ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask 2 Straps, Mulberry Silk, Twin Thin Elastic Bands Stay Put All Night, Smooth Eye Mask Two Adjustable Head Strings and Nose Baffle

I received the Alaska Bear 2 strap sleep mask a few days ago, and couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. After reading the reviews on the other site and recognizing that I toss and turn in bed, I opted for the two strap unit. This is my first sleep mask I've ever used, and I purchased it so that I could block out the bedside light when my wife reads before bed, as well as to take on camping trips. While I haven't taken this camping, I feel that it will perform well under those conditions.Pros:-Lightweight, comfortable silk mask that does not interfere with R.E.M. sleep/eye movement.-Mask stays in place all night long.-Blocks out even strong light. I can have the bright master light on and still go to sleep. This will come in handy during camping expeditions, too.-Straps are easily adjustable, and with a bit of playing, you can get a conformation that works for you. I prefer having the top strap tighter than the bottom.-I actually sleep better and deeper! The first night I tried it, I had a really truncated sleep schedule. I normally need about 8 hrs sleep to feel rested. I went to bed around 1:30 am and woke up around 5:45 am feeling just as rested as 8 hrs of sleep! WOAH! I just used it for the second night, and while I went to bed earlier, I still woke up more refreshed than without the mask!-Construction appears sturdy. I believe that this will last and stand up to many nights' use and the rigors of travel.Cons:-Sits pretty heavy on the nose and leaves a red mark on the nose. It goes away an hour or so after taking off the mask. It might be that I have a strap too tight, so I think this is solvable.I'm very pleased with my purchase! Thank you for making an excellent product.Update 3/2/17: The Alaska Bear customer service team helped me find a better fit for my physiology. I have a very thin face and prominent nose, and I had to pull the regular mask tight to block light from coming through the bottom of the mask, which caused the redness. Alaska Bear suggested that I try the same model with a nose baffle. It works perfectly; I can wear the mask a bit looser and no more redness! Thank you, Alaska Bear, for your wonderful customer service!

Soft, silky, comfortable and with the nose baffle the best light blocking I've ever had. I own two of these now and will not buy other face masks because nothing else is good enough. Quality is excellent and I've had these for years now. The weight is just right and makes me feel relaxed when I put it on.

This is the 3rd sleep mask I have owned. The previous 2 came from a different company & they only lasted 3 months before they began to rip & tear. They were just not very good quality. The Alaska Bear 2 straps natural sleep mask is fantastic. It is super soft & the 2 straps stay in place which is a miracle because I thrash around a lot. I was worried when I ordered it that it would be too big for my petite (or as my doctor not so nicely calls my "abnormally small head") but it fits really well. The straps are adjustable so if you have a normal or larger head it would fit you as well. The other great thing is it completely blocks out the light. My hall light needs to be on for my children at night & it shines really bright in my room but with this mask on I can't even tell its on. Its great for a day sleeper too, I have narcolepsy & chronic fatigue syndrome so I frequently nap during the day & it keeps all the sunlight out as well. Another nice thing is it doesn't push down on your nose like some other brands do (my previous masks did that making it very difficult to breathe), but it still manages to keep the light out. It really is super comfortable & so very soft which is my favorite feature. Its super easy to keep clean because it comes with a little bag to store it in. It also came with ear plugs but I can't really say much one way or the other about those since I don't use them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality mask that stays put no matter how much you move.

It is a simple design but stays put on my face at night. I put one strap above and one strap below my ear so it doesn't ride up or down. The thing I don't like is the piece of material over the nose. If it was just about 1/8 of an inch shorter, it would be better. When I exhale, it flaps on my nose. Thankfully a needle and thread fixed that problem. Great for side sleepers. The price for it is too steep though for the quality. If it didn't have two straps, this review wouldn't be as high. But it is soft and size is good. Most of light is blocked.
