Earplugs for sleeping from Alpine

Looking for ear plugs for sleeping? Maybe it's a snoring partner, a busy street or a hotel room with thin walls. Alpine's sleeping ear plugs are reusable, comfortable and made to wear all night. Not sure which pair fits? Here's your quick overview.

You might have searched for noise cancelling ear plugs. Ours work passively: no batteries, no electronics, just less noise reaching your ears.

  • SleepDeep: made for side sleepers and snoring partners. With 27 dB of noise reduction and a flush fit in the right size, you can sleep on your side without the plug digging in.
  • Silence: an all-round earplug for rest, focus and sleep, in four sizes from XS to L. Turns the volume down by 25 dB when you want to unwind, study or drift off.
  • SleepSoft: for nights when you want less noise but still want to hear your alarm. Its filters muffle snoring and background noise by 25 dB, while sounds like your alarm come through softer, not silent. Soft material, one size.
  • SoftSilicone: soft, flexible silicone that you mold to the shape of your ear. 28 dB of noise reduction, and it keeps water out too, so the same pair works for sleeping and swimming. Prefer silicone? This is your pick.

Choosing the right sleep earplugs

Not every night is equally loud, so start with what keeps you up. A snoring partner or a busy street? Go for more noise reduction, like SleepDeep (27 dB) or SoftSilicone (28 dB). Want to soften background noise and still hear your alarm? SleepSoft's filters are made for that.

Noise reducing ear plugs take the edge off the sounds that keep you awake, but only if they fit. The seal decides how much noise reduction you actually get, and how comfortable the plugs feel all night. A plug that's too small slips out. One that's too big feels tight and starts to bother you after an hour.

That's why Alpine Silence comes in four sizes, from XS to L. Pick the size that fits your ear and you get a snug, comfortable seal that helps your noise reduction ear plugs stay put, without that too-tight feeling. Not sure which size you are? Start with the sizing guide and try the fit before bedtime.

FAQ

Sleep earplugs are available both with and without sound filters.

• Sleep earplugs with a filter generally provide lighter attenuation than earplugs without a filter. Ideal for sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings or if you want to slightly reduce ambient noise. Our SleepSoft earplugs come with a filter.

• Sleep earplugs without a filter offer stronger attenuation to minimize ambient noise, but still allow you to hear enough to catch important sounds. No worries! With our SleepDeep earplugs, you will still hear your alarm clock.

Short answer: no. Soundproof earplugs don't exist, and neither does a plug that shuts out every sound. What earplugs do is reduce noise: they turn the volume down so sounds reach your ears softer.

Alpine sleep earplugs work that way. They're passive, so no batteries and no electronics, and they don't cancel noise the way active noise cancelling headphones do. SleepDeep has 27 dB of noise reduction, which is a measured rating of how much it reduces sound. How quiet your night feels depends on the noise, your fit and your own hearing.

Lying on your ear with a hard plug pressing into the pillow is no way to spend a night. That's why fit matters so much for comfortable sleeping ear plugs.

SleepDeep is designed for side sleepers. It comes in different sizes, so you can pick the one that sits flush in your ear. With a flush fit, nothing sticks out to press against your pillow, and you can stay on your side all night.

Not sure about your size? Try the fit before bedtime, so you know it feels comfortable when you're lying down.

Don’t settle for anything less than the best earplugs for sleeping? At Alpine, you can have custom sleep earplugs made. Thanks to the optimal fit, custom earplugs are not only very comfortable, they also stay in place all night. Custom sleep earplugs last up to 5 years, making them ideal for people who frequently use earplugs while sleeping.

Sleep is too important to leave to chance. Here's what you get with Alpine sleep earplugs:

  • Made for a full night. Soft, comfortable earplugs that reduce noise, so a snoring partner or a busy street stops running your night. SleepDeep has 27 dB of noise reduction.
  • Reusable: Rinse them, let them dry and use them again. Less waste, fewer pairs to buy.
  • The right fit. Alpine Silence comes in four sizes, from XS to L, so you can pick a pair that sits comfortably in your ear. Side sleeper? SleepDeep is designed for you.
  • Dutch design, since 1994. Alpine has been making reusable earplugs in the Netherlands for over 30 years. Our designs have won the Red Dot Design Award.

It depends on what you want from your night. Foam plugs are single-use, so you start with a fresh pair every evening and end up with a pile of plastic waste. Reusable ear plugs go the other way: one pair keeps you covered night after night.

Alpine's sleep earplugs are reusable for up to 100 nights. That means fewer pairs to buy and less to throw away. Just rinse them, let them dry and you're ready for the next night.

Plenty of people wear them every night. A few habits keep it comfortable: choose a size that fits well, wash your hands before you put them in, and keep your earplugs clean. Rinse reusable earplugs, let them dry fully and store them in their case.

Fit doesn't feel right? Try a different size, or get in touch with our customer service for help choosing.

SleepDeep muffles disruptive sounds like snoring and traffic, but it doesn't shut out the world. It has 27 dB of noise reduction, so sounds get softer, not silent. That means an alarm, a doorbell or a crying baby can still reach you, just at a lower volume.

How much you hear depends on the sound, how loud it is and how well the earplug fits. If you need to be sure you wake up for your kids or an early alarm, add a backup: a vibrating alarm, or a baby monitor set to a volume you can hear.

Lying next to a snorer is no fun. SleepDeep is made for exactly that. It muffles snoring and other night-time noise, with 27 dB of noise reduction. Snoring gets softer, not silent, so the night next to a snorer gets a lot quieter.

Want to know what that sounds like? Listen to our recordings and hear how snoring changes with SleepDeep in.

These ear plugs for sleeping with a snorer are designed for side sleepers too. Pick the size that sits flush in your ear, and nothing presses against your pillow.

The right size decides how comfortable your earplugs feel and how well they stay put. Too small and they slip out. Too big and they feel tight.

Silence: all sizes come in the box, from XS to L. Try them and keep the pair that sits snug and comfortable in your ear.

SleepDeep: buying for the first time? Start with the multisize pack, so you can try the sizes and find your fit. Once you know your size, you can order small, medium or large next time.

Not sure if you've got the right one? Lie down with the earplugs in, ideally on your side. They should stay in place, and you shouldn't feel any pressure.
