Elusive Dreams Sleep Mask Review + Giveaway

I have grown accustomed to wearing a sleep mask at night because my drapes are not dark enough to drown out all of the morning sunshine. And when the sun would peek through, my eyes would pop open and refuse to shut again.  But mask eventually get worn and dirty so they have to be washed and some don't hold up so well in the washing machine. So I was very happy to give the Elusive Dreams Sleep Mask a try.

Sadly I hardly ever have a completely quiet house, not even at bed time. One animal or another is always making some type of noise. It never fails they start as soon as my head hits the pillow and I'm dozing off. So I started wearing ear plugs to bed when they act up.  I'm not sure what happened to my last pair of ear plugs but they are officially gone. Maybe one of the animals ate them so they could torture me at night, you never know.  Lucky for me the Elusive Dreams Sleep Mask comes with a set of ear plugs.

Completely unique to any mask I have ever seen there are little spaces built in to HOLD the ear plugs. The little spaces are in the elastic and hold them tightly in place. So no more putting them in my night stand drawer and searching when I need them. No more putting them in a bag then remembering to tie the nag so they don't fall out.

The ear plugs are easy to insert and block out a lot of noise. I remember being very disappointed when I've used other earplugs because I still heard  a LOT of the noise that I was trying to avoid.

The outside of the mask is made of  a smooth satin and the inside is lined with a very soft silk material. is very comfortable plus the strap is adjustable elastic so it can be customized to fit your face. I can wear the mask all night with no irritation and it doesn't feel like it's squeezing my face. I have no evidence of wearing a sleep mask when I wake up. I have a few masks that leave marks an an indention in my face when I wake up in the morning.

There are adjustable straps so the mask will fit the way you want it too. I like mine a little loose so mine will slip up sometimes but really that's no big deal to me. I could make it tighter if I wanted but I've never felt the need to.

Tired of looking for your pillow's cool spots try - Hydraluxe Cool Case - sleep better and cooler

I don't know about you but some nights I find myself dripping with sweat in the middle of the night. Or I wake up and throw my legs out of the covers because I am so hot.  I looked into a cool touch pillow but they are not cheap and I HATE getting used a new pillow. When I was lucky enough to review a Hydraluxe Cool Case by Comfort Revolution for y'all I was very excited to try it out. The Hydraluxe Cool Case is a pillow case with a built in cooling gel technology that adds soothing comfort to any pillow. 

I had the same pillow for YEARS before I broke down and got another one. The first one I picked was soooo uncomfortable. When I woke in the morning I wanted to sue the pillow company for the extreme pain I was experiencing.  We all know I didn't sue them but I did stop using that pillow and went back to old faithful. I have since found a pillow that I can tolerate, maybe even like, but it's not my old faithful.

The Hydraluxe Cool Case is a super quick and easy way to turn any pillow into a cool touch pillow. So I could have a cool pillow and keep the pillow I am comfortable on. What could be better? When I opened the package I did notice the pillow case has some weight to it. I was a little concerned but then I discovered it really didn't matter. It's not like I carry my pillow all over so who cares!

As easy as sliding on a pillow case I unzipped the Cool Case and my pillow went in with a little shake. Then I put the pillow case that matches my sheet set on top.  The cool case could be used as the only pillow case because the get lining zips in and out so the outer cover can be thrown in the washing machine. 

The first night I slept on it, it was like heaven. My pillow felt great, it was not freezing like an arctic blast  it wasn't even as cold as an ice cube it just was cool and calming. I laid my head and thought it was the best feeling. Then the best part is my comfortable pillow was underneath so I had nothing to adjust.  I slept like a rock (notice I didn't say a baby. They wake up like every four hours. who wants that??) that night and woke up feeling like I had a great night sleep. 

Since i have been using the Hydraluxe Cool Case I have not woken up dripping with sweat. I have slept all night so I am getting a full night of sound sleep. 

The best part is they are so affordable.  A standard size pillow case is $19.99, Queen size $29.99 and King Size $39.99 Plus you get free shipping at ComfortRevolution.com
