What to Look for in a Silk Eye Mask for Sleeping

A silk eye mask can enhance your sleep by blocking out light and providing gentle comfort—here’s what to consider before choosing one.

1. Material Quality

Look for masks made from high-grade mulberry silk, ideally with a momme weight of at least19, for optimal softness and durability. Pure silk is gentle on the skin and helps prevent creasing or irritation.

2. Fit and Comfort

Choose an eye mask with an adjustable strap or elastic band that fits securely without being too tight. A contoured or padded design can help block out more light and stay comfortable throughout the night.

3. Light Blocking Ability

A well-designed mask should fully block out ambient light, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Look for wide coverage and a snug fit around the nose and cheeks.

4. Care Instructions

Silk requires gentle care—check if the mask is machine washable or hand-wash only. Easy-to-clean masks are more convenient for regular use and help maintain hygiene.
