, Weighted Silk Eye Pillow Filled with Organic Lavender and Flax Seeds, 100% Hypoallergenic, Sleep Mask, Fully Customizable, Adjustable Elastic Band, Plus Removable Pouch and Free Gel Eye Mask

First impressions... I was a little off put by the overwhelming smell of lavender, but the smell has subsided. Love that you can add or take away as much as you like to personalize it. Also like the size of it so that it blocks out all the light. I've only had it for a short time, but so far, am liking it. Hopefully it lasts and get lots of use out of it.

The material looks cheap, and stitching is bad, it’s also not shaped evenly or weighted. Really not worth the money, I returned straight away.

I am always looking for a good full-dark sleep mask. The best I've had is the original Bucky (not the now original Bucky because the quality is inferior) so I was excited to read all the positive reviews and give this one a try.I use this as a sleep mask and, for the most part, it is great so first the good:- solid weight (I like being able to add or subtract the flax seeds, as needed).- stays in place- light blocking- very comfortable (except for metal bit, see below)The user preference:- it turns out I'm not a huge fan of lavender and I found the scent overpowering. I was able to solve this by taking out the filling, sifting out the lavender from the flax seeds and then adding in some of the extra flax seeds to maintain the weight and volume. It was very easy to wash and now I am lavender scent free. I would suggest to the company they consider a non-lavender option).The bad:- there is a metal clasp (look at my photo) that sits directly over the top of my ear. As far as I can tell it has no purpose (the adjustment is on the other side. This metal clasp digs into the thin layer of ear and I wake up with scrapes and bruises on my upper ear area. I've (temporarily) solved the problem by stuffing some fabric under it when I sleep but this is the reason I can't give 5 stars and almost gave 3 stars.

Many years ago, I’ve made some silk eye pillow Xmas presents for my family members with the exact ingredients, flaxseed and lavender flowers. I also used beautifully soft silk material, like this one. Everyone loved it. I had since lost and missed mine... then saw this on Amazon and decided to try it.The cardboard box it arrived in was nice, yet simply designed. Inside was the filled eye pillow, a small, flat hot/cold plastic gel eye pack, and two little packages filled with extra lavender and flaxseed. The pillows were already filled perfectly and I like how we can unzip both the silk and the white inner pouch to remove or fill with more flowers or seeds based on our preference. It was well sewn, and looked and smelled wonderful!The black head band was relatively comfortable to wear, but because its location is right at the corner of my eyes, it tends to press the pillow down into my eyes too firmly. Loosening the band is not a solution to this problem, because then it falls off my head, especially when laying on my side, which is the only time i would use the headband.In addition, the pillow is lined with piping, which is attractive, but because the loops of the eye shape lay too low on my face, this causes the piping to press onto the bridge of my nose, leaving a deep impression that would take 30 mins to go away. For this reason, I could never use it for those quick 10 minute “cat naps” and plan to see anyone afterwards!Perhaps my greatest dissatisfaction of this beautiful product is the SHAPE. while it looks sensible, it’s simply is not as comfortable as a solid, more traditional rectangular shape. All to often I struggle with too much of the insides shifting to one eye, and it just doesn’t compare. I believe if it was a solid rectangle (even with slightly rounded corners), the attractive (but problematic) piping would not have left strong indentations on my nose. In addition, if the band tapered wider or attached to the pillow in the shape of a sideways “Y,” it’s possible the band could be also more effective and comfortable (no pressure directly on the eyes).Bottom line, I kept the pillow because there were no other pure silk options out there... and this is truly a well made product! And this past Xmas, I also bought several other brands on Amazon, which I checked out and will be posting reviews for soon. You’re probably thinking I should have done a video comparison, huh! If you’d like to see those upcoming reviews, simply follow my Amazon profile. :)))Thumbs up if this helped you with your decision! :)(PS, Pics coming soon!)

Ok, so I've been a huge fan of satin eye pillows that are filled with flax or rice or sand, whatever, with Lavender scent for decades. I get migraines, and my sinuses are jerks every time the weather changes. The cool comfort of an eye pillow and the scent of lavender really helps ease my pain while I wait for meds to work. This eye pillow is the cream of the crop, way better than any others I've had over the years, here's why; Firstly, the STRAP! None of the other ones I've had were able to be fastened to my head.Secondly, the zipper on the pillow itself, to be able to add/remove any stuffing and buds of lavender is a great idea!Thirdly, the additional flax seeds & buds are a really nice touch, so you can adjust the weight/firmness/scent of the pillow.Fourth, the quality of the fabric is lovely, soft, silky, seems heavy weight, there are never any seeds or anything poking through, and the zipper is not in a position that I ever feel it on my face. The adjustable part of the strap has never been caught in my long hair or anything either. And it stays put on my face without the strap needing to be excessively tight, even if my hair is pulled up and there is no resistance to hold it in place, it stays!I literally use this pillow every morning, even if I feel fine, when I begin to wake up (but it's not time to get up yet), I will put the pillow on. The feeling of it, and the scent just helps me doze back off until it's really time to get up. I know you can get cheaper eye pillows, and before this one, I got those too, but really this baby is PERFECT. Do yourself the favor and get it. If you don't love this thing, then you don't love eye pillows. :) I know this is a lot of droning on and high praise for something so simple, but I genuinely love it THIS much.
