Very nice sleep mask. Gets Pitch dark, even in a sunny room, when fully on your face.
So, I ordered one brand of sleep mask on amazon, I won't name the brand, but it was my first sleep mask, and I liked it. I ordered another one as a travel one, of the same brand and it broke. They have good customer service and are replacing it, but in the interim I decided to order another brand, to try it. This is the one I decided to order.
USE CASE/USAGE: I was intrigued by the memory foam padding on it. So, let me start off by stating my reason for a sleep mask, it's I hate light when sleeping, it needs to be pitch black. This mask is better at this than my other mask, which while dark was thin, and it wasn't solid black, it was just extremely dark, still very much so useable and I do love it, but this one does get darker, which is nice. In all honesty, I'd give this 4.5, but I recognize due to my personal preferences only is why. I like the fact my other mask touches my eye lids. Its like faintly resting on my eyes, it kind of gives a comfort that it's closed and darker. This one, the memory foam padding prevents the middle from touching your eyes. This is great at preventing light bleed around the edges, so many I think would prefer this more.
FIT: It fits snuggly, and the padding on the eye gives a hefty feel without feeling too heavy. The strap is wide, so this may offend some people with taller ears, but for me it's doable just fine. It's very adjustable to downright tight, to very loose. Fits well, I'm a man, with a decently sized to large head. It has a nose groove on the inside too, to fit the padding better without pushing up on the mask.
PACKAGING: Packaging is awesome in this. It's 5 dollars more than my other mask I bought, which I wasn't sure was worth it, but you can tell it went to packaging. It comes delivered in a nice box, and pulling up the box you'll be greeted to some rice paper with the company logo, lifting this you will find the mask. Under that, you'll find a silk carrying pouch, with some earplugs. Under that, you'll find the company card thanking you for ordering, as well as their customer contact information The earplugs are nice, they are just foam, but I'm sure most people will use them on planes. I use this at home, so I don't, as I prefer my fan for white noise, but it's a nice touch. They come in a little case too.
SLEEP TEST: The most important part of a sleep mask. I tested it two nights now, as well as a nap here or there. It does the job well and blocks all light, you can barely notice it on your face, and once asleep you don't notice it at all. Works perfect.
MISC: I saw some users complaining about a smell. There is a smell, but it smells like foam from a factory, like that "new foam smell". It's not overpowering, and I have a sensitive nose, and it does seem to be fading each day, now on the third day it's nearly gone completely. Your milage may vary on this, however for me it's a non issue, I am only mentioning it as other reviews have.
So in short, I would recommend it. Will update if anything bad happens or any issues arise.
