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 worked night shift on and off throughout my career, and I'm currently on again. This time around, I've been sleeping terribly. I figured it was time to give a sleep mask a try. I was initially skeptical about the Manta Pro simply from a cost standpoint. The price seemed a bit steep compared to the plethora of options, but I looked at this as an investment. Buy once, cry once, right? I'm glad I did. I've been using this for about a week now, and I'm sleeping better than I did before. It took a few times test fitting the eye cups so that I didn't get any light peeking through, but once I dialed it in, it works great. The mask is super breathable. I sleep with a fan on and can feel a little bit of air going through the mask, yet it truly is 100% blackout. I've found that it stays in position and doesn't slide around when I move. I'm strictly a side sleeper, and this mask is super comfortable. My quality of sleep has dramatically improved, even on the days where my body says "it's time to get up" after only 3 or 4 hours. I'm not waking up multiple times a night. I feel more rested when I do wake up. I'm falling asleep faster than before, and (usually) sleeping for longer. I think this is a great option for anyone looking for a sleep mask, but especially for anyone who works night shift. Do yourself a favor and get one. The benefits certainly outweigh the cost!

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.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and during the summer the sun rises very early and sets late. Plus my wife watches videos on her iPad at night (with headphones) which further illuminates the bedroom. This mask gives 99%+ darkness. It's super comfortable to wear. Has lots of little ways to adjust it so that it's a perfect fit. It doesn't get hot. And as a side sleeper is super comfortable even when laying on either side. Plus it stays in place throughout the night. I would highly recommend.

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.

This was one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I tried it. Omg! I have larger eyes so other popular sleep masks would leave my eyes blurred like they were fully dilated. This is the first mask I’ve seen that has deep pockets around the eye sockets that never touch my eyelid. Now that I’m in peri, a good night’s sleep is hard to come by but this mask has been life changing. It only took me about 2 nights before I got comfortable with total darkness and it’s really helped me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It totally blocks out light (even for those daytime naps) without being too tight across your face (strap is adjustable). I got the less expensive one first but sprung for the side sleeper that’s more expensive but totally worth it (I can tell the difference between the mask for back and stomach sleepers and the one for side sleepers). If you struggle to stay asleep and haven’t had success with other masks, try this one and you won’t be disappointed.

The comfort was good and I can see it being a great product since my sleep is horrible but the velcro is horrible. It felt strong at first and just within 1.5 weeks, it falls off constantly. Disappointed for how much money it was.

I’ve owned the Manta Sleep Mask for about a year and use it every night. I’m a big fan of the design—the adjustable eye cups are comfortable, the blackout performance is excellent, and the materials feel incredibly soft. It’s one of the few sleep masks I’ve genuinely enjoyed using. My only disappointment is the durability. The product is advertised as machine washable, but after a single standard machine wash (following the care instructions), the inner fabric of the eye cups came loose and now brushes against my eyes and eyelashes. This takes away the floating, pressure-free feel that was the main reason I chose this mask and paid a premium for it. I still think it’s an excellent design, but the build quality didn’t hold up to normal care in my experience. I hope this was an isolated manufacturing issue because I’d love to continue using the product. As it stands, I can’t confidently recommend it unless the durability is improved.

Review written after nightly use for seven months of continuous use. Can’t say more than it already well established in the reviews. However, will add my comments that this is by for the best sleep mask I have ever used: highest quality, best fit (easy to change), no issues. Have no issues with heat retention. As for being stretchy, it is not; however, that is a feature and not a bug: you want a mask that will keep its diameter and not compress your head (like cheap masks). If you wake up at night, you will find yourself doing some minor readjusting to move it higher on your head (it will naturally migrate down while you sleep). There is some rubberized lines that increase friction against your hair/scalp to keep it in place, but if you toss and turn like myself, it will move over time. But it migrating a bit does not detract from its effectiveness - it is just an issue with having a more snug feel on your head. While the high cost is very steep in a market filled with cheap (and cheaply made) products, I still recommend that the price is worth the product. Only note is that you need to wash the detachable eye covers every few weeks. It is easy to forget that your body oils will saturate the cloth over time and it will start to irritate your skin, which is your strong reminder that you should wash your mask. Just throw them in the sink with warm water and dish soap, wash/wring them by hand, rinse, and let them dry - good as new!

So comfy and utterly blocks out light. Amazing product

Ich besitze bereits zwei "normale" Manta Schlafmasken und bin mit denen sehr zufrieden. Die sind schon so gut, dass sich die Frage auftat, ob die Manta Pro überhaupt besser sein kann? Ja und nein: Ja, sie ist nochmal besser. Wenn man sie aufsetzt wird es wirklich stockfinster und nur sehr selten verschiebt sie sich, sodass Licht durchkommt. 100% ist unmöglich, jede Schlafmaske verschiebt sich mal, aber Manta ist da schon sehr nah dran. 99% würde ich sagen. In einem eh schon dunklen Schlafzimmer wirklich perfekte Finsternis. Die Passform ist nochmal besser, vor allem in Seitenlage. Die Einstellung des Kopfbandes ist auch nochmal besser im Vergleich zum Vorgängermodell. Sehr großes Plus, ich kann freier atmen, weil sie besser an der Nase sitzt. Nein, denn sie ist nicht doppelt so gut. Die Manta Pro kostet doppelt so viel wie die bisherige Manta Schlafmaske. Die vorherige Maske ist aber bereits sehr gut, so dass die Verbesserungen keine Verdoppelung des Preises rechtfertigen. Letzten Endes kann ich mit der Pro auch nur schlafen. Die Pro ist 20% besser geworden aber der Preis hat sich verdoppelt. Deshalb ist sie was Preis/Leistung angeht schlechter geworden. Ich habe sie nur gekauft, weil ich bereits Bestandskunde bin. Als Neukunde hätte ich es nicht gewagt, so viel Geld für eine Schlafmaske auszugeben. Fazit: Luxus Schlafmaske, die bei mir keine Wünsche offen lässt, aber sie kommt auch mit einem Luxus Preis.

Seems to be some mixed opinions on this product. The only real “con” is the price. Even on sale, it is an investment. What I wished I knew early: - take some time before you go to bed to adjust the eye pieces. It will take a few shots to get it right. - if you are a side sleeper, focus on moving the eye pieces in a way that they do not press up against your head. - wear the strap high on your head, not like wearing a pair of glasses. It rubbed against my ears and they were raw in the morning. Positives: - if you fit and wear it properly, no light gets in ..: like none. - it takes a couple of nights, but you’ll forget you are wearing it quickly - it is well made … soft materials, good Velcro In general, I would say most people should buy it. Is the material and build make it worth the money? Heck no … but you will sleep better and what make it a good buy.

Have had a few of these and they are only getting better!

Cher mais très occultant et confortable.
