A very nice mask to aide in a great nights sleep
When I had surgery a few months ago I was unable to put my pillows over my head as I’d grown accustomed to doing. I have a CPAP machine with nose cushion mask and I used the pillows to hold that in place while blocking the light overnight. But that surgery meant I couldn’t use the pillows - I had to sleep on my back and propped a bit for two months. So I got a night mask and have slept all the better ever since. When my wife saw the difference in me she started to sleep with a mask as well - the darker night has made sleep deeper and more recuperative.<br /><br />We each have a mask we love (the same, gotten on Amazon), but we wanted a back up for her so she could wash that one from time to time. I saw this Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade and decided to give it a try. I’ll admit - she thought I was off base with the wrap around design - it would not fit or it would be too hot or... but she gave it a try. She loves it!<br /><br />1. This Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade wraps around the full head. I have a larger head, wearing a LG/XL baseball hat. She does not - hers is much smaller. This Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade fits both of our heads comfortably.<br /><br />2. I have not slept in this Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade, but I did try it on with my CPAP nose cushion mask - it does not sit right. I can get it closed and all the way around my head, but I use it (and the purpose is) so as to block out all light. With the CPAP on there is a large gap at the base of the mask where it goes over the nose piece. Unlike other masks I have, I cannot recommend this Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade for someone with this type of CPAP.<br /><br />3. The materials are excellent! This is a soft and “luxurious” wrap that feels cool and soft, making for a very comfortable experience. My wife did end up taking it off about halfway through the night, feeling it heated her head too much. To be fair, she has the same issue with pillows, but not with masks that have only the eyes covered with a strap around. I had it on only for a brief time, I felt I could go longer than my wife, but again, needing the CPAP I am unable to use it.<br /><br />4. What we both like is that there is a softening of sound with it on. We use a sound machine to keep nighttime sounds drowned out, but this adds to that - my wife really felt it helped her sleep a little more blocking out additional sound.<br /><br />5. The velcro is easy on/off and it is well attached to the wrap, keeping one from worrying it’ll detach - it’s secure.<br /><br />6. Looks nice. For the ladies, this has a nice, feminine look - my wife says so.<br /><br />As of this writing, my wife loves it - as do I, though it doesn’t allow me to use it - and will use it often. She does take it off it gets hot - but that’s something that she feels is a personal thing. In the end, she’s happy to have it and happy to recommend this Luxury Silk Sleep Mask - Tara Sartoria Artisan Handmade mask.
