Alaska Bear Sleep Mask Silk Eye Cover with Shaped Padding for Pressure-Free Sleeping, Foam Insert, Upgrade Contour Over Conventional Flat Satin Eye Masks, Machine Washable

I love this sleep mask. The band that goes around your head is adjustable. The mask itself is so soft and the covering is silky smooth - and there are indentations for your eyes, so there is no pressure on your eyes. I find the quality is excellent, and it's a great design. You do not get hot wearing the mask, and it is very comfortable. It blocks the light. In the summer the light is so bright in my room, that it wakes me up too early. This mask is perfect for blocking the light and letting me sleep in.

I have used a number of sleep masks and this is my favorite. Very soft, lightweight and the strap at the back of the head is adjustable. I like the little padding which is comfortable and easily blocks light. I highly recommend. I'm going to buy another.

There were several issues blocking me from having not just a good nights sleep, I was willing to settle for just a descent nights sleep - I use a CPAP Machine every night, I have a Himalayan Salt Lamp about 3 feet from my eyes that produces ambient light 24 hours a day, and I do not produce enough Melatonin for my body to sleep all through the night, I usually (and my husband does too, sometimes) have to get up at least once for a potty run. I used to use Tart Cherry Concentrate which worked beautifully, but either I got used to it and it stopped working, or the increased amounts of meds I take nightly affected my sleep. Because I would wake up periodically, I never got into a deep REM sleep that then also had its own side effects, anxiety and frequent headaches. All of these factors resulted in a disturbed nights' sleep, and an overweight, irritable, sleepy person during the day / and I said overweight because I was too tired during the day to do much more than sit, watch TV, and along with eating - well, you know what happened.... So I started using this sleep mask and like the difference between night and day, my sleeping habits gradually changed. The first change (and as it turned out, the ONLY one necessary ) I made was using this sleep mask - within a week, I noticed I was waking up refreshed!!! I was not waking up with a headache. I was not TIRED all day - I had energy I hadn't had in a LONG time! Then I noticed that without changing my water routine at night - I wasn't even getting up for my nightly run!!! I didn't think it was going to be comfortable because it does rest on your eyelids, after a couple of days I didn't even notice it. I use it every time I close my eyes day or night. It's even comfortable using it with my CPAP Machine ( I pit my CPAPmask on first, then the Sleep Mask - it stays put, its, adjustable to use even if I'm sleeping in hair rollers, and I'm a much sweeter person after a good nights sleep!! It washes easily. The material is soft and comfortable. It's s nice size (adjustable strap and no Velcro to catch your hair) that it fits over my CPAP mask without letting light seep in around time nose! I'm buying my hubby and daughter each one now because they don't sleep well and it's probably because of surrounding light from their salt lamps too! One of my BEST purchase ever!!!

Works very well in blocking out all light including parking lot and building high intensity security lighting and moonlight. Adjustable strap sits comfortably on your head. Eye pads have concave padding on the inside so there’s no pressure on your eyes. Fabric is silk so it’s very smooth and comfortable on your face. Only downside is that it can get warm on your face if the temperature is elevated in your bedroom.

Pros: This mask works extremely well for me. The strap was already at the perfect tightness for my head; not too loose, not too tight. Obviously your mileage may vary, but it's adjustable, so there shouldn't be any issues. The fabric is very comfortable (silky smooth), so I really don't notice it on my face. And it stays on incredibly well. I've yet to have it slip far enough off that the light shines through and bothers me, which is all you can ask for. I alternate between sleeping on my back, side, and stomach, and it stays on very well. At only $10 USD, this mask is an absolute bargain. Cons: There is a little bit of light bleed at the bottom of the nose. That being said, it's not substantial enough to where it's something I personally notice when sleeping, even in a sun-soaked room. Also, while there is *some* contour that allows space for your eyes, it's very minimal, so it still rests on your eyes. I can't open them with the mask on. I'm not sensitive to having something pressed against my eye, but I do wake up a bit more crusty-eyed than normal. Again, it's not substantial enough to make or break for me, but if it's something you're sensitive too, I'd consider something with more of a cup to leave space for your eyes to breathe. I would give this 4.5 stars if I could, but since the cons don't bother me all that much, I'll go ahead and say 5 stars. If it was any more expensive, I'd say do more research, but since it's only $10, I'd say it's definitely worth giving a try if you're looking to buy your first sleep mask.

This is a great mask for the price. It fits my face perfectly so it blocks out every bit of light. It’s soft and silky and padding around the eyes relieves the eye pressure that some of the flat masks cause. Great design.

For our family’s Alaska trip this summer, in the Land of the Midnight Sun, we knew we would need some kind of light-blocker in order to get a decent sleep. It was really hard to tell from the photos, descriptions, and reviews, which products were actually superior, so we purchased 7 different sleep masks. After trying all of them for two weeks, we can give other buyers our comparative reviews. Listed below in rank order from our best to worst, here are the 7 masks we tried: ZGGCD • This was the first one that I tried, and it worked so great. After this one, the other masks were okay, but they were just not quite as good as this one. (except for MZOO which was very, very similar). This ZGGCD mask was priced fairly at $9.99. MZOO • Another great model. Nearly identical to the ZGGCD brand, but it has a large MZOO brand printed on the front. And it cost twice as much. (I paid $19.99) LKY • These masks came as a 3-pack for $9.99. They were an economical option that worked surprisingly well, and were not uncomfortable. These were unexpectedly much smaller than the other masks, but they really did work fine. The band seemed tight, but it was adjustable – I guess I just never adjusted it. These masks kept the light out, and the eye wells were deep enough. Two of my college kids liked them well enough that they borrowed these for another trip they are taking next month. Alaska Bear • I figured this mask was just made for the Midnight Sun! Quite a bit smaller than the extra plush masks. Not very thick either, but again to my surprise, the small masks worked just as well as the luxury models. The price for this one was on the upper end ($14.99). Zenssia • The satin looked and felt luxurious, and at the $19.99 price, it tied with MZOO for being the most expensive mask we tried. The velcro band stays secure, and did not get caught in my hair. The cloth over the ears actually felt nice. But, I can’t say this mask was nice to sleep in. If you didn’t keep the band tight, the mask sort of shifts or spins over my face as I move. And if I pulled the band tight, it seemed to put all the pressure right across my eyes. So this mask was a no-go. LitBear • At $14.39, this was on the pricier end. There is a nose bridge piece that helps block any sneaks of light, but I preferred the superior comfort of the masks that didn’t have that extra fabric bridge, over having every last peep of light obliterated. I can say the nose bridge had a nice cool feeling that I liked. But the critical problem for me was that my lashes brushed on the inside of this mask. MABAO • The mesh fabric on the outside does not speak comfort, but I realize that the outside fabric does not really rub on the skin, so it shouldn’t matter. However, the eye pockets in this one were just too shallow. I hadn’t even known that shallow eye wells could be a problem, but I am sure glad we had other masks with the deep eye wells. We bought this MABAO mask at the budget price of $5.99 I might have mentioned that I am a real mover in my sleep, and sometimes these masks fell off, but to my surprise that didn’t happen often. Many in the family are side-sleepers, and none had complaints about buckles or straps pressing into their heads. After trying these 7 masks, we felt we could offer some helpful feedback to other shoppers. My best two recommendations were ZGGCD ($9.99) as the best mask of all, and LKY which was a decent and functional mask, and there were THREE masks for the same price. Then there were the three that I just could not get comfortable with: Zennsia, LitBear, and MABAO. I wouldn’t recommend these. Happy travels everyone!

UPDATE: After posting this review, the seller reached out and proactively issued a full refund. While the mask shape still didn't work for my facial structure, their customer service is excellent. I have increased my rating from two stars to three stars to reflect the great support. The material of the mask feels very nice, and it blocks light reasonably well (usually). However, the foam inserts clearly press against my eyelids while I sleep, causing me to wake up with blurry vision every morning after wearing it. I tried loosening the strap significantly, but the issue persists. It’s possible this is just a mismatch for my specific head shape/facial structure, but waking up unable to see clearly for 30 minutes makes it unusable for me and potentially detrimental to long-term eye health. The types of sleep masks with the built in "eye cup" cutouts are probably a safer bet for most people, given that, you know, your eyes are important. Also, the mask often lets light in around the nose bridge, particularly when sleeping on your side. I like my Mzoo Sleep Mask that I got after trying this one!
