Le Petit Dormeur Sleep Mask – Made in France – Velvet Black

Darkness you can actually sleep in

Airline blindfolds are flat, scratchy and leak light at the nose. This mask is shaped to follow the curves of your face, so it seals out cabin lights, early sun and the glow of a neighbour's screen — the signal your body needs to switch off, in a seat or in your own bed. It keeps working once you're home, too — see our guide on how to get over jet lag for how to use it during the first few nights back.

No headache, no hair-pulling

The strap is fully adjustable, so it fits any head without the tight elastic that leaves a mark by morning. It rests gently over the eyes rather than pressing on them. The plush velvet exterior and soft lining give it a gentle, comforting weight — the one for winter nights and long overnight flights. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified: independently tested for harmful substances, which matters on something that rests on your face for hours.

Made in France

Le Petit Dormeur designs and makes its sleep masks in France, hand-assembled in workshops that provide work for people with disabilities. Maison Pont is the official UK stockist, so it ships from UK stock.

Questions

Does it block all light?
Yes — the contoured shape follows your face, so it blocks cabin lights, morning sun and screens rather than leaking light at the edges.

Will it press on my eyes?
No. The strap is fully adjustable, so you set it to hold the mask in place without pressure on the eyes.

How do I wash it?
By hand, or in the machine at 20°C at most on a delicate or wool cycle. Dry it flat.

What does OEKO-TEX certified mean?
That the fabric has been independently tested for harmful substances and passed — the reassurance you want on something that sits against your eyes for hours.

Does it match the travel pillow?
Yes — it comes in the same four colourways as the 3-in-1 travel pillow, and you can buy the pair as a set for less.
