You know the feeling — lying in bed exhausted, but your mind refuses to switch off. The clock creeps past midnight, then 2am, and you’re still awake replaying the day or worrying about tomorrow. By morning, you drag yourself out of bed foggy, irritable, and not at all ready for the day ahead. It’s not for lack of trying — you’ve cut the caffeine, darkened the room, even tried supplements — but nothing seems to bring the deep, effortless rest you crave.
The truth is, your sleep isn’t broken — your nervous system is overstimulated. Light sneaks in, thoughts won’t stop racing, and your body doesn’t feel safe enough to let go. That’s where the Weighted Eye Mask comes in. With gentle pressure, complete darkness, and the calming touch of lavender, it tells your body the night can finally begin.
Because sleep isn’t just about closing your eyes. It’s about waking up calm, clear, and patient again — feeling like yourself. For so many people, this little ritual has been the turning point: from dreading bedtime to looking forward to it. And that’s what this mask is here to give you — not just rest, but your life back.

Heating
Use microwave only. DO NOT use a gas or electric oven.
Microwave heating times will vary due to appliances. Add a mug of water next to the product when heating.
The water provides hot moisture which is absorbed, preventing the flaxseed and linen from overheating and burning. Ensure the Eye Mask can rotate freely on the microwave turntable. Heat in a clean microwave for 90 seconds. This should make it hot enough to be a comfortable, but non-burning temperature. You may warm it further in 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached.
Cooling
Pack your Eye Mask inside a clean plastic bag (provided during shipping) and place in the fridge or freezer for a minimum of 2 hours. The Eye Mask will not become an ice block if you leave it in the freezer for an extended time. Remove from the bag and apply directly to skin.
Why choose the weighted eye mask
A Hug For Your Eyes
Picture yourself slipping into bed and pulling on the mask. The world fades to complete darkness — no glow from streetlights, no distractions, just stillness. The gentle weight settles over your eyes like a calming hug, while the soft scent of lavender tells your mind it’s safe to let go.
Your breathing slows, the racing thoughts ease, and for the first time in a long while, sleep feels effortless. What once felt like a nightly battle becomes a quiet, soothing ritual you can look forward to.
Calm, Whenever You Need It
This mask isn’t just for bedtime. Warm it to ease dry, tired eyes after a long day on screens, or to melt away facial tension before you sleep. Chill it to soothe puffiness, migraines, or simply to bring cool relief on a warm afternoon.
It’s a small ritual with a big impact — whether you’re pausing between meetings, taking a restorative nap, or winding down before bed. No pills, no gadgets — just natural linen, flaxseed, and lavender working together to help you feel clear, calm, and ready for whatever comes next.
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.

Customer Reviews
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!
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.

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.
FAQS

Yes. The mask is gently weighted with Canterbury-grown flaxseed, applying light, even pressure that’s safe for daily use. Many customers find this calming, as the pressure can stimulate facial pressure points and help the nervous system relax.
It can. The mask blocks out light, provides calming pressure, and can be cooled to ease hot flush discomfort at night. Many women in perimenopause or menopause find it helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Yes. At checkout, you can choose a scent-free version that offers the same blackout and gentle pressure benefits without the calming lavender aroma.
Lavender scent naturally fades over time. Many customers enjoy the aroma for several months, and it can be refreshed by gently squeezing the mask to release more fragrance or adding a drop of lavender essential oil to the inner seam.
Each mask is handcrafted in our Auckland workshop using locally sourced, eco-friendly materials — including stonewashed linen, Canterbury-grown flaxseed, and dried lavender.
