Nighttime Reset—Choosing the Right Silk Eye Mask for Your Sleep Ritual
A good night’s sleep starts the moment you put on your eye mask. Silk masks block light, feel soft on skin, and even tame hair frizz. Here’s how to pick one that works—and why mask weight (momme) really matters.
What Is “Momme” and Why It Counts
-
Momme (mm) measures silk weight per square yard.
-
Common Ranges:
-
Light (12–18 mm): Airy and cool, but thinner fabric may let some light through.
-
Medium (19–25 mm): Strikes a balance between blackout and breathability.
-
Heavy (30–40 mm+): Very dense—excellent for total darkness, though bulkier.
-
-
Mask Fit Matters More Than Max mm: A 22 mm mask that seals well can outperform a loose 40 mm one.
Match Your Mask to Your Needs
-
Complete Darkness: Choose medium to heavy weight (22 mm or above) with a snug, contoured design.
-
Hot Sleepers: Opt for lighter silk (around 19 mm) and look for eye cavities that keep fabric off lashes.
-
Sensitive Skin & Hair: 100 % mulberry silk (no blends) is smoothest—great for preventing creases and frizz.
