Sleep Masks

Find Your Perfect Sleep Mask

We know it can be overwhelming trying to choose the right sleep mask – there are so many types out there, and each promises better rest in a different way. Whether you're after complete darkness, built-in audio, or something gentle for side sleeping, it helps to understand what makes each style unique. This guide breaks down the most common types of sleep masks so you can find one that actually suits how you sleep.


Let’s start by breaking down the different types – so you can find the right one for you.


Ideal For Those Wanting Darkness

Traditional Sleep Masks

Traditional sleep masks are the most recognisable type – usually made from soft fabric and designed to sit directly over the eyes to block out light. They’re a popular option for people who are light-sensitive or want a simple solution to help wind down and fall asleep.

Look for features like adjustable straps, breathable fabrics, and a contoured nose bridge to minimise light leakage. These masks are ideal for travel, naps, or everyday use when total darkness makes a difference. They don’t have built-in tech or audio features – just a comfortable, light-blocking design that’s easy to use and pack.

Ideal For Eye Lash Extensions

Contoured or 3D Sleep Masks

Contoured sleep masks (sometimes called 3D masks) are shaped to lift the fabric away from your eyes. Instead of lying flat like a traditional mask, they have a moulded or padded design that creates a small dome over each eye.

This extra space means there’s no pressure on the eyelids or lashes – ideal for people with long lashes, those who wear lash extensions, or anyone who finds standard masks uncomfortable. They’re also a good option if you like to blink freely or don’t enjoy the feeling of fabric directly against your eyes.

Most contoured masks still offer strong light blocking, but the fit can vary depending on face shape – so choosing a design with a snug but flexible strap helps.

Ideal For Side Sleepers

Musical Bluetooth Sleep Masks

These sleep masks combine soft, cooling fabric with ultra-thin built-in speakers – making them ideal for side sleepers who want to listen to calming sounds without discomfort. Unlike bulky headphones, the speakers sit flat inside the mask so they’re barely noticeable, even when lying on your side.

They gently wrap around the head like a traditional sleep mask, often with light padding to help block out light, but the real benefit is being able to fall asleep with relaxing audio – whether that’s music, meditations, sleep stories or white noise.

This style suits anyone who finds sound helps them unwind or those who want an easy, comfortable way to fall asleep without pressure on the ears or face. Also great for light sleepers, travellers, or anyone sharing a bed with a snorer.

Ideal For Those Needing Energy

Light Therapy Masks & Glasses

Light therapy masks/glasses don’t block light – they use it to support your body’s natural sleep-wake rhythm. These are best suited to people with disrupted sleep patterns, like shift workers, frequent travellers, or anyone who struggles to fall asleep at the right time.

Wearable options like the AYO Glasses use gentle blue-turquoise light to help regulate melatonin production. Sessions are typically done during the day – not while sleeping – and are guided by a companion app that recommends the best times based on your routine.

It’s a natural, non-invasive approach designed to help you feel more alert in the morning and fall asleep more easily at night. Do not wear while sleeping.

Ideal For Relaxation

Hot & Cold Therapy Masks

These masks are designed to do more than just block out light – they offer targeted relief through temperature therapy. Whether heated or cooled, they can help ease tension, reduce puffiness, and support recovery from headaches or sinus pressure.

Typically filled with gel beads or “aqua peas,” the mask can be gently warmed in the microwave or chilled in the fridge, depending on what your body needs. One side usually features a soft plush lining for comfort, while the other provides a smooth surface for direct cooling or warming.

They’re especially helpful for people managing migraines, anxiety-related tension, or simply wanting a soothing wind-down ritual at the end of the day. Best used while resting – not during sleep – for short sessions of 10 to 15 minutes.

Ideal For Those Watching TV

Headband-Style Sleep Headphones

This style sits across the forehead like a soft fabric headband, with built-in speakers positioned near the ears. Unlike traditional sleep masks, it doesn’t cover the eyes – making it ideal for people who prefer to keep their face uncovered or want to use it while watching TV in bed.

These headbands are lightweight and breathable, and the sound is subtle enough to help you relax without disturbing anyone nearby. They’re often used to listen to music, podcasts or calming audio before sleep – especially helpful for winding down in the evening without blocking your vision.

Best suited to back sleepers, or those looking for a simple audio solution without the full sleep mask design.
