Decent little sleep mask…comfortable and functional.
This is the first time I’ve ever tried out a sleep mask, so I don’t really have much to compare it to. However, I am relatively happy with this purchase, and I do believe it made a difference in the quality of my sleep.<br /><br />The material of the mask is soft and comfortable. The band is adjustable to get a good fit…I just haven’t quite figured out where that is yet. It seems like the tighter the better, but then I noticed it slipping some when I put it as tight as I felt like it should be. When I loosened the fit a bit, it didn’t slip as much. Go figure.<br /><br />The 3D design is a good idea, and works well for the most part. I think I have a larger than average sized nose, and it still fits fairly well. The material itself does accomplish a total blackout of any light. However, a little light does seep in around the nose area where it doesn’t fit completely flush to my skin. I was able to eliminate 95% of this by simply adjusting the mask around my face until I was convinced it was in the best position.<br /><br />At one point during the night, my husband got up to go to the bathroom, and I took the opportunity to really test out the blackout feature. We keep the hall light on, so it gets pretty bright when we open the bedroom door. I lay there with my eyes open, ready for the light to come in, right up until he got back in the bed and I realized I wasn’t going to see any. So yes, it does eliminate all light coming in through the material. It’s just, like I said, a small bit around the nose area where you can see light if you open your eyes just the right way.<br /><br />I also felt like I got a better night’s sleep than I usually do, and it was much easier for me to wake up in the morning than is typical for me. So my sleep quality must have been better since I didn’t struggle to wake up—and I cannot tell you how appreciative I am of that! I will continue using the mask at night to see if this was just a fluke or if it really makes that big of a difference long term. I did receive a discount on this product to test it out and give my honest opinion about it.
