I’m particular about anything that goes on or around my head — especially sleep masks and headphones. It’s been a challenge for me to find sleep products that are comfortable, reliable and effective. Hearing about the Manta Sound Sleep Mask immediately piqued my interest, but hesitations remained: Would it actually help me get better sleep? Watch me test the Manta Sound Sleep Mask with an afternoon nap.
You may have come across Manta Sleep on Instagram or TikTok as it’s quickly grown in popularity. The original Manta Sleep Mask has nearly 13,000 reviews on Amazon alone, and the brand says it’s helped over a million people improve their sleep. Manta offers a variety of sleep masks at various prices, ranging from $35 for the original sleep mask to a $69 silk mask. It also offers therapeutic options, such as weighted, cooling or steaming eye masks. Additional sleep accessories and products, such as blue light glasses, earplugs and travel pillows, are also available. The mask’s technology is straightforward and easy to use.
I recently moved into a new apartment where I have a few problems with getting quality sleep. Our bedroom has large windows and sheer day shades only, so quite a bit of city light shines through at night. This does not bother my husband, but it keeps me up. Before buying and installing blackout curtains, I wanted to see if a blackout sleep mask would help. I’m a light sleeper and wake up to the slightest of noises, whether it’s my cat purring, cars honking or our neighbor’s TV. Masking those extraneous noises with sleep headphones seemed like a no-brainer.
