Alaska Bear Sleep Mask Silk Cover Eye Contour for Pressure-Free Sleeping, Upgrade Over Conventional Flat Satin Eye Masks, Machine Washable

For our family’s Alaska trip this summer, in the Land of the Midnight Sun, we knew we would need some kind of light-blocker in order to get a decent sleep. It was really hard to tell from the photos, descriptions, and reviews, which products were actually superior, so we purchased 7 different sleep masks. After trying all of them for two weeks, we can give other buyers our comparative reviews. Listed below in rank order from our best to worst, here are the 7 masks we tried:ZGGCD• This was the first one that I tried, and it worked so great. After this one, the other masks were okay, but they were just not quite as good as this one. (except for MZOO which was very, very similar). This ZGGCD mask was priced fairly at $9.99.MZOO• Another great model. Nearly identical to the ZGGCD brand, but it has a large MZOO brand printed on the front. And it cost twice as much. (I paid $19.99)LKY• These masks came as a 3-pack for $9.99. They were an economical option that worked surprisingly well, and were not uncomfortable. These were unexpectedly much smaller than the other masks, but they really did work fine. The band seemed tight, but it was adjustable – I guess I just never adjusted it. These masks kept the light out, and the eye wells were deep enough. Two of my college kids liked them well enough that they borrowed these for another trip they are taking next month.Alaska Bear• I figured this mask was just made for the Midnight Sun! Quite a bit smaller than the extra plush masks. Not very thick either, but again to my surprise, the small masks worked just as well as the luxury models. The price for this one was on the upper end ($14.99).Zenssia• The satin looked and felt luxurious, and at the $19.99 price, it tied with MZOO for being the most expensive mask we tried. The velcro band stays secure, and did not get caught in my hair. The cloth over the ears actually felt nice. But, I can’t say this mask was nice to sleep in. If you didn’t keep the band tight, the mask sort of shifts or spins over my face as I move. And if I pulled the band tight, it seemed to put all the pressure right across my eyes. So this mask was a no-go.LitBear• At $14.39, this was on the pricier end. There is a nose bridge piece that helps block any sneaks of light, but I preferred the superior comfort of the masks that didn’t have that extra fabric bridge, over having every last peep of light obliterated. I can say the nose bridge had a nice cool feeling that I liked. But the critical problem for me was that my lashes brushed on the inside of this mask.MABAO• The mesh fabric on the outside does not speak comfort, but I realize that the outside fabric does not really rub on the skin, so it shouldn’t matter. However, the eye pockets in this one were just too shallow. I hadn’t even known that shallow eye wells could be a problem, but I am sure glad we had other masks with the deep eye wells. We bought this MABAO mask at the budget price of $5.99I might have mentioned that I am a real mover in my sleep, and sometimes these masks fell off, but to my surprise that didn’t happen often. Many in the family are side-sleepers, and none had complaints about buckles or straps pressing into their heads.After trying these 7 masks, we felt we could offer some helpful feedback to other shoppers. My best two recommendations were ZGGCD ($9.99) as the best mask of all, and LKY which was a decent and functional mask, and there were THREE masks for the same price. Then there were the three that I just could not get comfortable with: Zennsia, LitBear, and MABAO. I wouldn’t recommend these. Happy travels everyone!

I once stayed in an Airbnb that didn't have curtains and faced east, meaning that every morning I was awoken by the sun. That was the first time I realized that wearing an eye mask to bed could have its benefits. Because I travel a lot for business, I find that a good eye mask really helps me fall asleep faster, deeper, and for a longer time.I have tried a few eye masks, but this one is simply the most comfortable and durable one that I have found. Even after using it for a few months it still maintains its softness and form, although it is cheap enough to repurchase at regular intervals.If you are looking for a basic and comfortable eye mask that stays in place and gets the job done, look no further!

I am a light sleeper. Noise and light are the bane of me when I want some quality shut eye. This fixed the light problem. Silk feels good and quite soft. The size is perfect for blocking the light and the strap is comfortable.

These do feel comfortable and are soft to the touch. You do get a little light trying to peak through from the bottom by the crease of the nose. Albeit, still better than nothing. These do make a substantial difference if you need to crash for a little bit during the day.

Great soft silky eye cover that is very comfortable and breathable material. Has a good amount of eye indentation for comfort and the shape works well with a CPAP machine full face mask

Left stains on my pillowcase. They won't come out, even with bleach. Too bad, the mask was comfortable and effective.Update: They said they have fixed the color transfer problem and sent me a repalcement. I have been using it for a week and I don't see any smudges. The replacement is just as comfortable and effective.

I love this product. It's at a really great price and there's no compromise on quality. I would buy again any day of the week!

I finally figured that it was this mask that was leaving all the stains on my pillow cases. I wish I had read all the reviews rather than just look at the ratings.The mask works great. If you are only going to use it to sleep on the plane, then it's good. If you are using it in any kind of bed, skip it as it will stain.
