Sleep masks

Buying a sleep mask for home and travel

A sleep mask is handy when you want to sleep somewhere that is not completely dark. Think of a plane, train, hotel room, hostel or tent that lets early daylight in.

With our 3D sleep mask you block out the light around your eyes. Thanks to the pre-shaped space, the mask does not rest directly on your eyelids and eyelashes. With the adjustable strap you can easily adjust the fit.

A sleep mask comes in useful, for example:

• during a long flight;
• on the train or bus;
• in a hotel or hostel;
• while camping;
• on a night at a festival;
• at home when your bedroom does not get completely dark.

Thanks to its compact size you can easily take the mask in your hand luggage, backpack or camping kit.

Why choose a 3D sleep mask?

A traditional sleep mask often lies directly over your eyes. A 3D sleep mask has extra room around the eyes.

Our Travelhawk sleep mask has a recess of about 1.2 cm. That keeps your eyes and eyelashes free from direct pressure.

That is pleasant when you wear the sleep mask for a longer time, for example on a night flight or when you go to bed early at the campsite.

The design also fits closely around your nose to keep out as much light as possible.

An adjustable sleep mask for a good fit

A sleep mask works best when it fits closely without pinching. That is why our sleep mask has an adjustable strap with a buckle.

With it you decide how tightly the mask sits. When adjusting it, pay particular attention to the fit around your nose and at the sides.

A good fit means that:

• as little light as possible comes in along your nose;
• the mask does not sit unnecessarily tight;
• the eye space sits properly over your eyes;
• the strap stays in place while you sleep.

For extra comfort we use memory foam. Around the nose, the silk section provides a soft fit.

A sleep mask for the plane

During a long flight you have little influence over the lighting around you. Cabin lighting, screens and light from fellow passengers can make it harder to sleep.

With a sleep mask you simply block out this ambient light.

Our sleep mask weighs about 37 grams and comes with a travel pouch. That means you can easily keep it in your hand luggage without losing much extra room.

Would you also like more support for your neck during your flight? Then take a look at our neck pillows.

Using a sleep mask while camping

A tent usually does not get completely dark. In summer especially, it can therefore get light early.

A sleep mask is a simple solution when you do not want to be woken straight away by the first morning light. You do not have to change anything about your tent and you can easily store the mask again after use.

Would you like to complete your sleeping spot? Then combine the mask with a sleeping bag and a suitable sleeping mat.

Light and compact for the road

While travelling you do not want to take unnecessarily much gear. A sleep mask takes up hardly any room and fits easily among your other travel accessories.

Our model weighs about 37 grams and comes with a travel pouch. That lets you keep it separate from the rest of your luggage.

You can take the sleep mask along on:

• flights;
• backpacking trips;
• camping holidays;
• festivals;
• train and bus journeys;
• hotel stays.

Keeping your sleep mask clean easily

Do you use your sleep mask regularly? Then it is good to be able to clean it easily.

You can wash our sleep mask according to the care label at 40 °C on a gentle programme. That keeps the mask clean when you use it regularly at home or on the road.
