Though mostly comfortable, the Dreamcatcher Sleep Mask Sound Blocking Pillow will take some time to get used to wearing. As it clearly states, it does not in any way "block" out noise, nor does it, in my opinion, even muffle sound. If this is what you're looking for, keep looking or use it with other products like ear plugs, etc. Ear plugs make my ears ache by morning so I didn't use them in conjunction with this mask. I'm also concerned the "helmet" will be too hot to wear in the summer, but in rainy, cool (55 degree) spring weather, it wasn't a problem.
I have long, thick hair so I found wearing it as pictured, over my hair was too uncomfortable, but having my hair come up and out the top seemed acceptable and I was able to fall asleep quickly, though I didn't stay asleep for long. The eye-patch area is not light blocking as I expected it to be (other eye masks do the job much better), as it's just thin fabric and would have been better if it was padded to fit snugly over the nose and at the base of the eyes so as you're laying, no light can invade where it currently lays loosely over the face no matter how much adjusting is done with the wrap-around blocking pillow's velcro or the velcro attached chin strap.
$30.00 is a lot of money to spend on something that doesn't do for you what you're looking to accomplish. Ear plugs and less expensive eye masks do a much better job, but for me, they are not comfortable enough.
I'm perplexed by the advertising saying I can use it for id's and credit cards. I can't think of a single reason why on earth I would want to use it as such and their marketing or development team have wasted their time touting this (IMO, useless) feature.
So for now, I'll keep trying to work with it, but it's not as convenient in its sheer size compared to other eye masks, comfortable, or depriving in sound and light as I was hoping for. After some time with the mask, working with it, adjusting it, tweaking it, I'll update my review with those findings.I am a light sleeper. Ive tried many holistic herbal remedies, including melatonin, and nothing helped. Also I travel ALLOT. Due to my crazy work schedule, I simply need to catch up on sleep while flying. This product may look kinda goofy but it really works! It is now mandatory that i go to sleep wearing my dreamcatcher. I wake up feeling rested, I do not wake up in the middle of the night. My skylight in my apartment doesn't effect my sleep schedule now. I now have the luxury of getting a few extra hours sleep on the airplane ! THANK GOD! Recently i have tried experimenting with mediation while wearing this product. IT WORKSI was interested in the concept of the Dream Helmet so I bought one off their website. To keep it short, it was not comfortable to wear when put on snugly. It put too much pressure at the bridge of my nose. And whether it's worn loose or snug, one can see outside of the eye mask portion which defeats the "light-blocking" feature. The "noise-blocking" feature is non-existent. I won't be returning it due to their policy and 30% disposal fee.I bought this for my husband, as he likes to sleep with a heavy pillow over his head to block out light and sound. He loved the idea of it but discovered that the entire wrap-around design made his head sweat at night. So it only got used once.
There are pillows out now with cooling gel layers in them...maybe this product could be improved by a gel cushioning/sound blocking layer? It might be more effective at blocking out sound, and be cooler. Also, there isn't a need to have it fully cover the back of the head. Maybe that part could be a stretchy mesh or some other design that allows some air circulation.
The idea is a great one, and if you don't sleep hot, this would be ideal for closing out the world. I also like the idea of using it while camping, because that is a time when the head can feel cold outside the sleeping bag, and it would block out moonlight and some "creepy" noises.
I also agree with the reviewer who said the credit card pocket was overkill. I think it gives it an "As Seen on TV" feel..."but wait, there's MORE!"I like this product, very nice, I actually got it for my mother a 67 years old Lady.Since the moment I saw it, I like it. When she is sitting watching TV and she falls asleep the pillow protects her neck. It also has little pockets where she can put important things, like her pills so she won't forget. The fabric is very soft.
