TEMPUR SLEEP MASK

£24.99

'Don't worry, I'll sleep on the flight.' Fateful words, as anyone who's crossed the Atlantic swine-class for a career-defining morning meeting will tell you. Thankfully, there are ways of blocking the world out, even at 40,000 feet. Snuff out every last glimmer of light and sleep like a baby with this supersoft TEMPUR eye mask that moulds to the contours of your face. Choose your travelling companions wisely though, if you want to avoid accusations of preciousness.

YALA DREAMSACK

£40.80

You've finally arrived at your destination, only to discover your 'luxury penthouse' is in fact a grotty hostel - and these are the only digs in town. It's at this point you realise you're never too old for a sleeping bag. Why not pack this classy, low-bulk alternative instead? Slip into DreamSack's silken cocoon for a spot of luxury wherever you sleep. Beware though: even the softest sheets won't make up for a lumpy mattress.
