12 Sleep Masks That Will Help You Get Some Serious Shut-Eye

We may have dreaded nap time as a kid, but these days, we'd give anything for a midday snooze — because a good night’s sleep is getting harder and harder to come by. Whether it's because we can't stop thinking about Harry Style’s Grammys attire or the coffee we had at 4 p.m. is still charging through our veins at 11 p.m., getting a full eight hours is nearly impossible. While you can turn to a new mattress or rainforest sounds to help, one of the easiest ways to create a healthy sleep environment is by wearing an eye mask.

Your eyes are able to detect light even if your lids are closed, making it tough to get rest if there is any type of sunlight or digital light in your vicinity. An eye mask helps block everything out — including your partner scrolling Instagram in bed next to you or a ray of sunshine sneaking through a crack in your curtains on a Saturday morning.

With luxe silk options and hi-tech designs, sleeping masks are far from basic nowadays, so we've rounded up some of the best options on the market that will help you get some literal shut-eye, ahead.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Baloo Satin Sleep Mask With Rose Quartz


This satin sleep mask blocks light and sound with an adjustable velcro closure in the back. According to Baloo, a built-in pocket holds the included rose quartz stone, “just over the third eye chakra, a point associated with the pineal gland and sleep regulation.”
