Alaska Bear Natural Silk Sleep Mask, Blindfold, Super Smooth Eye Mask (Blossom Almond)

They were a gift for my sister and she loved them. She already had an Alaska Bear pair but they were several years old and she was looking to get another pair. Great gift as she was very happy to get them and loved the cute look. They appear to be good quality and she said she likes the way they feel and fit. They are soft and not too thick yet they work well to keep the light out. I think it was a good value as she was happy to get them.

Oh this sleep mask is incredible - the expanded coverage is fantastic, no light peeking through above the top or below the bottom. Soft, slightly convex molded cups inside give a little bit of space for your eyes, but are perfect for a side/stomach sleeper like me (unlike other brands that have grossly 3D molded cups). The wide headband means no sliding off in the night, and it's fully adjustable too!! Silky soft material on top of everything else. This is an extraordinarily well thought-out sleep mask, and it's a pleasure to put it on at night.

I was searching for a sleeping mask with an adjustable strap as my last one didn't have one and I was fed up. It was so uncomfortable to sleep with. This one is perfect! I love the adjustable strap, and the material is so soft and comfortable. It blocks out light, it is good quality and affordable. I'm very happy with it!

I have been using this mask for about 6 months and am happy with my purchase. The backing sleep side is very soft and hasn't ever caused any discomfort and is very comfortable to wear. It does block 100% of the light without any pass through. Though if you are planning for bright Daytime use you should consider getting one with a nose fit as most and even this one with its large size always leak a little light around the nose. The strap is completely adjustable to any size and stays in place fairly well, I've only had to adjust it ever 2-3 nights. My only downside is the elastic strap has no cover, for those who have a rounded back on their skull will likely experience the strap slipping down onto the top of their ears which while not painful is uncomfortable. That is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars in my opinion.

I have tried many sleep masks. This is the first one that has a comfortable strap that isn't too loose or too tight. I love that it has no buckle or Velcro. The strap is thin but sturdy and somewhat stretchy. I have a smallish head circumference, and this fits comfortably and doesn't slip off. It blocks 100% of the light while not being bulky. The material is smooth but not slippery or clammy. I tend to move around and sleep in various positions, and this does not move around, irritate my ears, or make marks on my face. I now sleep through lights coming in the windows or lights being turned on by a nocturnal family member. The only thing that would improve this would be soft, natural material (bamboo or cotton). Another one that I recently tried (Alaska Bear Cotton Eye Mask) had that ultra soft, breathable material, but the strap was way too loose on the smallest setting.

Love this product fits very comfortably around my head no pressure on my eyes helps me have a better deep sleep

This mask deserves five stars because it meets all of the necessary criteria: aesthetics, comfort, function, durability, and quality. The silk is wonderfully smooth, and cooling; I've had no issues with trapped heat, sweating, irritation, etc. and I have *very* sensitive skin! Both sides of the mask are silk, allowing it to slip easily over my pillow or blankets without twisting out of place, and creating a gentle barrier against my eyes (some sleep-masks I've used...like flannel or fleece-lined ones...feel too textured, irritating my eyes as I sleep and causing me to wake up with tired, itchy eyes). The strap is broadly adjustable (the closest thing I can compare it to is a bra-strap), which is a significant detail for people who get pressure or tension migraines (myself included), and is also stretchy. My room faces the east, making sunrise unavoidable...in spite of black-out curtains...but this mask works just as it should, so that's not an issue anymore. I even tried it with the curtains tied back, and only a *sliver* of light got through around the nose area of the mask (this isn't a moulded mask, so that's to be expected), however, there *is* a band of material there that blocks most of the light, and the entire mask is completely opaque. As for the print, the colours are beautiful and vivid! I've actually considered getting the Starry Night mask for my Mum, and I'll certainly be recommending it to any friends or family who mention light disturbance in the future. This mask is definitely perfect for beauty sleep, or hibernation. ;)

Comfortable

Despite having blackout blinds during the summer the bedroom is still too light. This sleep mask really helps in that it completely blocks out the light and helps me to get a sounder nights sleep. I still wake up during the night sometimes but far less frequently than before. I worried that it might make me hot having it on but it doesn't and is extremely comfortable to wear. Would recommend.

I bought this of r my husband as he was moaning that I had a cute mask and he didn't. Well this couldn't be more perfect for him. He is a big gamer and was moaning that mine was not big enough for his head and this is adjustable! Honestly this mask could not be any better! He is very impressed with how soft and comfy it is too. I have a very happy husband on my hands, thank you.

These are great! I was suffering with my eyes coming open whilst I was asleep which resulted in very sore eyes. These are lovely and soft and you can adjust the strap so they are just help loosely over your eyes. As they are silk they are beautifully soft. They also keep out the light if I wake up early and the bedroom is too light. I've bought two more pairs!

Such a comfy sleep mask!

Update to previous review: Alaska Bear got in touch following my original purchase review (below). They kindly sent out an updated version of the mask which is much improved! Specifically it he nee version has 2 straps at the back which means it is much less likely to move in the night. Also has better nose area coverage, so much much better overall performance in keeping the light out. Original review: 3 things I need from a sleep mask- comfortable to wear, doesn't indent my face come the morning and doesn't move to let light in. This mask meets the first 2 criteria well, but the last one is where it falls down. I find it moves far too much (strap is too flimsy) and thereby lets light in which is fairly crucial for a sleep mask. The search continues...
