What are the benefits of covering your eyes to sleep?
Let’s talk about the unsung hero of the sleep accessory world: the eye pillow.
Sure, fluffy pillows and soft sheets get all the love, but the humble little eye pillow? It’s out here doing big work- quietly improving your sleep, calming your nervous system, and helping you drift off into dreamland without so much as a humblebrag.
So, what’s the fuss about?
What Is an Eye Pillow?
Picture a small, soft, perfectly weighted rectangle that rests gently over your eyes. It blocks out light, calms your mind, and makes you feel like you’ve entered your own personal spa sanctuary. Bonus points if it smells like lavender and looks cute on your bedside table.
Not all eye pillows are created equal, though—let us introduce you to the crème de la crème: the linen eye pillow
Why Linen?
At Jade and May, we’re linen lovers through and through. Why? Because it’s breathable, natural, and oh-so-soft. A linen eye pillow is gentle on your skin (especially the delicate area around your eyes) and has that perfectly relaxed, rumpled-luxe vibe. It’s like a linen shirt for your face-but, you know, in a good way
Add a Little Lavender Magic
If you’ve ever walked past a lavender bush and immediately felt 23% calmer, you already know the power of this dreamy herb. A lavender eye pillow is filled with dried lavender buds that gently release their scent as you rest
Lavender = natural chill pill. Studies even show it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. So, if your brain is prone to late-night overthinking, lavender’s got your back
Let’s Talk Weight
Enter: the weighted eye pillow. No, it’s not heavy -it’s the perfect amount of pressure to signal your nervous system to calm the heck down. Think of it as a little hug for your face.
The gentle pressure can help reduce tension, ease eye strain, and even ease headaches. Use it while lying in bed, meditating, or pretending you’re at a luxe day spa while avoiding your inbox.
Your New Sleep Ritual
Using an eye pillow isn’t just about blocking out light- it’s about creating a moment. A little ritual. That sacred 10 seconds between flopping into bed and doom-scrolling TikTok. We say: swap the scroll for the pillow
Whether you’re a linen purist, a lavender lover, or a fan of all things weighted and wonderful, our collection of eye pillows has your tired eyes covered—literally.
