Does okay to block out light OR as a heated mask but not both. Cord too short.
I will say, I like the IDEA of the whole "3d molding" that went into shaping this to allow airflow to your eyes instead of making yet another compress... but I think they tried a little too hard to protect that airflow with the result that it doesn't properly fit all users.<br /><br />By which I mean, I can use this as a heated mask and have it slid halfway down my nose, leaving enough of a gap at the bottom of my eyes that it will never work as a light-blocking mask, OR I can pull it up far enough to actually block the light but with the result that the (extremely hot) bottom of the mask is resting almost on top of my eyeballs. Nosepiece is simply too stiff for me to pinch it shut like I'd need to get both benefits at the same time.<br /><br />Also, never thought I'd be one to complain about how short the cord is, but it turns out, when you're trying to plug it into a surge protector that is directly under your bed, pull the cord over the bed, and then plug it into a mask positioned somewhere in the middle (bearing in mind that the top of my TWIN size mattress comes to less than two feet off the floor), 4 foot really doesn't leave you a lot of room to move. Especially as I have fallen asleep while wearing this on multiple occasions (usually long after the heat turned itself off) and woken up to find it unplugged as I tend to move around a lot in my sleep. Probably good that it means less risk of tangling in my sleep but I wouldn't mind having enough slack to use it when I want to shift to laying my stomach... which would put the mask's plug-in on the opposite side of the bed from where the surge protector is located.
