Manta ORIGINAL Sleep Mask review

The Manta ORIGINAL Sleep Mask ranks first because it solves the two problems that ruin most travel masks: light leaking around the nose and pressure on the eyes. Its eye cups slide along the strap, so you position them over your own eyes instead of accepting a fixed shape, and Manta says the cups put zero pressure on eyelids or lashes. The strap and cups are separate parts that can be swapped, which matters for a mask that gets stuffed in a seat pocket. At $39 it is mid-priced, it is HSA/FSA eligible, and it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee and international shipping. On Manta's own page it holds 4.7 out of 5 stars from 5,105 reviews. The trade-offs: the cups make it thicker than a silk mask, the TEMPUR-Sleep Mask is $10 cheaper, and side sleepers are steered toward the $85 PRO. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the mask.
