I always sleep on my back & barely move, no need for strap. Without strap will mask still fit enough to the face to keep out most light? Is it soft?

Not as soft as my silken mask, but pretty comfortable. Without the strap it will leak light.

1. The straps are not removable, they are stitched to the mask. I can't imagine anyone not moving at all in their sleep, perhaps you change sides but end up on your back? Anyway, if you cut the straps the mask flares from the sides & light can get in, although it still blocks 50%.2. The molded foam that makes the shape of the mask is soft & bend-able but keeps its shape. The fabric that covers it (i.e. the blue or red or black cover) is comfortable & smooth, doesn't have any ragged feel or itch.

The strap is adjustable. It will stay on your face but will not keep the light out without the strap. It really is a very good mask. It truly is worth the price.

Yes, the mask uses a long, stretchy, very strong Velcro strap. My husband shifts positions a lot when he sleeps and has not had a hard time keeping it on his face. He also has a slightly large, round head (he's 6'3") and has not had a problem with the fit.

your looking for a new mask system I take it? this mask in full is much heavier than the Fx from resmed, this item as I am sure your aware will not fit an FX mask, just stating for clarity. This mask has good comfort but it is much heavier overall. This mask system also has a forhead support pad that the FX does not, so wearing glasses while wearing this mask is not an option. any other questions I will be happy to assist.

No, it is tight, but it's light weight. I find it to be pretty comfortable. At least for those times when you have to hide your face.

No, this would not be the mask for you. It doesn't block out light. It stays cold for a decent amount of time. I love this mask for when I need to cool down and read a book. I would recommend the IMAK EyePillow. I bought 3 of those and use them every day. It's great having more than one, if it isn't cold enough anymore I can simply swap it out for a nice cold one. I've found when using during the day it doesn't seem to stay cold as long as I would like (approx: 15-20min) But at night it is cold long enough for me to fall asleep.

To answer your question I had my wife try it on. She said it should be hard to get your hair caught in the Velcro. The sleep mask is as wide at the back as it is in the front. The Velcro is much thinner than the sleep mask. The Velcro strip is long for a lot of adjustment possibilities. My recommendation is to try it. This mask is made in Vegas (if I remember what the president of the company said). If you don't like the mask, they should be willing to return it. The president of the company e-mailed me twice after I bought mine. She was polite and asked me to write a review. Hopefully I have been helpful. Good luck sleeping!

I put a burp cloth down under my son so it would be soft and cover the strap. It is not recommended to put your baby in it without using straps. I will also for safety reasons not say to use it without straps. I did however use it with my son and he was swaddled and not strapped. I never left him in it and he was so little he was not rolling around or reaching. Hope this is helpful! Oh p.s. The vibrate feature was a huge lifesaver. This really was one of the few things I took with us everywhere.

Hi James! I just bought this recently and while I love it it's a bit of a tight fit. I have a medium sized head, and it's difficult to get the mask down to where you can really see anything. Also it's not really well ventilated. It's a great design though and really durable, but I fear that you might be out of luck if you really have a large head. I put mine on top of our coatrAck so it scares anyone who comes into the house. Hope this helps!

I am in the same boat, no it is not uncomfortable. In fact it helps me keep my pants up! And after wearing it all day at a wedding (or all day at Disney Land with the kids) sometimes I forget that it is on when I get in the car to go home. Look awkward? I don't think so, but then I like the 'gun slinger' look =) if you wear a long coat you can't even tell you have it on. Its been the best photo strap I have ever owned. HIGHLY recommended.

Hi Grace, no, the back is not uncomfortable nor thick. However, I sleep mostly on my side so I don't know if it would be uncomfortable after a long time. I wouldn't think so. Other masks are bulky on back, so I know what you mean. Good luck!

Yes, it helps put you to sleep because it is very dark, and you begin to relax. However, over time I noticed that hwoever they have the magnets attached inside, it released most of them and of course they clung to one another. Now, I have magnets piled high in one place and nothing in another. I do sew, so I will be taking it apart and re-attaching them to their original places, but it will be a pain. It is truly the softest mask, and the tension in your eye area goes away, but I am unhappy that the magnets jumped around after 6 months of wear.

Yes! my husband has a substantially larger face than i do and you can adjust the straps in the back. He doesnt need it (heavy sleeper) but loves it when he wants to sleep in on a Sunday! Very comfortable and continues to be my favorite!

I put the straps over my ears, which has the side benefit of quieting sound that your ears would otherwise capture. I normally sleep on my side and find that it works fine, but it probably depends on what sort of pillow arrangement you use.

It's quite comfortable, in my opinion. You feel your head completely surrounded, so to speak, which is why it prevents light from getting in. When you move your head around, it doesn't really make noise (I'm not exactly sure what you mean). They send you a pair of earplugs too. Basically, the part of the sleeping mask that covers your ears is just a small supplement to the earplugs. Hope this helped!

It depends upon the heat source. If you're feverish and sweating, the mask is secure enough to hold a cold wash cloth in place. I sleep in a climate controlled environment with air conditioning and fans, and therefore it's not an issue.

Not at all! It has a velcro adjustable, comfortable strap that keeps it tight fitting even when you toss and turn. And it is cushy as well, so it doesn't bind or hurt. I have been usung this mask for 10 years now and I have slept in broad daylight with it. It is AMAZING!

I'm not really sure as I switched back to another mask because I found it to me more comfortable. The strap definitely stretches out over time and it's pretty thin, but adjustable.
