ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers — Black contoured eye cups, adjustable low-profile headband

ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers is a soft, adjustable, machine-washable eye mask engineered to block light without pressing on your eyes or ears.

Designed specifically to suit people who sleep on their sides or have sensitive facial contact points, this mask pairs a low-profile headband with deep, contoured eye cups and a nose cutout to create an effective blackout seal while avoiding pressure on eyelashes and the eyeballs. The non-metal adjusters sit away from the ears so the band remains comfortable for long nights, and the mask is durable enough to be washed in a laundry bag on a delicate cycle.

How does this mask keep light out for side sleepers?

The ALASKA BEAR mask uses sculpted eye cups and a tailored nose channel to cradle the face and create a continuous barrier against incoming light even when you turn onto your side. Instead of a flat, compressing pad, the cups curve around the eyes so light is blocked without touching the eyelids.

• Deep, contoured eye cavities maintain a gap between mask and eyes
• Shaped nose cutout forms a snug seal to prevent light leaks
• Flexible fit adapts to back, stomach, and side sleeping positions

Will it stay on comfortably without irritating my ears?

Yes — the band features repositioned, non-metal adjusters that avoid contact with the ears and reduce rubbing or pinching. The strap is thin enough to lie smoothly under hair yet sturdy enough to hold the mask in place for small and large head sizes.

• Headband design moves adjusters away from the ear area
• Non-metal clasps prevent scratching and skin irritation
• Adjustable length for a secure, non-bulky fit

How is this mask maintained and cleaned?

The mask can be machine washed safely when placed inside a laundry bag and run on a delicate cycle, making it easy to keep fresh without degrading the materials. Air dry flat to preserve the mask’s shape and maintain the integrity of the contoured eye cups.

• Machine-washable in a protective laundry bag on delicate
• Use gentle detergent; avoid bleach and high heat
• Air dry to maintain cup shape and strap performance

Does the fit work for different face shapes and sizes?

The ALASKA BEAR mask was created to suit a broad range of facial profiles, from petite to larger dimensions, and to remain snug without feeling overly tight. Because the cups don’t press on the eyes, it is especially suitable for people with longer lashes or those who dislike direct pressure on the eyelids.

• Easy to adjust for small women and large men
• Elasticated band offers a balanced hold without bulk
• Contoured design minimizes movement while you shift positions

Who is this for: The ALASKA BEAR Sleep Mask fits anyone seeking a blackout sleep solution that’s gentle on the face and ears — ideal for side sleepers, people with sensitive skin or eyelashes, travelers, shift workers, and anyone who prefers a low-profile, washable eye mask. It’s a practical choice if you need consistent darkness without the squeeze of a traditional flat mask or the irritation of metal hardware.
