Customer Reviews

Very comfy except for nose
Most of the sleep masks I've looked at seem to ignore that people have noses. They make some small adjustment for a nose (which the designers must believe is the size of a thimble and on the upper lip). This mask is no exception. Aside from that, it is quite comfortable, and I was able to modify it into a very comfortable and light-blocking mask, if an ugly one.

This mask is of the "rests on the eyelids" type. It is made from "thermal memory foam" which is soft yet firm, and is covered with a black synthetic velour/velvet type material. There is a roll of foam/velour at the bottom to rest on the cheeks and a small indentation in the roll for the nose. As with many masks, I found that the nose allowance was hopelessly small, and the mask gapped badly at the bottom. Other than that, it was quite comfortable. The velour felt nice against my skin and did not irritate, as many synthetic materials do. The foam did countour itself nicely to my face, except at the bottom. I was able to slide the wide adjustable strap down so it covered my ears; this gave some sound blocking and also helped to keep ear plugs in place.

Because the mask "almost" worked for me, and was quite nice except for the gap, I decided to experiment with it, to see if I could make it work, and I was able to. I cut the threads holding the cheek roll so that it hung down straight from the mask, then cut a slit straight up from the nose indentation, about 2 inches. This causes the mask to be much longer and to lie flatter against the face, and in addition gives a nice gap for the nose to poke through. The result is extremely comfortable and has no light-admitting gaps, even when I "scrunch up" my face. Plus, my nose doesn't have pressure on it, and can breathe. It is a bit ugly, as the foam pokes out from the slit a little, but it works.

Sleeping better
I bought two of these sleep masks, one for myself and one for my husband because he works a late shift and we need to sleep during some sunlight. Since your body needs melatonin to fight cancers and stay young, keeping out light is important while you sleep. I sleep much better and feel and look more refreshed using the mask. My husband won't wear his because the strap is a little thick for him and he feels it there and can't sleep. That doesn't seem to bother me since it is soft and doesn't press into your head. Everyone is different. This product really does block the light and it feels very soft though bulky. Great for your health if you sleep during times of light.

Good
These aren't exactly the same as the Sharper Image masks, but they're very close. The price is great and they are the best sleep masks! We get a lot of light in our bedroom in the morning and they block everything out. They're also really comfortable. I can sleep the whole night without my mask falling off. (which is good because it doesn't do you any good if you have to wake up to put it back on when the sun starts coming up!) I just bought more for my husband and I in case we ever lose ours!
