First time I bought an eye mask. Never envisioned I would try one. Glad it was this one. Well made, dark silk, lightly padded, easy to adjust. Can't even tell it's on, other than all is dark in front of my eyes. This mask has a removable bit that you can spray with Earth Therapeutics Dream Mist and reinsert for sublime aromatherapy sniffs while you sleep. I'm a convert, thanks to this wonderful mask!

My father had his own jar of flax seeds (try finding one in the chain drugstores today) and would apply these using a tie-bundled handkerchief to relax tired and stressed eyes. I ran across my first black (non-silk pillowed) eye mask in Oklahoma City where it helped to de-stress from those 5-mile high thunderstorms and tracking tornadoes overnight. I purchased this mask to replace the original. I'm not a fan of the silk pillow, and will be seeking a way of removing it from its cover case, but I noticed that the main pillow is also silk. I'm also not a fan of its lack of volume--the original mask I referenced was a bulky and "manly" pillow whereas this one seems it could fly off with a heavy sigh.

It is unscented, however, and the aroma of flaxseed is sufficient to calm the eyes.

This eye pillow has a lovely silk covering that's very soft and the pillow itself is a nice weight. However, after two months the little pillow case started to stretch out and the inner pillow keeps trying to escape (it succeeds too). That's because the fabric on the open end is just folded over like a sandwich bag. This would be much improved with a zipper at the end like some eye pillows. For a quick fix, I hand stitched the end shut but that means I no longer have a removable cover for washing. A small strip of velcro sewn at the end might be a better solution but that's more bother, and it could be tricky to try to sew velcro strips to this slippery silk. Velcro applied with glue wouldn't be a good choice for silk either.

One of the better eye pillows available. Better quality at a lower cost. As a yoga teacher, wish I had known about it sooner.

I was very happy to receive my purchase of the Celetial Dreams Sleep eye pillows. They were for gifts. They arrived in good conditions and packed very well.
