It's gentle weight but some eyeballs may be more sensitive than others
I am that person that cannot sleep if there is one speck of light in my room. I bought this for a trip as I didn't know if the VRBO homes we were staying at would have room darkening panels. I definitely needed this for house number 2. Pluses: -It's super soft, even with the weighted filler (that you can move around to adjust where the weight goes) -It has an adjustable strap; it's not one size fits all -The lavender scent is very refreshing and calming -It made everything DARK -It was surprisingly comfortable to wear in 90+ degree weather and 100% humidity. I didn't sweat under it; it appeared pretty breathable (the VRBO had NO A/C) The not so great: Take note: I am not used to sleeping with anything on my face as I live in the middle of nowhere; a mask is not necessary at home. I love my weighted blanket, so I figured I'd enjoy a weighted eye mask. My eyeballs do not feel the same way. It wasn't painful uncomfortable but more like a bit of gentle pressure that mildy reminded me of sinus pressure but on my eyes instead of behind them (and if you're a chronic sinus sufferer, you know what I'm talking about). It wasn't enough to offput me from falling asleep as I could adjust where the weight was in my mask and was successful every night at bedtime to get it in just the right place but due to the fact I perform acrobatics in my sleep, the weight would move and may have added to my restlessness and thusly, the mask moving around (forehead, chin and floor). I did not keep it tight because my eyes didn't like the weighted pressure fully on them. Yet, it wasn't super loose either, I have to use my hand to actually move it (I'm certain my hair helped wiggle the mask about; thankfully it never got caught up in my long hair - another plus). Overall, I don't think there is anything wrong with the product. It was comfortable to put on, adjust and actually fall asleep in. I just think since I'm not used to it and my eyes didn't care for the pressure and I'm a samurai in my sleep (and it was HOT in the room), it just made for a difficult night. Read more
