Customers Who Found Perfect Night’s Sleep
Emily K.
“I’m a side sleeper and every other mask would slip off or press on my eyes. The Alaska Bear stays put all night without any pressure—it’s like wearing a cloud. My husband says I haven’t tossed and turned once since I got it.”
Marcus T.
“Flight attendant here. I’ve tried dozens of sleep masks over 8 years of red-eyes and hotel rooms. This one blocks out every bit of light, even those annoying LED alarm clocks. The silk feels incredible and doesn’t leave marks on my face.”

Why Brand Called Alaska Bear
We started making sleep masks because we were tired of tossing and turning through those endless summer nights in Anchorage. You know the ones — where the sun barely sets and your bedroom feels like high noon at midnight. After trying every blackout curtain and eye mask on the market (and finding them all wanting), we figured there had to be a better way to hibernate like the locals do.
What began as a solution for surviving the midnight sun turned into something bigger. We discovered that the same ultra-soft, completely light-blocking design that saved our sanity during Alaskan summers was exactly what people everywhere needed for deeper sleep. Whether you’re dealing with streetlights in Brooklyn, a partner who scrolls their phone until 2 AM, or just trying to catch some rest on a cross-country flight, we make the kind of darkness that lets your body finally remember how to truly rest.
Every mask we create goes through what we call the “solstice test” — if it can block out the June sun in Fairbanks, it can handle anything. We use mulberry silk because your face deserves better than synthetic fabrics that leave marks and cause breakouts. The adjustable strap won’t snag your hair or dig into your head. And unlike those paper-thin drugstore masks, ours actually stay put whether you’re a side sleeper, stomach sleeper, or someone who does interpretive dance in their sleep. Because everyone deserves to sleep like a bear in winter, even when the world won’t stop being bright.
Questions That Matter
The adjustable strap uses a gentle elastic band that wraps around the head without creating pressure points. The design accounts for different sleeping positions, and the lightweight material prevents the mask from shifting throughout the night.
Yes, the contoured shape and soft padding accommodate side sleeping comfortably. The mask’s profile is thin enough to avoid bunching against pillows, and the material compresses naturally without losing its light-blocking ability.
The breathable silk material allows air circulation while blocking light. Most people find it comfortable in various room temperatures, though individual experiences may vary based on personal temperature preferences and bedroom conditions.
With proper care and nightly use, most masks maintain their shape and effectiveness for 6-12 months. The elastic strap tends to show wear first, though this varies based on handling and washing frequency.
Hand washing in cold water with mild detergent is recommended to maintain the fabric’s softness and shape. The mask should be air-dried away from direct sunlight. Machine washing may reduce the lifespan of the elastic and affect the contoured structure.
The contoured design and nose bridge create an effective seal against most light sources. While it blocks the vast majority of ambient light, extremely bright conditions (like direct sunlight) may allow minimal light penetration around edges, which is typical for soft sleep masks.Retry
