Fishers Finery 25 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask| Prevents Wrinkles | Travel Mask (Black)

I’ve been using the same black eye mask to sleep for over ten years. I purchase from Amazon and have been very happy. Not until I purchased the pillow cases-which I’ll leave a Five Star review on another post, did I realize how mediocre of be settling for. This mask is so soft and thick and created no pressure on the eyes what’s so ever. I like how they cover from the forehead down to the eyes vs. just covering eyebrows to eye socket bone. The two prong strap around your head I was really on the fence, but boy this is truly why/where this works. No more sideways, down around my mouth, or completely fallen off. The packaging appears to be very high end, (think boutique) with complete washing instructions. I was so happy, I bought a second one and will pass this information on to my sisters, and friends as they are nurses who have a hard time falling asleep, and staying asleep. No more melatonin, or black out shades, drapes and scotch tape to keep an inkling of light out. I’m an RN, wife, mom, and grandmother. And this is NOT a paid review. I want you to be happy like I am.

I bought this for my wife as she is very sensitive to light in the bedroom. She loved it from the minute she placed it over her eyes and lay down in bed. The silky inside makes it very comfortable. The little rolled up "pillow" at the bottom of the eye mask does not let a single ray of light enter and the head straps adjust so gently she's hardly aware they are in place.She says that they eye mask has given her the best sleeps of her life!

! I am a repeat purchaser. I'm a huge Fishers Finery Fan, having purchased not only this mask but several pillowcases as well. Purchased another brand which was 22 Momme Silk but was single sided silk fabric, the reverse side was rough... wasted $$. I put the mask in a lingerie bag to machine wash, and hang to dry. I rotate and wash them regularly and have experienced no wear in fabric. I also have one reserved in my suitcase for travel. I always order black... in my mind it's more light blocking. The silk covered elastic back strap is comfortable and easy on hair... some masks have velcro which ultimately pulls and tangles in my hair. Some have elastic bands (yuck) which are hard on hair cuticles, and others have a clip or fastener which is difficult to sleep on.

I do like the soft silk material and it keeps light out sufficiently. I don’t like that this mask goes all the way to my hairline which makes forehead sweat and break out. I also don’t care for the adjustable part of the band as I can feel the plastic against the back of my head at times. I had the previous version of this mask and it was narrower on my face which I liked but the elastic band stretched out after a year. I’ll wear it but also keep looking for one a little smaller.

It is very soft and for the price pretty good quality. It is a little big for my head and it doesn't block the light as well as I wanted it to. I work nights and sleep during the day so I would have liked a little more light blocking, but for the price and how soft and comfortable it is I can't really complain. I would recommend this for someone with a head on the slightly larger size, it might fit a man better. I recommend it for traveling or sleeping in a room already pretty dark (curtains drawn and lights and electronics and TVs off) with just a little bit of light
