yes yes! SO pleased to find you back, mainly because of my sad little story: many years ago, i bought a SYDNEY key ring which i treasured (being a huge sydney-phile) UNTIL i was violently mugged just outside my home, and alongside my cash, etc, the bastard also got my much-loved key ring. i'll be distraught if you don't still make them!!

This is not just an in-flight thing. It seems that lots of people like to sleep with an eye mask on. Bedrooms get flooded in sunlight a bit too early for some. And shift workers need to be able to create night at any time. But, for many more, it's become a sleeping ritual to rank alongside: bedtime reading, handcream and maybe a small nightcap.

Life before the REMO Eye Mask was tough. Wearers had to make do with the nasty freebie versions that they give you on planes. They are generally made of plastic and nylon and, as a result, tend to rustle when you move and make your eyes sweat! They also let little bits of light in from underneath.

We reverse engineered a series of eye masks from around the world and decided that what they all needed was a winged keel of padded black cotton! Many prototypes, meetings and samples later (we even had Tiny Tim test drive one of them), we settled on the current design; made by hand in Sydney from pure Belgian cotton velvet.

Lyndell Murray has given this product a 5 star rating | Eyelids for Queenslanders
My mate Megsy reckons there's no need for eye masks. "Isn't that what your eyelids are for?" she asked me quizzically once... She's an early riser - the best way to be in non-daylight-saving Queensland. Usually I make the use of the daylight when it's there... in fact I look forward to getting out on the bike early on Summer mornings. Hasn't been happening lately though for various reasons... so my REMO eye mask has been essential bed wear.

This is the best sleep mask I have ever found. Well made, comfortable and keeps the light out.

I've brought many of these over the years some friends have loved some are indifferent. Certainly much nicer to slumber with than a clamy synthetic mask!

Ray Jarratt has given this product a 5 star rating | When Remo went away
When Remo went away I bought as many of these eye masks and as much Valobra soap as my bank account could bear. There's an eye mask in my briefcase, there's an eye mask in my iPod's soft case and there's an eye mask beside my bed. Best looking, best wearing eye mask ever. May they never go away again.

The eye mask is all is claims to be. Lovely velvet. I've had mine for years and it show no sign of wear. It is large enough to keep out all the light. And personally I find the tension just right with the elastic. I did have to remove the remo label however as that was a tiny bit scratchy.

Maggie Cooper has given this product a 5 star rating | Vintage eye mask
Just got back from several weeks in California. Of course, I flew with my original Remo eye mask, purchased in, umm, 1989-ish, still good although I did have to replace the elastic last year (not bad to have lasted 17 years and many kilometres). Much to my distress, my backpack outer pocket was picked while watching some uber-breakdancers in San Francisco. They left my iPod, mobile phone and asthma meds, but stole the eye mask... bastards! At least you still sell them - looking forward to at least another 17 years of use from the replacement.

Bought as gift for husband who has suffered my bedtime reading for 12 years. A complete success. Also creates a fetching bat boy effect.

David Charlesworth has given this product a 5 star rating | Night shift blues.
OK, so I have done far too much night shift. I am emerging from the depths of a UK winter and now it is bright and occationally sunny during the day. This luxury item makes it much easier. Unlike those horrible airline numbers your face doesn't sweat. And, I am coordinated with my rich purple PJ's.... very important. Very grand indeed.. you just need to find a way of making sexy ear plugs...

Julia Philips has given this product a 4 star rating | Cushioned darkness
I'd give it a 5 but the elastic is a bit too big for my little head... Otherwise it's great, comfortable to wear and keeps the bright light out when I'm trying to sleep. Fabulous for the plane - a bit of first class in the steerage seat.

Allison Jones has given this product a 4 star rating | Nice and comfy
I wear one of these every day (well, every night). It is super-comfy and great for blocking out the early morning light. The elastic went on the last one I bought, but that was after almost a year of use, so I've just bought another.

Kate  has given this product a 4 star rating | Best eye mask ever
No eye mask will ever perfectly shut out light, but this is the closest you could hope to come. It has saved me from many a sleepless night. I love not waking up with a sweaty face from a plasticy eye mask. If I could make any suggestion, it would be to give the mask adjustable straps (like a bra strap) as not everybody has the same size head, and firmness of fit is everything.

Damian White has given this product a 4 star rating | Travelling must-have
I've had mine for some years and the elastic's still holding out. The mask is slender so nestles gently against the eyelids while the 'keel' keeps out most of those annoying splinters of light. Great for flights, European siestas and the last days before daylight savings kicks in - even the thought of it being in the bedside drawer aids a good night's sleep!

Amanda Dalton-Winks has given this product a 3 star rating | Old Hollywood Glamour & practical, to boot!
I love the fact that this eyemask is made of COTTON velvet - it's soft & soothing, with no scratchiness or irritation for us sensitive types - it almost makes night shift bearable! Must admit that I've had to alter the straps though, as I have a freakishly small head & slippery hair - frustrating at first, but all sorted with a few stitches. Now to find that full length silk nightgown & tall, smouldering, cigar smoking leading man...

mary spiers williams

mary spiers williams has given this product a 1 star rating | sorry to say: disappointing
For years I wanted one of these eye masks, having seen the very cute photo of Tiny Tim, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc etc etc ... I had thought it would be deluxe full coverage around eye and up to forehead so there would be complete light obiteration... So when I finally bought one last year, I was really disappointed to see how small it is. It is exactly the same size as the ones they give you on an airplane, not that plush and soft, and not adjustable. Tiny Tim, it would seem, is in fact quite tiny - who'd have known? Mine is actually a little too tight - head too big, you say? nose too big? maybe ... I have a terry towelling one from Qantas from years ago that is more comfortable. Yes the wings are a great idea, but can't save it. This was a chance to produce something quite special. For the price, i expected something more.

Indulis Bernsteins

Indulis Bernsteins has given this product a 1 star rating | Great EXCEPT for length of elastic
A really amazing mask that I can't wear, because the elastic is so short that it makes it uncomfortable for me to wear. It needs to be longer, or adjustable, or sold in 2 versions. Signed, Mr Big Head (size 58)

Sorry but the winged keel sits right in my eyes and is very uncomfortable - maybe it's because I have a little nose - I have to sleep with it inside out.

Paul Dover has given this product a 1 star rating | Disappointed
Sorry, I'm disappointed with this. I know I take a 60 hat size so that may be a factor. Found it a little tight and skimpy. I was expecting an 'eye pillow', this is small, lacks any padding, and appeared to have been knocked up in a hurry.
