Whether you’re sleeping in a tent, bedding down in a rustic hostel or kipping in a campervan, a full eight hours of shut-eye will leave you energised for the day’s activities ahead. Soft, putty-style earplugs – either silicone or wax – are moulded to form a seal around the ear opening, rather than inserted into the ear canal. We tested the earplugs in our bed at home – sadly coronavirus meant we couldn’t try them on flights, in remote Scottish bothies or during wild camping expeditions – and we’ve graded them in terms of performance, functionality, design and price. Here are the results – our top eight earplugs that’ll guarantee a good night’s sleep, no matter where you’re travelling or adventuring.
