ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask 2 Straps, Mulberry Silk, Twin Thin Elastic Bands Stay Put All Night, Smooth Eye Mask Two Adjustable Head Strings and Nose Baffle

This is the best sleep mask. This does everything I want it to. Actually stays on with the two straps. Actually blocks all the light. Super soft. Washable. Note: the red one also has the little nose flap that the black one has. It is pictured without one, but it has the nose flap.

I purchased these because a travel writer recommended them; and they are nice; fit well; cover the eyes and underneath well; a little bit of a cover over the nose to keep the light away completely. What I liked mostly was this particular eye mask had not one; but two straps to secure around your head AND they are adjustable. This is sometimes hard to find in an eyemask - so it can boil down to the little things that make a difference. I do like that it comes with it's own nice; light mesh bag as well instead of just finding a place to stuff them - a little bit of organization can make you feel good when it comes to traveling. They do fit comfortably and do not press against the eyes; this in part due to the adjustable straps. The color is true black and this is helpful as well. There is no scratchy velcro to keep you awake - nor any other design; materials that will impede a good rest. I used them ALL the time while traveling and even in hotels that had too much light filtering into our rooms. So; I'd recommend this product.

The Mulberry Silk mask is great. The silk is soft. I like the two strap design, as it makes very little pressure on the eyeballs, due to the non convex form of the mask itself. Stays in place pretty well, too. The nose flap helps with letting less light in, even though still not perfect with my medium sized nose. Still way better than ever other mask I tried.

This is made of nice, super soft and real silk. The two strap design doesn't hurt or press too much against eyelashes - less so than regular eye masks, and definitely less than the cheap 3d contoured one I tried (admittedly from a different brand that lied about theirs being silk...). I haven't found anything perfect in terms of avoiding hitting my eyelashes, thus the deduction of 1 star, but I do have long lashes. (Maybe I should have tried Alaska Bear's Contoured mask, but it's too late now, and I'm poor...) Light blockage is good with this, although I feel like that's partly because it's massive. At least it doesn't slide around much. I know I won't like that it covers over half of my face in the hot summer temps, and the nose baffle is also far too large and cumbersome, but I guess it's worth it for the reduced eye pressure in this model. I really wish Alaska bear made this in two sizes so that those of us who are comparatively more petite can wear them comfortable. This one covers so much of my face to the point that it drops down below the tip of my nose if I'm not careful! I'm also still trying to figure out how to deal with my hair - put it between the two straps? All above the straps?? It gets tangled if I pull it all below the straps. But again, this is probably an issue with any two-strap mask, so it's the best I've found of the few I've tried so far. Overall I'm pretty happy.

Good product and succeeded in working as I hoped. Unlike most the primary need and use is more protect my eyes as I have received corneal transplants in addition to plastic retinas which leaves me somewhat with Tonic Pupils. Mainly very slow to react to light changes. Due to the corneal transplants I also put sodium chloride gel in the eyes at bedtime. So my use is three-fold. 1) Protect my eyes from rubbing on the pillow, blanket, and at times rubbing an itch which happens a lot and painful as it will rupture tiny water blisters which sting unbelievably for hours. If you need gory details…Search Fuch’s Dystrophy. This is the primary need which it worked great. It is also why I reviewed this. It fills a niche need many people may have. 2) Keeps the goop in the eyes as well and not on pillows etc. 3) It also works very well as intended. Others seem to enter my bedroom as I am on my back facing the ceiling and light, first opening the door which wakes me up, secondly flipping on the light. Leaving me feeling like lasers burning the back of my eyes. It doesn’t happen often. Generally more often than I want. It doesn’t take much light actually. I wanted to give this 5 stars and would have except for me, it seemed to let in a small bit of light around the nose only noticeable until I turned off the light. I have a few little lights that shine at night. Mainly my TV has a background light displaying Vizeo in case I forget the brand during the night, a charger, and clock display. For me it is really a non issue. I keep the room like a tomb and what light my eyes do adjust anyway. But next time I might try the added nose piece if it matters. Outside of that It block all light, stayed on, wasn’t too tight after I adjusted it. One strap above the ears and the lower strap below. It was snug, but not so loose it would move around. I plan to recommend it to the eye surgeon and a few message boards. Everyone complains, but so far I haven’t seen or heard anyone try it. It is maybe a very small intimate group of people to pander to, but it is also a group that often has suffered through several years of increasing eye pain often not realizing what is causing it. EDIT.. Second night ...no light at all comes through. This is my first and only mask I have tried and really does what I need. It is well made, fits nice without being too tight or hot. I give it the extra star it deserves. It is probably more a matter of adjustment. Those that say it is too tight or too loose probably need to adjust to where it is simply snug. If it was too tight against my eyes, I would know! After two nights I wonder what I did without it! I have little cones that I could place between the mask and eye to prevent it perhaps, but I haven't needed them. My son was able to come in at 3 am, turn on the light to locate what he needed without pain in total darkness make life a little easier for him as well as myself. It does little to deaden the noise, but I am retired and I can live with that. In addition to above I also wonder how well it would work at this time of year for those that have issues with pollen and perhaps pet dander etc. I don’t have this problem, but maybe someone can comment if they used it for that purpose or as an additional advantage.

Let me just start off by saying that I paid full price for this. No I didn't get a discount for my review. All I keep asking myself is why in the world did I not try this before??? My initial intent for this was for travel. However, I decided to give it a try one night and I was hooked! I'm a light sleeper. I toss and turn at night. Even the most faint lights bother me and so does noise. Wearing both the eye mask and the ear pugs allow me to have a more restful sleep. I noticed I hardly move too! The mask feels very soft to the touch. The two thin adjustable elastic bands keep it in place all night. I think it's great for people that sleep at night. While light doesn't go through (it's big enough to cover my nose and part of my forehead), it's not a complete "black out" type of mask, so if you're on a graveyard shift and plan to use it to sleep during the day, this might not be it for you. However, for me, it was exactly what I was looking for. I find masks that offer "black out" are too think and bulky. Plus, I would have trouble waking up as my brain still thinks it's night time. And it's awful when you've been in complete darkness, and suddenly you get hit with bright light. I have naturally curly somewhat long lashes and I find no problems with this mask. It doesn't irritate my skin and feels very soft against my face. I don't want to mess up my circadian cycle. This beats taking pills too! Both mask and ear plugs come in a sash/meshy bag. I don't recommend just throwing it in the washer either. I feel the mask is too delicate for that. It would take two minutes to hand wash and hang to dry.

I've owned the original black version of this mask (without the nose flap) for over a decade. It's frayed at this point but still fully usable, and it remains my favorite sleep mask — a solid 5/5. This review is specifically for the current version, which now comes with a nose flap/baffle. I ordered the red color because the product photos made it look like it didn't have the nose flap, but the one that arrived did have it. It looks like there's no longer a listing for the flap-free version at all. The good news: the material and straps seem identical to my original mask. It's a genuinely light silk on both the exterior and interior, so it doesn't trap heat the way a synthetic mask would, and there's enough silk batting inside to fully block light coming through the mask itself. The problem is light leakage around the edges, especially near the nose. This was already a minor issue with the original design, but tightening the mask took care of it. With the nose flap version, light gets in around the nose no matter how I adjust it. If you have a higher nose bridge, the flap just doesn't conform properly — it lets in more light than the original ever did, while also pressing uncomfortably on the nose. It would probably need significantly more material to actually work for a range of nose shapes, and I'm not convinced that would solve it even then. For clarity, the nose baffle is meant to be folded under the mask, over the nose bridge — not pulled over the tip of the nose or down near the nostrils, which is how it's pictured in some other reviews. I looked into removing the nose flap myself, but the way it's sewn in means there's no clean way to take it out without leaving the mask looking terrible. So it's not something you can easily fix on your own. Overall, the nose flap is a downgrade, not an upgrade. I'd really like to see them bring back the original flap-free design, or at least offer it alongside this one. Next time I need a sleep mask, I'll likely try a different brand.

I read a lot of reviews of different sleep masks before taking a chance on this one. I am a light sleeper and also have insomnia. I really wanted something that would block light because any little help I can get... When I took it out of the package, it felt so soft, smooth and lightweight. Wonderful feel in the hands but I wasn't sure if it would be thick enough to block the light. My bedroom windows face east and although I have mini blinds, a pull-down shade and curtains, light still gets through when the sun is coming up. If I happen to open my eyes a little during the sleep cycle and catch a bit of light, I find it very hard to go back to sleep no matter how tired I am. Then I'm cranky the rest of the day. That hasn't happened since using this sleep mask as it blocks out light completely. It covers from the top of my forehead to my lower cheeks and no light seeps under or through the mask. Last week, I was able to take a good nap on the couch during the day with the mask on. I've now been using it for over a month and I won't sleep without it. It hasn't cured my insomnia but it's definitely helped me stay asleep longer. Also deeper it seems I am a side sleeper and tried a cushioned mask before but because the pillow would press in on the side of the mask, it would make the mask shift on my face. Since this one is only lightly padded and more flat, it stays put and doesn't come off at all, even when I've been tossing & turning. The two straps make it very easy to adjust the fit. I was initially concerned about the mask pressing against my eyelids. It does but only lightly, depending on how you adjust it, I guess. I can still open my eyes if I want to but the light pressure actually just feels like my eyelids are heavy and weirdly enough, it helps me stay asleep. I recently went on an overnight trip and slept in our camper, which is too usually bright in the morning, but I took the mask with me and it made a huge difference. I am probably going to get a second one just to leave in the camper because I would hate to forget it. Maybe a third for my travel bag. When I say I don't want to sleep without it, I really mean it. The quality of the mask is excellent. No fraying, tearing, or coming apart at the seams. Like I said, I've only been using it for over a month, maybe a month and a half but I can't see this thing falling apart very easily. Wearing it every night has had no ill effects on my skin, which tends to be oily. I think the silk lets the skin breathe and though I haven't worn it during the summer months yet, it doesn't seem like it'll make my face hot. The straps are comfortable and the buckles to adjust the fit are tiny and lay flat, like the ones on a bra strap. I have long hair and haven't had it get tangled in the straps or buckle. This mask is so comfortable to wear, I highly recommend it.

Se ciñe mejor que los de 1 correa y resulta cómodo, no entra nada de luz.

Spännena borde vara bredare och rejälare – nu glider de upp eller ner och måste justeras flera gånger under natten. Ändå vaknar jag med en mask som flyttat sig så att ljus släpps in genom gliporna som uppstått. Annars ok, men måste finnas bättre sovmasker där ute.

I got the 2 strap with nose baffle. Fulfilled by Amazon, sold by Alaska Bear. It is so very soft & extremely comfortable now that I’ve cut the bottom strap off! I tried their 1 strap version but I found the placement of the strap pulled the mask too tightly across my eyes. The placement of the top strap on this is perfect for me. The strap is thin & really comfortable, I don’t know it’s there. ( I part & lift up hair as if I’m going to do a small half pony, then I put the strap under there & it stays put. Also has the benefit of not giving you ‘mask strap hair’ in the morning ;-) The clasps are plenty strong enough, I’ve no idea what on earth happened to the poor persons mask where it is pictured broken in a review, I can only assume it was either faulty, or said person went a few rounds with Mike Tyson in their sleep! Either way, on my mask they are small but strong ... let’s just say if they managed to sustain enough trauma to break whilst I was wearing it I would be more worried about the state of my head than my mask!! So far my head, and mask is fine, they don’t dig in- can’t feel them at all. I was worried it would be too warm as I get migraines and generally need cool for those. But mostly this is fine. If I need it cooler with a headache I just put a koolpak on my forehead over top for a while, or lay one on the pillow if on my side. That trick works well in the summer too. If you can see light underneath it just scrunch the nose baffle up & under a bit more to fill in the gaps. ... someone commented that the flap covered their nose and interfered with breathing.... I am, in a word, baffled, (pun intended) It goes up and under, not down, it is to cut out light, not oxygen, dear! Cutting the bottom strap off does mean you need to readjust from time to time as you stir & turn, but I’ve never met a mask that didn’t need this. I’m a side and back sleeper so Every mask shifts, because I shift! But this one is soooooooooooooo comfy! And such a good price point too! I now have backups so I can wash them & still wear while It’s drying!

Chegou em perfeito estado e o produto muito bom, ele é bem leve, macio e fresco. É feita de uma das sedas mais premium existentes (mulberry silk).

Ce masque est très bien. Un touché agréable. Je revie. J ai retrouvé le sommeil d un bébé. Je vous le conseil.
