Alaska Bear Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers 2022 Headband Design, Cup-Shaped and Extra-Soft, 100 Blackout Eye Mask Shades Cover for Men and Women Home or Travel, Machine Washable, Black

Finally, a comfortable eye mask with protection against eye pressure. I have severe dry eye and any pressure on my eyes/eyelids during the night can cause pain. Although other eye masks offer the pressure protection, they usually have narrow bands with slides or velcro for closure. The narrow bands slide up or down behind my ears, or over my ears causing ear discomfort or eyemask slippage. This mask, with its soft, wide bands using something similar to velcro but softer, is a game changer.

I've had this now for a little over a month and I absolutely love it, and how did I ever live without it in my life?? My work swaps back between days and nights, so getting good sleep can be difficult, and my room gets direct light in the mornings. I used to use "traditional" sleep masks, and I have quite a few, but the light always peeks through, some felt like they put a lot of pressure directly on my eyeballs, and some would slip off. But the Alaska Bear sleep mask does none of that! It fits comfortably around my eyes (I can actually open and blink with it on), the strap is adjustable so it fits snug and comfortably around my head, and while I'm mainly a side sleeper sometimes I flip to my stomach, but no matter how much moving I do while I sleep, this mask stays in place and doesn't feel bulky on the side of my face. I was afraid it would feel heavy because it's a bit thick, but it's not! Very lightweight, soft, and comfy! I use this every time I sleep, even when I am getting to sleep at night like a normal person lol. And just to tell you how well it blocks out the light, when I got it, I put it on and looked directly up towards the light over my bathroom sink, and this mask blocked out 99.9999% of the light. I absolutely love it, and will be ordering a couple more so I can make sure I always have one to use if one is being washed, and probably even a dedicated one to use for travel. I looked at others out there that are similar and pretty pricey, so I was glad when I came across the Alaska Bear with it's great price point. Thanks for making such an awesome and affordable product!

Amazing item. Bought this in anticipation of a trans-Atlantic trips, but had the chance to use this item the past few nights. It was easy to adjust, it seriously blocks out any light, AND it's comfortable. I'm a side sleeper so I was a bit worried about that. Well worth the purchase IMO.

3.5 stars rounded up. I've had this eye mask for 5 months and, overall, it's great. The material is soft and smooth, it doesn't leave creases on my face, I don't find it to be overly hot, it's super easy to adjust, it doesn't rub uncomfortably on my ears, it does block all light for me, I can open my eyes without them rubbing, neither the tag nor the low profile adjustment slider bothers me, etc. I'm primarily a side sleeper and rarely a back sleeper. It's comfortable in both positions. It came in a plastic ziplock style bag (a cheap one for sure, but better than nothing) which I appreciate, as I continue to keep it there when not in use. I don't wear it every night, more like 3 days a month depending upon how dry my eyes are. I have two concerns, though. A minor concern is the wrinkles in between the eye pads. No big deal right now, but it worries me that the padding might start to disintegrate soon or rip open. The much larger concern is that it's not ideal for people with small heads. I have a small head and it's so difficult to find items that work well in a world full of big heads with the one-size-fits-all approach. The circumference of my head is about 20" where my eyes are and even on the tightest adjustment, as I stretch this over my head for use, it seems to keep stretching out a bit and it started close to be being too large to begin with. I'm worried it's going to just start sliding down my face soon. As you can see in one of my pictures, you can only adjust the tightener/slider to a certain point because it then runs into another seam so nothing bothers your ears. I really wish they had a S/M and L/XL version, so those of us with small heads don't have to worry that we can only stretch it over our head so many times before it simply won't stay in place anymore. Furthermore, when you have a small head and the eye cups alone are about 7.75" wide, the raised eye cups are already nearly touching my ears and I wish they were a bit more narrow too. I know it's incredibly difficult to get people to do anything, like measure, before they purchase and then complain online 😂, but most people at least know if they have a small or big head and a size differential would be so helpful. If you have a big head, this is 5 out of 5 stars. If you have a small head, it's the best I've found so far, but not flawless. Good luck to my fellow small heads out there.

I’ve tried a lot of sleep masks over the years, but the Alaska Bear Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers has easily become my favorite. The cup-shaped design really does give a true 100% blackout — no light sneaks in at the edges, even in a bright room. The fabric feels incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, and the headband design stays comfortably in place without pressing too hard.

I bought this before a summer camping trip and it was worth every penny! It is super comfortable and soft. It blocks out the light and stays on my face when sleeping. I like that it is cushioned in a way that doesn’t put pressure on your eyes and gives you lashes room if you wear extensions.
