Very comfortable, even while sleeping.
I use these to tame my wild tresses by washing my hair the night before and then quickly damp setting it in this funny but effective curling system. I frequently don't even use additional styling products on my hair, except for leave-in conditioning sometimes and it gives me great results each time. I just set it and sleep. It is that simple. The resultant curls are soft and springy ringlets that last all day long that I can simply run my fingers through and go the next morning. It is all padded and has a slick surface, so my hair does not get tangled in it, except occasionally when the tips of my hair are dry and stick in the hair band portion, as is common and expected with long hair anyway. The hairband portions on the tips of each segment are about the size of a medium cloth-covered hair band, and they are more than sufficient to firmly but gently hold the ends of even the thickest locks through the night. And, yes, I sleep in these quite easily. The adjustable band goes around your head as gently or tightly as you desire and is secured in place with velcro. I prefer mine to have a more gentle hold, so oftentimes it comes off my forehead during the night, but my wrapped hair keeps it from coming off completely. So far, it doesn't seem to affect my results when the band slips upwards off of my forehead. It does make it a bit more challenging when removing it, but even that is far easier than dealing with other forms of curling systems that I've tried. If you prefer to have fewer or looser ringlets, you can remove individual cushioned curling bases and use thicker hair segments for the remaining ones. It is that easy. I'd be hard-pressed to find a simpler or more effective way to get lovely ringlets without using harmful curling and styling products. These are silly looking on me at night, but make me look and feel great the next day.
