The only sleep mask you'll ever need, August 27, 2006
This review is from: Lights Out Contoured Sleeping Mask Blue Black Out Sleep Eye Mask (Health and Beauty)
I first spotted the Lights Out Sleep Mask on a visit to The Marketplace at Disney World Florida. That was enough of an endorsement for me to purchase it. It is the most comfortable and effective sleep mask I have ever used. The elastic band is wide, and velcro makes it easy to size for your head. It blocks 95% of bright room light, and the inside spongy material is feather-light on the face of the skin.

Good but a similar item is better., May 8, 2008
This review is from: Lights Out Contoured Sleeping Mask Blue Black Out Sleep Eye Mask (Health and Beauty)
I ordered this because I've become very light sensitive over the years and our bedroom has several large windows in it. The mask is very comfortable to wear -- no "eye mashing" that most eye shades give you. It is designed to provide open air pockets around your eyes so that you could open them wide and still be in the dark.
It provides very good darkness control with one exception. The tip of my nose juts out a bit and this creates separation between the mask and my face around my nostrils, letting light in. Since the windows in the bedroom are near towards the foot of the bed, light goes right up through the mask and into my eyes.
I still find the mask comfortable and fairly effective (I still gave it 4 stars) but if you're expecting full blackness and you have a good sized schnoz, you may be out of luck.
By the way, I ordered one of these and one of Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask with Earplugs and Travel Pouch - Black -- the latter item is better.

Overthought, April 15, 2008
This review is from: Lights Out Contoured Sleeping Mask Blue Black Out Sleep Eye Mask (Health and Beauty)
Sounds good, in theory, but it is too cumbersome and puffy. Which means that when I sleep with the side of my face on the pillow, the mask can buckle, letting light in.
Turns out that unless you have bug-eyes, other regular eye-masks (like the Eagle Creek Eye Shades) don't touch your eye-lids or hinder REM sleep.
It seems like this product is attempting to provide a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist, and as a result, becomes an inferior product.
Pros: the velcro strap is convenient.
