Terrific!, December 6, 2005
This review is from: Lights Out Sleep Mask (Misc.)
I've been using these now for a couple of weeks nightly and I have to say they're extremely comfortable. Other reviewers have commented that they let light in around the nose, and they're right ... but it's not a lot of light, even with all the lights in the bedroom on, just a small sliver down by your nose. You can close your eyes and it'll look/feel completely pitch black and given that I don't spend a lot of time with my eyes open under the mask, the mask doesn't lose any functionality because of this bit of light. You might want to get the black color instead of the blue if you're really concerned, as it may absorb more light. The velcro strap is adjustable for bigger heads like my own. I honestly didn't think the cupped design for REM sleep would be a big deal, but it really does make a difference, if just for comfort. I highly recommend this mask.

The best, even with the reservations others have noted, November 11, 2006
This review is from: Lights Out Sleep Mask (Misc.)
Yes, a little light leaks in with this mask, but closing your eyes, it's plenty dark. Yes, the strap can chafe your ears, so I wear it *over* the ears and the problem goes away. Yes, it has 3 laminated layers, and the inner fabric layer does separate from the molded plastic after several months of daily use -- so does the fabric on more expensive eyeshades (like Buckys, among others). This one's worth it; buy 2 or 3. the velcro makes them adjustable, but it may catch on satin pillowcases, not on cotton. Overall, I've never found a better design. They're light, comfortable, and they do the job they're designed to do. What more do you want? :-)

Good Sleep Mask, But Doesn't Block 100% Of Light, July 16, 2005
This review is from: Lights Out Sleep Mask (Misc.)
This is a well made sleep mask. It features a wide elastic band that will not roll, and that is adjustable with a velcro closure. The eye cover part of the mask is a made of a molded foam material with space for the eyes to move during REM sleep. The mask is lightweight and breathes well. It took a couple nights to get used to the feel. It was a little uncomfortable in the nose initially, but I got used to the feeling of it and now find it very comfortable. I like the mask very much except for one thing: it lets light in too much light around the nose area. I've found one company on the net that claims 100% light blockage with most of their sleep masks, so I am planning on trying one of those. I only paid $12 for this mask including shipping, but in the end I want a mask that blocks out all light.
