Available in mint green and other fun colors, these earplugs from Loop are easy on the eyes. But more importantly, they’re reusable silicon earplugs that come with are fixed with an “loop,” making for easy adjustments once they’re in your ear. 

Loop Quiet Earplugs come with four sizes of tips you can choose from to fit your ear canal, which is more selection than a lot of brands. However, fixing a new tip size back onto the earplug isn’t the easiest process and requires some focus and finesse — hopefully you’d only have to switch tips once or twice to find your size, and then only when you clean them.

How we chose the best sleep earplugs

When selecting the best earplugs for sleeping, we tested them the only way you can — by wearing them to bed. While testing, we noted the fit, comfort and quality of each selection for the best earplugs for sleeping. We also considered how many decibels the earplugs could reduce, or noise reduction ratings (NRR) when they were available. Official noise reduction ratings (NRRs) are usually slightly different (and lower) than the average decibel or sound reduction listed because it takes into account other factors, Vibes says on its website. 

Because multiple people tested different products, we could not name a “best overall” earplug for sleeping. We will add to or update this list when possible.

Factors to consider when choosing earplugs for sleep 

There’s a lot of variety in earplugs. What works for someone else might not be the best choice for you due to size, shape and material. Here are a few things to look out for. 

• Safety: It’s important to know whether you’re a good candidate for sleeping in earplugs at all — people who have an ear infection, have a build-up of earwax or another concern over their ear should check with a doctor before wearing a pair of earplugs to sleep. To avoid an infection from wearing your earplugs, you should dispose of disposable earplugs as directed and follow the instructions for your reusable plugs on how to clean them.
• Material: This will determine the quality and comfort of the earplugs. Typical materials used are silicone, wax, foam and cotton. Foam is typically the most common earplug material because it’s the cheapest. Silicone on the other hand is what you’ll find most reusable options made out of. Wax earplugs give you the benefit of being able to mold them to the shape of your ear. 
• Noise or sound reduction This is an important one. The noise reduction level tells you how many decibels the earplugs block. The rating ranges from 0 to 33 dB. So, earplugs with a higher NRR score block out the noise the best. 
• Whether they’re reusable: Earplugs are available in either single-use or reusable options. There are benefits and drawbacks to each. Single-use earplugs are typically cheaper and suitable for occasional use. If you’re looking to use them regularly, it’s best to invest in reusable options — they’re better for the environment and way more durable. 
• Price: We all know price is one of the most important parts of shopping for the best earplugs for sleep. A pack of disposable earplugs can seem like the obvious choice based on price — most packs average around $10. However, reusable earplugs may be better suited if you’re looking for a long-term option. They cost a bit more, but you only need to buy them once. 

Best earplugs for sleeping FAQ

Is it comfortable to sleep with earplugs?

Your sleeping position may be a determining factor in how long it takes you to get used to sleeping in earplugs or whether you love them. Back sleepers typically experience the least amount of problems. Stomach and side sleepers may find that certain earplugs may backfire and make noise as they come in contact with the pillow. However, selecting earplugs that don’t stick out of your ears will help side sleepers avoid this.

Loud or abrupt sounds can be harmful to your sleep quality, but not everyone will benefit from earplugs. Besides sleep earplugs, here are other products you can use to help drown out unwanted or disruptive noise.
