Best sleep glasses in the UK (2026)

Our pick for most UK buyers is SleepSpec. Its deep-amber lenses block 98% of blue-green light across 400–520 nm, and it costs £29.99 with free UK delivery. For prescription lenses, look at BlockBlueLight, Swanwick or BON CHARGE. For a red lens that filters further into green light, BlockBlueLight NightFall and BON CHARGE both state 100% up to 550 nm. The cheapest orange-lens option is the Uvex Skyper.

Written by SleepSpec. We make one of the five pairs below and have put it first; our reasons are in its entry. Every other brand’s price and figures come from its own UK website or its Amazon UK listing, checked on 23 October 2026. We have not lab-tested other brands’ lenses.

1. SleepSpec: our pick for most UK buyers

SleepSpec makes one pair. Its deep-amber lenses block 98% of blue-green light across 400–520 nm, which covers the 480–490 nm band the body clock is most sensitive to. It costs £29.99 with free UK delivery, estimated at 2–3 days. That is less than half the price of the other sleep-glasses brands here. Amber keeps more natural colour than dark-red lenses, so screens and text stay usable. It comes in one unisex 23 g frame with a hard case.

Pick it if: you want an amber pair for the evening without paying £75–£100.

Look elsewhere if: you need prescription lenses or a choice of frames. It usually fits over prescription glasses, but it is not a fit-over model.

2. Swanwick Sleep Swannies

Swanwick sells Sleep Swannies as deep-amber night-time glasses and says they block 99% of sleep-disrupting blue light. Its UK product page gives no wavelength range. The Classic frame costs £99.99. Other frame styles are available, including a fit-over model at £119.99 and prescription versions. Delivery is free on mainland UK orders, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pick it if: you want an established brand with a wide choice of frames.

Look elsewhere if: you want the wavelength range stated, or a lower price.

3. BlockBlueLight SunDown and NightFall

BlockBlueLight’s UK store sells two night-time lenses at £74.95. The amber SunDown is stated to block 100% of blue light from 380–500 nm. The red NightFall is stated to block 100% of blue and green light from 380–550 nm. Prescription versions start at £134.95 and readers at £99.95. UK delivery costs £2.95 on orders under £79. You can return within 30 days of delivery but pay the postage, and prescription and reading glasses can’t be returned.

Pick it if: you need prescription or reading lenses, or want a red lens.

Look elsewhere if: price matters most.

4. BON CHARGE Brooklyn

The BON CHARGE Brooklyn has a red lens stated to block 100% of blue and green light between 400 and 550 nm, and the brand publishes spectrometer results on the product page. It costs £99.95 on the UK store, which qualifies for free shipping on orders over £99. You can return within 30 days of receipt. Prescription and reader versions are available.

Pick it if: you want a red lens with published test results.

Look elsewhere if: you want colours to look more natural, since red lenses change colours more than amber.

5. Uvex Skyper S1933X

The Uvex Skyper is safety eyewear with an orange lens, sold on Amazon UK as blue-light-blocking computer glasses. At £26.35 from a third-party seller, it is the cheapest pair here. The Amazon UK listing states no blocking percentage or range, though US distributors list it as absorbing over 98% of blue light. Delivery dates depend on the seller.

Pick it if: price matters most.

Look elsewhere if: you want the figures stated on the UK listing, or glasses designed for evening wear rather than safety work.

How we chose

We included branded glasses that UK buyers can order in pounds, with an amber, orange or red lens. All are sold for evening use except the Uvex, which is sold for computer use. We compared five things: lens colour, the blocking percentage and wavelength range each brand states, UK price, UK delivery and returns. We put SleepSpec first because it is the lowest-priced pair here that is sold for evening use and states both figures.

How to compare blocking figures

Brands measure across different ranges, so a higher percentage over a wider range is not a like-for-like comparison. Check that the range covers 480–490 nm, the band the body clock is most sensitive to. Every range stated on this page does. Red lenses filter further into green light, up to 550 nm, so they change colours more than amber. See amber, red and clear lenses compared and how to choose blue-light glasses for sleep in the UK.
