A panel of silk woven fabric has been sewn to the laminated fabric to form a smooth, cool, comfortable layer on the inner surface of the mask. Two elasticized straps have been sewn from one edge of the mask to the other to hold the mask in place. This mask has been designed for use by travelers in blocking out light so the traveler may sleep undisturbed. The mask will be imported packed in a woven fabric sleeve with a hook an loop closure.

It is configured to fit around the neck of a traveler and is designed to support the head and neck when sleeping or resting on airplanes or other modes of transportation. The pillow will be packed in woven fabric envelope with a hook and loop closure.
