Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask Review

As a health writer, I’ve tried my fair share of products over the years to help with my anxiety, headaches, and sleep. Although I stick to a plant-based diet and exercise regularly, these are still issues I struggle with from time to time—so I’m always looking for things that will help close that gap.

Anxiety is something I’ve dealt with all my life—and while it can either come out of the blue or arise from specific situations, I’m triggered by certain sensitivities as well. At times, this can be light, whether it’s from fluorescent bulbs or the sun.

My headaches can certainly be worsened by light from the outdoors or my computer screen. And if there’s even a hint coming into my bedroom at night, I might as well forget about sleep.

Since my body and mind are so sensitive to this, I’ve always wanted an eye mask—but I’ve never come across a great eye mask. I’ve tried a few, but none of them truly felt good.

I’m someone who, despite my aversion to light while sleeping, can’t sleep with an eye mask on overnight, but I’ve continually been on the lookout for one that could help when I’m feeling anxious or experiencing a pounding headache.

That’s why I was intrigued when I had the opportunity to try the

. I’ve used weighted blankets for a long time, and they’ve always made me feel better—but a weighted eye mask? This was a new concept to me, and something I was willing to try.

Ahead, I’ll talk through the features of the eye mask and provide a weighted eye mask review.

The

is essentially a weighted blanket for your face and eyes. Rendered in mulberry silk (also known as the best type of silk on the market today), it provides deep pressure stimulation, which is ideal if you’re hoping to quickly drift off to dreamland or banish a headache.

Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask review

I’ve been using the weighted silk eye mask for several weeks now, and I’m here to tell you that it makes a difference. Although I’m still not able to sleep with an eye mask overnight (some people just don’t love the feeling of something on their face overnight, while others adore an eye mask), I basically used it for everything else: Headaches. Tired eyes. And all those anxious moments in between.

I’ve found that it levels up my relaxation. When my nerves are raw, I dab some lavender oil on my pulse points, put on the mask and some Enya, and suddenly feel incredibly soothed.

I love putting it on for a few minutes after my bedtime bath and before going to sleep, just to feel a bit calmer before drifting off. And it’s fantastic for headaches and even migraines. I’ve had some doozies lately, and that weight on my eyes and face have brought such relief, especially when I diffuse peppermint oil nearby too.

I’ve also found that it’s wonderful for cat naps. I can’t seem to sleep with an eye mask overnight, but I do find that I can for short naps, particularly when the sun seeps into my bedroom in between the cracks of the window shades.

And it’s so soft. As someone who is majorly picky when it comes to anything that’s tactile, I can say that it feels lovely. Overall, I’m so glad that I have this silk weighted eye mask on hand for all of these tense moments in my life.
