Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Blackout Sleep Mask made of?

The mask is made from 100% Grade 6A Mulberry Silk at 22 momme weight. Grade 6A is the highest classification for Mulberry silk, meaning the fibers are the most uniform, durable, and smooth. 22 momme is the industry standard for structural integrity — heavy enough to block light, light enough to breathe.

What does "momme" mean?

Momme (pronounced "mummy") is the unit used to measure silk density and weight. Higher momme = thicker, more durable silk. Most cheap silk products use 16-19 momme. Our masks use 22 momme, which is the sweet spot for durability and comfort.

Does it fully block out light?

Yes. The Blackout Sleep Mask is designed for total darkness — no light leakage around the nose or edges. Complete darkness helps your body produce melatonin more efficiently, leading to deeper sleep and better recovery.

Will it work for side sleepers?

Yes. The mask is lightweight and low-profile, so it doesn't shift or create pressure when you sleep on your side. The silk also reduces friction against your pillow, so it stays in place through the night.

What sizes are available?

One size fits all. The elastic strap stretches to fit comfortably. No need to measure or choose a size.

Is silk hypoallergenic?

Yes. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and fungus. It's one of the reasons dermatologists recommend silk for people with sensitive skin.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent. Air dry flat. Every 1-2 weeks is fine. Avoid hot water, bleach, fabric softener, and machine drying — these break down silk fibers.

How long does it last?

With proper care, the mask lasts for years. 22-momme silk doesn't degrade, pill, or lose its shape like lower-grade silk or synthetic alternatives. It's a one-time purchase, not a consumable.

What colors are available?

Five colorways: Silver, Maroon, Dark Gray, Brown, and Obsidian.

How much does shipping cost?

Free U.S. shipping on orders over $100. Standard shipping rates apply for orders under $100. Delivery typically takes 3-7 business days.

What's your return policy?

We want you to be happy with your purchase. Check our refund policy page for full details on returns and exchanges.

Can I use it for travel?

Absolutely. The mask is lightweight and folds flat, making it easy to pack. It's especially useful in hotel rooms, planes, and any environment where you can't control the light.

Is this only for men?

The mask is designed with men's performance and recovery in mind, but anyone can use it. The sizing, materials, and design are unisex.

How is this different from cheap silk masks on Amazon?

Three things: silk grade, momme weight, and construction. Most budget masks use low-grade silk (Grade 3-4) at 16-19 momme, which pills, degrades, and lets light through. Our mask uses Grade 6A at 22 momme — the highest quality available. The difference is noticeable from the first night.
