I've owned and used a traditional silk sleep mask for a while now, and have been very happy with it. When presented the opportunity to try this one at no risk, I decided to give it a chance. The product was well-packaged and shipped quickly. I planned to test the mask in the evenings, while my wife was still up reading or watching TV. The day the package arrived, however, I was fighting one of the worst headaches I've had in a while. I tried it out immediately, and have used it numerous times since then: it's a far better mask than I expected! There was only one drawback, in my opinion (see below), but it is a minor one.
I'm a big fellow. with some extra weight in my face. I did not expect the mask to fit well, or make a complete light-blocking experience, but it completely exceeded my expectations. I'm going to cover some details regarding the mask, and also the bonus items (i.e., earplugs and back-up mask) that came with it. Note: my review is based on the mask alone, and not on any of the bonus items.
THE MASK
----------------
As soon as I put it on, it was as dark as a cave with no light source. It completely shut out the light--no leakage around the nose or at the far edges. It was comfortable, too. I was accustomed to the feel of a soft, silky mask against my eyes, but this felt more like wearing a small, ultralight, well-fitting pair of ski goggles. I was concerned that the thickness of the hook-loop strap (where the two ends came together) would make laying on it uncomfortable, but it wasn't an issue. The mask maintained total darkness whether flat on my back or laying on my side, even when the mask was being pushed by a pillow. My head fits hats on the boundary of XL/XXL (almost 24" circumference). The strap on the mask fit me well and left some room for even larger sizes (almost another inch of strap available). Because of the material, I expected the mask to be hot, but it never caused me to sweat (indoor temperature ranged from 68-78°F).
The only problem I have with this mask is the use of the hook-loop closure. It caught on a sweater I wore during a nap. It's a problem easy enough to avoid if you remain mindful of it. Personally, I'd like to see the hook-loop closure replaced with an elastic or web strap with an adjustable slider.
THE EXTRAS
-------------------
Note: my rating for this product is solely based on my review of the mask itself. The other items were included as "extras" or "bonus items," so they weren't part of my review. The price of the product is in line with what I'd pay for the mask itself, without the extras.
THE BACKUP MASK
-----------------------------
I didn't spend much time with this one. It's made of some cheap, synthetic materials, and I didn't like the feel of it against my skin. I gave it to one of my younger children, who was excited to have a mask to wear like the ones their mother and I use. It may work in a pinch, but it's nothing I'd want to use--even occasionally.
THE EARPLUGS
-----------------------
The mask came with two sets of earplugs, each with a plastic carrying case. They are the foam type that require you to pinch/roll them before inserting them into your ear canal. The two sets I received (one blue, one green) were either made from different materials, or were drastically different in quality. The green ones were completely unusable, because they would spring back to their original shape before I could insert them into my ears. The blue ones expanded more slowly, but still faster than those I regularly purchase. It took me a few attempts before I successfully got those into my ears. My recommendation: throw out the earplugs they shipped, but keep the little cases. They are ideal for keeping a set in a pocket or purse, and I'd pay $1 to buy an earplug case. Just buy some good earplugs, and you're good to go.
OVERALL
--------------
This is a surprisingly nice sleep mask that completely blocks the light. It's well worth the price, even without the bonus items. Be aware of the hook-loop closure if you wear a sweater, or have furniture or bedding that would be prone to snags. In my opinion, the earplug cases are worth about $1 each, but you'll be better served with your own earplugs.
I'm highly likely to purchase another one of these, should this one get lost. I'll also consider purchasing this as a gift for folks I know who may be looking for a a sleep mask.
This is one of the best sleep masks I have ever owned. I have been using it from the day it was delivered so its been a week now. It's very soft and comfortable and keeps all the light out. I like the fact that there's space in each eye cap so it does not press against my eyes which it what makes it different from others I have owned. It's also adjustable so I can put make it however tight I want. I almost got another brand that came with more sleep masks in the pack but I'm glad I went with this. Even though it only comes with one mask compared to other brands, this is really worth it because you won't have any issues with it fitting your nose area correctly because of the design. I'm going to be ordering a back up mask when I get back from Thanksgiving holidays so I can have one for when I wash this. Get this mask and you won't regret it.
I have long eyelashes, so I'd like a deeper cup, but as it is, this is the most comfortable eye mask I've ever used. Aside from being soft, it has little to no light leakage, it doesn't trap heat, it stays in place while I move around in my sleep, and the small bum made by the band at the back of the head is easily absorbed by my pillow, so it doesn't botehr me. With all the electronics we have in our bedrooms these days, there always seems to be some led making itself known at night. I am using this nightly for that reason. I feel I am sleeping more soundly -- I wake feeling more rested, and I am less likely to wake too early.
To start, I only wear the travel mask and I love that. But I wanted to wear the main one but couldn’t. If you have a tender head, and sleep on your back, the Velcro connection I found bothersome causing a headache. That said, the eye mask portion is Wonderful. I could and would wear it if the connection was on the sides. I realize that would be difficult to create. Or if there were just thin elastic straps combined with the eye mask itself .... that would be a home run. If you can tolerate sleeping on something a bit firm and don’t mind the pressure from a strap, there is a blackout sensation and your eyes can blink freely.
I've used this product for a year. It fits very well on my face with the adjustable strap on the back. Once over the eyes I like the fact with the contoured part giving my eyes room. I haven't used a regular sleeping mask before but it's very nice to not have fabric directly on my eye. Sometimes, because of my nose light will come in or during the night it will slip a bit, but my first time using the mask I thought it was the middle of the night when the sun was fully out. Depending on how long I wear the mask it can become uncomfortable but that is bound to happen while you are sleeping. The product was exactly what I was looking for, and even the bonus of an extra mask and ear plugs is awesome.

Description
New Packaging start from November!
Start from November our contoured sleep mask comes in a travel bag packaing together with upgraded Honeywell earplugs as gift. However, we no longer provide the 2nd backup mask.
Our innovative material
our slow-rebound memory foam is a unique temperature-sensitive material, softening when coming into contact with the body's warmth. This quality not only results in a more natural fit and more complete light blockage, but also a more comfortable overall experience.
Why do you need a sleep mask?
The hormone that regulates the day-night cycle of the human body and controls recovery phases during sleep is called melatonin, and to produce this hormone, sufficient darkness is required. Even the slightest light exposure, a smart phone screen for example, can present a disturbance to sleep. An expertly designed mask, however, will naturally help to increase melatonin levels and enhance REM sleep.

It is very comfortable. I gave it 4 stars because:
1. I have to put it almost to the edge of my nose for it to completely block out all light. But I do have a small nose and face... so that could be a factor.
2. It shifts when you turn sideways, and you can peek through your nose.
Basically the contour is not that amazing, but it is comfy and does block out light well when worn and adjusted accordingly.
I am super picky about stuff like this and the littlest things can keep me from sleeping, but this mask is perfect!! I use it when my husband stays up later than me and it is SO comfy, you don't feel like you really have anything on your eyes!
There are 2 kinds of sleep masks on the package along with the ear plugs. The masks are comfortable to wear, and they feel of good quality material. Happy with the product.
I had to buy this - my wife wakes up in the middle of the night every time she uses the restroom. I’m a very light sleeper, any lights wakes me up. This eye mask helps keep my sight completely dark and keep me sleeping. It takes sometime to get use to - since it’s strap around your head.
The notched area for the nose is the key. This mask blocks so much more light than the standard mask. The depth of the eye well is great too because it allows for eyelashes. I would not change a thing, but I would add an option for a cooling mask with this design. I highly recommend this mask.
