Alaska Bear Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask Cool Super Smooth Eye Cover Genuine Organic Silk for Sensitive Skin, Soft Filling, Lightweight Eye Shades for Sleeping (Original Black, Flat)

For our family’s Alaska trip this summer, in the Land of the Midnight Sun, we knew we would need some kind of light-blocker in order to get a decent sleep. It was really hard to tell from the photos, descriptions, and reviews, which products were actually superior, so we purchased 7 different sleep masks. After trying all of them for two weeks, we can give other buyers our comparative reviews. Listed below in rank order from our best to worst, here are the 7 masks we tried: ZGGCD • This was the first one that I tried, and it worked so great. After this one, the other masks were okay, but they were just not quite as good as this one. (except for MZOO which was very, very similar). This ZGGCD mask was priced fairly at $9.99. MZOO • Another great model. Nearly identical to the ZGGCD brand, but it has a large MZOO brand printed on the front. And it cost twice as much. (I paid $19.99) LKY • These masks came as a 3-pack for $9.99. They were an economical option that worked surprisingly well, and were not uncomfortable. These were unexpectedly much smaller than the other masks, but they really did work fine. The band seemed tight, but it was adjustable – I guess I just never adjusted it. These masks kept the light out, and the eye wells were deep enough. Two of my college kids liked them well enough that they borrowed these for another trip they are taking next month. Alaska Bear • I figured this mask was just made for the Midnight Sun! Quite a bit smaller than the extra plush masks. Not very thick either, but again to my surprise, the small masks worked just as well as the luxury models. The price for this one was on the upper end ($14.99). Zenssia • The satin looked and felt luxurious, and at the $19.99 price, it tied with MZOO for being the most expensive mask we tried. The velcro band stays secure, and did not get caught in my hair. The cloth over the ears actually felt nice. But, I can’t say this mask was nice to sleep in. If you didn’t keep the band tight, the mask sort of shifts or spins over my face as I move. And if I pulled the band tight, it seemed to put all the pressure right across my eyes. So this mask was a no-go. LitBear • At $14.39, this was on the pricier end. There is a nose bridge piece that helps block any sneaks of light, but I preferred the superior comfort of the masks that didn’t have that extra fabric bridge, over having every last peep of light obliterated. I can say the nose bridge had a nice cool feeling that I liked. But the critical problem for me was that my lashes brushed on the inside of this mask. MABAO • The mesh fabric on the outside does not speak comfort, but I realize that the outside fabric does not really rub on the skin, so it shouldn’t matter. However, the eye pockets in this one were just too shallow. I hadn’t even known that shallow eye wells could be a problem, but I am sure glad we had other masks with the deep eye wells. We bought this MABAO mask at the budget price of $5.99 I might have mentioned that I am a real mover in my sleep, and sometimes these masks fell off, but to my surprise that didn’t happen often. Many in the family are side-sleepers, and none had complaints about buckles or straps pressing into their heads. After trying these 7 masks, we felt we could offer some helpful feedback to other shoppers. My best two recommendations were ZGGCD ($9.99) as the best mask of all, and LKY which was a decent and functional mask, and there were THREE masks for the same price. Then there were the three that I just could not get comfortable with: Zennsia, LitBear, and MABAO. I wouldn’t recommend these. Happy travels everyone!

I have used a number of sleep masks and this is my favorite. Very soft, lightweight and the strap at the back of the head is adjustable. I like the little padding which is comfortable and easily blocks light. I highly recommend. I'm going to buy another.

Excellent customer service from this brand. I've been trying to find an eye mask that works while I'm sleeping with my full mask cpap, and it's been tough. I tried two of the masks from Alaska bear and while they were not compatible with my cpap, the quality was fantastic. This one was soft and very comfortable, and the one I tried before it (the one with the stars on it) was even better. If you are someone who doesn't need a full mask for their sleep apnea, your search ends here. You won't regret it. Someone from Alaska bear even reached out to me to assist me in finding a mask that works when I returned the first one. In a world with declining quality of customer service, and no one really holding businesses accountable for poor practices, Alaska Bear truly cares about the quality of their brand. Comfort: Excellent Design: Simple and effective (though I like their one with the stars more) Size: Adjustable Velcro: None Color: Silky black Why did you pick this product vs others?: The brand had many positive reviews and I now understand why.

First time trying a sleep mask. I was originally looking at more “premium” masks but ultimately decided to give Alaska Bear a shot based on its price point and material. I had tried on a friend’s mask from a different brand highly promoted on Amazon, and it was way too tight. This mask is easily adjustable and my experience from side and stomach sleeping is that it stayed in place way better than I expected. The mask itself felt light and comfortable. I would say the only negative I’ve noticed so far is that I’m not noticing any improvement on night eye dryness, but it’s not any worse. I was hoping to wake with my eyes feeling more refreshed than recently but haven’t noticed the improvement I was looking for. I have however noticed improved sleep, which I didn’t really expect, and find I am more comfortable sleeping on my back.

Thinner than I was hoping for. But still wide enough to not let light in. Comfortable and cool

I once stayed in an Airbnb that didn't have curtains and faced east, meaning that every morning I was awoken by the sun. That was the first time I realized that wearing an eye mask to bed could have its benefits. Because I travel a lot for business, I find that a good eye mask really helps me fall asleep faster, deeper, and for a longer time. I have tried a few eye masks, but this one is simply the most comfortable and durable one that I have found. Even after using it for a few months it still maintains its softness and form, although it is cheap enough to repurchase at regular intervals. If you are looking for a basic and comfortable eye mask that stays in place and gets the job done, look no further!

Updated: After a burn test and a good wash to remove the sizing (pretty much all fabric is made with sizing, hence recommendations to wash even new clothes), this is a perfectly decent sleep mask. It's a bit on the thin side for padding, but that makes it a bit more comfortable on the face. The band is made with a really soft elastic, so it's more comfortable but the band will rapidly wear out much faster than masks with slightly stronger (stiffer) elastic. All in all though, it's a good value for the current price point. Original review: Feels more like nylon than silk I'll update this after I've had it long enough to go through a few more washes if my opinion changes. That being said, the elastic is very thin and skinny, I don't expect it will be long before it gets too stretched out to properly snug down. This n is now the sixth or seventh mask I've bought, and I'm a silk fiber artist. It's the first mask that claims to be silk that doesn't feel AT ALL like silk to me. It has a very clear nylon feel against my skin, rather unpleasant. I'm probably not going to use this except in a pinch until I've managed to run it through the laundry 5 or 6 more times and hope it's just terrible fabric sizing on actual silk, and not actually nylon like it seems now. If it is nylon or a nylon blend, I won't use it.

Love this mask -- so soft and comfortable! I appreciate that it can be adjusted.

Le meilleur masque de sommeil que j'aie testé jusqu'à présent : ultra doux, d'une légèreté incroyable et parfaitement opaque : je ne pense pas pouvoir trouver mieux en termes de confort et d'efficacité !

Very nice mask! High quality, nice design. Have not used it yet, but it looks perfect! Highly recommend! Thank you!

The best I’ve tried, the eye pocket ones are great but I needed one to keep my eyes closed.

Buen producto, suave.
