2 more sleep masks are scored in the Formulate app.

What the score means

Declared quality: built from what each maker states about materials, thermal behaviour, support, function, certification and durability, weighted for sleep masks. It rewards products that say specifically what they are and what they are made of. It is not a lab test, and a product whose maker states too little to grade is not ranked rather than ranked low. Scores compare sleep masks only with itself — never a mattress with a pair of earplugs.

Scores rate what a product declares, not how it will suit you. Persistent sleep problems are worth raising with a clinician. Some links are affiliate links; they never affect a score.
