What is the Ostrichpillow Eye Mask Made Of?
Ostrichpillow describe this mask as “the first truly 3D ergonomic eye mask.” So what does that mean? Let’s take a closer look at the materials used in this mask.
My Experience with the Ostrichpillow Eye Mask
When I first put on the Ostrichpillow eye mask, I was immediately immersed in darkness. I was seriously impressed with the blackout experience with this eye mask. No light was filtering in through the mask. When I took it off, I could tell that street lights outside my window and my alarm clock’s screen were casting some light around my bedroom, so it was a stark difference between the complete darkness with the mask on and the semi-darkness without the mask. I also really liked the way that the mask rested on my face. The foam is super soft and is perfectly molded around the three-dimensional features of the face. I particularly liked the hollowed out part of the mask around the eyes. It allowed me to be able to blink and even open my eyes completely without feeling the mask rub up against my eyelids, as it might with a more conventional face mask. I appreciated that the strap was adjustable, as it allowed me to tighten it the right amount for the mask to stay on my head. However, if you’re trying to maintain a hairstyle overnight, I think this strap would definitely leave a crease in your hair, as it is basically just an elastic band.

Is the Ostrichpillow Eye Mask Good For You?
Now that we’ve covered what the Ostrichpillow eye mask is made of and my experience testing it out, let’s go over my recommendations. I’ll let you know who should and shouldn’t consider buying this mask.Who Should Try the Ostrichpillow Eye Mask
- If you’re looking for an eye mask that truly provides a total blackout experience, I think you’ll love the Ostrichpillow. It really delivers on blocking out any light — which is the primary purpose of an eye mask. The blackout effect helped me to fall asleep more quickly, because even if I opened my eyes as I was lying in bed, I was still immersed in darkness. Darkness is an important cue to your body that it’s time to sleep!
- If you’ve had trouble finding an eye mask that fits comfortably on your face, I think the Ostrichpillow is a great choice. It’s really adjustable to different head sizes and face types and I loved how the molded foam allowed space for your eyes, nose, and other facial features. The molded foam design means that this mask doesn’t put any pressure on your face.
- If easy cleaning is important to you, you’ll love that the Ostrichpillow is machine washable. Honestly, that’s a huge pro in my book, especially for those of us who struggle with acne or other skin conditions. Who wants a mask that’s trapping dirt and oil on your face night after night?
- If you’re a back sleeper, I think you’ll love the Ostrichpillow eye mask, as it rests quite comfortably on your face when lying on your back.
Ostrichpillow Eye Mask Complaints
- Side sleepers, I’m not sure the Ostrichpillow is the best choice for you. I found lying on my side with this puffy foam mask to be a little uncomfortable, as it caused my face to squish up a little bit. I think stomach sleepers will run into the same issue, as they tend to turn their neck and head to the side as they sleep.
- If you want a mask that won’t cause any creases on your hair overnight, I also would steer you away from the Ostrichpillow. The adjustable, elastic strap has great functionality for fitting the mask comfortably, but not so much for preserving overnight hairstyles.
- If you’re shopping on a budget, I also don’t think the Ostrich pillow is the best choice. This eye mask is definitely made with high-quality materials and the price reflects that.
