The Cavoilu Eye Mask is a modular system that includes a Mulberry silk outer sleeve and a removable gel insert. This design allows it to function as a standard light-blocking mask for sleep or as a cooling tool for 15-minute recovery sessions. The silk exterior is a 6A grade material, which is helpful for reducing friction and preventing sleep lines on the skin.
The gel insert uses a standard formulation that is durable for refrigeration. However, if the insert is kept in a freezer at very low temperatures, it can become rigid. For the most comfortable fit, side-sleepers may prefer using the silk sleeve alone, as the edges of the gel insert can be felt at the temples when lying on one's side.
Features include:
- An oversized wing design that provides over 98% light occlusion.
- An adjustable wide-band elastic strap with a low-profile buckle.
- A modular design that works with or without the cooling element.
Tests show that the cooling effect of the gel typically lasts for about 18 to 22 minutes. To maintain the fit, owners should be aware that the elastic strap may lose some of its stretch over six months of daily application.
If you prefer a mask with permanent herbal filling instead of a removable gel pack, the Hugger Mugger Herbal Eye Pillow is a great alternative.
