Contoured Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers – Zero Pressure Fit, Light Blocking Eye Shade for Sleeping & Travel – Black, Standard Size

My husband wanted a face mask to block out sunlight when traveling, seems to work very well. It is a bit bulky but definitely keeps out the light. Strap is comfortable and easy to adjust.

My sleep doctor recommends it. I have not just the three kinds of insomnia: can't fall asleep, stay asleep or get back to sleep but also a serious circadian rhythm problem: my internal clock is jiggered back about 5 hours so when others are getting sleepy, I'm rarin' to go. I've been seeing a sleep specialist for months. One of the first things she bade me do was darken our bedroom pitch black. Well...our windows face east and south and it would have take a lot to do that; plus, what are you going to do during the day? Hubby lit on wearing a sleep mask which I was hesitant to try because I don't like my face to feel bound. I also doubted a mask could truly block out all light. I'm delighted to say that this mask meets my needs perfectly. It's soft and comfortable. Sometimes I have to be careful not to lay with my face sideways or it'll push it out of place slightly. But I've learned--even in my sleep--to roll over slowly and it stays put. The BEST thing is: I put it on, the room is perfectly dark and I can still open and close my eyes!! So it doesn't mash down my eyelids which I would hate. It's large enough to fit around my eyes perfectly and the elastic band, which has velcro adjustment, keeps it on. I will admit that sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and find that it fell around my neck or off my head in the night...but that's after I've had a good night's sleep. If I have to get up in the night, I forget I'm wearing it. Highly recommended.

This is a product you don't even know you need until you try it and realize your sleep quality improves dramatically. I used to sleep face down until spinal issue forced me to sleep on my back. I hated the way my eyes tended to open more facing up and the greater amount of light you perceive in this position. Having the Nidra on totally blocks out all light and makes it much easier for your eyes to close naturally and/or not register any light if they do float open at times. It is also very comfortable in particular in the way it is shaped (domed out) so that the inner lining does not touch your eyes at all. This is very important and if you've ever tried to use a mask that rest flat on your face, and were irritated by it, you will be very pleased with this difference. I have only one small beef with the mask, and that may be an issue that pertains to me only, in that I tend to sweat at night more than most people might. I have had a couple of these masks and in each case the inner lining eventually starts to separate from the outer shell which causes a flap of fabric to bunch up inside the eye-piece of the mask. This can be addressed by smoothing the flap down and then placing the mask back on firmly but it is a bit annoying. I believe this may be related to my getting the mask sweaty more frequently than it is probably intended to endure but it would seem a good idea for the company to look at ways to strengthen the attachment between the lining and shell at the bottom of each eye-cup. I believe it is glued on and perhaps a very fine stitch would add the extra strength it needs to withstand moisture and extra heat. Otherwise, this is a very effective and inexpensive aid to much deeper quality sleep!

I know this makes me a silly person, but I own 5 sleep masks. One for each travel bag, one for my carryon, and one in each of my two regular residences. HOWEVER. My experience with sleep masks is to your benefit. This sleep mask is, hands down, the best I've ever experienced. Will you look ridiculous in it? Absolutely. But you'll sleep so incredibly well, you won't care. Nor will your loved ones, if they see you in it. This sleep mask actually fits around your nose, no sh*t, which is the most exciting and revolutionary aspect of a sleep mask I've ever seen. It genuinely won't let in light, even if you curl up on one side and sleep with your face half smashed into a pillow. The darkness is yours to sleep in! As long as you like! Rejoice, my friends. Also, this sleep mask is gently shaped so that if you DO wake up in the middle of the night, you can blink without getting material caught in your eyes. Some bona fide genius made it so that you can open your eyes under this mask. Without self-injury. Brilliant. So you don't need to remember that you've got a sleep mask on when you're groggy and waking up. You don't have to tear it off immediately in order to open your eyes. You can come back to the world gradually, and the world is a better place for it. Seriously, buy this sleep mask. I'm terrified that mine may wear out after a few years, and it won't be available anymore because not enough people kept the company in business. It's not showing any wear and tear yet, but nothing lasts forever. In fact, maybe I should buy several more now, just in case. My life will be better for it. You should also buy some, though. This sleep mask really IS all that.

The rounded cushioning does not stay well on a round brow. It's comfortable when it's in the right place, and seemingly good quality, I just couldn't get it to stay put.

I read about this product at TheWirecutter.com. It is their top-rated sleep mask. So I purchased it, and it does the trick perfectly! Honestly, I keep it next to my easy chair in our family room, so if I decide to take a nap when there, I have this sleep mask right there to block out ALL the light. Perfect! By the way, I have a large head. I was concerned at the time of purchase, will it fit my fat head! YES, and with room to spare! Perfect again!

Simply awesome. I just ordered three more. I travel extensively in my work (30+ weeks a year) and suffer from dry eyes. I wear this mask every night - as well as on airplanes. It not only keeps everything nice and dark (black) but also protects my eyes from drafts from hotel air conditioners and such that cause problems with the dry eye issue. Since I have a rather large nose, it is really nice that the nose area is cut out. Every other mask I have tried allows light in around the nose, but this one does not. It fits firmly and snugly to block out all light, but is also extremely comfortable. Why did I order three more? Because I keep one on my headboard at home, one in my suitcase for use in the hotel, and one in my backpack for use on the airplane. They do eventually wear out, but in my experience, that takes about four to six months of nightly use. So the three I ordered are replacing a couple I bought many months ago - plus I'll have a spare. I am a bit of a wild sleeper - I sleep on my back, side, and stomach through the night. This mask stays put, and it keeps the light out as well as the drafts. And it is extremely comfortable. Literally, the only problem I have had with this mask is that if I get up in the night, I will sometimes forget I have it on and walk into things (yep - I'm a klutz). But my point is, it is so comfortable, you forget you have it on. Lastly, I traveled over a million air miles and could NEVER sleep on airplanes due to the light and noise. In the last year, I have started wearing noise cancelling headphones and this mask. I now sleep on almost every flight. It is wonderful! I simply cannot recommend it highly enough.

I bought the old version about a year ago to replaced a cheap sleep mask that I had been using to see if I liked them. I decided to get one of these since the reviews were glowing everywhere and it had several features that I was looking for. I have been extremely pleased with the mask for the last year and was looking to replace it with a new one due to the elastic starting to be too stretched out. I received my mask and was immediately disappointed. The box was cover in filth and looked to have been stepped on, which is Amazon's fault not the manufacturer. Upon opening it I immediately came to realize that this is not at all the same mask I got a year ago. The mask part is about 10-15 percent smaller than the old one, which for my face means that there is a high likelihood of light leaking in. It is a subtle change and if I didn't have my old mask here to see it I probably wouldn't notice. The bigger issue is they completely changed the strap. Gone is the elastic and velcro which was a godsend for me and replaced with an odd feeling almost plush strap and a metal adjustment buckle. The strap feels odd in a bad way and uncomfortable to touch, I can't even imagine wearing it all night. The bigger issue personally is the metal buckle. On my previous cheap mask it would dig into my head at night and feel very uncomfortable. As the elastic stretched out and I had to adjust it this just became worse. Needless to say this mask does not at all have the features I am needing in a sleep mask anymore. I am going to be returning it for a refund.

I have been using this on planes to sleep and it effectively blocks out light and is easy on the eyes as it does not press on them at all.

This product does not look like the photo. The mask is thin without any contour for the nose as shown in the actual Nidra mask without any logo on the strap. Very flimsy strap. This is not a luxury mask or even a branded product shown in the Amazon website. Very disappointed. Have requested for return and refund

Product was received was genuine. It is as described - comfortable and stays on all night. Had to adjust it the first couple of nights as there was some light that came through the nose bridge. But managed to adjust it so that no light came through.

Item wasn't suitable and a return is not possible, even though this is not stated anywhere! Be very very careful of buying this!

Good construction and quality materials. The fact that it protrudes from the face make it slightly uncomfortable when one sleeps on the side. Blocks all light. A bit overkill for the purpose.
