Weighted Eye Mask for Sleeping - Weighted , Cold Compress Sleep Mask for Puffiness, Dry Eye & Headache, Men Women Cooling Eye Mask, Perfect Light Block Out

I suffer from migraines 2-3 days every month due to my fibroids and being in my early 50s. Nothing helps and I typically boil over and need wet cloths on my head and lots of cold showers. That makes a mess of my bed as all gets wet. And if I turn my head the wet cloth slips off. And if I use a frozen wet cloth or a frozen ice pack it really hurts to leave it for more than 30 seconds on the same spot. And melts and drips. So what a great surprise when I tried out this cooling eye patch thingy. Today when my migraine began, I stuck it into the freezer for 30 minutes and then lay down with it over my eyes. 10 minutes later I felt much better! What I like about this cold relief eye mask is how light it feels on my head and pained eyes. Also how cooling it is without being too freezing or dripping all over the place. What I dislike is that it only lasts 10 minutes before cold is gone on both sides. So I suggest you buy at least 2 of them, then can have a few in the freezer and not need to wait 30-40 minutes for it to cool down again. I wish they'd make a beanie hat to cover the entire head ache head! I like it is easy to use, soft and comfortable. Even though it comes from CHina, surprisingly it is not stinking like most clothes and stuff from China. But all in all, 5-stars as my headache is GONE after two 10-minute sessions with this thing!

With severe insomnia and severe intractable status migrainous, I didn’t think it would help much, nothing does. However, I find the weight to be pretty good, most days It’s fine, worse days it’s a bit much. Works better than anticipated. A pleasant surprise. Freezing it can also help to activate dive reflex, Over the eyes / nose / under the eyes which helps anxiety and panic, too! Mine split open within a couple weeks of sporadic use, so be careful. Luckily i found all the beads before the pets did! Sewed it up and no other issues, since. Haven’t tried heating it but I’m sure that could help tension headaches as well. I recommend this for sure, just make sure it’s not split open, and leaking.

I normally wear a mask over my eyes to keep out the light when I sleep, but I was intrigued by this mask pillow because it can also be chilled. The mask is soft, and feels like a comfy jersey knit fabric. I couldn't detect any unpleasant odors, and I am pretty sensitive to chemical odors. It is filled with small beads about the size of a BB or peppercorn. I think they are solid plastic. The mask has quite a bit of weight to it, and if I were not using it in the supine position, I would need to use the elastic strap to keep it in place. The added weight is tolerable, though I did need to do a bit of manipulation to distribute the little balls in a way that provided maximum comfort and didn't press on my sinuses. One of the nicest things about this mask, that I've not found in any other mask I've tried, is that there are fairly deep hollows above each eye. So, my eyes/lids don't absorb any of the weight of the mask, and I am able to fully blink without my lids or lashes touching the mask. That's always been an irritant for me, even when using just a light folded handkerchief...I could still feel my lashes rubbing against the fabric. Not with this mask! I chilled the mask in the refrigerator (the freezer might be too cold for me), and it stayed pretty cool for about 20 minutes. The combination of cold and darkness makes for some very soothing tension headache relief! Recommended.

I love to sleep with something over my eyes. I need some sort of pressure on my eyeballs to relieve pressure in my temples or I can't sleep. I bought this thinking it would be the cure... but the weight goes directly onto your eyelids. If the weight was distributed around the eyeball cavity, it would be perfect. I found having that much weight on my eyeballs overnight gave me pain in the back of my eyes and headaches. It works well for naps but I don't recommend sleeping more than a few hours with it.

I like that it is almost exactly the same as the iMak masks it even Has an Adjustable strap that you can tighten it. The other brand does not have that so I really like that I just with it was a little fuller. They could probably fit more beads in it
