★★☆☆☆
Updated design is terrible. Let's in light.
Decided to replace my 2018 design mask because the straps are stretched out. Unfortunately, the updated design mask let's in a great deal of light around the nose. The old design used softer, more supple material around the nose notch that really sealed out the light. The updated mask is smaller and thicker, as well. As a result, I feel it pressing on my eyes; not a problem with the old design. The old design just worked. This updated mask is a huge disappointment. I had been using the Drift to Sleep mask. It's a good mask with that "3D" structure which just means it bulges out over your eyes so they don't feel any mask pressure. Trouble with the Drift to Sleep is that I'm a side sleeper. Side sleeping causes the 3D masks to bend just enough to allow light in around the bridge of your nose. This Cotton mask, though, is soft and floppy so it does not bend when you side sleep. On top of that, they've sewn in a stiff but flexible wire where the mask contacts the bridge of your nose. As long as you gently squeeze form that wire into place across your nose (sometimes after your head hits the pillow) no light will get through. You will experience total blackness or something very, very close to it. My eyelashes do contact the inside of the mask. But as long as I'm not blinking while wearing the mask (and I'm not) it is barely noticeable. One other important feature of this mask is the adjustable strap. It really works and it is does not use Velcro. I've used the mask everyday for about 6 weeks. And I've traveled with it. It still looks and works great. It should last for a long time. The mask does come with a case. I don't like the case because it's to small for the mask unless you really fold it small.
