ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask Memory Foam Contoured Eye Cups for Women and Men, Soft 3D Blackout Eye Mask for Sleeping No Pressure on Eyelids and Eyelashes Protection, Earplugs Set, Black

I first looked into this sleep mask because it looked unique in that there was more fabric coverage down around the nose (like a true blindfold), and I thought that would be great for blocking out a lot of light. But just a disclaimer, the mask shown in the pictures (as of today, 3/9/23) is the ORIGINAL model. The newer model (which is what I received) is more contoured around the nose, without that additional fabric flap. After reading through some other recent reviews, I saw that if I were to reach out to the company directly, there was a good chance that they might send me one of the original models if they still had it in stock. Spoiler alert, they DID send me the original model! So 5 stars for customer service for Alaska Bear, hooray for a company that actually cares! (I cannot say the same for another sleep mask company, Bucky, as the mask I recently bought from them literally started falling apart a few months after I began using it, and I tried reaching out to them multiple times with no response). So, my overall review after comparing both models... in an unforseen plot twist, the newer contoured model actually blocks MORE light than the original. With the original model, the extra fabric flap seems to hold the mask further from your face, which allows more light in. Maybe if there was more fabric it would just pool around your nose a bit more, but it's taut enough that your nose holds the mask away from your face just enough to let additional light in at the bottom. So for anyone who may be disappointed that the mask they received looks different than the one pictured, don't be! The newer model is actually an improvement, in my opinion. My overall review of this mask (the newer model) is that it really seems like a high quality product. The fabric is super soft and overall it is very comfortable. There is no Velcro to tangle in your hair, and the adjustment clasps are slim enough that I literally can't even feel them when I'm lying on my side OR my back. Also, the seams are SEWN, rather than glued or heat sealed, so it likely won't start falling apart the way several of the other cheaper masks seem to do these days (just click on review photos for other masks you are considering, that should tell you if it's an issue or not). And I think it fits more comfortably and blocks more light then any other mask I've tried in the past. So I'm likely a convert for life now, I genuinely love it this mask!!!

A first sight, I thought I had spent too much money on this sleep mask. It was much smaller than I expected. But having used it for several nights/days - I now think it is well worth what I paid for it. The mask is very soft, and very comfortable to wear. I've only had one issue with it. The head strap is adjustable, and the buckle for adjusting is made of hard plastic and one night I woke up with that buckle pressing into the back of my head. I attribute that to having thin hair. That happened only once. The mask works well for blocking out the light. Just recently I slept in one weekend and I usually wake up as soon as the sun starts shining - but having wore this mask, I slept well past sunrise. I don't know if this mask is better than any of the others, but I'm more than happy with this one.

I've had this now for a little over a month and I absolutely love it, and how did I ever live without it in my life?? My work swaps back between days and nights, so getting good sleep can be difficult, and my room gets direct light in the mornings. I used to use "traditional" sleep masks, and I have quite a few, but the light always peeks through, some felt like they put a lot of pressure directly on my eyeballs, and some would slip off. But the Alaska Bear sleep mask does none of that! It fits comfortably around my eyes (I can actually open and blink with it on), the strap is adjustable so it fits snug and comfortably around my head, and while I'm mainly a side sleeper sometimes I flip to my stomach, but no matter how much moving I do while I sleep, this mask stays in place and doesn't feel bulky on the side of my face. I was afraid it would feel heavy because it's a bit thick, but it's not! Very lightweight, soft, and comfy! I use this every time I sleep, even when I am getting to sleep at night like a normal person lol. And just to tell you how well it blocks out the light, when I got it, I put it on and looked directly up towards the light over my bathroom sink, and this mask blocked out 99.9999% of the light. I absolutely love it, and will be ordering a couple more so I can make sure I always have one to use if one is being washed, and probably even a dedicated one to use for travel. I looked at others out there that are similar and pretty pricey, so I was glad when I came across the Alaska Bear with it's great price point. Thanks for making such an awesome and affordable product!

Nice silk sleep mask. Lightweight, smooth, and soft. Totally covered light. The adjustable strap makes sizing easily. Had a nice sleep on flight.

La lumière ne passe pas ! Il suffit de bien placer le haut du nez, pile sur le creux du haut de notre nez, sans avoir peur que le masque couvre un peu le front (je le précise car on peut avoir tendance à vouloir le baisser plûtôt que de penser à le monter). Super matière. On ne le sent pas; ultra confortable! J'ai les cils très longs et pourtant ça ne les écrasent pas. En plus il est magnifique et il vient avec un petit sac transparent. Juste parfait❣️

Die beste Maske die ich jemals hatte! Sehr weich, angenehm, drückt nicht, blockiert der Licht. Und was mir sehr wichtig ist- ist nicht zu warm im Sommer zu nutzen! Wunderbar.

Mucho mejor que los antifaces con banda elástica.

Little bit chunky and let's light in when I lay on my side. Was prepared to pay for a premium product but this isn't much better than my cheaper mask it was replacing. Just ok.
