Best sleep mask EVER...
Caution: I am going to gush about this sleeping mask!<br /><br />I have been in search of the perfect sleeping mask for 20 years. I’ve found ones that I liked using at the time I purchased them - but looking back, they were more decorative than functional. They were better than nothing, but there was a light of light creeping through. For quite a long time, silk outer, cotton-ish  flat sleep masks were all that seemed available.<br /><br />Masks then became available with newer, more elastic fabrics like this mask began to be produced. The masks also seemed to get bigger at that time, especially when compared to the flimsy decorative silk masks. I liked my first mask of the “new generation" very much. It barely let any light in at all. But it also came with such a large band that even though it had a velcro adjuster for size, it was way too big. I added in a very small safety pin to tighten it up. Never quite got there. The mask was also a flat front - which these new thicker masks made quite warm. It had it’s good and bad points.<br /><br />Then I tried this mask and I knew that my search was over. That does sound dramatic, I know, but I love this mask! It functions literally like a blindfold, as advertised. It has much the same fabric and thickness of my previous mask, but the way that the eye covers are 3D contoured is EVERYTHING. I hadn’t realized just how miserable and warm I had been during my long search until I came across this mask that makes no contact with my eyes. It doesn’t cause any unwelcome warmth in the mask area. I use it all the time and can’t imagine using another mask. It has the same type of around the back of the head with velcro band, but this band and it’s velcro are thoughtfully sized.<br /><br />I’ve recommended this mask to all my friends who use masks and purchased others for my mother and my sister. The price point is quite reasonable and allowed me to send them as “thinking of you,” gifts. All that have tried it in my circle love as much as I do. I give it my highest recommendation.
