PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Dreamer is Dream Essentials' signature sleep mask, cushioned and contoured to block light and air effectively. Compared to the more barebones Silhouette, it is larger and more thickly padded to block light (and more importantly for us, airflow) more effectively. Other enhancements include a silky front side and the "Comfort Snug" which is a more advanced and very comfy sort of strap. Cushioned and contoured, it blocks light and air effectively.

REBECCA’S REVIEW

This is a large, wide, thickly padded and extremely comfortable mask. The pad that extends along the lower seam is quite a lot thicker and perhaps an inch and a half longer than the Silhouette. 

The strap on this mask is the best of any night eyewear I've come across. Those designing night eyewear have to meet two key needs which are at odds with each other: keeping the mask securely in place, and keeping it comfortable. (And not messing up our hair too much, if possible!) And of course user preferences are all over the map. While some masks have velcro and/or elastic straps and some have stretchy fabric wraps, the Dreamer has a stretchy fabric wrap - rather like the Tranquileyes wrap BUT with a velcro adjustable end, so it's comfortable but still has a way to adjust it snugly.

The eye side of the Dreamer is soft cotton knit, comfortable without shedding. Personally, I have found that this style of sleep mask can help me keep my lids closed if I hitch it up a bit so that part of the bridge just rests lightly on the lowest part of my top lids. (However, please don't take that as a recommendation for a way to keep lids closed... there are other more appropriate products for that, and if you need any help finding them don't hesitate to call.)

I think the Dreamer is an excellent choice for people who for whatever reason can't use Tranquileyes or who want a low-hassle alternative for home or travel.

On the rare occasion that I get a complaint about this mask, it is virtually always related to size. It's quite wide and some women with very small faces will not like it.
