Alaska Bear Natural Silk Sleep Mask, Blindfold, Super Smooth Eye Mask (Blossom Almond)

I have a smaller head, sinus issues, and grind my teeth, and I had run out of options with eye masks because they usually cater to larger heads and mostly back sleepers. This thing is perfect. It’s not 100% light blockage for me but pretty close; I like the headband to be over my ears to avoid pain, and this provides that in addition to no clasps or velcro. Perfect for side sleeping, keeps my eyes without direct pressure, and my head not pinching anywhere while wearing it. Overall I highly recommend it, after one wash. We will see how well it does after several washes.

This is a review for 3 different silk sleep mask products I ordered all at the same time, which I picked out based on information from both sleep mask review sites and amazon reviews.Alaska Bear Silk sleep maskJimoo Silk sleep maskBeeVines mulberry silk sleep mask (2 pack)The design of these masks are all very, very similar. Their size, shape and strap adjustment are all nearly the same with only minor differences. As one might expect, because of this I found all of them performed basically the same.Common complaints I noticed when looking at sleep mask reviews were:- Dye from mask bleeding on pillow/face.- Strap adjustment plastic being uncomfortable as one's head laid on it.- Mask putting pressure on the eyes from being too tight.- Light bleeding in/ under mask around nose, or through the mask itself.Addressing the common complaints of this style of sleep mask mentioned above:- I have had no issues with any of the 3 products bleeding dye. I wash them in room temperature water with soap nut liquid, rinse, press (not wring!) the excess water out and hang to air dry.- The plastic strap adjuster can be a bit uncomfortable at certain angles, depending on where it is and how you tend to lay your head when sleeping. See more details under the specific product reviews.- At first I also thought this was an issue, because I hadn't loosened the adjustment strap enough. You really want to loosen it more than you think you do, it'll stay! For me I found once it no longer put any pressure across the eyes it was about right. There is a slight trade off of the mask shifting a little if you toss your head around a lot during the night but it's easy to shift back in place even if you're mostly asleep.- There is a slight bit of light bleed around the nose, most noticeable if the mask has shifted to one side or the other during sleep. It's generally not been an issue unless your sleeping under the sun/ very bright light, or the light happens to be angled low such that it's coming from your feet up towards your face. There's been no issues with light coming through any of the masks.As for specific things to note about each one:Alaska BearNatural Silk Sleep Mask, Blindfold, Super Smooth Eye Mask (White)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L8RYFWF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1Of the 3 this was the only one with a small ID tag sewn into the side near where the strap attaches. It hasn't gotten in the way or been noticeable. There's several cute patterns/ embroidery options, but it was the most expensive of the 3. The adjustment strap size is the same for Alaska Bear and Jimoo. For my average-sized head the plastic adjustment mechanism ends up off center-middle-ish of the back of my head, making it slightly less comfortable for back-sleeping.J Jimoo storeNatural Silk Sleep Mask, Super-Smooth & Soft Eye Mask with Adjustable Strap (Grey)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X1454P8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1I appreciated that this one came in several moderate mostly unpatterned shades other than black/ white and had no embroidery. As there's no embroidery you can reverse it and use the other side as well between washes. Of the 3 it feels the thinnest yet still has no issues blocking light. As it's thinner it drapes slightly better than the other two. The adjustment strap size is the same for Alaska Bear and Jimoo. For my average-sized head the plastic adjustment mechanism ends up off center-middle-ish of the back of my head, making it slightly less comfortable for back-sleeping.BeeVinesSilk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack Mulberry Silk Eye Mask with Adjustable Straphttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LTGMVBX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1This one was probably the cheapest per mask, yet hasn't lost out to either of the other two except in one place: color/ decoration options. It does have a smaller adjustment strap than the other two but as long as you don't have a super large head there should be no issues. I think I have a fairly average-sized american head and this fits just fine, though I have it nearly all the way loosened. As such the plastic adjustment mechanism is at the side of my head on this one and not as comfortable for side-sleeping.

Comfortable to sleep with. The strap is just right, not too thick. Just can't beat how comfy & effective they are.

The product is super soft, comfortable, and blocks out all light but if you are a person who tosses and turns a lot the Velcro comes undone and it falls off which can be quite annoying

I’ve tried a lot of different eye masks over the years and this one is the best. It’s soft, doesn’t press on my eyes and blocks out all of the light.

Finally, a mask that actually works for side and stomach sleepers. It has a nice wide band that is snug but not too tight and the eye cut outs are great in that there's room for your eyes to move and blink and it doesn't put any pressure on them. I didn't notice much shifting around at all since the band really holds the mask in place and it provides a nice amount of cushioning without it bulking out on the sides as some other masks I had tried were doing. Finally, it fully blocks out light....there's nothing coming thru this at all. I liked this mask so much that I actually purchased a second one as a backup while it was half off. Highly recommend!!!!

These are the most comfortable sleep masks I've used. I have three pairs. I'm a side sleeper, so others I could not use because they have metal clips on the side that can hurt. These don't. And they really do stay in place. Very happy, and definitely worth the money.

Very comfortable and is a great blackout eye mask for sleeping. I have quite a few of these from this brand.
