100% Mulberry Silk 3D Sleeping Mask
100% Mulberry Silk 3D Sleeping Mask
The Nyla Rest Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask is a 100% 19 momme mulberry silk sleep mask with a 3D contoured structure, an adjustable no-slip strap, and a matching silk pouch for storage or travel. Made for people who want a silk sleep mask that treats the skin, hair, and eyes gently overnight, at a price that reflects the actual silk tier used.
The mask sits away from the eyelashes and eye area entirely, and blocks light completely across the eye zone. Wearable at home, on flights, and during daytime naps.
What a mulberry silk sleep mask does overnight
Six benefits that follow directly from what the silk mask does physically: block light, sit gently on the face, and behave differently to cotton or synthetic mask fabrics under contact with skin and hair.
Deeper, uninterrupted sleep
Complete light blocking across the eye zone. Even low ambient light interferes with melatonin production and pulls the body out of deep sleep cycles. Wearing the mask lets the body settle into restorative sleep whether streetlights are filtering through curtains or the sun is rising early.
Kinder to skin overnight
Ultra-smooth mulberry silk creates almost no friction against the face. Unlike cotton or polyester, it doesn't tug at delicate skin as the head moves through the night, so the mask helps reduce the sleep creases that appear on the temples and cheeks by morning.
Naturally hypoallergenic
Mulberry silk is a protein fibre that doesn't harbour dust mites, mould or bacteria the way cotton and synthetics can. Suitable for sensitive skin, for people with rosacea or eczema, and for anyone who wears the mask nightly as part of a considered skin routine.
Temperature-regulating overnight
Silk protein has a natural thermoregulating property: it feels cool against the skin in summer and holds a light warmth in winter. The mask stays comfortable across seasons and through hot flashes or menopausal sleep disruption.
Safe for lash extensions and eye makeup
The 3D contoured design lifts the fabric away from the eye area entirely. No pressure on lash extensions, no rubbing against overnight eye makeup or eye creams, no friction against the eyelids while turning through the night.
Restful travel and daytime naps
Complete darkness across flights, hotel stays, night shifts, and short daytime naps. The silk pouch is designed to slip into a carry-on or overnight bag without adding weight, so the mask travels with you rather than staying on the nightstand.
What this silk sleep mask is made of
Every relevant material and construction detail, published openly. Silk masks are often sold on marketing language rather than specification, so these are the numbers you need to compare Nyla Rest against another silk mask honestly.
Why 19 momme is the right silk for this price
Momme is the industry measurement for silk density. Higher momme means thicker, denser silk. The three most common tiers for silk sleep masks and pillowcases sit at 19, 22, and 25 momme.
19 momme mulberry silk is the standard tier of real silk masks. It offers all the silk benefits (hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, low-friction) at a starting price point. If you want denser silk with a longer expected lifespan, the higher tiers are worth the price step — but for most nightly wearers, 19 momme is the right point on the value curve.
How to look after a silk sleep mask
Silk is more delicate than cotton and needs to be washed by hand or on a very gentle cycle to preserve the fibre. Cared for properly, a mulberry silk sleep mask will last several years of nightly use.
- Hand wash in cool waterBelow 30°C. Use a silk-specific detergent or a small amount of a mild pH-neutral soap. Avoid biological detergents, bleach, and fabric softener, which damage the silk fibre.
- Machine wash only on delicateIf the washing machine has a silk or delicate cycle, use that with a mesh laundry bag. Cool water only, no spin, no tumble dry.
- Do not wring or twistPress the water out gently between two clean towels. Wringing distorts the silk fibre and creates permanent creases.
- Air dry flat, away from direct sunlightDirect sunlight yellows silk over time. Dry flat on a towel or drying rack indoors, out of direct light.
- Iron on the silk setting only, if neededMost creases fall out during drying. If ironing is needed, use the silk setting on the reverse side, with a light pressing cloth.
- Store in the silk pouch when travellingThe included pouch protects the mask from friction and dust between uses.
Silk sleep mask, answered
What is momme, and why does 19 momme matter?
Momme is the industry-standard measurement of silk density, similar to thread count for cotton. 19 momme is the standard tier for silk sleep masks (Slip's Silky Sleep Mask sits at this weight), 22 momme is the mid-premium tier, and 25 momme is luxury. Nyla Rest is 19 momme, honestly stated, at £34.99. Slip's 19 momme mask is £50.
Is this the same as a silk eye mask?
Yes. "Silk sleep mask" and "silk eye mask" are used interchangeably in the UK market. The product covers the eye area to block light for sleep. Some brands use one term, some the other.
What does 3D contoured mean?
The mask is shaped with raised sections over each eye, so the silk sits above the eyelids and lashes rather than resting flat against them. No pressure on the lashes, no contact with eye makeup or eye creams applied at night, no rubbing against the eyelids while sleeping.
Can I wear this with lash extensions?
Yes, the 3D structure is designed with lash-extension wearers in mind. The eye area is lifted away from the fabric, so there is no compression on the lashes as the head moves through the night.
How do I wash a silk sleep mask?
Hand wash in cool water (below 30°C) with a silk-specific detergent or a mild pH-neutral soap. No bleach, no fabric softener, no wringing. Press dry between towels and air dry flat away from direct sunlight. Full instructions in the care section above.
Is silk better than satin for a sleep mask?
Silk is a natural protein fibre; satin is a weave that can be made from silk, polyester, or other fibres. A satin sleep mask made from polyester will feel similar to silk but lacks silk's natural hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating properties. 100% mulberry silk is the more skin-friendly, breathable choice.
How does the strap adjust?
The strap is adjustable elastic with a no-slip design, so it fits all head sizes comfortably without leaving marks by morning. The mask stays in place through side-sleeping and turning.
Does the pouch come with every mask?
Yes. Every Nyla Rest Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask ships with a matching 19 momme mulberry silk pouch for storage and travel. The pouch protects the mask from friction and dust between uses.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Nyla Rest currently ships within the United Kingdom only. Standard delivery is £2.99 (3-5 days), next day is £4.99, and delivery is free on orders over £20.
