ALASKA BEAROrganic Silk Sleep Mask Cool Super Smooth Eye Cover Genuine Mulberry Silk Face Skin Care, Soft Filling, Lightweight for Home or Travel Use (Original Black, Flat)

I've actually bought two of these, even though the reason I bought the second one was because I had lost the first one. If you're a disorganized or forgetful person who might also have a cluttered bedroom, do yourself a favor - either hang your mask on a hook, put it in a safe drawer, or keep it in one spot where you'll always know to find it. The little flimsy bag they give you is useless, although - let's be real, that's not what you're paying for - and I lost the first one very quickly because it's small, dark, and has slippery fabric that can hide easily in the laundry basket. Of course, I found the first one on the same day the second one arrived in the mail. I'm not complaining at all however, this is an awesome enough buy that I'm more than happy to own two of them.The band fits very well and comfortably around the head, without putting too much pressure on the eyes. It might seem like the elastic band adjusts and slides too easily at first, but once it's in place it stays put and I think it's actually designed to adjust easily in order to prevent it from getting twisted, tangled, or too tight around your head while you're sleeping. I've worn the mask with my hair in a pony tail, braids, and down - the mask stayed in place, comfortably, every time. My boyfriend also has long hair, although it's much heavier and thicker than mine, but he didn't have any problems wearing it either. He's actually stolen my extra mask a few times, because he says he likes to use it when he has to sleep during the day. Size wise, it fits my face and eye area very well. It's long enough to fall past my cheekbones and sufficiently block out any light, but it's not too long that it covers too much of my face and it fits well above my nose without being weird. I'm an average sized female with an average sized head, so my opinion is that it would fit just about any size face or head comfortably (maybe a few exceptions for especially petite or tall, lol). The fabric is very soft and smooth, so it feels pretty awesome on your face. It's light enough that it doesn't seem too obtrusive and/or awkward to wear while falling asleep. The fabric on the main part of the mask doesn't seem to retain any heat or moisture either, so you won't wake up with your face feeling sticky or sweaty. I've been using it to sleep, approximately every other day or so, for the past 3-4 weeks. I haven't had any problems with the quality, it always works very well, helps me fall asleep quickly, and I haven't had any problems with it reacting to my skin or causing any breakouts (huge plus! lol).All in all, I definitely give this sleep mask a 5 star rating ~ Highly recommend! (I'm not one of those lucky ducks who receives products for free or at discount to write reviews, either. Although that does sound like a pretty awesome gig.)

I once stayed in an Airbnb that didn't have curtains and faced east, meaning that every morning I was awoken by the sun. That was the first time I realized that wearing an eye mask to bed could have its benefits. Because I travel a lot for business, I find that a good eye mask really helps me fall asleep faster, deeper, and for a longer time.I have tried a few eye masks, but this one is simply the most comfortable and durable one that I have found. Even after using it for a few months it still maintains its softness and form, although it is cheap enough to repurchase at regular intervals.If you are looking for a basic and comfortable eye mask that stays in place and gets the job done, look no further!

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 $5.99I 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!
