Manta Pro Sleep Mask - 100% Light Blocking Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers, Breathable and Comfortable, Spacious & Zero Pressure for Long Lashes, Perfect for Sleep/Travel/Nap/Shift Work

I've tried a few sleep masks after I started using them a couple years ago. After using mine for about a week I can say that the Manta Pro stands out head and shoulders above the rest.Yes, it's expensive. But it does make a compelling case. I was used to finding my sleep masks on the floor somewhere when I wake up. I'm not sure if they loosen up and slide off on their own or if I somehow manage to take them off while sleeping. That hasn't happened with the Manta. The strong, infinitely adjustable velcro combined with the gel "squiggle" on the inside of the strap means it stays put all night long even if I move about.The adjustable eye cups are also fantastic. I find that I usually get the most light leakage around my nose, so having two separate eye cups with the ability to space them exactly as necessary and leave a gap for the nose makes the mask more effective and increases its comfort. It took a couple adjustments to get them just so, but once they're where you need them you don't have to think about it again.Perhaps most importantly, it really does deliver on the promise of 100% blackout. Sleeping on my back, my side, or my stomach - no light gets in. One morning I managed to bump a wireless light switch on my headboard reaching for my phone to silence my alarm and turned the lights on to a full brightness setting. I went back to sleep and didn't even know the lights were on until I woke up again and took the mask off to look at the clock.Finally, the Manta Pro is extremely comfortable. It's never felt heavy, or hot, or uncomfortable in the slightest. The tapered eye cups keep it from feeling bulky if you turn your head to the side. Again, it might take you a couple tries to get the right balance of comfy and secure when putting it on, but once you're there you'll be golden.Overall, just a very well thought out and executed eye mask. If good sleep is important to you, the Manta Pro is worth a look.

Upgraded from the standard mask, was skeptical if the added price was worth it, and it absolutely is! The eye cups are snug and comfortable the band almost eliminates slip offs during the night and the material is nice and cool. These are a must and have helped me sleep much better, blocking out ambient light and night owl TV watching.

One of my major issues with cheaper sleep masks I’ve tried is there’s always issues with fit, and a lot of them would slip off while sleeping, so if you get up to use the restroom or when you wake up you have to try and locate it.While this one has slipped off, it’s much rarer than with others. The cups also do a great job blocking light and it’s easy to properly adjust with its Velcro backing and has soft edges where the mask rests on your temples, preventing pressure there that other masks with elastic bands had issues with , making sleep difficult due to that pressure.Overall, I am more than happy with my purchase and will never use another sleep mask

I've used this mask a few times so far and my initial thoughts are mostly positive. The eye cups and head strap are very comfortable compared to other similar-styled masks, and the strap going above the ears instead of on or below them is exactly what I was looking for. The breathability is second to none. I sleep with a low-power fan on and this mask allows my eyes to feel the breeze from said fan which is impressive. The materials used are also very effective at blocking light, unlike most cheaper masks that, even with a perfect seal, allow light through the front of the mask in intensely lit areas.That all being said, I do have some not-quite-positive feedback. The eye cups' adjustability, despite being "infinitely adjustable" is very difficult to dail in. It is very difficult to make fine adjustments because the cups adhere to the mask using a very small amount of velcro. This means there's no real way to adjust the cups' positions without completely removing the cups and placing them back on the mask which I found was very difficult to do while maintaining the same relative position and rotation of where the cup was last adhered. It is also difficult to get an equal-distant spacing from the middle of the mask on each cup. It takes a lot of time and tedium to get the adjustment just right. Thankfully once you find the perfect fit, you don't have to deal with the adjustments again.There is also the issue with the cups not making a complete seal. In my experience, it doesn't provide 100% blackout while lying on the side of my head. There is always a sliver of light finding its way in around the bridge of my nose and no amount of adjusting the cups or fiddling with mask tightness seems to fix that issue. It is possible to get a complete blackout while lying on your side, but a slight movement breaks the seal again. This is however only a minor inconvenience as this mask, with the combination of simply closing your eyes, provides a complete blackout in even intensely lit areas.Changes/improvements I'd like to see made to this product include:-offering aftermarket eye cups that are perhaps a bit bigger or have thicker cushions to help people whose eyes are sunk in a bit more than most (such as myself) get a better seal.-the addition of high contrast line guides (printed or stitched) on the portion of the mask the eye cups are meant to adhere to. This would offer a frame of reference for previous positions while also offering an easier way to achieve consistent spacing on both the X and Y axes between each cup and the middle of the mask.Overall this mask is not perfect, but it is still the best sleep mask I've tried. I'm very particular about what I look for in a sleep mask and this is the mask that has come the closest to ticking all the boxes by far. I would say this is worth the purchase if you're also someone who struggles to sleep in anything other than pitched black. If you're someone who can handle a little bit of light while sleeping, there are cheaper, similar options out there that would likely do the job for you just fine. If I could give this product a 4.5 star rating, I would.Some side notes, the inclusion of earplugs as an accessory feels unnecessary but the cleaning bag is a very cool inclusion. The mask being machine washable without ruining your adjustments thanks to the bag is very handy.I will update this review in a few months after I've put some wear into the mask for better or worse.

My husband and I both have this sleep mask and I don't think we'll ever go back! Both of us are side sleepers and it's literally perfect. The tapered eye cups are a game changer. We don't feel forced to sleep on our backs with this mask on. And the fact that the eye cups are adjustable means it's a perfect fit every night! It's lightweight enough not to cause sweating but heavy enough to actually function as a mask and stay in place. The breathable strap is the most ingenious feature I've ever seen in a sleep mask.15/10, highly recommend! If you're looking for a sleep mask and you don't get the Manta, you're doing yourself a disservice.
