Nidra Contoured Sleep Mask - Black, Standard Size | Eye Mask for Sleep, Zero Pressure Fit, 100% Light Blocking & Travel - For All Sleeper Types

My husband wanted a face mask to block out sunlight when traveling, seems to work very well. It is a bit bulky but definitely keeps out the light. Strap is comfortable and easy to adjust.

My sleep doctor recommends it. I have not just the three kinds of insomnia: can't fall asleep, stay asleep or get back to sleep but also a serious circadian rhythm problem: my internal clock is jiggered back about 5 hours so when others are getting sleepy, I'm rarin' to go. I've been seeing a sleep specialist for months. One of the first things she bade me do was darken our bedroom pitch black. Well...our windows face east and south and it would have take a lot to do that; plus, what are you going to do during the day? Hubby lit on wearing a sleep mask which I was hesitant to try because I don't like my face to feel bound. I also doubted a mask could truly block out all light.I'm delighted to say that this mask meets my needs perfectly.It's soft and comfortable. Sometimes I have to be careful not to lay with my face sideways or it'll push it out of place slightly. But I've learned--even in my sleep--to roll over slowly and it stays put. The BEST thing is: I put it on, the room is perfectly dark and I can still open and close my eyes!! So it doesn't mash down my eyelids which I would hate. It's large enough to fit around my eyes perfectly and the elastic band, which has velcro adjustment, keeps it on. I will admit that sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and find that it fell around my neck or off my head in the night...but that's after I've had a good night's sleep.If I have to get up in the night, I forget I'm wearing it. Highly recommended.

This is a product you don't even know you need until you try it and realize your sleep quality improves dramatically. I used to sleep face down until spinal issue forced me to sleep on my back. I hated the way my eyes tended to open more facing up and the greater amount of light you perceive in this position. Having the Nidra on totally blocks out all light and makes it much easier for your eyes to close naturally and/or not register any light if they do float open at times. It is also very comfortable in particular in the way it is shaped (domed out) so that the inner lining does not touch your eyes at all. This is very important and if you've ever tried to use a mask that rest flat on your face, and were irritated by it, you will be very pleased with this difference.I have only one small beef with the mask, and that may be an issue that pertains to me only, in that I tend to sweat at night more than most people might. I have had a couple of these masks and in each case the inner lining eventually starts to separate from the outer shell which causes a flap of fabric to bunch up inside the eye-piece of the mask. This can be addressed by smoothing the flap down and then placing the mask back on firmly but it is a bit annoying. I believe this may be related to my getting the mask sweaty more frequently than it is probably intended to endure but it would seem a good idea for the company to look at ways to strengthen the attachment between the lining and shell at the bottom of each eye-cup. I believe it is glued on and perhaps a very fine stitch would add the extra strength it needs to withstand moisture and extra heat. Otherwise, this is a very effective and inexpensive aid to much deeper quality sleep!

I know this makes me a silly person, but I own 5 sleep masks. One for each travel bag, one for my carryon, and one in each of my two regular residences.HOWEVER. My experience with sleep masks is to your benefit. This sleep mask is, hands down, the best I've ever experienced.Will you look ridiculous in it? Absolutely. But you'll sleep so incredibly well, you won't care. Nor will your loved ones, if they see you in it.This sleep mask actually fits around your nose, no sh*t, which is the most exciting and revolutionary aspect of a sleep mask I've ever seen. It genuinely won't let in light, even if you curl up on one side and sleep with your face half smashed into a pillow. The darkness is yours to sleep in! As long as you like! Rejoice, my friends.Also, this sleep mask is gently shaped so that if you DO wake up in the middle of the night, you can blink without getting material caught in your eyes. Some bona fide genius made it so that you can open your eyes under this mask. Without self-injury. Brilliant. So you don't need to remember that you've got a sleep mask on when you're groggy and waking up. You don't have to tear it off immediately in order to open your eyes. You can come back to the world gradually, and the world is a better place for it.Seriously, buy this sleep mask. I'm terrified that mine may wear out after a few years, and it won't be available anymore because not enough people kept the company in business. It's not showing any wear and tear yet, but nothing lasts forever.In fact, maybe I should buy several more now, just in case. My life will be better for it. You should also buy some, though. This sleep mask really IS all that.

I won't disagree with the reviews that say that the mask is comfortable to wear. It is comfortable. I wore this once, and it was comfortable. But when I looked in the mirror in the morning, I had black dye from the mask, around my eyes and eye sockets. "Oh, okay, well, I'll just remove the dye," I thought. I first grabbed my excellent Lancome eye makeup remover, which usually removes everything (waterproof makeup etc); it could not remove the black dye. So then I got some Dove soap (unscented, with no dyes, because I was going to be using it around the eye area). Dove soap would not work to remove any of the black dye. I tried a couple of other cleansers, and none of them could completely remove the dye. So I showered, and soaped up the face more, and did some scrubbing. Some of the dye came off, and some remained around the eye socket. By the end of the day, the dye seemed to be coming off. Anyway, I didn't want to wear the mask a second time, due to this issue. As I look at the mask, it seems cheap; for the price, the materials seem cheap. Hopefully the manufacturers will make some improvements.

The first time I tried this mask, I found it too uncomfortable to use sleeping on my back because the double layer of Velcro on the strap was positioned to lie exactly under the back my head. I felt like I was trying to sleep with a twig under my head. I took a seam-ripper to the Velcro and changed the strap so that the Velcro was now on the right side.However, I still didn't like how the mask was too large for my face, and leaked light unless I made the strap so tight it felt uncomfortable and left marks on my nose.Nidra had sent me an email asking that I contact them if I had any problems (problems that might lead to a less-than-5-star-review). So I did, and I told them my issues.They advised me that after wearing the mask for awhile, it would mold more to my face and not feel so tight. They also offered to give me a full refund if I didn't get comfortable using it. (Hence the 5 stars instead of 4 stars. I always add another star for good custom service.)They were right. After wearing it a few times it fit much better. I can now wear it comfortably and get total black-out. And I really put it to the test because my city replaced the streetlight that shines right in my bedroom window with superb bright LED lights. It's like trying to sleep in front of an SUV's high beams.I wish they would give people a choice about where the Velcro would be on the strap. But it didn't take long to adjust it, and it does the job.

I don't usually bother writing reviews but I felt compelled for this mask since it has far exceeded my expectations. I'm a side/stomach sleeper so most masks come off very quickly when I sleep. I also need a pitch dark room in order to sleep without waking up throughout the night, a single blue light can disturb my slumber. I've been repeatedly woken up by the blinking light on the smoke detector in my room...a sticker over the light has helped. So I learned about this mask and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! This mask is not only very comfortable, but it also stays on my face most of the night, although it does still slip off by morning about half the time (I'm a very restless sleeper). The best thing is that it blocks out almost everything!! If you position it just right and have a neutral face is should fit exactly to your face and block out everything, but I've found that in reality with my face mushed against my pillow that a teensy bit of light makes it through the bottom part, generally in the nose area. However it is a very small amount that gets through in a brightly lit room, so in practice when in bed with the lights off and my eyes closed, it is not a problem. I've had some of the best sleep in my current setup while using this mask. It's the best purchase I've made in awhile!

I bought the old version about a year ago to replaced a cheap sleep mask that I had been using to see if I liked them. I decided to get one of these since the reviews were glowing everywhere and it had several features that I was looking for. I have been extremely pleased with the mask for the last year and was looking to replace it with a new one due to the elastic starting to be too stretched out.I received my mask and was immediately disappointed. The box was cover in filth and looked to have been stepped on, which is Amazon's fault not the manufacturer. Upon opening it I immediately came to realize that this is not at all the same mask I got a year ago.The mask part is about 10-15 percent smaller than the old one, which for my face means that there is a high likelihood of light leaking in. It is a subtle change and if I didn't have my old mask here to see it I probably wouldn't notice. The bigger issue is they completely changed the strap. Gone is the elastic and velcro which was a godsend for me and replaced with an odd feeling almost plush strap and a metal adjustment buckle. The strap feels odd in a bad way and uncomfortable to touch, I can't even imagine wearing it all night. The bigger issue personally is the metal buckle. On my previous cheap mask it would dig into my head at night and feel very uncomfortable. As the elastic stretched out and I had to adjust it this just became worse.Needless to say this mask does not at all have the features I am needing in a sleep mask anymore. I am going to be returning it for a refund.

I have been using this on planes to sleep and it effectively blocks out light and is easy on the eyes as it does not press on them at all.

This product does not look like the photo. The mask is thin without any contour for the nose as shown in the actual Nidra mask without any logo on the strap. Very flimsy strap. This is not a luxury mask or even a branded product shown in the Amazon website. Very disappointed. Have requested for return and refund

Product was received was genuine. It is as described - comfortable and stays on all night. Had to adjust it the first couple of nights as there was some light that came through the nose bridge. But managed to adjust it so that no light came through.

Item wasn't suitable and a return is not possible, even though this is not stated anywhere! Be very very careful of buying this!

Good construction and quality materials. The fact that it protrudes from the face make it slightly uncomfortable when one sleeps on the side. Blocks all light. A bit overkill for the purpose.
