You do everything right. The skincare. The magnesium. Phone off by 10. And still you’re awake at 3am, staring at the ceiling. It’s not a mindset problem. It’s a noise problem. Low-level sound keeps your nervous system just alert enough to stop you reaching deep sleep. Every single night.

Questions? We've got answers.

Standard foam earplugs are designed for industrial noise — they block as much sound as possible. BOLLSEN Life+ are a passive silicone earplug (SNR 24 dB) that brings the volume down to a safer level — loud sounds like your alarm stay audible because they’re loud, not because highs pass through. They’re also reusable up to 100 times and made from soft medical-grade silicone, so they won’t irritate your ears or leave you with that plugged-cotton feeling in the morning.

Yes. This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is confidently yes. BOLLSEN Life+ filter low-frequency sound. Alarms, smoke detectors, and door buzzers operate at higher frequencies that pass through clearly. Thousands of customers rely on them every night without missing a single morning alarm.

They’re built for side sleepers. The patented conical design has no protruding stem, so there’s nothing pressing against your pillow or pushing back into your ear canal when you roll over. The silicone is medical-grade and genuinely soft. Most side sleepers tell us they forget they’re wearing them within five minutes of lying down.

BOLLSEN Life+ comes in three sizes. If you’re unsure, use AR KI TECH: upload two simple photos of your ears on your phone and our AI matches you to the exact size in seconds. It’s the same technology that’s brought our return rate down to 3%, compared to an industry average of 15–20%. No guesswork, no sending things back.

Up to 100 uses per pair when washed and stored properly using the included aluminium case. At £29.95 per pair, that works out to roughly 30p per night. Compare that to disposable foam earplugs at 10-20p per use with no washability and no fit quality, and Life+ is the obvious long-term choice for anyone serious about their sleep.

Yes, provided you keep them clean. BOLLSEN Life+ are made from BPA-free, PVC-free, latex-free medical-grade silicone, which is the same material used in medical devices precisely because it’s body-safe for extended contact. Wash them regularly with mild soap and warm water, let them dry fully before storing, and they’re perfectly safe for nightly use.

Simple: if you don’t sleep better with BOLLSEN Life+, return them within 40 days for a full refund. No forms, no conditions, no awkward questions. We offer 40 days rather than the industry-standard 30 because we know that forming a new sleep habit takes time. You need enough nights to know whether they’ve genuinely changed your rest — and we’re confident they will.

Life+ is rated at 24 dB reduction, independently certified by PZT GmbH in Germany (Notified Body No. 1974) across more than 1,700 tests. In practical terms: traffic outside, a humming boiler, a neighbour’s television, city ambient noise. The filter is tuned for low-to-mid frequency sound, which is the range that keeps light sleepers awake most often.

Most earplugs that fall out are the wrong size, or they’re foam that compresses unevenly. BOLLSEN Life+ uses a dual-lamella seal that creates a secure fit inside the ear canal without relying on expansion pressure. The AR KI TECH sizing service means you’re getting the size matched to your specific ear anatomy. A properly fitted Life+ should not move once seated, even if you shift position during the night.

Yes. Every pair of BOLLSEN Life+ ships with a compact aluminium travel case. It protects the earplugs when you’re not using them, keeps them clean between uses, and is small enough to live permanently on your bedside table alongside your other sleep essentials.

“Sleep quality isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of every other health habit you’re trying to build. When my clients struggle with light sleep, I tell them to fix their environment first: darkness, temperature, and noise. BOLLSEN Life+ handles the noise piece properly. The low-profile design means side sleepers actually keep them in all night, and they don’t fully isolate, so they’re not cut off from the world. Just protected from the sounds that break deep sleep cycles. For anyone serious about their rest, this is a practical, reliable tool.”

I spent about three months comparing different reusable earplugs after getting fed up with foam. BOLLSEN Life+ came out on top in every category I cared about: the certified 24 dB reduction is genuine (I tested with a sound level app), the fit stayed secure all night, and the silicone feels noticeably softer than the Loop alternatives I’d tried before.

The independent German certification was what convinced me to try these over the more heavily marketed competitors. Six weeks in and both pairs still look and perform exactly as they did on day one. The aluminium case is a lovely detail — it stops them getting lost or damaged at the bottom of my bag.

I’m a researcher and I actually went through the PZT certification data before purchasing. The 24 dB figure is consistent across the full frequency range that matters for sleep. Most cheap earplugs quote a headline SNR number that only applies at certain frequencies. BOLLSEN’s testing is thorough and the product performs as claimed.

I’ve been tracking my sleep with my Garmin for over a year. In the two weeks before starting with Life+ my average deep sleep was 47 minutes. In the two weeks after, it went to 1 hour 12 minutes. I wasn’t expecting numbers like that. I’d tried other brands and none of them moved the needle at all.
Chloe M. / Trustpilot
I was waking two or three times a night for years — always around 2 or 3am when the bins get collected outside or a car alarm goes off on the street. First night with Life+ I slept straight through to 6:30. That hadn’t happened in so long I genuinely didn’t believe it until it happened three nights in a row.
Saoirse D. / Facebook
I work early shifts and have always struggled to get enough sleep before 5am starts. The combination of Life+ and a decent sleep mask has completely changed my mornings. I wake up before my alarm now, which I genuinely never thought would happen. The alarm audibility claim is real — mine cuts through clearly every single morning.
Annika W. / Google
I’ve been a side sleeper my whole life and every earplug I’d ever tried became uncomfortable within an hour — that hard stem pressing into your ear when your head’s on the pillow. Life+ is completely flat. I wore them for eight hours straight on the first night and didn’t feel them at all. That alone is worth the price.
Marta K. / Trustpilot
I have quite sensitive ears and I’ve had reactions to cheaper silicone products before. The medical-grade silicone in Life+ is genuinely different — no irritation, no itching, even after three weeks of nightly use. I used the AR KI TECH sizing and got the medium, which fits perfectly without any pressure.
Freya L. / Google
Honestly, after one week I stopped noticing I was wearing them, which is exactly what you want. Previously I’d tried Loop and a couple of other brands. Both had a stem that would dig in if I rolled over in the night. Life+ just disappears. You put them in as part of getting into bed and forget about them until morning.
Simona A. / Trustpilot
I emailed about sizing and got a personal response within a few hours — not an automated reply, an actual answer. They walked me through the AR KI TECH process and recommended the small for me. It was exactly right. Customer service like this is rare from a product brand; it genuinely made me trust the company more.
Helena G. / Trustpilot
One of my earplugs was lost in transit. I contacted BOLLSEN and they sent a replacement pair free of charge, no questions asked. The 40-day guarantee is also completely genuine — a friend of mine returned a pair after five weeks for a full refund without any hassle. You can actually trust what they say.
Olivia N. / Google
Fast shipping (arrived next day), well-packaged, and the instructions for first use and cleaning are genuinely clear. I’ve bought from bigger earplug brands where the unboxing experience felt like an afterthought. BOLLSEN feels like a company that actually cares about what they’re sending out. Small details that add up to a lot of confidence in the product.
