PURPLE Eye Mask DRIFT TO SLEEP mask Ideal for Travel Yoga Meditation Shift Work

The inside of this mask is highly sculpted out of fairly rigid foam. The eye cups are deep, which is nice if you've got long eyelashes like I do. The problem is that the cups are also fairly narrow, and the rims of the cups are fairly hard. If it's placed perfectly on your face it's not a problem, but if it slips just a little out of position--which it will if you sleep on your side or on your stomach--the rims of those narrow cups wind up pressing on your eyes. Not comfortable, and not healthy.On the good side, it is a decent-sized mask with plenty of adjustment. I'm a big guy, and the mask was big enough and the strap had enough adjustment. If you sleep on your back, this might be your mask. But avoid it if you sleep on your side or your stomach.

There are many valid reasons to want an eye-mask. And this mask is comfortable, made of sturdy material, and pretty good. But I looked in Amazon for a mask to protect my eyes while using a CPAP, and this is the only mask in Amazon that advertised to be "great for CPAP users". And this I find to be incorrect. This is not a feature that should be advertised for this mask.CPAP users are people who have some disorder in their respiratory system that requires raising the air pressure in which they breathe while they sleep. It can be caused by obesity, but that is not the case in the majority of patients. In the absence of the CPAP machine, they suffer near-asphixia as soon as they reach REM sleep, for several times per night (in my case, it was over 15 times an hour), which causes a number of physical and psychological disorder. The machine provides a painless, effective and very needed relief to deep sleep deprivation.The one uncomfortable side-effect of the CPAP machine is that if there is often an air leak (and there is one often if you shift, or if your skin is oily, or if you do not place the apparatus perfectly right). The air leak on your eyes can be uncomfortable and damaging.I bought this mask for that purpose, and following the testimonial in the webpage. I figured that if the webpage was the only one claiming it was good for CPAP, it probably had some shape and padding features that would specifically help in this dimension. It turns out that this is not correct. To begin with, the elastic in the mask is not strong enough to provide sufficient tightness, so there is always a little whole through which the air leaks into the mask (and keeps moving around there!). Furthermore, the shape of the mask does not seal completely in the vicinity of your nose. Finally, the eye-mask has this little liner that is supposed to go over your nose...and that acts as an obstacle to almost every brand of CPAP mask (I have several).So, if you are buying this to block the light, go ahead. The thing is pretty, comfortable and durable. But if you are buying it for the reason I did, don't. Spend $3 at the pharmacy on getting two separate protective eye patches (like a pirate's), and use them simultaneously. It works MUCH better.

Update: 7/26/2016 one of the side straps broke off.This is Velcro, so I woke up in the middle of the night and had to rip my hair out of the Velcro. The nose does not entirely fit my nose snug (I have a wider nose, Native American) so there's a small gap of light that comes in. For me, I can't deal with the Velcro knotting my hair up, even though it was in a braid. I will use it one more night and see if it keeps happening. I do like the size & how I can open my eyes. It's comfy, too! Excellent customer service as well!

This is the best sleep mask I have owned to date. The fit around the nose is by far the best of the previous 2 masks I have tried. I notice almost no light leakage from the bridge of my nose where most masks are susceptible to letting light in. The contour of the mask is very comfortable and allows you to open your eyes or blink without the mask touching your eyelashes. The strap is comfortable and is the first one that is not too long leaving a long piece of excess material that is not secured by velcro.

My only complaint with this product is the velcro connector. It invariably gets caught in my hair with each use and I always end up pulling some of my hair out. Because it has a velcro connector instead of an adjustable strap, I can never get it tight enough to get the mask to lay flush on my face to block out all light. I would give this product a 5 if not for the velcro connector. I'm not sure if people with straight hair have the same problem, but it is not ideal for tight curls. I really like the eye mask itself, but I would not buy this product again. I would try to find a comparable eye mask design with an adjustable strap.

I've had this eye mask a few weeks. It's not my favorite that i've used. It's a little stiff at first (needed to be broken in) so didn't conform to my face perfectly for a few days. After that, it fit much better. However, now that I've used it a while, it's starting to come apart. It has a liner that is peeling off. I'm going to try a different brand next.

I love sleep masks with a contoured shape, as you don't get the irritation of your eyelids fluttering against the mask. But I often found them uncomfortable on a plane if I rested my head against the side of the plane. I realized it was because the masks were made of a very hard, molded material. This brand is much better. It's molded and stable, but soft with some a little give. This product is very comfortable, soft and doesn't get too hot. It can be adjusted to fit multiple sizes. It blocks out almost all light, even on the sides.

This eye mask is very nice. My only complaints are that the velcro straps are a little stiff and when you wake up, the tops of your ears are a little sore. Also, they smelled a bit chemically like they still had fabric dyes on them. So, I sent mine through the washing machine prior to wearing them and that softened the material as well as made it smell better. They do a good job of blocking out light and are very comfortable, I would buy them again.
