Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I tried three sleep masks, two of which, Sweet Dreams and Lewis N Clark, were highly rated and popular. The third mask, Macks Dreamweaver Contoured Sleep Mask, I had a hard time finding on Amazon, but am glad I did. It was the one I ultimately kept and recommend. Below are my reviews of the three sleep masks and why I chose the Macks Dreamweaver. Dream Essentials Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask Pros: * Does a good job of blocking light * The contoured design doesn't put any pressure on the eyes, if the mask stays in place * Comfortable material Cons: * The elastic strap kept riding down and onto my ears. It felt like it was cutting into my ears. * The nose opening is too low, causing the mask, and thus the eye sockets, to ride up, defeating the purpose of the contoured eye socket. * Not good for side sleepers as the mask does dislodge * Cheap feeling pouch I wanted to like this mask based on all the positive reviews, but ultimately the bad position of the elastic strap, and the fact that it kept riding up on my face, were what made me give up on it. I didn't have it long enough to verify the delamination that others had experienced. Lewis N. Clark Comfort Eye Mask Pros: * Does a decent job of blocking light when it stays in place * While not great for side sleepers, it was better than the other two Cons: * Like wearing a tight fleece jacket around the eyes. * As the night progressed, the elastic strap slipped down and felt like it was cutting into my ears * Nose opening is way too low, causing the mask to ride up and thus allowing light in from the bottom I would have settled for this one had I not found the Macks Dreamweaver, but like the Sweet Dreams mask, the elastic strap cutting into my ears was the determining factor. I liked this one slightly better than the Sweet Dreams because it did seem to stay in place a bit better. Macks Dreamweaver Contoured Sleep Mask (Pack of 2) Pros: * Blocks light the best of the three masks * Nose opening is at the right height * Contoured eye sockets are large enough to accommodate some movement * Comfortable material * Has two, slim, adjustable elastic straps instead of one large one * Does not cut into the tops of the ears * For about the same price as one of the other masks, you get two of these Cons: * If you are a side sleeper or move around, like the other masks, it will move, but it was still comfortable, even after moving. * The material is basically identical to the Sweet Dreams mask, which makes me wonder if it will delaminate like people have found with the Sweet Dreams, but I haven't used it for more than a few weeks now. So far, no delamination. But if there is, a second one came with it. While the Dreamweaver isn't perfect, given the fact that it won't stay in place with movement (Do any masks stay in place all night?!), it was the best of the three. The comfortable positioning of the eye sockets, nose opening and two straps make this the winner.
