Alaska Bear Sleep Mask Silk Cover Eye Contour Built-in No Pressure for Sleeping, Upgrade Over Conventional Flat Satin Eye Masks, Machine Washable (Black)

The standard Black edition for £9.99 is one of my all time greatest purchases. Bought it for a long haul flight and it's been a regular carry in my backpack ever since.Sleep masks can vary hugely in quality and price. This one is the best value to money on the market. Is it absolutely perfect? No, but it's pretty damn close and a tenner for a near perfect product is a steal.Yes, it blocks out the light.Yes, it's comfortable on my eyes.Yes, it's adjustable and stays adjusted (and the buckle doesn't snag or dig into my head)Yes, it folds up small enough to fit in a pocket.Buy it, try it.

Soft, pretty, elastic of quality. no hidden annoyances.

I really like this mask. It's light and comfortable on my face. The silk feels amazing and keeps the perfect temperature without being too warm or cool. It does a great job of blocking light (see caveat coming up).When I was deciding on which to go for, I chose this over the 2 strap. I forget why. I should have gone with the 2 strap. This isn't necessarily a fault fo the product so I'm not blaming it. Just putting it here to help anyone reading these. While the strap on this is really soft and comfortable it's not ideal for me. Perhaps it's my anatomy but I can't wear it above my ears because it then pulls the mask up and feels a little uncomfortable on the tops of my ears. Over the ears is much better but still not a huge fan of pressing on my ears. It's not a huge deal and something I'll get used to. The 2 strap would have solved the problem.Now the caveat. And it's likely that this is also more about my anatomy than the mask. I don't have a huge nose but it's not small either. So the bottom of the mask does tend to lift slightly. Not at all an issue at night but potentially an issue for things like daytime naps. I don't really use a mask for napping so it's not a huge issue for me personally. But since I did notice it I thought it worth noting here.Overall this is a great sleep mask and any issues I have are more niggles than actual complaints or huge problems. I know that catering to every use case or anatomy in a product like this is impossible.

Recommendation by Peter Attia in his book Outlive. Very soft and gentle on the eyes, it offer complete blackness, affordable too. Very please with the purchase.

I’ve bought several sleep masks from Alaska Bear and this is the best. The mask is comfortable to wear especially as it doesn’t rest on my eyelids; despite this it doesn’t have a deep cup for the eyes which is good because it means the mask isn’t bulky. I also like the addition of extra material, like a flap, around the nose on the inner facing side of the mask which reduces light leakage to an absolute minimum. Overall this mask has made the difference between waking at the first light of dawn and waking when I want.

Very comfy but not total blackout. I can see the light through the nose

UPDATED:I have left my original review below, but just wanted to say how great these sellers have been. After writing that the black mask had leached colour they sent me a replacement without me asking and we havent had the same issue. Really lovely customer service, thank you.My husband loves the mask and says it is very comfy. He wears it every night. The only drawback is that the black dye has run and has stained all of our white pillow cases.

I've now bought two of these masks - one to keep at home and one to keep in my travel case. They are very well designed and exceptionally effective compared to other sleep masks I have used. The elastic can be easily adjusted to hold the mask firmly onto my face. The contoured areas around the eyes are both comfortable and brilliant at excluding almost all light. I recently did not get to bed until after dawn on a very sunny day and was not optomistic about my chances of a good sleep; butI had no problems with these. They have become an important part of my sleep routine.
