Wild Essentials Infinity Fleece Luxury Sleep Mask - Breezy Blue

I have been in search of the perfect sleep mask for a couple years ~ purchasing several from the more expensive (Tempurpedic) to the less expensive (Bucky) and several in between. Until this Infinity Sleep Mask arrived, I was mostly using the Bucky, which the velcro strap sits right above my ear and after a few nights, that skin is rubbed sensitive from the strap, not to mention light leaks around both sides of nose. When I opened the Infinity mask, I thought I would be sending it back because it looked too stiff, the straps seemed sewn into the mask too high to hold it in place. After washing my face and trying it on, I was pleasantly surprised and decided I'd keep it. I must say this mask is pretty close to perfect and does the best (out of the many I've bought), of maintaining a total black out!! The straps are higher therefore do not rub the skin at the top of my ears. It basically has two padded cups for your eyes, so you can still open your eyes. It stays in place pretty well and is very comfortable. (Disclaimer: I have an adjustable TempurPedic bed so I sleep on my back, turning my head from side to side). I'm not sure how it would do as side sleeper or stomach sleeper. It's by far the best I've tried and I'll definitely purchase another one. Occasionally it seems hot over my eyes, but then at my age (58) everything seems hot from time to time!!

What a godsend this mask has been! I am a light sleeper and the summers would see me wake up much earlier than I'd have liked to, because it is light outside. I bought the mask on a whim after reading the reviews here, but now I don't go to sleep without it. Pros: 1) Very comfortable and a good size - the fleece feels good, temperature stays close to body (unlike silk lined masks that feel cool). It's also 'substantial'...i.e. doesn't feel flimsy 2) The adjustable velcro strap doesn't get caught in my hair and stays securely fastened 3) The design is such that your eyes don't press against the fleece - there is a 'cup' like area that your eyes rest against, and this allows you to blink comfortably. 4) Really keeps the light out, and does that make a difference to how rested you feel, when you wake up! Cons: 1) When you turn on your side sometimes, the mask tends to 'give' forward and let a little light in, but I've found it easy to adjust. All in all, I am very pleased with the product!

Having purchased 2 of these masks years ago, they were the best out there. Fantastic quality, kept the pesky light out and were very comfortable. Couldn't wait to purchase 2 more however, these are going back asap. The old tag says "made in Canada" Guess where the new and crappier ones are now made? China of course. The quality has tanked, the velcro is stiff and uncomfortable. The front of the mask is paper thin with a light fabric covering. Overall the whole mask is garbage. Interestingly enough, the company website says they're a "small family owned business in CT, hand making their own products" and charging $19.99 for this sub par mask. Even if these were free, it's not worth it. Purchase a better brand to ensure better sleep.

Fleece! Love it. And it is totally fine for side-sleepers who are like me (more on this below). The fleece is great for me because it doesn't irritate my skin. The other masks I've tried have all been made of some sort of nylon-ish type fabric and they have all given me a rash on my cheek under the one eye, for whatever reason. No irritation and no rash with this mask. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY: This is the best sleep mask I've ever used. And I've tried many many. This is the only one in my experience that blocks out ALL light. When I get it into the right position, no light comes in along the bottom (over the bridge of the nose) like you get with the other masks. The sockets are relatively cavernous (which is why the mask can completely block out the light) so there is no pressure on your eyelids, no contact with eyelashes, etc. Lastly, I know some other commenters have said that this mask is not for side-sleepers. Well, I'm a side-sleeper and I've figured out how to make it work. Maybe it depends on the type of pillow you use? Who knows. Personally, I just sort of bunch up the pillow so its narrower and then I place my head so the thickest part of the pillow hits right along my jaw bone. This is very comfortable for me. But I realize everyone is different.

This mask is soft and cute but the "mask" portion is cardboard covered in the soft fabric. There is also a cushioned ridge that surrounds the eye area to block out all light. It works for blocking light but is so uncomfortable for side sleepers.

I purchased this sleep mask as the early morning light is very prominent in our bedroom making it difficult for me to sleep. I also use the mask when I take a short nap in the afternoon. This is by far the most comfortable sleep mask that I've ever owned, however it's only comfortable if you sleep on your back. When sleeping in this position, the mask blocks out 100% of the light and is so soft that you're not even aware that you're wearing it. It's truly wonderful when used in this fashion. The problem arises when you try to use the mask while sleeping on your side. Doing so is a completely different experience, as the somewhat rigid edges of the mask make it uncomfortable when your face is sideways on your pillow. When using it in this fashion, the comfort factor disappears, as the edges can be felt pushing into your face. The best way to remedy this is to push your hand down on the section of pillow that your face will be resting. If you do this, you'll still notice some discomfort, but at least it will be bearable. The bottom line is that this sleep mask is superb for back sleepers, but not recommended for side sleepers. I primarily sleep on my back, but occasionally do so on my side. I've deducted 1 star for this reason, but each person will be different. If you only sleep on your back, this is a 5 star product, however if you only sleep on your side you'll probably not like it at all. Pros: Blocks out 100% of the light. Very soft and comfortable when sleeping on your back. No pressure on your eyes; it's hard to know that you're even wearing it. Velcro fasteners ensure that the mask fits properly. Cons: Uncomfortable when sleeping on your side. Would I buy it again: Yes, but with reservations as it's not comfortable when sleeping on my side.

This mask is a perfect combination of comfort and function. I went back and ordered me an extra to have as a backup as well as ordering one for a friend. Super soft. Washes well in a net laundry bag.

This sleep mask does work to keep the light out and it is fairly comfortable, but I find it bulky. It is very thick, with a soft ridge of fabric that outlines the eyes and is fitted across the nose (similar to the way ski goggles fit). It works pretty well if you are sleeping on your back but it slips to the side when sleeping on your side (unless you wear the strap uncomfortably tight), and it would be totally unsuitable for those who sleep on their stomach. I also find that due to the quantity of fabric covering my face, the mask is hot when the weather is hot and humid. Apparently Dream Essentials makes another mask that is all natural fibres and is not so thick. I think I would probably like that one better but after spending $40 on this one I don't want to fork out the money to try another type.

Super disappointed. I've tried a few of the different masks from this company and have been happy with everyone but this one. It's so uncomfortable and cheap feeling.

Very comfortable with full light blockage. Little slippage when side sleeping, but ok with some adjustment. Fully recommend this product

Super comfy- wear it every night!

Awesome! Works really well, no pressing on the eyelids. Only thing I would say negative is the strap is positioned a little too high. Could modify, will eventually do so.

Comfortable, form fitting and made to feel like it will last. Time will tell, but after 2 weeks, it has been excellent!
