16MM Silk Sleep Mask

For various reasons - including night terrors since childhood and more blue lights than an old episode of The Bill - I find it hard to sleep without a light on. But it's hard to sleep with a light on. Sleep masks can often feel fairly oppressive, too warm, or simply let in too much light. This one is beautiful. Starry Night - Van Gogh who had his share of terrors too - is a lovely design. Importantly, it feels good too, really soft and comfortable, you won't be slinging it off after an hour or so. It lets in no light at all but, in my case, there's the comfort of knowing that if I do have a night terror I won't be flailing around trying to find a light switch. (Just ordered some for friends, too.)

This is honestly a product that really does deserve a 5 star rating. I was genuinely very surprised (and pleased) by the price considering the quality of the mask. the three aspects that stand out to me the most are: 1. The quality and softness of the mask is immediately felt. Really nice, high-quality soft material with a lightweight padding inside so that it does not put too much pressure on your face. 2. I really like the adjustable strap. I used to have to pull the elastic on my old mask to loosen it as it would hurt my head. With an adjustable strap that is no problem. 3. Really important for me is that I have to have minimal pressure on my nose bridge. When I considered buying the mask I could see from the pictures that, unlike most masks, there is a lot of room for the nose. I know some people have made comments about the plastic casing it comes in. I personally don't care about what the mask is delivered in, and it may keep costs down by not having any fancy boxes. I guess Zimasilk could do some fancy boxes if they're gift sets and charge a bit more for those, but I honestly would rather keep the cost down as I don't use the plastic casing since the masks comes with it's own little pouch anyways.

Bought this mask to see if it would help me sleep better as sometimes I either can't get off to sleep to start with, or wake up around 3-4 am and can't get back to sleep. However since I got the mask I haven't had any problems sleeping so can't really say yet as it makes a difference. I have however tried sleeping with it on for a few hours and I can say it is quite comfortable, very soft and it does block out the light.

So soft, comfy & adjustable. Well made, pretty, big, blocks out light well. Can be a little uncomfortable around ears.

Lightweight and soft to the skin. Well made with an adjustable strap.

I have been looking to replace an old favourite (x 2 - both very well used) I got from a BA flight a few years ago as the elastic shad gone but had seen many that just seemed like they'd be rough or too narrow to keep out light and the ones with supposed 'nose flaps' never really seem to work - presumably because we all have different nose shapes/sizes. This does the trick and i think the silk helps it hold more, helping to block the light. The elastic seems decent quality, so hope will last a while. Easily adjustable which is good because i seem to have a 'small' head size vs your average bear. I was wary of silk as my old favourite had a sort of velveteen inside but actually, this seems good and does not slide around - even with me having the elastic set not too tight. Wide/deep enough to block out light. Have not washed it yet, but hopeful that with reasonable care it will be ok.

Purchased previously and loved it, cannot sleep without an eye mask and this one is so soft and cooling on the eyes, blocks out the light really well esp when my Husband is often reading with the light on. The adjustable feature means it’s not too tight as some without are uncomfortable. Will definitely buy again in the future.

Really quick delivery. This sleep mask was a first for me, and after a couple of nights of wearing it, I have found it very comfortable, it is so easy to adjusti the right fit and after some initial adjustment I have found it very good for blocking the light and have slept soundly. I will be buying another very soon, and would recommend to a friend with no hesitation!!

Die Maske ist sehr weich & anschmiegsam und dunkelt richtig gut ab, ohne zu drücken. Das Befestigungsband ist in der Weite für die Kopfgröße einstellbar. Ein kleines Täschchen zur Aufbewahrung oder Mitnahme auf Reisen ist auch dabei.

Ho provato moltissime mascherine. O sono misto sintetico e prudono, o sono troppo sottili e entra la luce, o l'elastico era troppo stetto... Questa invece è perfetta in pura seta, dentro, fuori e le cuciture! Nera non fa passare un raggio di luce! Indispensabile per riposini pomeridiani e per chi viaggia.

Lo mejor es la suavidad, he utilizado muchas "normales" y se nota la diferencia. Esta apenas notas que la llevas puesta, es muy suave y se ajusta bien. La única pega podría ser que se quede pequeña, yo tengo una cabeza normal -de hombre- y la he tenido que ajustar casi al máximo de lo que da para que no me apriete.

I love the material, it's very soft and even though I'm sleeping in a very hot room the mask doesn't feel warm in the slightest. My issue is that the band connects to the mask on the same level as my eyes, which means the main pressure line is right on them, rather than my brows or cheekbones, which is a bit unpleasant and means that the top and bottom of the mask fray outwards, even if the mask is not tight at all. Instead of a single point of connection at eye level, I would much rather have the mask connect to the rubber band on the top and bottom at the same time, which would allow for a better seal and wouldn't put pressure on the eyeballs.

Il s'ajuste bien à la tête, il est doux et couvre bien les yeux. Je suis satisfaite !
