Weighted Eye Pillow

End of the day, screens off, lights low: the weighted eye pillow invites you to close your eyes for a few minutes. Resting over your eyes or forehead, it applies light, enveloping pressure that helps you create a sensory pause in your evening routine or in the middle of a busy day. It is also known as a weighted eye mask. Simple, with no electronics and nothing to adjust, it fits in a bedside drawer.

Design and materials

At 73 cm long and 10 cm wide, the eye pillow weighs about 300 g. The top side is soft plush and the underside is velvet, against your skin. Its glass microbead filling follows the contours of your face and gives a feeling of stability, without squeezing or pressing too hard.

• Dimensions: 73 x 10 cm;
• weight: about 300 g;
• plush top, velvet underside;
• filling: glass microbeads;
• use: over the eyes or on the forehead.

How to use a weighted eye pillow

Lie down or settle into an armchair with your head supported. Lay the eye pillow across your eyes to enjoy darkness and gentle pressure, or on your forehead if you prefer to keep your eyes free. A few minutes of calm breathing are enough to make it a ritual. It also fits nicely into a relaxation session, after yoga or before you slip under your weighted blanket.

The eye pillow is not designed to be tied on or worn while walking: you simply rest it in place. Remove it whenever you like.

Care

The eye pillow is machine washable at 30 °C with a low spin. Let it air dry flat and do not iron it. These precautions keep the plush soft and the microbeads evenly distributed.

Weighted eye pillow or sleep mask?

The weighted eye pillow provides light pressure for a moment of pause; it rests in place rather than being strapped on. To sleep in the dark all night, the sleep mask, with its adjustable strap and nose pads, stays put when you move. For pressure on the neck and shoulders, the weighted neck wrap takes over. The eye pillow is also part of the weighted work-from-home set, along with the lap pad and the neck wrap.

You can also pair it with a weighted blanket: the eye pillow over your eyes, the blanket over your body, for a moment of complete calm before falling asleep. Kept next to the bed, it becomes a simple cue that tells your body the day is over.

How it feels varies from person to person. If the pressure feels too strong on your eyes, try it on your forehead first.
