Description

The Apus Gold Silk Sleep Mask is one of the most personal prints in The Beauty Sleeper archive, and one of the most beautiful things you will ever leave on a bedside table.

Crafted from 100% Mulberry silk, it creates complete darkness and the kind of deep, uninterrupted sleep your body genuinely needs. Softly padded, exceptionally comfortable and designed to sit gently against the face, it is a mask you will reach for every single night.

Rich enough to admire. Comfortable enough to wear until morning.

Handmade in small quantities. An exclusive archive print, created in collaboration with a Danish print designer for The Beauty Sleeper.

Why Darkness Matters

Light is one of the most powerful signals the brain uses to regulate sleep. Even low levels of ambient light from a streetlamp, a screen or an early morning sunrise can reduce the depth and quality of rest without you ever fully waking.

A silk sleep mask creates a consistent blackout environment wherever you sleep, supporting the body's natural sleep rhythm and making it easier to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake feeling genuinely rested.

For frequent travellers, light sleepers, and anyone who shares a room, it is one of the simplest and most immediate improvements you can make to your sleep quality, and one you will notice from the very first night.

Craftsmanship

The Beauty Sleeper is designed in Copenhagen and handcrafted by a small family-run sewing studio in Shanghai, world-renowned for its long tradition of working with silk.

We believe in fewer, better things: products made to last, not to be replaced. Each sleep mask is carefully finished by hand, combining Scandinavian simplicity with generations of silk expertise.

For selected styles, we work with surplus and deadstock fabrics to give high-quality textiles new life and reduce unnecessary waste.

Fabric & Care

This handcrafted sleep mask is made from 100% pure Mulberry silk on both the exterior and the lining, one of the softest and most skin-friendly natural fibres available.

Our fabrics are digitally printed in small batches by our OEKO-TEX certified supplier using Azo dye-free inks and minimal water. A layer of natural wool sits in between, acting as a soft insulator for a gently weighted, comfortable feel against the skin. Silk and wool are entirely natural fibres, breathable and temperature-regulating by nature, keeping you cool when you need it and warm when you don't.

This sleep mask can be washed on a wool or silk programme at a maximum of 30°C using a specialist wool and silk detergent. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat if needed.

The Beauty Sleeper Apus Gold silk hot water bottle lifestyle — natural warmth for body and mind

Faaborg Museum

Apus takes its name from the constellation of the bird of paradise, and was inspired by childhood visits to Faaborg Museum and the golden peacock motifs found in the wall paintings of Danish artist Johannes Larsen.

Faaborg is the founder Lotte's hometown, and the museum has been part of her life since she was a child. The peacocks that move through Johannes Larsen's decorative paintings, bold and beautiful against the warm walls, stayed with her. When the time came to create a print that felt truly personal, she returned to them.

The Apus Print

Against a warm golden background, peacocks with luminous teal tail feathers perch among branches heavy with soft lavender peonies in full bloom. The palette moves between the richness of amber silk, the cool elegance of grey and turquoise feathers, and the quiet beauty of flowers that seem to open slowly, without any particular hurry.

The Foundation of Beauty

We have always believed that sleep is the most underrated beauty treatment available, and the most powerful.

Before serums, supplements or skincare routines comes rest. It is during sleep that the skin repairs itself, inflammation reduces and the body restores what the day has taken. A consistently good night's sleep supports healthier-looking skin, brighter eyes and a greater sense of physical and emotional wellbeing.

For that reason, we consider our Silk Sleep Mask to be the number one beauty essential in our collection.

Not because it changes who you are. But because good sleep helps you become the best version of yourself.

The Beauty Sleeper Story

The Beauty Sleeper began with a simple desire to create a sleep mask beautiful enough to leave on the bed rather than hide in a drawer.

What started as a personal search for better sleep soon became a collection of thoughtfully crafted sleep essentials, inspired by travel, beautiful interiors and the small rituals that help us rest.

Today, our Silk Sleep Masks remain at the heart of everything we do. Each one is handmade in small quantities by skilled hands, combining traditional craftsmanship with the kind of quiet, considered design that lasts not just a season, but years.

Questions Before Bed?

A Few Things to Know

Is a Silk Sleep Mask Good for Sensitive Skin?

Yes. Silk is naturally smooth and gentle, making it well suited to the delicate skin around the eyes. Because the surface is soft and low-friction, it glides over the skin rather than rubbing or pulling, which can make it a more comfortable choice for sensitive skin.

Does the Sleep Mask Block Out Light?

The sleep mask is softly padded and generously sized to help create a darker, calmer sleep environment. Its larger shape gives comfortable coverage around the eye area and helps reduce surrounding light, making it especially useful for light sleepers, travel, shared rooms, bright evenings or early mornings.

Why Choose a Silk Sleep Mask Instead of Cotton?

Silk is smooth, light and breathable, making it comfortable to wear close to the skin through the night. Compared with more absorbent fabrics such as cotton, silk does not draw in skincare in the same way, helping your evening creams and serums stay closer to the skin. It is a gentle final step in a nighttime routine, especially when the skin has been cleansed, treated and moisturised.

How Should I Care for My Silk Sleep Mask?

We recommend washing your silk sleep mask only when necessary to preserve its softness and beauty over time. Wash it separately with a mild silk-friendly detergent, place it inside a washing bag for extra protection, and choose a gentle silk or wool wash programme at maximum 30°C. Do not tumble dry, instead gently reshape and air dry away from direct sunlight.

Why Should I Use My Sleep Mask Every Night?

A sleep mask can become a small but powerful part of your evening ritual. By blocking out surrounding light, it helps signal to the body that it is time to rest and supports the natural transition from wakefulness to sleep. Used consistently, it can help create a more familiar and calming sleep environment – at home, while travelling, or during lighter mornings. Soft, comfortable and made for nightly use, it is designed to help the body settle into rest.
