Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers Patented Design, Cup-Shaped and Extra-Soft, 100 Blackout Eye Mask Shades Cover for Men and Women Home or Travel, Machine Washable, Tangerine

I first looked into this sleep mask because it looked unique in that there was more fabric coverage down around the nose (like a true blindfold), and I thought that would be great for blocking out a lot of light. But just a disclaimer, the mask shown in the pictures (as of today, 3/9/23) is the ORIGINAL model. The newer model (which is what I received) is more contoured around the nose, without that additional fabric flap. After reading through some other recent reviews, I saw that if I were to reach out to the company directly, there was a good chance that they might send me one of the original models if they still had it in stock. Spoiler alert, they DID send me the original model! So 5 stars for customer service for Alaska Bear, hooray for a company that actually cares! (I cannot say the same for another sleep mask company, Bucky, as the mask I recently bought from them literally started falling apart a few months after I began using it, and I tried reaching out to them multiple times with no response). So, my overall review after comparing both models... in an unforseen plot twist, the newer contoured model actually blocks MORE light than the original. With the original model, the extra fabric flap seems to hold the mask further from your face, which allows more light in. Maybe if there was more fabric it would just pool around your nose a bit more, but it's taut enough that your nose holds the mask away from your face just enough to let additional light in at the bottom. So for anyone who may be disappointed that the mask they received looks different than the one pictured, don't be! The newer model is actually an improvement, in my opinion. My overall review of this mask (the newer model) is that it really seems like a high quality product. The fabric is super soft and overall it is very comfortable. There is no Velcro to tangle in your hair, and the adjustment clasps are slim enough that I literally can't even feel them when I'm lying on my side OR my back. Also, the seams are SEWN, rather than glued or heat sealed, so it likely won't start falling apart the way several of the other cheaper masks seem to do these days (just click on review photos for other masks you are considering, that should tell you if it's an issue or not). And I think it fits more comfortably and blocks more light then any other mask I've tried in the past. So I'm likely a convert for life now, I genuinely love it this mask!!!

A first sight, I thought I had spent too much money on this sleep mask. It was much smaller than I expected. But having used it for several nights/days - I now think it is well worth what I paid for it. The mask is very soft, and very comfortable to wear. I've only had one issue with it. The head strap is adjustable, and the buckle for adjusting is made of hard plastic and one night I woke up with that buckle pressing into the back of my head. I attribute that to having thin hair. That happened only once. The mask works well for blocking out the light. Just recently I slept in one weekend and I usually wake up as soon as the sun starts shining - but having wore this mask, I slept well past sunrise. I don't know if this mask is better than any of the others, but I'm more than happy with this one.

I struggle with finding a mask that is comfortable and stays in place. This one delivers! It fits well and feels soft without the heavy pressure on my eyes. And it blocks the light well. Will definitely buy again!

3.5 stars rounded up. I've had this eye mask for 5 months and, overall, it's great. The material is soft and smooth, it doesn't leave creases on my face, I don't find it to be overly hot, it's super easy to adjust, it doesn't rub uncomfortably on my ears, it does block all light for me, I can open my eyes without them rubbing, neither the tag nor the low profile adjustment slider bothers me, etc. I'm primarily a side sleeper and rarely a back sleeper. It's comfortable in both positions. It came in a plastic ziplock style bag (a cheap one for sure, but better than nothing) which I appreciate, as I continue to keep it there when not in use. I don't wear it every night, more like 3 days a month depending upon how dry my eyes are. I have two concerns, though. A minor concern is the wrinkles in between the eye pads. No big deal right now, but it worries me that the padding might start to disintegrate soon or rip open. The much larger concern is that it's not ideal for people with small heads. I have a small head and it's so difficult to find items that work well in a world full of big heads with the one-size-fits-all approach. The circumference of my head is about 20" where my eyes are and even on the tightest adjustment, as I stretch this over my head for use, it seems to keep stretching out a bit and it started close to be being too large to begin with. I'm worried it's going to just start sliding down my face soon. As you can see in one of my pictures, you can only adjust the tightener/slider to a certain point because it then runs into another seam so nothing bothers your ears. I really wish they had a S/M and L/XL version, so those of us with small heads don't have to worry that we can only stretch it over our head so many times before it simply won't stay in place anymore. Furthermore, when you have a small head and the eye cups alone are about 7.75" wide, the raised eye cups are already nearly touching my ears and I wish they were a bit more narrow too. I know it's incredibly difficult to get people to do anything, like measure, before they purchase and then complain online 😂, but most people at least know if they have a small or big head and a size differential would be so helpful. If you have a big head, this is 5 out of 5 stars. If you have a small head, it's the best I've found so far, but not flawless. Good luck to my fellow small heads out there.

Nice silk sleep mask. Lightweight, smooth, and soft. Totally covered light. The adjustable strap makes sizing easily. Had a nice sleep on flight.

La lumière ne passe pas ! Il suffit de bien placer le haut du nez, pile sur le creux du haut de notre nez, sans avoir peur que le masque couvre un peu le front (je le précise car on peut avoir tendance à vouloir le baisser plûtôt que de penser à le monter). Super matière. On ne le sent pas; ultra confortable! J'ai les cils très longs et pourtant ça ne les écrasent pas. En plus il est magnifique et il vient avec un petit sac transparent. Juste parfait❣️

Die beste Maske die ich jemals hatte! Sehr weich, angenehm, drückt nicht, blockiert der Licht. Und was mir sehr wichtig ist- ist nicht zu warm im Sommer zu nutzen! Wunderbar.

Mucho mejor que los antifaces con banda elástica.

Little bit chunky and let's light in when I lay on my side. Was prepared to pay for a premium product but this isn't much better than my cheaper mask it was replacing. Just ok.
