Review (5/5): This works well--why waste more money?
I have used this mask for 2 years and I am just now replacing it with a new one due to the elastic finally stretching out and needing a more snug fit. For less than six dollars per mask you really can't go wrong giving this mask a try. I have been tempted by some of the more expensive fancy eye masks, but this works--why waste money?
The elastic band that holds the mask on is easy to adjust and fastens with a piece of Velcro. The only problem with the elastic band is that over time it becomes stretched out, but thankfully the Velcro will stick anywhere on the elastic so it can be pulled tighter and tighter. I have never had any problems with the Velcro coming undone in the night.
This sleep mask has just the right amount of thickness to it and is easy to use and adjust. The mask itself covers my eyes completely and is thick enough that I could sleep with a light on and not know it. I do have to put it on my face just right and sintch up the elastic so it's fairly snug but it does a good job of blocking the light. It doesn't feel heavy on my face and I don't feel smothered. It did take a few nights sleep for me to get used to something resting on my face but now it is a trigger for me that it's time to fall asleep.
