9 Silky Soft Sleep Masks Made Using Organic Materials
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Let’s be honest: We don’t always feel refreshed and rejuvenated after waking up, especially this year. And we’ll do pretty much anything to ensure the most restful night of sleep. One of our top tips? Going to bed with a good sleep mask.
Sleep masks are ideal for blocking out light and distractions. Specific masks—like ones made with silk—can also keep skin moisturized (an essential during the winter months). It’s a small luxury that makes for the perfect addition to our nighttime ritual.
These sustainable sleep masks use entirely upcycled fabrics, responsibly sourced silk, and organic fibers. Ranging three continents and with worldwide shipping options, everyone can enjoy a sustainable and soothing night’s sleep.
Support a better sleep routine with a new organic mattress, the calming scents of these essential oils, and our favorite melatonin sleep aids.

1. Coyuchi
Materials | 100 percent certified organic cotton
Standout Ethic | Fair Trade-certified from India
Price | $18
With a strong investment in organic and regenerative agriculture, Coyuchi is leading the way when it comes to sustainable bedding and bath. This 100 percent organic mask is sourced and woven in India (made with 300-thread count!), and it comes with both GOTS and Fair Trade certifications. Plus, with a portion of proceeds benefiting environmental initiatives through 1% for the Planet, this luxuriously soft mask is a serious steal at $18.
2. Peacemaker Studio
Materials | Organic cotton, flaxseed, and lavender
Standout Ethic | Made to order in Corbett, Oregon
Price | $30
Peacemaker Studio’s handmade, weighted sleep mask is pure bliss. Whether you are looking for a light-blocking aid or a self-care accessory, this adjustable mask delivers. A hidden zipper makes the cover removable for washing, and the fill is made from organic flaxseed and lavender (for a scent-free option simply make a note during the sale and the lavender can be left out!); this unique fill creates a pleasant pressure that’s great for soothing headaches. The mask can also be gently heated or refrigerated for an even more luxurious experience!
3. Ettitude
Materials | 100% bamboo lyocell, RPET filling
Standout Ethic | Biodegradable packaging
Price | $24
This conscious mask from Ettitude is made from 100% sustainable bamboo lyocell that feels smooth like silk without the animal byproducts. Lightly filled with recycled plastic bottles, the mask is just plush enough without being bulky. Hypoallergenic and OEKO-TEK certified, you can sleep easy in this cool-to-the-touch silky mask, which comes with a wide band to keep it snugly in place.
4. Saatva
Materials | Mulberry silk, natural glass beads
Standout Ethic | Gives back to charities
Price | $75
Saatva’s weighted sleep mask is made from the highest quality mulberry silk, making it natural hypoallergenic, breathable, and temperature regulating. The fill is made from all-natural glass beads, providing a gentle and even pressure that also helps to block out light. If the delicate skin around your eyes is especially sensitive, a 100% silk mask of this quality helps to protect the skin from any irritating friction.
5. Nest Bedding
Materials | Mulberry silk, aloe vera & argan oil infused silk treatment
Standout Ethic | Fair Trade certified
Price | $29
The silk sleep mask from Nest Bedding is not only washable, naturally hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and odor-free, but also comes with a special aloe vera and argan oil infused treatment. The oil-treated silk gently moisturizes your skin while you sleep, and can last up to ten washes. This mask is lightweight but designed for a snug fit, providing the soothing pressure of a hug for your eyes.
6. Asutra
Materials | 100% silk, muslin, gel eye mask insert, organic lavender & flaxseeds
Standout Ethic | Women-owned
Price | $22
This Asutra sleep mask is a versatile self-care tool that can be used for sleep, relaxation, or during savasana after your yoga practice. Though it comes already filled with organic lavender and flaxseeds for a light, easily adjustable weight, add more from the provided extra filling bags for added scent or your preferred pressure. We love to freeze the gel mask insert for 10 minutes before slipping inside for a gentle cooling experience!
7. MLE
Materials | Silk and 100 percent natural Kapok fibers
Standout Ethic | Made-to-order in NYC
Price | $48
Like all low-waste goods from MLE, each sleep mask is made-to-order in New York City to reduce waste and excess. While many pieces are sourced from deadstock and natural materials in the local NYC Garment District, this adorably cloud-shaped mask is made with naturally moisturizing silk and Kapok—a sustainable fiber that’s both hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.
8. Thought
Materials | 100 percent certified organic cotton
Standout Ethic | Made of surplus fabric
Price | £14.95
Thought, a popular UK-based sustainable brand, is back with another hit: the printed eye mask. This woven mask is made from leftover 100 percent certified organic cotton and fitted with a one-size-fits-all elastic strap. Best of all, it features a hand-painted floral design to add elegance and style to your nighttime routine. At less than 10 quid (with free UK delivery!), it’s one of the best sustainable sleep masks around.
9. CozyLinen
Materials | Linen, flaxseed, lavender
Standout Ethic | 100% carbon emission offset shipping
Price | $10+
If you’re looking for an all-weather linen eye pillow, CozyLinen is the shop for you! While not strictly a sleep mask, these eye pillows are perfect for your post-yoga savasana. You can’t tell us that under its soothing lavender and flaxseed filling you won’t find yourself snoozing just a little (shh, we won’t tell!). Choose from several earthy and calming colorways, including moss, chocolate, or lilac, and take your final resting pose to the next level.
