The Role of a Comfortable Eye Mask in Quality Sleep
Sleep masks aren't just fashion accessories. Their main role is to keep the light out when you sleep. By providing pure darkness, your brain gets the hint that it’s time to wind down for bed. Plus, darkness triggers the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
But not all sleep masks are created equal. Some are better at keeping light than others. Or the difference lies in the fabric and fit. Make no mistake that these contribute to how excellent your eye mask is.
What is a blue silk eye mask?
Now let’s move on to what a blue silk eye mask is. Obviously, it's a mask that’s made from blue silk. But the only ones worth mentioning are made from premium mulberry silk with a high weight or momme. (Momme is a Japanese unit of measurement for fabric.)
Have you ever wondered what type of sleep mask the rich and famous prefer? Our guess is a luxury silk eye mask. And it’s no surprise, considering the soft and supple feel of silk against your skin. If that isn’t a sumptuous sleep experience, then we don’t know what is!
There are other factors to look out for when it comes to a high-quality blue silk eye mask. One is that it blocks out light 100%. Another is if it’s fully adjustable to accommodate your unique head size and shape. Oh, plus points for one that’s machine-washable for easy cleaning.

Why does blue silk stand out from the rest?
But why a blue silk eye mask? Recently, the blue silk eye mask trend has caught on, specifically those in shades of royal blue. This shade is associated with luxury and opulence. Also, blue is a color that’s known to have a calming effect.
Silk is known as one of the most sought-after fabrics out there. A silk sleep mask combines form and function, which means you’ll sleep like royalty. Don’t believe us?
According to Designs.AI, Royal Blue carries with it a sense of nobility, largely due to its historical ties with the UK's royal clan. It's frequently linked to power, reliability, and self-assurance(1).
If your blue silk eye mask has a superior light-blocking feature and a customizable fit, then you’ve hit the jackpot. It’ll also add an element of sophistication to your nighttime routine.
But you might be unaware that a silk eye mask also has health and beauty benefits. The next section covers the pros. (It isn’t all about looks, that’s for sure.)
Benefits of a Blue Silk Eye Mask for Sleep
A major pro of using a blue silk eye mask is the complete blackout it offers. This helps improve your sleep quality. You’ll be able to drift off faster and stay asleep longer.
Silk has natural hypoallergenic properties, which makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Furthermore, silk's smooth texture minimizes friction on your skin and hair. You’ll experience fewer sleep creases and wrinkles. Not to mention frizzy hair from static.
And that’s not all, either. Silk is breathable and regulates temperature. You can use it all year round, making your blue silk eye mask a great investment. Want more information? Read our blog post on silk eye mask benefits.
What to Look for in a High-Quality Blue Silk Eye Mask
When hunting for any high-quality sleep mask (including a blue silk eye mask) consider these:
Is it adjustable for a personal fit?
Sleep masks should fit you in a snug yet comfortable manner. An overly tight sleep mask will cause discomfort. One that’s too loose might slip off sometime in the night as you move around.
Look for a blue silk sleep mask with an adjustable and durable strap. Avoid those that use a single elastic strap. These aren’t durable and will lose their shape in just a few months or so.
Does it block out light completely?
There’s no going around this one. A blue silk eye mask should block out 100% of light. Otherwise, it won’t fulfill its main purpose.
Look for one that has contoured eye cups. These help seal out light effectively.
Is it made from soft and breathable fabric?
This one is pretty straightforward. If your sleep mask is made from pure, premium silk then it’ll tick off this box.
For any other sleep mask, always check what it’s made from. Another good option for softness and breathability is cotton.
Does it put pressure on the eyes and lashes?
We mentioned eye cups earlier, right? Apart from keeping light out, eye cups ensure there’s zero pressure on your peepers and lashes. You can say goodbye to crushed lash extensions or that temporary blur of your eyesight.
Is it easy to clean?
Regardless of what type of sleep mask you own, it needs regular cleaning. Remember that it sits on top of some of the most sensitive parts of your body: the eyes and facial skin.
And when it comes to silk eye masks, they’re notoriously difficult to clean. So, pick one that’s machine washable. They exist, believe us.
Here’s a bonus. Read our blog post on how to wash a silk sleep mask if you want more info on maintenance.

“I love this mask! Super functional, comfortable, and I love how futuristic it looks. The matching earplugs and mesh bag were also a really nice touch! I apply eyelash serum right before bed, and this mask makes sure it doesn’t smear all over my face while I sleep. I was hesitant to get this initially when I saw the price tag, but honestly this is such a great purchase. I sleep so well with my mask!”

“Hello lovely team,
I already made my review but i just have to tell you AGAIN how much i do appreciate your work . I really think you should be all over the world and i will spread the word for sure.
New Manta Silk 😍
First of all i just love love love the color of the mask, an intense blue / violet ! You are known for not choosing the obvious colors and being an artist i just appreciate that bold move.
After using the mask for around 5 nights i have to say it is my favourite . At first i wasnt sure it would be because i was already used to the Pro but now i can see / feel what makes it better for me .
- I am a female with a small head, the PRO is almost big, even though it fits, but the silk is just the perfect size.
- It really is COLDER than the pro, as i said, for most people that wont be an issue but i live in a humid / hot weather island so this is a factor for sure.
- I find that the band being less flexible helps with having the mask without falling and specially not having to have it tight to my face in order to stay, that is a HUGE factor. Fantastic decision to have the elastic band only on the back.
- It is a bit heavier and doesnt have the feeling of pillow as the pro has, but knowing that i have the mask on for me is a good thing , most people wont agree with me but this makes my brain know it is time to sleep and i relax.
- The cups are amazing, even though they dont have the typical texture of silk (like the band) they are sturdy and very well made, i sleep on my side and i find it even better than the Pro (maybe because they are smaller and better fitted for me), the darkness is amazing ! When i use the Pro during the day i can see just a tiny tiny bit of light coming from the orange part of fabric , not with the silk. With the silk i can feel just a bit my lashes at the end of the cup but that doesnt bother me at all, i rather have it like this than bigger cups and bigger mask, that doesnt happen with the Pro as it is deeper ( I dont wear fake lashes and i dont use makeup).
- Have i already said it is a beautiful mask ? :)”
— Barbara S.
