BEARABY DREAMER WEIGHTED EYE MASK REVIEW
Sleep masks have gained popularity over the years as a tool for improving sleep quality by blocking out light. But Bearaby has taken the concept one step further by introducing the Bearaby Dreamer, a weighted eye mask made from their proprietary Terraclay™ material. In this review, we’ll break down what makes the Bearaby Dreamer stand out in the competitive sleep mask market.
Company Policies & Recommendations
Bearaby Dreamer Eye Mask- Composition
The Bearaby Dreamer isn’t your average eye mask. It is crafted from a unique blend of Terraclay™ beads and a soft cover made of recycled polyester, which together provide a soothing, calming experience. The use of natural materials such as Terraclay ensures that the mask not only feels great but is also eco-friendly, and the use of GRS-certified polyester makes the Bearaby Dreamer a plastic-negative product, aligning with Bearaby’s commitment to sustainability.
Terraclay Beads
The standout feature of the Dreamer Eye Mask is its filling: Terraclay™ beads, made from all-natural clay. These beads are free from harmful chemicals and provide a gentle, even weight distribution across the face. Bearaby’s use of Terraclay beads instead of traditional glass or plastic beads is a game-changer for those seeking an eco-friendly alternative.
The outer fabric of the Bearaby Dreamer is made from soft, upcycled Cloudweave, a 100% GRS-certified polyester. This material ensures that the mask doesn’t trap heat, allowing your skin to stay cool while you sleep.
Benefits of Terraclay™: Body and Eco-Friendly Advantages
Eco-Friendly Design
Bearaby has always been committed to sustainability, and the Bearaby Dreamer is no exception. By using Terraclay™ beads, the brand reduces reliance on non-biodegradable materials like plastic or glass. These natural clay beads are biodegradable, which makes this sleep mask a more eco-conscious option.
In addition to being biodegradable, Terraclay beads are responsibly sourced, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. When compared to conventional weighted eye masks that use synthetic fillings, the Dreamer truly stands out as a more sustainable choice.
While Terraclay is biodegradable, please dispose of your Bearaby Dreamer properly, as the polyester cover is definitely not biodegradable, and would leave a plastic footprint on the planet is not recycled appropriately.
Body Benefits
From a physical standpoint, Terraclay™ beads have another significant advantage: they provide just the right amount of weight without causing discomfort.
Unlike most other eye masks, the Bearaby Dreamer is designed to fully cover eyes, temples, and even ears! The natural Terraclay beads create a smooth, even pressure, across the face, helping to relieve tension around the eyes, temples, and ears. This gentle pressure can stimulate relaxation, making it easier to drift into a deep, restful sleep.

Everything we felt in one box

The Bearaby Dreamer is made of two parts. Its cover is made of Cloudweave, a 100% GRS-certified (recycled) polyester. Its filled is made of hundreds of tiny Terraclay pearls, which are natural, sustainable, and biodegradable. This is in line with Bearaby’s eco-friendly commitment. |
Weighing at 0.75 lb, we find the Bearaby Dreamer to be the perfect weight to appeal to most sleepers. Bearaby’s bread and butter is weighted sleep accessories and the Dreamer’s weight is ideal to induce relaxation, help with headaches / migraines / insomnia in a gentle, natural, and soothing way. |
We have found the Bearaby Dreamer to feel very soft. A non-natural fabric, the Dreamweave achieves excellent softness and cooling performance. |
You can machine wash your Bearaby Dreamer weighted eye mask in the washing machine (we recommend a gentle cycle), and let it air dry on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight. |
The Bearaby Dreamer is one-size-fits-all, fitting most heads, and you can choose from several calming and earth-toned colors, with the exception of a slightly more popping purple model. |
Weight: The Science Behind Weighted Eye Masks
Weighted eye masks have been proven to offer therapeutic benefits. The Bearaby Dreamer weighs approximately 0.75 pounds, which is specifically calibrated to apply a gentle amount of pressure to key pressure points on the face, around the eyes, and on the temples.
Benefits of Weighted Pressure
The gentle pressure created by the Bearaby Dreamer’s weight has multiple benefits:
- Reduces Anxiety: Similar to how weighted blankets can help reduce anxiety, the weight of the Dreamer Eye Mask can trigger the release of serotonin, helping to ease stress and anxiety.
- Improves Sleep Quality: By applying pressure to the face, the mask helps your body enter a state of relaxation, which can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
- Relieves Eye Strain: If you spend a lot of time staring at screens or working in front of a computer, the weighted pressure from the Dreamer can help reduce eye strain and headaches.
Softness: A Luxuriously Gentle Feel
One of the most important aspects of any eye mask is its softness. Long gone are the days of airline eye masks that slept hot and itchy.
The Bearaby Dreamer excels on the softness front thanks to its Cloudweave exterior. A plastic-negative fabric, it is breathable and soft, which makes the Bearaby Dreamer not only comfortable to wear but also less likely to cause skin irritation.
Gentle on Sensitive Skin
The soft fabric is ideal for people with sensitive skin. It ensures that the mask doesn’t cause redness, pressure marks, or irritation, which is especially important for those who plan to use the mask regularly. Plus, the eco-friendly Terraclay is a great alternative to plastic-filled eye masks, making it a safer wear for the skin. We love the ability to stick the Bearaby Dreamer in the freezer for 1+ hour prior to using, for a cool and relaxing wear.
Available Options: Colors and One-Size-Fits-All Design
The Bearaby Dreamer comes in a one-size-fits-all design, making it a convenient option for anyone. The elastic band that secures the mask in place is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of head sizes without being too tight, nor too loose.
In terms of color options, Bearaby offers a few selections to fit different preferences. The available colors tend to be neutral and calming, with the addition of a fun and pepsy Sweet Lavender option. The soothing tones help create an aesthetically pleasing sleep environment, and you can easily match the mask with your bedding or room decor.
Options: Colors and Sizes
The Sunday Citizen Silky Lyocell Stitch Comforter is available in a small variety of colors and sizes, likely as it is the newest line of products for Sunday Citizen. With its neutral shades, we find it easy to suit nearly all bedroom aesthetics.
Sizes: The comforter is available in 2 standard sizes – Queen and King/Cal. King. The Queen option works well for Full and Queen-size beds, while the King / Cal. King will be ideal for King and California Kings.
Colors: Sunday Citizen currently offers the Silky Lyocell Stitch Comforter in 3 neutral colors, including neutral tones: Clear White (white), Pearl Gray (a light grey), and Sandstone (an oat color in the brown family) . These shades are designed to blend seamlessly with a variety of bedroom decors, allowing you to create a cozy and stylish space that feels peaceful and inviting to rest and relaxation.
Maintenance: Easy Care Instructions
For a sleep accessory that is used nightly, ease of maintenance is critical. Fortunately, the Bearaby Dreamer Eye Mask is designed to be easy to care for.
Cleaning Instructions
The mask is machine washable, which makes maintaining its cleanliness hassle-free. You simply toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. After washing, it should be laid flat to dry, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its shape, color, and softness.
By following these simple care instructions, you can extend the lifespan of your Bearaby Dreamer weighted eye mask and ensure that it remains in top condition for years to come.
Who Is the Bearaby Dreamer Weighted Eye Mask Good For?
While the Bearaby Dreamer is a great product for most people, it is particularly beneficial for:
1. Light Sleepers
If you are someone who is easily disturbed by light, the weighted pressure and soft fabric of this eye mask will help block out distractions and create a dark, calm environment.
2. People with Anxiety or Insomnia
The weighted pressure can have a calming effect, similar to how a weighted blanket works. This makes the Dreamer a great option for people who suffer from anxiety or insomnia, as it can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
3. Frequent Travelers
For those who travel often, whether for work or leisure, the Bearaby Dreamer is an excellent companion. The mask’s soft feel and weight make it ideal for long flights, commutes, and jetlag, helping to create a private, relaxing space wherever you are.
4. Migraines
While not clinically proven, we have tested the Bearaby Dreamer on a migraine and it helped significantly improve the pain and discomfort from the migraine.
