The best sleep masks of 2026 tested and reviewed

Do you struggle with sleep due to light in your room or when traveling? Then you know how important a good sleep mask is. But what is truly the best sleep mask available right now?

To answer that question, PurelyGoods commissioned an independent test by Slaapmanieren, the platform specializing in sleep quality. They tested twenty popular sleep masks and selected, among others, two clear winners from PurelyGoods:

• The PurelyGoods Sleep Mask Headphones

• The PurelyGoods Silk Sleep Mask

These two masks scored exceptionally high on comfort, light-blocking, user-friendliness, and material choice. In this blog, you'll discover why these models were rated the best.

Why choose a sleep mask?

Light, even from a nightlight or streetlamp, can disrupt your melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. A sleep mask for sleeping helps block those stimuli, so you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.

Whether you're at home, traveling, or need to rest during the day: with the right eye mask for sleeping, you can create a dark, relaxing environment anywhere.
