*Includes mask, two pairs of foam earplugs, and integrated stuff pocket.
Picture this: You're on a 13-hour flight to London. The cabin light flicks on three times. The screen behind you glares. With any other mask, you'd be peeking out, adjusting, giving up. With this? Strap on. Earplugs in. Dark.
The cup design is the difference. - It curves AWAY from your eyes, not against them. You can blink. You can rub your face without smearing the mask.
For people who actually need to sleep - Red-eye business travelers. Parents whose only quiet hour is altitude. Anyone whose body clock takes a beating.
The old setup hurt - Cheap masks press your eyelashes flat, leak light at the bridge of your nose, slip when you turn your head.
The new setup - Real blackout. Cool against the skin. Plugs already in your hand when you need them.
REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL TRAVELERS
"Does it actually block all the light?" Yes. The contoured cup design wraps around your eyes — no light leaks at the nose bridge like flat masks.
"Will it slide off when I turn my head?" The strap is 52-62 cm adjustable. Dial it in once. It stays where you put it.
"Will I get hot in it on a long flight?" The inside is a bamboo liner — cool and breathable. Not synthetic fleece. Long flights stay comfortable.
"What's the earplug situation?" Two pairs of Mack's® USA-made foam plugs come in the kit. There's a dedicated pocket built into the mask to keep them with it — no more lost plugs at the bottom of your bag.
"What if something breaks?" Matador repairs everything — in warranty or out. They fix it and send it back.
"Why not just use a cheap mask?" Cheap masks press on your eyelashes, leak light, and don't pack down. This is 37 g and folds into its own pocket.

Best Sleep Mask. Ever. I now own two- one for travel/camping and one for home (so I never have to go without when one is in the wash.) Love how it stashes into itself, love the ear plug stow pocket, and it is simply the most comfortable + comforting mask I've ever put on my face! I'll probably buy a third, haha.
I'm a light sleeper, so this has been especially useful in hostel dorms, overnight transportation, and flights. It blocks light really well without feeling uncomfortable, and together with earplugs it's made a noticeable difference in how much rest I get while traveling. I love that it comes with ear plugs as well.
Perfect gift. Got these as a gift for my husband. He usually runs hot, but hasn’t had any issues with these. He loves the pocket for earplugs and keeps his AirPods in there
Puffy enough to seal against light, takes getting used to. Blocks light well and it’s such a tiny package with room for earplugs. It does put some pressure on the eyes if you have a wide head. Using this mainly for the plane since it’s small… but would use an eye mask with eye relief cups if it’s for home or long term use.
My new best friend. This is the best eye mask I’ve ever owned. I have an entire drawer full of eye masks that have failed me in one way or another. I originally purchased this for staying in the alburges on the Camino de Santiago. It was a dream on my international flight. It is so soft and stays put without straps digging into your head or ears since it is completely adjustable to a custom fit. A few weeks into the Camino I lost it and was devastated. I love this mask so much the first thing I did as soon as I got home was buy a replacement. Now I sleep in snuggly soft darkness every night :)
well built, light weight, snug fit. I guess it will take some getting used to because the eye lashes brush against the sleep mask and make it a tad uncomfortable. The blackout effect is very good.
Glad to get my second Matador sleep mask. I lost my first of these sleep masks on a trip and found nothing as good! So happy to have it back. Very comfortable and adjustable. The built-in earplug pocket is great for when I switch from earbuds to going to sleep.
Eye maskIt is very good for shutting out the light. It is very good for shutting out the light. I find the material to be a bit hot causing the area it touches to sweat.
Sleeping on a cloud. Extremely comfortable and promotes restful sleep. The only issue I would say is that where it foldsunder your head if you are a back sleeper it’s a little bit too prominent. The once I move on my side (I’m a side sleeper)its wonderful
i brought these on a long trip to korea, they worked wonderful and i was able to sleep soundly when i wanted to. the eye mask was super comfortable on my back and side.
Comfortable and effective. I tried several cheap ones, but they were not comfortable and didn't do a good job blacking out light. These Matador sleep masks do their job well. They are hand washable. The earplugs fit comfortably and do a decent noise blocking job.
Great for flights. I had been looking for a package solution for flights where kids sitting on the window side of the plane will play around with the window shade, and for flights where many passengers decide to line up for the washroom when the lights are off in the cabin. The blackout sleep mask was the perfect solution as its lightweight and comfortable. I even use it for work when I take a nap during lunch hours.
Great quality Small size. Pros: The build quality and the materials used are fantastic. It pacts away super small. Cons: The size of the headband is kinda small. I have a bigger head and this eye mask just barely connects on the back. Wish it was more adjustable or just slightly bigger in general.
Comfy and convenient. It's very comfortable and very travel friendly like other Matador products. It is a little warm when in use. It takes a little getting used to when putting it away. I haven't used the earplugs with the mask yet.
Good mask, though wasn't expecting the size. Didn't use the ear buds yet, but the sleep mask was good. It blocked out majority of the light. Just wish it extended further down the eyes and on the side of nose to prevent any light coming in through below.
Super comfortable; Must-have travel accessory. These are the most comfortable and eye-encompassing eye mask that I've ever tried. It just envelopes you and is comfortable that you almost have no choice but to fall asleep. I will never travel without this mask ever again.
The softest sleeping mask ever. Absolutely love the cottony soft material and the Velcro closure- very handy that it comes with earplugs! I am getting 2 more for holiday gifts!!
