As a night shift worker who has always struggled to get more than a few hours of unbroken sleep, and having tried various sleep masks over the years with little success- poor fit, don't block out the light, uncomfortable etc, I did some research and discovered these masks. The reviews all sounded promising but I did balk at first at spending £45. Then I thought, if it helps me sleep better than it has to be worth a try.
PRO'S: The mask arrived quickly. It is beautifully soft and a gorgeous shimmery colour ( midnight blue) and comes with a handy pouch for storage. The fit is great, easily adjustable with the wide velcro straps, and it doesnt move around your head while you're sleeping. It really does block out all the light once adjusted, which is a first. Super comfortable and soothing to the eyes when in place, whilst still being able to blink. Some reviewers have said that because the mask fits over your ears as well due to it's width, that they felt it helped to block out noise too. I can't say it did that for me, but then I am a very light sleeper. I have definitely managed to get a bit more sleep since using this though.
CONS: To be honest I felt that the packaging was OTT. I realise that the mask is a luxury item in itself, but the fancy box within another fancy box surely explains why this mask is so expensive. And once opened, these boxes just get thrown straight out, right? I do feel that the packaging costs could be brought down considerably and still…
