warm bath before bed. Warmed in the microwave, the flaxseed fill gives soft, even heat that fades to neutral as you drift off.
Three Natural Materials
Nothing synthetic against your skin. Three natural materials, plus organic elastic straps.
Stonewashed Turkish linen, certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which means every thread is tested safe against skin. Pure natural fibre that’s breathable and made to last.
Grown in New Zealand. It gives the mask its gentle, even weight, holds warmth from the microwave and cold from the freezer, and won’t scorch or go stale.
Dried lavender flowers mixed through the fill. A subtle scent that sits in the background as a wind-down cue, never overpowering.
We Dream It, And 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 workroom, which is a rarity these days. This allows us to protect our quality, our people, and our purpose.

FAQ
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.
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 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.
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.
Warm it when you want to unwind: before bed, or when your eyes feel dry and heavy at the end of the day. Cool it to refresh after long screen time, on hot nights, or to ease tired, puffy eyes. At room temperature it works as a classic blackout mask. Because the fill is natural flaxseed, the temperature fades gently back to neutral as you fall asleep.
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. If you’re looking for something more noticeable, you can pair it with our Sleep Mist for a stronger scent experience.
