Sleep mask recommendations?

8 replies

DH is grumbling about our bedroom being 'too light' for him to sleep. Also the single pea under the mattress must be keeping him awake. Does anyone have a recommendation for a sleep mask that doesn't strangle you by 2am? Nice natural material ideally?

(I know there are hundreds on Amazon but the reviews/ratings are so questionable these days...)

Can you not try blackout curtains or blinds

I had the same problem with light in the early morning. Is he a side or back sleeper? It does make a difference when buying a mask. I am a side sleeper so I ordered this "Unimi 2021 Upgraded Sleep Mask, Perfect Sleeping Mask for Side Sleepers, 3D Ultra Soft Skin-Friendly Eye Masks for Sleeping Women Men Kids with Adjustable Strap, Blindfold for Travel/Sleep/Nap" from Amazon. I was unsure at first whether it would work/be uncomfortable but it's fine. Took a couple of nights to get used to it but I hardly know it's on now - and it's very dark - just a smidge where the nose bridge is. Hope this helps.

I've got a Unimi too. It very soft and I can open my eyes when wearing it. Adjustable strap. Works well for me

I’ve got one of the whole head Unimis too. Find it much better than a traditional one as it doesn’t run behind my ears

I have a silk one I got from Amazon. I'll see if I can find it in my history.

Thank you, that's really helpful! I've got a Unimi in my basket now (worryingly, Amazon reminded me of three crap sleepmasks I've bought previously, one of which seems to have 3k+ glowing reviews...)

here not a complete black out mask, as in not shaped around the nose, but I like it.

chose a two-strap mask, lightweight silk material does help.
