 The Best for Migraine Relief! Nov 20, 2007
By Boosu!
"Paigey's Mom"
I purchased this mask (or one just like it) years ago. Unfortunately, my dog "ate" it and I haven't been able to find anything like it since...until now. This is the best mask for easing my migraine suffering. I've tried other masks since losing my first one, but none come close to providing the relief this mask does. The weight provides perfect pressure to cheeks, forehead and around the eyes. Light is completely blocked. I wouldn't recommend it as a sleeping mask, as it won't stay put when rolling over. I highly recommend it for headache sufferers, though.

 Used to be much better Aug 05, 2008

I gave this sleep mask 5 stars in my earlier review. It was wonderful. Now in 2012, they changed the product, and this new one compresses the interior beads so densely, it doesn't mold to your skull and eyes anymore. It just sits there on your eyes, pressing down. Very uncomfortable. The older version had a relaxed comfortable fit. It had recessed air pillows over the eyes, so it didn't press down on your eyeballs. This denser, more compressed version is pretty bad. I hope they go back to their original model.

 works for light headaches Sep 14, 2009
By Ma J. Vargas Peña
It works for headaches but not for migraines. It works as a complement with other painkillers. It gives relief and the weight feels really good especially for sinusitis problems.

 Not Great! Mar 29, 2011
By J. Sims-Olson
I bought this product mainly based on reading the reviews. But now I think most of these reviews must have been written by the sellers of this product. I found the eye mask tight, and heavy on the eyes. In fact I would find my vision quite blurry after wearing this mask for more than an hour(due to the actual pressure on the eyes). If you are only going to use it for less than an hour it might work for you. But if you want a mask for a plane trip, sleeping, napping, it is not designed very well.

Great for Migraine relief Sep 13, 2010
By thrasher
I bought one of these in spring 2009 when I started getting severe migraines. This mask is so good I bought a second just recently (fall2010) to have an extra at my boyfriend's house. Just leave in the freezer and take it out when you need the cool/darkness. Blocks light very well, and the beads inside make it form to your face so you feel a lot of the cold. Also stays cool for at least half an hour, which is longer than some other masks I have tried. Considering getting a third so I can rotate between two at my apartment and have the extra at my boyfriend's. Worth the money.
EDIT--
Okay, so, it is now May of 2012, I bought two more recently and still love them (now own a total of four). I am not as sold on them staying cool for 30 minutes though. Recently I have noticed needing to flip the mask over after the first 5-10 minutes and then I sometimes flip it again 5-10 minutes after that to keep the coolest parts on my eyes. The bonus for me is I find if I flip them they don't get warm for a really long time, I even fall asleep with them on and don't notice the warmth for at least an hour or so. I keep the extras in the freezer so I can rotate through them, my boyfriend even knows when I start to get a migraine to go and get me one right away. This mask is my favorite of about 4 different kinds that I have tried. The other ones have been lost to the wind over the years, and these have stuck around. I do have to either tie, staple, sew, or otherwise make the strap a bit tighter to fit my head, but that's not too big of a deal.
I still 100% recommend this product, even just to try to make a migraine less terrible.
