Questions before you order

Which mask should I choose for side sleeping?

Compare how the nose area, seams and strap sit against your pillow. A mask that feels comfortable on your back can shift when you turn on your side. Use our side-sleeper fit checklist to assess these details; no single design fits every face.

Is shipping free to Canada and the United States?

Yes. Sleep Monkey offers free shipping in Canada and the US. Read the shipping policy for the current terms.

Can I return a sleep mask after wearing it?

The return policy requires items to be unused and unworn, with tags, original packaging and proof of purchase. Return requests must be made within 30 days of receiving the item, and sale items are excluded. Please check the full policy before ordering and contact us if you need a detail clarified.

Choose your sleep mask

• How to choose a sleep mask in Canada — compare fit, materials, adjustability and return conditions.
• Sleep masks for side sleepers — understand how pillows, seams and straps affect comfort.
• Silk vs. satin vs. cotton — separate a fibre from a weave and read material claims carefully.
• Sleep-mask gifts for couples and travellers — choose around the recipient’s routine rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.

Improve fit and care

• Why your sleep mask keeps falling off — troubleshoot strap position, pillow friction and nose fit.
• What to do when a sleep mask lets light in — check where light enters before tightening the band.
• How to wash a sleep mask — follow the finished product’s care instructions and dry it fully before wearing.

Match the mask to your routine

• Sleep masks for flights and hotel stays — pack for light, cleanliness and passenger comfort.
• Sleep masks for shift workers — consider daytime light alongside a dark, quiet bedroom.
• A comfort checklist for hot sleepers — compare coverage and bedding without assuming a mask lowers body temperature.
• Cooling eye masks vs. overnight sleep masks — understand the difference between a brief cooling compress and a mask for sleep.

Understand darkness and the evidence
