7/26/2023 0 Comments Manta sleep mask![]() When I tried the mask at home, I was able to adjust the eye pieces just right to get a good night of sleep, though it took a few test runs. The Experience: I had trouble getting the mask to adjust properly to my face on a long flight. It's soft and lightweight (covered in 100% cotton) and can be easily stashed in your carry-on. It has circular, customizable eyepieces and the adjustable strap has soft elastic with velcro and even gel pads for zero slip. The Look and Feel: Wearers will look a bit alien-like or bug-eyed. It also, unlike the Gravity mask, promises that the memory foam eyepieces are "weightless" and won't put any pressure on the eyelids or face. The Manta mask guarantees 100% blackout and claims to fit every face, as the mask's adjustable, hollow eye covers can be shifted around. As I often fly economy and travel light, I knew this mask wasn't for me.īest For: Business class flyers, or people who sleep on their back.ĭon't Use: If you're hoping to travel light or need to sleep upright (like in economy). I found that it weighed me down and sagged, which was more annoying than relaxing. However, if you're a side sleeper, it falls to one side and pulls your neck down, which isn't comfortable. The mask was soft, completely blocked out the light and the weight was indeed comforting. The Experience: I tested the sleep mask both at home as well as on an overnight flight in economy from New York to Madrid. You may find it weighs down your carry-on. The silky interior and fleece exterior are cozy, but it's very heavy. The Look and Feel: Gray and bulky, but a bit luxurious, the Gravity sleep mask has an adjustable strap and clip. It claims to help wearers relax and fall into a deeper sleep, faster than ever. ![]() The Gravity mask uses its weight (one pound) to lightly press on key pressure points. ![]() Maybe.ĭon't Use: If you're sensitive to smells and perfumes, or need to block 100% of the light. If you love a strong lavender scent, you could make this work. (It does ride up less if you're sitting upright.) Having to constantly pull it down was annoying, and I wouldn't use this mask again.īest For: Anyone anxious who uses aromatherapy to relax or fall asleep. The pillowed under eye portion, though soft, pushed the mask upwards, letting light in and making the mask move around a lot, so I ended up just taking it off. Although I love the smell of lavender, I found it to be overwhelming after a few minutes, and had to remove the sachet, which defeats the purpose of this particular mask. My Experience: I used the mask to nap at home and later on a long train ride from Madrid to Barcelona. A long, thick pillowed portion supports and protects the under eye area. It's also stiff, and the mask isn't foldable when the lavender sachet is inserted, but it does lie flat. ![]() The pocket is unobtrusive and the mask seems more firm than some rivals. The Look and Feel: Red or purple satin linen lined with black trim, the sleep mask looks chic. You can also use the mask without the sachet, or swap it for a different scent. ![]() This eye mask has a pocket in the front where you can slip in a fragrant sachet, as well as a soft, adjustable strap with velcro and hooks. ![]()
