I purchased this eye shade and the Sweet Dreams Eye Shades. This is a great eye shade if you want to sleep outdoors. It keeps out more light. For over-all comfort I'd go with the Sweent Dreams eye shades which are also much cheaper ($6.95 to $24.95 for the Bucky's). I found they applied a little pressure to my eyes and did not stay in place as well as the Sweet Dreams Eye Shades.

I'm glad I purchased one, but I'll purchase more of the Sweet Dreams for indoor sleeping.

This is truly a superior product that I cannot live without. (I do not work for the company or know anyone emplyed by Bucky). These eye shades work beautifully for air travel, but are comfortable enough to wear every night. They really cut out the light and allow a deep comfortable sleep. These also launder very well. Unfortunately, I lost my mask when I last travelled so I'm reordering. Don't let the $24.95 price scare you - it's worth it. (Just make sure you sew/safety pin your contact info. to the strap when you travel - it's heartbreaking to lose these shades). Amazon offers only 1 color, but the shades are available in several colors and fabrics. This also makes a great gift - even for people who don't think they need a sleep mask.

I have had my Bucky Eye Shades for 3 weeks now and I am sleeping the best sleep ever! Normally, if I get even a tiny sliver of light during the night, I wake up and these Shades block out all the light and are very soft and comfortable.

They also have a small pocket for ear plugs (included) and I even found an extremely tiny flashlight that fits in the pocket with the ear plugs - fantastic! The flashlight is a

After suffering insomnia for 16 years, I discovered Bucky's Eye Shades and ear plugs. I never had another moment of trouble sleeping, and it's been years now. I have since tried other shades, but nothing beats my Buckys for comfort. Highly recommended.

You don't think you would ever need an eye mask, until you try one. And these Bucky ones are the best of the best. Although I don't have trouble sleeping, I tried one, and now I can't sleep without it! They would also be fabulous for taking a nap (when it's light outside), on the plane, in a hotel, or even as a guest at someone's house. The padding makes them so comfortable, and the velcro closing is a great idea. Otherwise the elastic can be too tight (very uncomfortable) or too loose (where it shifts when you are sleeping). I highly recommend these to everyone! You will wonder how you ever got a good night's sleep without it!

Maybe I'm just a bit sensitive across the sinus portion of my face, but I have found this eye-mask a little on the heavy side. Other than that, It does a decent job at keeping a lot of the light out. Its adjustable straps make for a comfortable fit around the head. The pressure on my face bothers me, though, and sometimes it feels as though the heat from my eyes is too much -- almost like it makes my eyes hot in that area. It's hard to describe. I usually end up taking it off, which is disappointing. When I used it in a recliner (sitting up more), I didn't notice the pressure nearly so much, but laying down, it's a drag.

So comfortable, even my 4 year old daughter borrows it! The ear plugs aren't that great, but it wasn't the reason I bought the mask in the first place, so no big deal. Overall I love it and would definitely recommend it.

I got my Bucky eye mask as a gift almost 10 years ago, and I still use it almost every night. It is indespensable! It's very comfortable, it blocks out ALL light, and it has a handy place to store your ear plugs. The adjustable velcro strap allows you to have a snug fit. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs total darkness for a good night's sleep!

Wasn't happy with these shades. They are very bulky. Feel like i'm sleeping with a pillow on my face. Also if you switch sides during the night they move too much causing light to seep through. Finally I did not care for the velcro straps behind the head. Felt very stiff and uncomfortable.

I'm a dorm student and I got this at a local shop because my roommate has lights on when I try to sleep and I have to say it is the best mask I have found. It keeps all light out. Most masks are either thin, and let light in through the fabric, or have small areas around the mask that jet out from your face and light gets in that way. This covers both areas and I don't see a thing. If you are looking for a mask that lets in no light, get this mask. Its the only reason I get any sleep at night.
