Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask with Earplugs and Travel Pouch - Black

Customer Reviews

no no no no

doesnt keep out enough light and the worst part is that the strap that goes over and to the back of your head hurts. It wouldnt be a problem if i slept on my side the whole time but this product has terrible design flaws

Perfect for travel

This sleep mask was everything it said on the item description. The soft but molded shape easily conforms to the nose so that NO LIGHT peeps in. I slept like a baby on an overseas flight, despite lots of cabin light and movement. The case is a nice touch and keeps everything clean and easy to find. I highly recommend this sleep mask!

very comfortable but made for small noses

This is a very comfortable mask and it never falls off or slides down when I use it. And I am a side sleeper who tosses and turns a lot. I have used other more cheaply made masks that always come off at some point during my tossing and turning. The strap closes with velcro and it works perfectly allowing me to apply just the right amount of pressure on the headband to hold the mask securely but comfortably. The pouches for your eyes are just enough to prevent eye pressure as long as you don't wear the mask too high. Although even when positioned properly, my long eyelashes do make some very light contact which I do find a little bit annoying. The pouches are big but they should have made them even bigger for people with longer eyelashes. As for the material, it feels very nice against my skin. An excellent choice for the material.

Unfortunately (for me) this product was very clearly designed for people with small noses. My nose is kind of big, a bit larger than average for a caucasian male, and there is a large gap in the area where my nose meets my face. It lets in a lot of light. However, I do still use the mask since it does significantly reduce the amount of light that reaches my eyes and it is very comfortable. It just doesn't give me total darkness.

I also think I should mention for the benefit of other migraine sufferers that this mask very slightly helps with my migraines, which are centered around my eyes and temples. It reduces the pain slightly, but noticeably and of course reduces the light as well. Dream Essentials also makes a gel mask for this purpose however.

To sum up, this mask would be excellent, I might even use the word "perfect" if you are a small nosed female caucasian or if you are of Asian or maybe African descent and have a typical nose. I am a large nosed male of Eastern European descent and I find this mask extremely comfortable. So I can only imagine that it would be even more comfy for those of you that have noses that this mask was designed for. I can't help wondering if the designer was Asian or, even more likely an Asian female. But this mask should fit comfortably and securely and block out ALL light for anyone with a low nose bridge. A truly wonderful productfor those people.

If you have a bigger nose forget this mask. It WON'T block out the light which is its primary function. If only they would release a version for those of us with bigger noses.

I am probably going to purchase the Escape sleep mask from the same company Escape Luxury Sleep Mask with Earplugs and Travel Pouch - Black(Dream Essentials). It is MUCH more expensive, but it seems to avoid the nose size issue due it its design. I am hopeful, because Dream Essentials clearly knows how to make excellent sleep masks. It was tough to actually give a rating for this product. For someone with a larger nose I would give it maybe 1 or 2 stars since it doesn't work for its primary function of blocking out the light. But for anyone with a smaller nose I would give it 5 stars since it truly seems like one of those rare perfectly designed products and at a great price.

amazing. rotfl!

These are great. I got them for my wife, because I told her sleeping with fresh orange slices on her eyes would help with her kidney stones (It's little practical joke I've been playing on her. You and I both know orange peels on the eyelids is a preopsterous idea, but I've got her doing it every night for the past 7 years and it's hilarious. Shhhh! don't spoil the joke)

Aaaaanyway...this little number holds the citrus slices on her eyes perfectly, all night long, no slipping or sliding or juice on my pillow. Highly recommended. A+++++!

Pretty good

A little light leaks in around the nose area (this will vary by nose size and cheekbone prominence closer to nose), but the contoured shape around the eyes eliminate the annoying feeling of eyelashes brushing against your mask. Comfortable and adjustable straps limit pressure on the back of head. Earplugs are useful, but I would recommend something over the ear, as the in-ear style can get uncomfortable.
