Hands Down Your Best Blackout Sleep Mask

An illustration of a girl sleeping using the best blackout eye mask to block out light from outside and her bedside lamp.

Good sleep is one of the most satisfying and necessary pleasures we have in life. It can make or break how we think, move and feel every single day. But it can be elusive. Did you know that between 10% and 30% of adults suffer from chronic insomnia in the U.S.(1).    


That’s why there’s an ongoing need to improve sleep quality. And yes, there are tons of products and treatments out there designed to do just that. But the simplest, safest, and arguably most effective is the best blackout sleep mask? And one that’s right for YOU.    


This article lists the best blackout eye mask options for you. We also share how these helped Manta Sleepers up their sleeping game. 


But first, do sleep masks work? Here’s a quick explanation of why a blackout sleep mask helps in the first place.

Why a Blackout Sleep Mask Helps You Sleep Better

An illustration of a girl with the sun shining on her when she wakes up in the morning and sleeping on a pillow in the evening.

It all boils down to one thing. The best blackout mask for sleeping blocks out light. Whether from a street lamp or your phone screen. If you’re a night shift worker who sleeps during the day, a good sleep mask keeps out the sun’s rays.      


And here’s why that’s necessary. You have an internal clock, also known as circadian rhythm, that tells your body when it’s time to be awake and asleep. Light’s role is to regulate your circadian rhythm. 


When you see the light (pun intended), your brain takes that as its cue to tell the rest of your body that it’s supposed to be up and alert. Meanwhile, darkness kickstarts the production of melatonin. Also known as the hormone that promotes sleep. (Hello darkness, my old friend!)  


Exposure to artificial light (especially from gadgets) in the evening leads to a later bedtime. It also disrupts your sleep, ultimately downgrading the quality. Imagine that on top of having insomnia.    


Finding the best sleep mask is one way to improve sleep quality. Good ones are well worth the investment. Plus, they’re cheaper alternatives to blackout drapes or blinds.

What is the Best Blackout Mask for Sleeping?

There are tons of blackout sleep masks available on the market. But not many do the job right, if at all. Look for one that promises 100% Blackout. 


When choosing the best blackout mask for sleeping, ask yourself these questions: 


  • Is it comfortable and durable?

  • Will it stay on even if I’m a side sleeper?

  • Will it stretch the skin in my eye area?

  • How else can it help besides blocking out light?


Each blackout sleep mask listed here blocks out light completely. These also come with eye cups for zero eye pressure. Plus, they’re infinitely adjustable and made from quality materials that last.


Manta Sleep Mask

The classic Manta Sleep Mask ticks all the most important boxes. It’s 100% blackout and fully adjustable. And it’s made from super comfy, snag-free materials (your hair will thank you). 


It also comes with eye cups so as not to crush your lashes or put pressure on your peepers. 


If you’re looking for the best blackout sleep mask that’s simple, sleek and super effective at light blocking, this is it!

Here’s what Manta Sleepers have to say:

Nothing short of life changing

“As a nurse who works nights especially during the summer months these masks are nothing short of life changing, they provide total blackout while also being super comfy, they don’t move once on and therefore there is no issue with light leaks, they are high quality and durable, I highly recommend, a customer for life, I would never use an alternative mask again. I misplaced my original mask I had purchased about five years ago during the holidays and was in a panic to get a new one, I ended up buying the three pack not only for the value but also so I would always have a spare going forward! They arrived to Ireland in only about two weeks, excellent service! A very happy customer!”

- Lizzy M.

Super pleased with this!

“No light gets in at all, it's comfortable, well-made, and stays put during the night. I am very happy and it is worth the money. It's been a complete game-changer for me in our new east-facing bedroom.”

- Roxanne S.

Assisted with c-PTSD sleep issues.

"I have generally always been a good sleeper, but recently, due to some extreme trauma, I began having all sorts of sleep problems. I purchased the Manta Silk Mask and once I received it, had the first proper night's sleep I had had in months. Complete blockout. Super comfortable. My mask saved my sanity. I will 100% be recommending to others."

- Shanna S.

LOOOVE This mask

“I am a side sleeper and this mask is amazing!!! It stays in place, blocks out all light and doesn't put any pressure on my eyes at all. It is a little expensive but if you need to block out the light, it's worth the price. If you are a grave shift working side sleeper, you need this mask. Definitely glad I bought it!”

- Lisa H.

THE ULTIMATE SLEEP MASK

“My room is so bright, even with my blackout shades down, but the Pro Mask has solved that problem and for a lot less than redoing my shade situation. Thank you Manta for THE BEST MASK with no light leakage whatsoever! Wow!”

- Karen B.

Lovely deep sleep

“Finally my sleep is uninterrupted by the Nordic morning light this time of year - which starts very early! The eyecups are comfortable for side sleep and they create considerably less heat than the ordinary type (which is also very good).”

- Christopher T.

Manta WEIGHTED Mask

A dark gray weighted sleep mask with eye cups gives the wearer 100% blackout.

You might have tried a weighted blanket and slept well thanks to the gentle pressure. Ever heard of a weighted sleep mask that’s 100% blackout to boot? If not, it’s time you did.


This weighted blackout eye mask isn’t just great for sleep. It also helps reduce anxiety symptoms just like its blankie counterpart.(2) The weight is evenly distributed throughout the mask to gently soothe you to sleep.


Unlike other weighted masks, this fully-adjustable one has a streamlined design, which means it's not too big or too bulky. 


We’re not trying to pressure anyone, but if you need some mood-lifting, this could be the best blackout sleep mask for you. 

Manta Sleepers weigh in:

What can I say…

“Really. What can I say... from the moment I put this on, I immediately drift off. It is so comfortable and blocks out the light. Interestingly enough, it also helps me with any headaches or migraines. The pressure of the weight around the sinuses is so relieving. So double bonus! I always recommend this mask to troubled sleepers.”

- Vita D.

I love this mask

“I love this weighted eye mask! I've had mine for about two years now and it has solidified its spot as the most essential item for my sleep. The weight helps my face relax but is still gentle. It really does completely black out, which has completed changed my mid-day nap game. I 100% recommend this mask to anyone looking for a weighted mask!”

- Melissa

True blackout mask

“Great! I'm sensitive to light and am always looking for a better mask both for sleep at home and while traveling. This is the most comfortable mask I've found and also the most light proof. According to my fitness tracker when I wear this I get deeper and longer sleep. I also notice I fall asleep much faster. It's pricey but a great investment if you're sensitive like me.”

- Alexis L.
