Sleep and Naps Are So Important: I like the straps because they go around your ear not around your whole head. It helps a lot because I am prone to headaches. I used this in the hospital and in bed, on the couch, etc. since we just had our first child. Sleep and naps are so important. These eye masks help a lot, especially so I don't wake up unnecessarily when my partner feeds/changes the baby in the middle of the night. Good Partner in Your Life: I sleep so much better now. It really does help you get to sleep. It also stays on with the ear loops and they don't bother you side sleeping like what I do. Recommended for anyone that just wants to sleep in or work the night shift and sleep in the day. Material and Blackout: This is absolutely the best sleep mask I've ever used. It is well made with the softest material. This one is such a smooth and silky feeling material that doesn't bother your eyes. The mask is very good at keeping the light out, even on very sunny days. And most importantly it is so comfortable to wear. Two Sided Fabric Design: There's a cold side and warm side, a cool side for summer and a warm side for winter. I loved using the warm side this December when on vacation. Innovative Ear Straps Design: The design of having ear straps instead of a strap going behind your head is great. So there is not a strap grinding on your pillow while you're sleeping. The material above your eyes is also very soft.
