Fair warning this is going to be a long review. This is an honest review from a normal human, just trying to block out the light while sleeping.I have always been someone who has very specific sleep requirements: dark room, white noise, light sleeper. I hadn’t previously considered using an eye mask because while I am Neurotypical, the thought of having some thing on my face did not sound appealing to me. The reason I bought this mask was for a camping festival. I knew that I would need something to block out the light from the early morning sun. I actually bought this about two months before the trip to “train“ myself using it.I love that this mask is adjustable and that you can move the eyesockets as well to really fit to your face. Now I’m going to be honest ... MoreFair warning this is going to be a long review.

The reason I bought this mask was for a camping festival. I knew that I would need something to block out the light from the early morning sun. I actually bought this about two months before the trip to “train“ myself using it.I love that this mask is adjustable and that you can move the eyesockets as well to really fit to your face. Now I’m going to be honest here, the first 2-3 nights of using this mask were awful. I did not like how it felt on my face, and it felt very hard and uncomfortable. I woke up a few times and had pushed it up or taken it off. I also felt like it was making my jaw sore. However, I told myself I would use it for a week and then decide whether to return it. Each night felt better and more normal on my face. At this point it actually feels very secure and kind of is almost like a signal to my body to go to sleep. It definitely blocks out 99% of light and actually helps me fall asleep much quicker because my partner in bed likes to fall asleep to watching videos (on silent but that brightness has always bothered me) and I wish that I had bought something like this years ago.Now I wear it every night and I know it has vastly improved my sleep. It absolutely helped me at the camping festival this past weekend that I originally bought it for.It has become less firm through wearing it and I have washed it twice in the carrying case and it’s still truly a game changer. I have recommended it to several friends at this point and a coworker of mine got it and loved it.This is a genuine review and I hope it works for you!! Happy sleeping :)

I slept like a rock first week I had this. I have blackout curtains in my bedroom already, but they weren’t quite blocking all the light. Enter the Manta (basic) Sleep Mask, with its comfortable velour adjustable headband, extra cushy Velcro-fastening foam eye cups covered in soft, comfy, breathable jersey fabric, and the best, most uninterrupted sleep I’ve had in years. Where has this mask been all my life, lol?The only thing is, I hope I can put it in the washing machine without it falling apart. I would really hate that. But for now, I love it to death!They make fancier ones, but I didn’t buy one of those. I just got the basic one for $35. It was money well spent! Do yourself a favor and try one of these as soon as possible!

I bought this mask for my mother as a Christmas gift because she was complaining that too much light streams into her room through her curtains in the mornings. I tried the standard Manta sleep mask I had bought her, and she and I absolutely love how you can move the eye cups around, and the Velcro to fit the mask strap around your head. I've not purchased my own mask because a lot of light shines through my blinds in the mornings and I'm really looking forward to using my own mask. I'm very happy with the purchase.Pros of mask:- You have absolute light block out- You can adjust the eye cups to fit around your eyes so that no light enters the eye cups- Very good Velcro on strap to adjust to liking and comfort- Mask came with a mesh case that includes blue foam ... MoreI bought this mask for my mother as a Christmas gift because she was complaining that too much light streams into her room through her curtains in the mornings.

The mesh case is what you can use to wash your Manta sleep mask in the washing machine safelyCons of mask:- The mask can be uncomfortable if you make the Velcro strap too tight- If you don't adjust the eye cups to cover your eyes properly, then you may not get 100% light block out- If you want to sleep with false eyelashes, this mask might bend some of your lashes
