5.0 out of 5 stars For meditation, not sleeping., December 19, 2009

This review is from: Mind Fold Relaxation Mask (Health and Beauty)

This thing was designed to facilitate open-eyed darkness meditation. Only later was it marketed as a sleep mask. It is excellent for its intended purpose: inducing partial sensory deprivation. I believe visionary painter Alex Grey once endorsed this item for enhancing one's visual imagination. For sleeping, some find it comfortable, and some do not. Of course you must sleep on your back, or partially on your side, for the design to fit comfortably.

Its unique feature is simply that it allows you to keep your eyes open while seeing no light. This may seem like a trivial difference, but neurologically and psychologically, there's a big difference in the shadows and shapes you'll perceive when your eyes are open versus when they are closed. With your eyes open, your visual system seeks out concrete shapes in the noise and shadows that make up the blackness. With your eyes closed, you tend to ignore the eyelid movies.

2.0 out of 5 stars I can't sleep with this..., August 5, 2007

I assumed that for $15, plus shipping, that this would be a very nice mask. It turned out to be extremely uncomfortable though. The mask itself is black pastic (which is fine), but it has foam around the outside that is cut for a person with a very small head - it never felt quite right since the foam would be really close to my eyes. In order to keep it tight enough to keep it on correctly it would crush my nose so that I couldnt breathe. The strap is made out of velcro, which always rubbed/scratched my ears. I havent been able to fall asleep with this mask on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great eyemask, been using these for 9 years, October 4, 2007

I am about to purchase my 3rd mask in 8 years. They have evolved over time and the one now is better than the original one I had - now the plastic is less brittle than the old ones.

I am surprised that the other reviewers say that it is not designed to fit their faces, as I know several people who use them and we all have different shaped faces and we all love them.

Especially good for those early summer mornings, or if you want to take a good afternoon nap, or if you are trying to sleep on a plane.

I particularly like the way the foam is cut out for the eyes, so you can open your eyes without them being squashed like other masks do.
