Great review, thank you. I've ordered the new version of the Alaska Bear. I've never worn a sleep mask before but I sleep on my side and stomach and the Alaska Bear seems like a more minimal mask in terms of padding around the face that would tend to keep me awake. Thank you for your time in putting this review together.🙂

I have the Manta sleep mask and love it. I'm a side sleeper and don't have any issues. I noticed your eye "cups" are further apart than I need; that may have caused the light and lumpy issues you experienced. Great video thx!

Thanks! Glad you liked the video. I don't know - I gave it to my partner to try and she thought the same. She is much smaller than me, and had the cups further in to suit her face. Maybe it's your pillow that makes it work for you, or you have more tolerance for the material. Good to know it can work that well for some side sleepers though!

and also, does the cold thing actually make sleeping more relaxing? if so, whats the best mask for back sleepers thats cold
@nosleeplessnights1
17 күн бұрын
Any of them are fine for back sleepers I think. One thing to keep in mind is how bulky the strap is at the back, and if you think that might press into your head. As for the cold concept, I think it's more a case of just feeling relaxing before you fall asleep. They don't stay cool all night anyway because your body heat and room temperature warm them up. My partner sleeps on her back and absolutely loves the Imak. She says the material itself feels cooler than the Barmy, even when it hasn't been cooled. The strap is much thinner too, so does't press into her head as much.

Still on the search, using atm the "SMUG" model, found in TKMAXX for £4, in case it helps to anyone. Thank you again 😊

You're welcome! I agree that the two issues you mentioned are common ones, and difficult to get around. I was thinking the other day that if you just want a daytime nap and are happy to lie on you back, you could probably get a good result from just buying a length of opaque silk, or other material you like, and simply draping it over your eyes. No lump on the back of your head, and you can shape the material over your eyes and the bridge of your nose how you like. Then you just have to lie completely still for the duration of your nap! But for longer sleeps, or other positions, it's back to trying to find the most comfortable sleep mask for the job...

Good question, but none of them are good for noise blocking really. For that, you're better off with separate earplugs, headphones, a white noise machine, or some other form of sound insulation in the room. For light, as I said in the review it depends what style suits you best.

The Alaska Bear or Mavogel maybe. The Alaska Bear, being flat and silk, will be right over your eyes. The Mavogel has some light contouring, but still sits quite close. The trick is to balance how tight you tie the strap with the style you like so as not to create too much pressure. That might also be an issue you had with the Manta?

Not in terms of effectiveness, no. I think you can just pick the one you think is most likely to suit you. I'd avoid the weighted ones though as they need you to be horizontal otherwise they'll slide down your face and put too much pressure on your nose. And perhaps choose one with a thinner strap so you don't feel the lump in the back of your head.

You're right, there are a few versions and they make changes periodically, which makes it tricky to keep up. Sometimes it's the same mask, but they tweak the name, description or photos slightly. Currently, they still sell the one I reviewed in this video and I still recommend it. If you prefer a contoured design, you could give one of those ones a go too. I haven't tried the latest ones I can see on their store now, but I imagine they are pretty good quality. The issue, as always, is not being able to predict in advance whether they will suit your facial features.
