This is the sleep mask you have been dreaming of. Block out light using the very best of nature.
The sumptuous, stonewashed linen feels amazing against your skin and it makes us feel good being able to help you sleep better whilst keeping synthetic fibres and chemicals away from your eyes.
The Wisewool layer uses its super-natural powers for exceptional moisture-wicking and temperature regulation.
In February 2024 we transitioned to using organic elastic (it is finally a thing!) for the strap - sourced from Germany.
Could this be the best kindest sleep mask ever created – we believe it is!
We only use the best materials sourced through specialist NZ businesses.
"New Zealand's Pillow" is handcrafted from these local and imported materials:
- Japara cotton
- NZ farmed and refined 'Cloud' wool
- YKK invisible zip
- Spun polyester thread
- Recycled polyester ribbon label
- Calico cotton - drawstring bag
DO NOT machine wash the Cloud Wool Pillow.
We recommend removing the wool fill and washing the pillow casing as you would with any other white, cotton laundry. Washing in cold water will ensure no shrinkage.
Whilst the wool is out of the cover, take advantage of letting it breathe and catching some sun. Wool loves the sun as much as it loves the fresh NZ air. The rays will naturally deodorize, disinfect, and renew your bedding.
Alternatively, you can hand wash them in warm water with a wool detergent and let them drip dry.
You might notice a slight scent. It is actually proof the natural 'Cloud' wool is as pure as possible, and this will air out in time or sooner if you remove the fill and allow to breathe in the sunlight.
During product testing, we thought this feedback summed up the scent nicely "faint smell of a clean, healthy, warm barn... making for a healthy and loving feel to it.’’
Use the included lavender pack if desired.
Kind Face™ products might have small imperfections due to the nature of being 100% handmade.
Firmness guide: Medium to Firm. Remember, you can easily adjust the comfort level by removing or adding wool fill. Give the pillow a good shake and fluff up to rebalance the fill.
Approx 14cm high when filled, with light pressure applied.

Wool fibres are covered in scales that trap dust, mould spores and other harmful allergens, removing them from the air and preventing them from being inhaled.
support local
The NZ 'Cloud' wool comes from Wisewool in Gisborne, where both the sheep and the environment are happy and healthy. Every pillow is hand-stitched and filled in our workroom in Avondale.
We believe in evolution, not more pollution
-
The ‘Evolution’ in our wool pillows is thanks to the legends at Wisewool in Gisborne.
They are responsible for taking their beautiful Tairāwhiti sourced wool from a raw fibre through to the luxurious Cloud fill. This includes innovative mechanical engineering which enhances the resilience and bounce whilst protecting the natural fibre's unique, organic state.
You can see the process for yourself on the Wisewool website - from where the wool starts in a shearing shed through to arriving at our workroom.
personalise "New Zealand's Pillow"
The pillows are easily adjustable, making them compatible with every sleeping position - and there is nothing to hide unlike synthetic and feather fills. Just open the zipper to shape, remove or add Cloud wool as desired. Enjoy.
Complete with a lavender pouch and calico cotton drawstring bag, which we make in-house.

Customer Reviews
Comfortable and soft to wear. Great black out for sleeping.
Really lovely, soft, breathable, comfy sleep mask. Worth the little extra for a quality product, after using cheap synthetic ones previously.
I was also considerably impressed with the amazing service, there was a replacement required for the originally posted product, and I emailed to enquire. I was phoned within the hour and the replacement was hand delivered the same afternoon! Absolute top notch customer service, thank you!
Will definitely be recommending this product and this company to others.
So soft and fits so well. Love !
The sleep mask is amazing! Super comfortable and is great at blocking the light out - which is great if you live in Te Waipounamu the South Island where it doesn't get dark till 10pm at night in summer!
Fantastic products, thoroughly recommend to purchase. Intend to get two more of each as my family keep snaffling!

Designed and lovingly crafted in our Auckland workroom where people and planet come before profit
Sleep Health
Light plays such a crucial role in your sleep-wake cycle, blocking it out can promote better sleep, and in turn - better health.

Triple layer construction ensures maximum light blocking, a long product lifetime and a premium finish.
Rest Easy
We only use the very best natural materials, sourced from local suppliers. No need to worry about what you are wearing.
Harness the restorative power of nature
The Wisewool 200gsm 'Blanketing' layer combined with natural linen and cotton layers deliver high moisture-wicking performance and natural temperature regulation, keeping you comfortable throughout the day and night.
Why Choose the Linen+Wisewool Sleep Mask?
You might ask: "Why did you include wool in a sleep mask?
That's a good question! - We say: "Wool is incredible, why not?"
Wool has super-natural powers in moisture-wicking and regulating temperature, but it also has an inherent resistance to dust mites, bacteria and fungus, ensuring a hygienic and healthy sleep environment. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
You might notice a slight lanolin scent. It is actually proof the Wisewool batting is as pure as possible. The scent will dissapear over time with washing and airing.
Enhance your sleep quality
One ingredient we couldn’t include in the sleep mask is lavender, which is proven to help sleep quality.
You will find lavender inside our Weighted Eye Masks and other Wellness products, but as the Linen+Wisewool Sleep Mask is washable it just wasn’t possible to include.
We have tested many different lavender based mists and sprays on the sleep mask and they perform beautifully. If you decide to try one yourself, please test it on a small patch of linen first to ensure it doesn’t stain or soak through the layers.

Our Materials
Stonewashed Linen

Our Turkish stonewashed linen has been awarded the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificate - this means it is completely free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. To attain Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to human health.
Wisewool 200gsm 'Blanketing'
Wisewool source their premium strong wool clip from a select number of farms in the Tairāwhiti Gisborne region, before it heads to their factory in Te Poi, Waikato.
Wisewool's superior 100% wool blanketing uses needle-punching to mechanically interlock the wool fibres.
This enhances the super-natural properties of wool, stops the fill from shifting and clumping, eliminates 'cold spots' and ensures a longer lifespan than regular wool duvets.
Plus, it keeps synthetics away from your bedding and our beautiful environment.
Japara Cotton
Japara cotton fabric is a natural product which is made of quality cotton infused with a paraffin-based wax.
It is then finely woven into a very durable cloth with a thick texture plus a silky feel and look.
It is also found to be less susceptible to liquids and other staining elements.
The tightly woven construction of Japara cotton fabric provides a luxurious feel, hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking properties.
