Contoured Blackout Sleep Mask with Nose Seal

Almost every sleep mask leaks light in the same place: the little triangle either side of your nose. The fabric bridges the gap instead of following it, and you end up with two thin wedges of daylight aimed straight up at your eyes. This mask is cut differently. The bottom edge is moulded as a single piece shaped to the nose rather than assembled from a separate flap, so there is no join to gape open when you turn your head. Combined with the deep cups over the eyes, it is the difference between a mask that dims the room and one that closes it. The cups themselves are properly hollow, not just padded. Your lashes do not touch anything and you can open your eyes underneath, which matters if you wear a mask for hours rather than minutes. The strap is a wide flat band rather than a thin cord, with a slide buckle to size it — it spreads the pressure instead of leaving a line across your temples, and it does not tangle into your hair the way a rope elastic does. It measures 9.8 by 4.1 inches, which covers an adult face comfortably with the band adjusted. One care note worth reading before it arrives: hand wash only. Do not put this in the washing machine — the drum will crush the moulded cups and they do not spring back. Do not iron it, keep it out of direct sun, and lay it flat to dry. Because it sits directly against your eyes, we cannot accept it back once it has been used. Unopened, it returns within 30 days like anything else.
