Our verdict
Where it wins
- Cheapest earplug on this list by a wide margin
- Molds to any ear shape rather than relying on stock sizing
- Sits over the ear canal opening instead of inside it, which some sleepers find more comfortable
- Long-standing, widely available brand made since 1962
Where it loses
- 22 dB NRR is the lowest rating among the earplugs here
- Putty picks up lint and hair oil, so each pair has a limited useful life
- Less durable long-term than silicone or foam designed for repeated reuse
Mack's Pillow Soft is the low-cost, no-fuss option: press it into shape, cap the ear canal opening, done. It will not out-block a good foam or silicone plug, but for the price it is a reasonable way to try moldable earplugs before spending more.
Common questions
Do these go inside the ear canal?
No. Mack's Pillow Soft is molded over the outer ear canal opening rather than inserted, which is different from foam or silicone plugs that push inside.
How many times can I reuse a pair?
Mack's markets them as reusable for a few nights each before the putty gets too dirty or loses its tack, which is why they come in multi-pair packs.
What is the noise reduction rating?
22 dB NRR, on the lower end compared to foam or silicone insert plugs.
