Best Silk Sleep Mask: Alaska Bear Mulberry Silk Eye Mask Review
You don't need a $50 luxury sleep mask. The Alaska Bear silk eye mask — at just $9.99 — outperforms masks twice the price. We've worn it every night for a month, and it's the one we keep coming back to.
Why a Silk Sleep Mask?
Light exposure at night suppresses melatonin. Even the LED clock, street light through curtains, or your partner's late-night phone scrolling can be enough to disrupt your sleep cycle.
A good sleep mask blocks all of that. And silk is better than synthetic fabric because it's gentler on the skin and won't crease your face.

What We Liked
No pressure on eyes. Unlike contoured masks that dig into your sockets, this one lies flat. Side sleepers rejoice — it doesn't push into your face when you roll over.
Light blocking works. The silk layer plus the elastic band blocks virtually all light. We tested it in a bright room and couldn't see a thing.
It's actually comfortable. You forget you're wearing it. That's the highest compliment a sleep mask can get.
