Customer Reviews of Dream Essentials Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask with Earplugs and Carry Pouch, Black
Customer Review: cool-wearing sleep mask
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite sleep mask. I also own another (see my other reviews). The other mask may block a tiny bit more light near the nose, but this one can be lowered to do nearly as well and it is so lightweight that my face doesn't notice it as much. There is a coolness to its thinner fabric which I prefer and hence I use it occasionally now at home since I've returned from my big trip to Europe. The cost is not excessive, it blocks light well (I suppose you'd have to adjust it against a slit of light near the lower end if you wore it in broad daylight) and the comfort is high. Personally, I don't wear a mask in broad daylight. Ha! We do have an annoying streetlight outside our window, though, and on warm nights with the room-darkening shades up a bit for fresh air, this mask performs well.Customer Review: Some Pros and Cons...
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros:
hmmm... better move on to cons.
Cons:
- Elastic strap placed too low and cuts into ears.
- Mask contours blocks just enough light from the bottom to make these worthless.
- Raised contours don't cover eyes, so mask presses on eyes anyway.
- By the time I wake up, the mask has made its way to my forehead, regardless of how tight it was.
- Flimsy lightweight material.
If these cost more than 50 cents a pop to mass produce, these sellers are being ripped off.
-- The guy who apparently has a very strange head shape and sense of quality given all the other positive reviews, but seems to be doing fine with the sleep mask he got at wal-mart... Please note my newfound skepticism and suspicion of every other positive review.
Customer Review: Really Comfortable - Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This Dream Essentials "Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask" is so much more comfortable than the "standard" flat masks. Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Contoured; unlike most other masks, this is shaped so the fabric doesn't touch your eyes\eyelashes
+ Thick Fabric; blocks light very well
+ Adjustable; head strap band uses Velcro to ensure it fits correctly
Cons -
- A little light leakage under the nose section but not too bad and, again, less than the regular type
Misc -
* Included earplugs are nothing special
* Carrying bag with drawstring is a nice addition
These are so good, I bought a second pair for my daughter to use in her college dorm.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: Very Comfortable Mask
Summary: 5 Stars
This mask is an amazingly comfortable mask. I bought it to use incase my roommate stays up later than I do but I now use it almost every night. It helps me fall asleep better and helps me wake up easier. When you wear it, it is like you aren't wearing it. The biggest problem for me is that it sometimes hurts my ear but then I just put the straps over my ears instead of behind them, and then it's perfectly fine. I would recommend this to everyone and anyone; even people who don't think they need one.
Also, it especially helps when you are having difficulty falling asleep. Whenever I have to go to bed earlier than my body wants to, I put this mask on and I fall asleep before I know it. Without it, it would probably take me over an hour to fall asleep in that situation.
Customer Review: Time reveals a flaw...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this almost six months ago and was very happy with it for about three months. It blocks the light almost completely (a little creeps in on each side of my nose as I have a rather sharp nose -- if yours is not quite so sharp this mask will likely block the light completely), doesn't impede your eyelids/lashes during REM sleep, and is soft and lightweight. I would have easily given this product five stars if I would have rated it within the first three months of use.
However, the bottom edge, particularly near the nose, has frayed revealing two layers of fabric surrounding one of foam. Also, the band has lost most of its elasticity and no longer holds the mask tightly enough against my face.
It doesn't look like it's going to last much longer.
