Nidra Deep Rest Contoured Sleep Mask

This is one of the simplest travel essentials to pack. The contoured shape sits away from your eyes and blocks light on red-eye flights, in bright airport lounges and in hotel rooms with thin curtains. It weighs almost nothing, tucks into a personal item or laptop bag, and suits vacation travellers and business travellers alike — anyone trying to rest between connections or arrive at a morning meeting a little less wrecked.

  • Packs flat into a personal item or laptop bag
  • Useful for red-eye flights and long layovers
  • Helps keep a hotel room dark on vacation
  • Compact addition to a business-travel kit
