OLESILK 100% Natural Mulberry Silk Eye Mask for Sleeping, Large, Black

I wouldn't sleep without the mask so so comfortable and soft love the silk material and the wide fitting. The sleep mask is real big on the face an when I wear the mask I tuck the ears in the mask and wear over the bridge of the nose. NO elasticated band around the ears and back of the head. NO plastic or rubber strap and you feel NO pressure what so ever. Not uncomfortable like others especially when lying on your back, so easy to adjust the fit. I can't see no light complete darkness.

I’ve been wearing this sleep mask consistently for almost a year. I’ll go into more detail on my experience with it below but will start what you need to know. In short, it will transform your sleep for the better. ============================ Pros Exceptionally comfortable Almost always stays on for the whole night Makes your sleep more restful Cons Can take a few moments of trial-and-error adjustment to achieve a complete light blackout as you get ready for sleep Can be a little too warm in the Summer months Needs frequent washing or dry cleaning (consider buying a spare to wear while your usual mask is being washed) ============================ Since I’ve began wearing this mask I’ve been surprised in a great way how comfortable it is. I joke with friends that sleeping is one of the few or only places where modern life can’t place demands on you. I’ve always liked sleeping in a dark room, to me the darkness is like a barrier between you and the real world. This mask took that comforting feeling to the next level. The mask is so comfortable in fact you easily could forget you’re wearing it. I really like how the silk is super smooth to the touch. I thought it would be unnerving to experience total blackout but it’s not, it’s very comforting. Yes, it’s always dark when you close your eyes but the mask takes that much further. I always feel more rested after a night wearing the eye mask. For me, I believe sleeping in total darkness is almost an antidote for our modern, always switched on lives where there is always some source of light. I also appreciate this mask has never left any creases or wear marks on my skin the next morning. I agree with other reviewers that the mask coverage of your ears add to the cocooning effect. When paired with a comfortable pillow, I’ve always found the mask to provide a soothing effect that makes me look forward to sleep even more than I already did. I don’t wear the mask at its tightest size setting. Yes, it provides a better fit when a little tighter but I did find the mask then began exerting a little pressure of my forehead, eyes and ears, loosening the Velcro slightly prevents this but still gives me a total blackout. When the mask was too tight I found myself waking up during the night to loosen it. After some research, I’ve read that the less light that your eyes “see” while sleeping helps your body to produce the correct amount of melatonin during the night to provide the proper recovery benefits of sleep. I only discovered the benefits of wearing a sleep mask from my new girlfriend. I was curious why she wore it when it was time for sleep during our first night together. She explained she preferred the total blackout offered by the mask and always slept better while wearing it. I accepted and appreciated this but over time I was curious to try it too. Even though I didn't mention it again, it wasn't long before she offered me her spare mask she keeps while her usual mask is being washed. She said “Try it for a few days. I think you will like it”. Even though her masks are pink, I accepted her offer. She even helped me put it on for the first time. It felt really nice when she gently placed it over my eyes. Next she gently fastened the Velcro and whispered, "Do you have a full blackout?" "Not quite yet", I said. She tightened and adjusted the Velcro several times and the fit around my nose until it offered the perfect fit and a total blackout. Next, she whispered, "Let's get you nice and comfortable inside your own little cocoon" as she gently adjusted and smoothed out the sides of the mask to cover my ears. She contineued whispering "Now, you're all set. How does that feel?" "Really good, thank you", I responded in my own whisper. When my head touched my pillow I could feel exactly why she prefers it. The mask gently cushions your head but the padding “re-plumps” the next morning. I was struck by how soothing the mask was to wear with the soft silky padding covering my ears, adding to a very comforting cocooning effect. It reminded me of being on a camping trip and when its extra cold I sleep in my down jacket while wearing its super soft, generously padded hood raised over my head. With the full blackout experience in place, when I woke up in the morning after the first night of wearing it, I felt more rested. The second night I now knew how best to put it on myself thanks to my girlfriend and again slept great. I ordered my own set of masks in Aqua green on the 3rd day with them arriving just 2 days later. I almost always sleep on my sides, but the masks Velcro strap still gently cushions your head if you sleep on your back. I still found it extremely comfortable in that position. I prefer this type of mask since its basic and doesn’t include any means of playing music. The thick padding inside the silk can get a little warm in the Summer since it seems to provide a slight insulating effect but I try to have the room cooler in the Summer if I can and to slightly loosen the mask a bit to help with this. Having to send the mask for dry cleaning every 2 weeks is an extra expense but I feel it’s worth it. One other potential issue is you may become too used to wearing an eye mask for sleeping. When I was away travelling for business at short notice, I didn’t pack mine and it took some getting used to not wearing it. Let me expand on this disadvantage a little. On these very small number of occasions (even when I wasn’t travelling), I seem to be even more sensitive to the remaining light in the bedroom. We do use thick window blinds but with bright white LED street lights outside, inevitably some light comes in (even if it is indirect light). I can still sleep but it takes longer to settle down even when I not facing the windows. I’ve found my body has just become used to sleeping in total darkness. I also really enjoy wearing this mask in the Spring and Summer mornings when the sun is up very early in the morning. With this masks full blackout you can still have a restful sleep until your alarm clock wakes you up. Very useful for a weekend lie in. I’m a total convert to wearing a sleep mask. Probably not many guys wear one. I also realise silk sleep masks are generally intended for women, but any colour can be worn by a lady or a guy (even the pink for guys since the masks are a more subtle shade of pink). Even when I wore my girlfriend’s pink mask, its colour was never an issue for me. I still occasionally thank my girlfriend for introducing not only this mask to me but the wider concept of why it’s beneficial to wear one. I’ve worn my own Aqua green mask every night I can since buying it and love the better sleep it gives me in return. Thanks for reading.

Comfortable and brilliant for blocking out light.

Absolutely amazing sleep mask. Definitely real silk. Padded, soft, comfortable and large enough to block light. Can get a bit warm in this end weather but A real game changer and would definitely recommend.

so soft and comfortable to sleep in, blocks out light very well. very soft on the face and eyes. Worth the money. stays on throughout the night.

Nice, it's definitely made of POLYESTER and not silk so dissapointing to be lied to, but I never expected it to actually be silk. Keeps the light out, gentle to wear, leads to better quality sleep. A bit overpriced for what it is, but not for the improvement in sleep.

This mask has changed things no end for me. I had never considered a mask until I was given a free one from a flight (a small cheap one with an elastic band where the dye comes out on your face) but I could tell I was sleeping longer. I read the reviews on this one and I love love love it! It’s so comfy to wear, feels padded and silky and also covers my ears so sort of adds to the cocoon effect. It blocks out all the light, but because it’s not tight you can lift it slightly to look under it. I cannot stand pressure of any sort on my nose, and this one has a small slit so even though it goes over my nose, I can’t feel it. It doesn’t feel restrictive. I can honestly sleep for about 3 extra hours without stirring after sunrise, unlike without. Would highly recommend.

I like how large these are as it helps block all light from all different angles. It’s comfortable and very soft although many mornings I wake up with it removed. Intense bed time wrigglers may have to see the morning sun occasionally.

Die Schlafmaske sitzt super gut am Kopf. Man kann es sehr gut einstellen und nichts drückt weder im Gesicht noch am Kopf oder am Hinterkopf. Wenn jemand zum Beispiel Migräne hat oder empfindlich am Kopf ist oder ist nicht gerne mag dass Augenmasken enger sitzen ist diese Maske wirklich empfehlenswert. Ich liebe sie, weil sie wirklich weich auf der Haut sitzt, gut dunkel macht und überhaupt nicht unbequem ist, sondern im Gegenteil sehr bequem aus. Ich würde sie immer wieder kaufen. Auch die Qualität vom Stoff ist sehr gut.

Morbidissima e confortevole

Très doux, occultant et confortable pour les oreilles. Permet également de garder les bouchons d'oreille bien en place toute la nuit. Un peu cher mais vite rentabilisé pour une utilisation quotidienne.

Super. Doux et confortable

comprovo que nas deixa passar luz. E não é desconfortável ao usar
