If you're a light sleeper or regularly travel, the best eye masks can help to block out light for a more comfortable and undisturbed sleep.
We've tested popular eye masks for sleep, including silk eye masks from brands including Boots, Drowsy, Manta, Slip and more. Our testers tried each mask and rated them on their light-blocking ability, as well as how comfortable and secure they felt.
With two Great Value picks at less than £15, we discovered that you don't need to spend big for an eye mask that blocks out all light and feels comfortable to wear overnight. Sweet dreams!
