If you’re looking for something that can help you fall asleep on a plane, or get a better night’s sleep when traveling abroad (to combat jet lag and those awful cricks in your neck), a good quality Travel Sleep Mask is a must. The best travel sleep masks block out disturbing light and noise to give you the restful slumber you need to make it through long flights and long nights of exploring new cities.
Travel Sleep Mask: Comfort On the Go
This light-blocking sleep mask is super lightweight and pillowy soft. It’s so comfortable that it feels almost like not wearing anything at all, making it a great choice for long haul flights. It also does a great job of blocking out light without any gaps, not even right next to your nose which is usually where you’ll find light leaks in other masks.
It’s also a lot less bulky than some of the other masks we tested, which makes it more practical for side sleeping. It’s also machine washable which is a big plus for a travel accessory.
This weighted sleep mask has a cotton exterior and beads filling to keep the pressure off your eyes without feeling too restrictive. It can be cooled before use to add an extra layer of comfort, and it rolls or folds up compactly to fit in your luggage or bag. This isn’t as breathable as the IMAK sleep mask, though, so it might be better for short naps than full sleep sessions.
