ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask with Deep Contoured Eye Cups, Machine Washable

I rarely ever write reviews, but this sleep mask is so awesome I felt compelled to express my gratitude. First off, I’m extremely picky about quality and products doing what they claim. Secondly, my head is on the smaller side so finding a mask that doesn’t fall off can be tricky. I looked at so many sleep masks and read tons of reviews before this one ended up in my cart. I work 12 hr night shift, so blocking out light for sleep (even with black out shades) is of the utmost importance. I generally have a tough time with things in my face or head and can’t even sleep with my hair down due to being a light sleeper, so finding a mask that isn’t irritating was also important. This mask blocks out 100% of light (even with all the lights on) it lifts completely off your eyes, so you can open your eyes and blink with the mask on. I wear false eyelashes so finding an eye mask that worked with lashes was also important to me. This mask fits my head without falling off and is completely adjustable. It can be made very small, medium, or even large. It is great quality all around. You can tell as soon as you open up the nice box and feel it. This mask is NOT some cheap junky piece of material with velcro. It is high quality, completely adjustable, and does not contain any velcro (many do and don’t last). This mask is not irritating to wear and the fact I can completely open and close my eyes without them even grazing the material is awesome. The price point for this product is an amazing deal in my opinion. I will be buying more for gifts to my fellow night shifter friends and a back up for myself in case I travel and lose it. If you wear a sleep mask and are in the market for a new one you can’t lose getting this one. Don’t even bother looking at the others. This is 100% honest review, I didn’t get anything in exchange for my feedback. Put this in your cart!!

Tried 5 different 'side sleeper mask' and this one was the best fit for me. Even in broad daylight, once I wear this it's instant blackout. Pitch dark perfect. I understand it's also a function of biology, with your nose bridge and everything. For my Asian nose, it was perfect. As for the lashes, While I don't have fake lashes, the cups allow you to completely open your eyes without your lashes touching the cups. So your fake lashes should be safe. No eye pressure whatsoever. Side sleeping, no problem because the band is thin enough. It does ride a bit on your earlobes so that took a bit of getting used to. Not painful by any means. Material is 10/10 good quality. So if you're looking for a complete darkness even under the sun, this is your best bet. In fact, I bought 2 extra because this is something I cannot leave without. Highly recommended. Price, function, form and quality - this beats the rest.

I’ve been wearing black out masks for 20+ years. This is my favorite one ever, and so affordable! It’s soft, lightweight, well designed and comfortable strap, full blackout, suits back, side or stomach sleepers, lets you open your eyes, and is washable. I’ve already ordered a second and will probably get a few more so I’ll have a pristine clean one on hand. Highly recommend.

This mask is good, but not perfect. I was hopeful that the additional nose piece would prevent light from sneaking in around the bottom of my nose. It did reduce the amount of light, but did not eliminate it entirely. The fact is, to completely block out all light the mask and nose piece would have to perfectly form around my face in the nose and cheek area. It can't. But it does get close. I've tried several sleep masks and this is the one that I am currently using, it's the best one I've used so far, but I'm going to continue my search. The fabric is very soft and silky which feels great on my face. But it also makes it slide around easily. The strap is adjustable and I can tighten it so that the mask holds in place better, but then it puts pressure on my head and is uncomfortable. I'm a light sleeper, so I can't have pressure on my head. There is also a plastic piece on the edge of the strap that hurts my head if I lay on it the wrong way. Might not be a big deal for most people, but being a light sleeper it does effect me. The nose "flap" is kinda awkward. The extra fabric hanging down does help to block more light that seeps in from under the nose area. My husband says that it makes me look like Batman when I wear it, lol! I anticipate that in the cold weather months I will appreciate that extra nose flap of fabric keeping my nose warm. I sleep on my side, which also contributes to the mask sliding around. The mask is a little oversized and the additional nose flap help to still cover my eyes even if the mask has moved while I toss and turn in my sleep. I admit, I'm probably a difficult customer because of my sleep issues. Overall, I will continue to use this mask until I find something "perfect".

This is my 1st purchase of a sleep mask. I bought it for an international flight. I researched them all before I settled on the ALASKA BEAR brand. I am so glad I bought this one. It is SO soft, blocks out all the light and has a super soft contour fit that snugs your eyes. It really helped me relax and tune out others, especially when the person in front or behind opens their window shade to a bright sun when the rest of the cabin is dark. I will give these as gifts this year.

I use a nose cushion cpap mask (Dreamware) and the air from the nosepiece always ricochets off of my pillow (I am a side sleeper), blowing into my eyes. I wake up at least once each night and in the morning my eyes feel dry. I got this mask to try to solve this problem. The mask is large; when I put it on, the lower parts on each side of my nose rest on top of the edges of the nose cushion and cpap mask below my eyes. Some light isn't blocked, because the cpap mask lets light through, but it keeps the air off of my eyes and I am sleeping through the night. The light blocking doesn't matter to me.

Quality item. Soft. Washes well. Gives a total blacked out effect!

There is nothing bad about this, per se, but I wouldn't say it is significantly better than any other similar brand, either, which is a disappointment. Last year, while questing to find a way to have a totally dark environment since fully blacked out windows are impossible (I need to use a window air conditioner in the summer and often need an open window even in cold temperatures due to radiator heat), I bought another brand and was frustrated by the fact that it was completely impossible to wear them both effectively and comfortably with a CPAP mask (either full face or nasal), and doing so for a few weeks, the best I could, eventually wore the mask down so that it was entirely ineffective. Based on the description here and the photos of the design, and the repeated claims that it was perfect for side-sleepers and other people whose bedtime issues might cause movement or pulling on the mask, I thought this one might be more suitable to someone who has other stuff in other areas on their face, but I was disappointed again--no matter what, these masks seem to be templated around the nose in a way that it will block devices, meaning you either you have to put a CPAP mask OVER it, tightly and uncomfortably, and in such a way that the eye mask will be destroyed relatively quickly, or you have to put the eye mask over the CPAP mask, in which case it will not block light. It is what it is, I didn't expect miracles, but please keep all this in mind if you wear any kind of CPAP or other air delivery system.

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

I’m really happy with this sleep mask! It’s very comfortable to wear, soft on the skin, and blocks out the light really well. I was surprised by how much it actually helped me relax and fall asleep faster. I sometimes have trouble falling asleep, especially when there is even a little bit of light in the room, but this mask makes a noticeable difference. It creates a dark and calming environment and helps me switch off and get ready for sleep. It also stays comfortably in place during the night without feeling too tight or putting pressure around my eyes. The material feels nice and lightweight, so I barely notice I’m wearing it. Overall, I really like this sleep mask and I’ve been sleeping better since I started using it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has trouble falling asleep or is sensitive to light. Great quality and very useful!

Súper suave, hace un black out completo, muy cómodo. Mejora mucho tu calidad de sueño y cuanto tardas en dormir. Se me hacía incluso un poco caro al comprarlo, pero vale cada peso.

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.
