Review (5/5): Best Sleep Mask
This is my favorite sleep mask. Lightweight, soft, comfortable and washable (on delicate in a lingerie bag). It's very comfortable to wear - I don't even notice the strap or where the velcro is. And it does a fantastic job blocking out the light. I've even used it in the middle of the day to nap and there's no light coming through. I also like that the lower eye part has some extra padding.
I never noticed a smell, even when first taken out of the bag. Maybe a slight "new" material smell. But I lightly spritz mine with some lavender oil, let it air out for a day, and I smell nothing but a light lavender scent.
The only downside is eventually the elastic stretches so much that the mask won't stay on. But that's not unexpected and normally takes well over a year (I use mine every night).
This is the perfect sleep mask for me and at a great price.
