DonkeyShorts Blackout Sleep Mask

This mask is simply wonderful. It's incredibly comfy while being sturdy. I'm thrilled I finally found a mask that isn't what amounts to "face lingerie". It's sturdy enough that I'm not worried about tearing it up if I roll over and thick enough to to block out all light while remaining soft and comfy to wear. I really love the padding that raises most of it up off of my eyelids and sinuses; I suffer severe migraines and most of the things I've tried that block out light as well as this mask are either too bulky or are impossible/impractical to wear and some weighed so much they caused a different pain. Also the design of this mask extends some padding over my ears to muffle sound a bit by itself for nights and when used with earplugs for migraines helps to shut out most noise; which is a serious blessing during a migraine especially if like me one has cats and one meow sounds like a lion roaring!

Overall, I like the quality of the product - good, sturdy stitching and very plush mask with a good quality, smooth, comfortable fabric.The only issue I have is the Velcro strap which creates an uncomfortable lump where the Velcro overlaps in the back. I thought was going to be much better than an elastic band like other masks use (and it does stay put better) but the lump is causing me enough discomfort to awaken in the night to remove the sleep mask. I love everything else about it so much I am going to modify the strap closure to eliminate the problem, but buyers should be aware of this issue.Maybe others with super plump pillows (or smaller heads) will not have a problem with the lump in the back - but it is a problem for me.

This new design is much better. It does block out all the light. The inside strap now has the hooks thus eliminating sticking one's head. It is big. I wear a 7 5/8 hat. I was able to adjust it to be small enough. Both strips are long enough to allow a lot of adjustment. The elasticity may require one or more nights to adjust as it stretches some. it is worn over the ears.

Mask is thick and comfortable, I was afraid it would be cumbersome, but it Is perfect! I wear a size 8 hat, so needless to say I have a big ol melon on top of my neck, but still this could expand to probably six more inches, I dare say there is not a human alive with a head to big for this sleep mask. My 9 year old son wears it comfortably as well. So extremely adjustable and comfortable.

Great customer service. I called them when I discovered that it needed a longer strap and they totally worked with me and are actually willing to rework that one little bit in the design. And, will make the Velcro long enough so that it will still work for everyone else's sized head, too. This is a good mask and worth the price. To work with the customer like this says a lot about a company. I don't give out five star reviews lightly. This one deserves five stars.

This mask does block out most any light very well. However, I have a fairly small head, (21") and this mask was VERY tight. I did find that after a month or so it did stretch out to a more comfortable fit, but be aware, it is small and does not have much room to expand.

Bought this as a gift for my mom, who is very sensitive to light (she really can't sleep in a room with a big window if the moon is even approaching full). She loves it! I'm so sad to see that it's no longer available on Amazon - please bring it back!!

This is a heavier weight mask that exacerbates the inflammation around a herniated cervical disk. Disappointing.
