Product guide
Choose a sleep mask for comfort, not just darkness.
A sleep mask can be a useful answer to light in the room or while travelling. It should feel easy enough to leave on, not like another thing to manage at bedtime.
What to compare
Five details that matter.
Light blockingLook for coverage around the nose and sides without a fit that presses too hard.
Fit and strapAn adjustable strap should stay in place without pulling hair, leaving marks or creating a pressure point.
Eye spaceSome people prefer a low-profile mask; others find a shaped design more comfortable around the eyes.
Material and warmthChoose a material that feels comfortable against your skin and does not make you feel warmer than you want.
Care and returnsCheck washability, replacement options and the return policy before buying.
The simple test
Does it solve a specific light problem?
Use it for several ordinary nights before deciding. If the room is very bright, a window covering or softer lighting may be a better first change than a more expensive mask.
