ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask 2 Straps, Mulberry Silk, Twin Thin Elastic Bands Stay Put All Night, Smooth Eye Mask Two Adjustable Head Strings and Nose Baffle

I appreciate the double elastic bands as single band types tend ride up as I flip side to side in the night. The texture is nice and silky. It would come out of the laundry just fine without warping or bunching the padding, so it's easy to wash.I think it's a good choice for the money. I do wish they had a size for a bigger nose, as I felt the nose bridge cover did block out extra light but lifted the mask off my face a bit.

Soft, silky, comfortable and with the nose baffle the best light blocking I've ever had. I own two of these now and will not buy other face masks because nothing else is good enough. Quality is excellent and I've had these for years now. The weight is just right and makes me feel relaxed when I put it on.

Good product and succeeded in working as I hoped. Unlike most the primary need and use is more protect my eyes as I have received corneal transplants in addition to plastic retinas which leaves me somewhat with Tonic Pupils. Mainly very slow to react to light changes. Due to the corneal transplants I also put sodium chloride gel in the eyes at bedtime. So my use is three-fold.1) Protect my eyes from rubbing on the pillow, blanket, and at times rubbing an itch which happens a lot and painful as it will rupture tiny water blisters which sting unbelievably for hours. If you need gory details…Search Fuch’s Dystrophy. This is the primary need which it worked great. It is also why I reviewed this. It fills a niche need many people may have.2) Keeps the goop in the eyes as well and not on pillows etc.3) It also works very well as intended. Others seem to enter my bedroom as I am on my back facing the ceiling and light, first opening the door which wakes me up, secondly flipping on the light. Leaving me feeling like lasers burning the back of my eyes. It doesn’t happen often. Generally more often than I want. It doesn’t take much light actually.I wanted to give this 5 stars and would have except for me, it seemed to let in a small bit of light around the nose only noticeable until I turned off the light. I have a few little lights that shine at night. Mainly my TV has a background light displaying Vizeo in case I forget the brand during the night, a charger, and clock display. For me it is really a non issue. I keep the room like a tomb and what light my eyes do adjust anyway. But next time I might try the added nose piece if it matters. Outside of that It block all light, stayed on, wasn’t too tight after I adjusted it. One strap above the ears and the lower strap below. It was snug, but not so loose it would move around. I plan to recommend it to the eye surgeon and a few message boards. Everyone complains, but so far I haven’t seen or heard anyone try it. It is maybe a very small intimate group of people to pander to, but it is also a group that often has suffered through several years of increasing eye pain often not realizing what is causing it.EDIT..Second night ...no light at all comes through. This is my first and only mask I have tried and really does what I need. It is well made, fits nice without being too tight or hot. I give it the extra star it deserves. It is probably more a matter of adjustment. Those that say it is too tight or too loose probably need to adjust to where it is simply snug. If it was too tight against my eyes, I would know! After two nights I wonder what I did without it! I have little cones that I could place between the mask and eye to prevent it perhaps, but I haven't needed them. My son was able to come in at 3 am, turn on the light to locate what he needed without pain in total darkness make life a little easier for him as well as myself. It does little to deaden the noise, but I am retired and I can live with that. In addition to above I also wonder how well it would work at this time of year for those that have issues with pollen and perhaps pet dander etc. I don’t have this problem, but maybe someone can comment if they used it for that purpose or as an additional advantage.

It is a simple design but stays put on my face at night. I put one strap above and one strap below my ear so it doesn't ride up or down. The thing I don't like is the piece of material over the nose. If it was just about 1/8 of an inch shorter, it would be better. When I exhale, it flaps on my nose. Thankfully a needle and thread fixed that problem. Great for side sleepers. The price for it is too steep though for the quality. If it didn't have two straps, this review wouldn't be as high. But it is soft and size is good. Most of light is blocked.

I frequently reviews for purchases, but don't think I've ever gushed over a purchase as much as this one. I am surprised about how much I love this. In the past, I have been unable to tolerate a band or anything else on my face or head when trying to sleep. There are always lights at night - particularly the nearby street lamp. This is wonderful! I had no idea what it is like to sleep in darkness. There is pleanty of room to open/close your eyes without anything touching the lashes. The double bands keep the mask in place while feeling like there is nothing on at all.

The media could not be loaded. This ALASKA BEAR Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Two Twin Thin Adjustable Elastic Bands and Nose Baffle is nice. I read reviews and decided to buy this mask as well as the Tim and Tina sleep mask to compare the two. You can check out my video review of the two masks. What I will say is that I could not tell a difference in quality. The ALASKA BEAR does have a nose baffle and comes in a sealed envelope and plastic bag but as far as the silk goes I could not tell a difference. The straps look identical and have good adjustability. They both have a bit of padding to give it some cushion. I think people should invest in whatever fits their price point best. I do believe that both masks are real silk. Neither felt like satin. They both had a cooling effect when placed against the skin. The Alaska Bear being mulberry silk may make a difference for some.
