Feedback - Hibermate Sleep Mask reviews

We've added this page because we just can't fit any more of our sleep mask reviews on the front page! Seriously though, thanks to all of you who've contributed, in every single case you've sat down and taken the time to write to me personally and for that I'm very grateful... Honestly, these email messages are real. You just can't make this many up! (as some rather strange people seem to think I have!). 

Lastly, we're no longer placing email addresses (to confirm the veracity of the messages) on this page -  the email harvesting "robots" have been out in force and regrettably many of my customers have received a ton of spam since kindly posting here.

Sincerely,

Chris

PS. there are also a couple of 'bloopers' right at the very bottom... If you're in a hurry, please scroll down the page --->

Hi Chris,

Hi Chris,

I bought a Hibermate sleep mask in 2002 and have used it every night ever since, and have washed it many times!! In fact, I think my Hibermate's better traveled than some of my friends, as it's gone to many states in the US, Spain, Italy (twice!), Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and Mexico!

The elastic has become loose after so much use and washing, so, I decided that it was time for a new one!

I can't wait! 

Thank you!! And please feel free to add the above to your testimonials on your website! =D

Hello Chris,

The package arrived safely yesterday, and I spent my first night with it, with a great sleep. Great light blocker, and such a simple design. I'm looking forward to improved sleep. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Blessings to you!

I purchased a sleep mask some years ago online from a Gentleman who made them for his friends who were sick and confined to hospital wards. 

It was the best mask but unfortunately I left it somewhere in England while on vacation. 

Your mask seems to be the same one but the website is different. I am going to order one of yours but just wanted to know if you are the same guy. 

I was so touched by the story of this gentleman and the mask that whenever someone asks me about how I sleep with a person who snores I have to let them know about the gentleman who cared so much about his friends. 

Thank you so much for a great product and taking the time to answer my question.

Chris,

I didn't get the name of your product until I tried to say it with my horrible version of an Australian accent.

I thought it was very clever and very funny. Eye ber mate, ahh ha ha.

My husband, who used to live in Perth, wasn't impressed with my accent at all. I think his exact words "And still you keep trying."

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a great night's sleep!

Dear Chris

I am Catherine, Jason's wife, and it was I who ordered the mask for him as he is a shift worker who has terrible trouble sleeping in the day time! We received the mask last Wednesday at the door as we requested. Thanks a lot for the excellent service and product. I tried the mask myself and I loved it...my husband has yet to comment but I notice he has had it on the last two night shifts...I just have not had the opportunity to ask him how it was!

Thanks again for a great after sales service and a well made and soft touch sleep mask!!!

Hi Chris,

Thank you! Wow. I just received my mask and I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about being able to use this on our upcoming trip! Your Hibermate mask is the first and only one that completely blocks every last little bit of light, and has cotton next to my face so I won't react to the polyester. Nothing else has ever come close to your delightful piece of perfection.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - I've been waiting for something like this all my life and it is worth every single penny.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the update on my sleep mask order. It was actually requested by my son who is in the military and deployed to a very sunny place. His shift requires him to sleep during the day, so he's having trouble sleeping well. After reading the many positive feedback comments on your website, I went ahead and ordered one for myself, too, since I work 3rd shift in the health profession and sleep during the day as well. I can't wait to see them and forward one on to my son!

Quite honestly, I practically live "off the grid", just got a computer into my home this year, and have NEVER ordered anything from oversees let alone from Australia! It took a leap of faith to even place an order that required a currency exchange!

Chris -
 
I know you get lots of positive reviews of the Hibermate from satisfied customers, but I just couldn't resist adding my own.  I'm a light sleeper, and I definitely prefer a minimum of light and noise to give me peaceful and restful sleep. 

I have tried many different eyeshades; they all slip around on my head and fall off during the night. 

And I've also tried many different kinds of earplugs; they, too, invariably pop out during the night.  The Hibernate solves both these problems:  it stays in place pretty well, and those nice comfy ear muffs provide just enough sound barriers. 

Thanks to you and your wonderful product, I've finally got the key(s) to a consistently peaceful night's sleep.
 
Thanks!

Hello Chris and Lib,

I just wanted to inform that my Hibermate arrived today and oh, wow, I Love it. It is the most comfortable and effective sleep mask I have ever tried and it gave me such a restful night! I am a shift worker and student and this is going to be of great use to me. And also worth mentioning, it is a great price and it arrived SO fast! I will urge everyone I know to get one. Thank you very much.

Thanks Chris, 

This is my fourth Hibermate. I've been on 3rd shift for 14 years and the best thing I've found to help me cope is your product. I recommend them to everyone. This one is for my 11 year old daughter that keeps taking mine! Congrats on your new addition!

Thank you. I work the midnight shift as a Lieutenant in a prison here in Michigan, U.S.A. Your mask was referred to me by one of my staff last night. I had another mask that has seen better days and was in need of a new one. As soon as he started describing your mask, I knew it was something I had to check into. If your mask performs as good as I think it will...I will surely pass on your product information to my entire shift, as we're all looking for a better mouse trap when it comes to being able to sleep during the day. Can't wait!

God Bless,

Dale Holcomb

Yes by all means - navy is fine - I don't particularly care about the colour.  I had two of your masks already and loved them - one was lost somewhere, so I am restocking and getting a few as gifts.

Thanks Chris. It arrived safely!

I’ve enjoyed my Hibermate, so I was stocking up & equipping my daughter who is off overseas. It was a pity about the ear muffs, but it will suit her as she has headphones etc for her ipod.

Hope business is going well! I’m from the medical area, so trust that you have advertised to Sleep Clinics, also women’s clinics, especially those dealing in menopausal women-they have the sleep problem!

Good luck!

Hi Chris

I bought my Hibermate just over a year ago, (usual enthusiastic, just love it, cant do without it sort of thing) and I would like to order a newie.

I see on your website that you have a pitch black one "coming soon". I have the navy one, but I think I'd like to try the black for a change. Can you give me a better idea of how soon the black might be available?

Many thanks
Melinda.

This is just a note to let you know that the Hibermate you sent arrived today. Many thanks! I'm looking forward to sleeping through the noise and light show of snow ploughs that invade our cul de sac in the very early morning hours each winter.

This should do the trick!

Received the Hibermate on Thursday, and used it to sleep on Thursday. Slept for 8 hours solid! Thanks very much, should have years of peaceful day time sleep now too! Oh, I’ve also passed your website details on to other people I work with, they should be ordering soon!

Cheers

5th October 2007 - here's a funny testimonial!

My PC has been down for a while, been trying to figure out my wifes Mac. Finally getting

around to e-mails and just wanted you to know my wife absolutely loves the hibermate.

When she sleeps better I sleep better. If somebody wants to use a different eye mask then

yours they may as well duct tape a brick to their face.

Thanks for a great product and congrats on the new addition! Ours arrives in March.

Mike Tooey

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the incredibly quick delivery - parcel has arrived this morning, 6 days sharp from
your shipment advice! Very impressive - I've been waiting for parcels from other European countries
much longer than that !

The timing is just perfect as I will be visiting family with 2 small kids the coming weekend and
even though the Scandinavian summer is touching its end, daylight still starts at approx. 04.30 a.m.

I really like your website - very personalized - and I appreciate your excellent service.

I'll let you know the 'test results' but I'm quite sure they will be good, the mask looks and
feels very functional and cozy. Might be a great gift too ...

Kindest regards to you, your family and all you Hibermates around the globe !

Just wanted to let you know that my Hibermate was just delivered! I was not expecting it until the end of this week or maybe early next week, so this is a pleasant surprise.

Hi Chris

I've had a Hibermate sleep mask for over four years and it was the best thing I had stumbled on while surfing the internet! 

I love it so much that I don't go anywhere without it! In fact, it's probably more traveled than many of my friends, having gone all over the US and to Europe and North Africa! 

I've bought them for friends and my most recent purchase is for a friend who is having her first child next month! I know that the Hibermate sleep mask will help her to sleep well when she does have a chance to sleep! 

I will never buy another sleep mask, ever!

Thanks again for what is a great product.

Hi Chris,

I purchased my hibermate some 6 months ago. I am a shift work that has never slept well during the day, however when I moved into a new apartment recently where some genius had designed bedroom doors and walls with frosted glass I was in trouble. I had always used eye masks that either fall apart, break or fall off. My hibermate sits perfectly and gives the appearance that it is going to serve me for many years. I do not wear the supplied ear muffs, preferring to use the supplied ear plugs which coincidently are the most comfortable that I have ever used. All this contributes to a great sleep however light of noisy my bedroom becomes.

Thanks

Here's another all time favourite!

Dear Chris, Lib and Bonnie - 

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to Bonnie, your new addition, and thank YOU for the very interesting E-mail response! I'm sure the Hibermate will be outstanding and do its duty for us 'Colonials!' Speaking of Colonials, many years ago I watched a simply wonderful mini-series on TV here entitled "Against The Wind" about the founding of Australia by convicts who were "transported" from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. If you have not seen it and ever get the chance, do so and you won't regret it, it's great history. My old boss Norm Cahill used to tell us that when he visited Australia he was treated like a long-lost member of the family because his name was 'Cahill." 

But perhaps the biggest debt I owe you all in the land "Down Under" is that one of your very brave RAN destroyers, HMAS HOBART, saved my ship in 1968 during the Viet-Nam conflict. 

I was aboard a big cruiser, the USS PROVIDENCE, and we were moving in towards shore under cover of fog to perform a naval gunfire mission when we were hit repeatedly by North Vietnamese shore battery fire. Apparently we were unaware they had us in their sights for quite a ways in. 

Suddenly, out of the fog comes HMAS HOBART, Australian flag flying, much smaller than us, all guns blazing away, smoke from her batteries hovering and the vessel heeling sideways from the recoils and looking like a gray pirate ship of old battling the French or Spanish fleets. 

But it was the most wonderful sight to all of us aboard our ship! HOBART distracted the North Vietnamese who turned their attention to her while she in turn started dodging in circles and zig-zagging while still blasting away with everything she had. What a courageous and crazy thing to do, but we loved her for it! 

We were able to move back out to sea with HOBART covering our rear all the way to open waters. I remember her and her crew were highly decorated for their efforts to save us.

To this day, 39 years later, at each PROVIDENCE reunion, the crew of the USS PROVIDENCE raises a toast to the officers and crew of HMAS HOBART. 

HMAS' HOBART, VENDETTA and PERTH were the bravest of the brave and stood their ground like Australians always do! 

Sorry I bored you with an old war story. I'm slipping towards "Geezerdom" I guess!!

Take care, be well, enjoy your new beautiful child Bonnie (a truly 'Bonnie' lass!) and write whenever you have time, I always enjoy making new friends! Attach a photo if you can!

Dear Hibermate,

I received my eye mask and love it. I took a nap today and the light
didn't bother me...yes! I am using the orange ear plugs also as it cuts
out the sounds of snoring. However, the ones like it that the US sells
are not as dense. I would like to buy a few more pairs of the ear plugs
like the ones you sent. Do you know where I might get them?

Thank you again for a great product and for helping me with this need.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Elliott

Hi Chris,

I’m writing to thank you again for sending me a mask. It works very well at keep out the light (completely). 
It does what it’s supposed to do—block out light—very well, and the mask itself is comfortable!

Thanks again.

You guys have created a very high quality product, because it allowed my husband to "sleep like a lamb" as he put it, and that Rarely happens. I think the ear pillows are key to keeping out some sound and provide nice support for side sleeping, and the mask puts just enough pressure on eye, to actually be comforting, not confining! Could you please put me on a waiting list for 2 black sleep masks when you get them in stock? I can't wait to get them, I have a 1 year old daughter and from time to time I pull an "all-nighter" with her and would benefit from this mask myself. Thank you again.

Hello Chris,

I look forward to receiving my new hibermate. I bought one for my boyfirend for Christmas and he loves it, so decided to buy another one for my friend who does nightshift as a thank you pressie. Great product.

I shall carry on recommending your superb product to sleep depraved Londoners.

Wishing you well for 2007,

Chris:

I've tried so many sleeping masks only to be disappointed by their construction (the head band loosens or breaks) or they stain the pillow, or they're just too flimsy to really do the job. The Hibermate mask is sturdy and the most comfortable I've ever worn. It truly cuts out the light. The ear covers are comfortable and really work -- no need for ear plugs. If Hibermate were an automobile it would be a Rolls Royce. Now that I have mine, I can tell you that you're not charging enough!

Hi Chris,

I ordered a mask from you a couple of years ago and it was really fantastic. I've just been away to New York where one of the two things that went missing from my room was my Hibermate. Was so annoyed but when I complained to the hotel I don't think they realised the gravity of losing a Hibermate (I hope where ever my hibermate has turned up it will be taken care of!).  

Anyway, just got back today and placed another order and really pleased to see that the company looks to have gone from strength to strength. Looking forward to receiving my new order.

Thanks,

hi chris

the sleep mask arrived yesterday, i used it last night without the ear pads 
as its quiet and i had the deepest sleep i have had in a long time. i 
usually wake up two or three times in the night and usually about an hour 
before i need to get up i slept straight through to my alarm.

when i first opened it i thought the side straps would irritate me but they 
were really comfortable!

thanks for sending it so quick, looking forward to a peaceful night tonight!

ps: thanks for the ear plugs, im going to uni next year the mask is coming 
with me and definatly the ear pads and ear plugs to block out other people 
coming in late! thanks again

Dear Makers of Hibermate,

I’m a happy and enthusiastic Hibermate user. But my mask keeps getting borrowed (I sometimes say “stolen”). So in self-protection, I give up!

I need to order two more masks as soon as they are available.
Please write soon. 

Thank you.

Hey folks,

First let me say that I have loved my hibermate. I ordered mine three or four years ago, as a graveyard police officer. It made the difference for my family. Before even with ear plugs it was very easy for me to wake up in the afternoon, after I recieved my hibermate I was able to sleep through most natural dissasters comfortably.

Please use my comments if you feel they can help you. You can add best customer service ever to my comments.

Dear Chris

Wow! You have just blown me away with your customer service. I think I'm pretty safe in saying that I've never experienced this superb level of follow-up before. 

Congratulations on an excellent product and customer service which is second to none.

As a result I'd like to order another Hibermate as a gift for my brother. (They really feel like a hug for the eyes!) Perhaps they could be sent in the same envelope? Please let me know if you need my payment details again. I assure you that you'll be getting more business from me in the future. You certainly deserve it!

Kindest regards

Oh, my GOSH I love my Hibermate!! It is best thing to ever happen to sleeping since the weekend. One added bonus that no one seems to have mentioned: it also works as a fabulous adjunct to undereye moisturizing. Just apply some good eye cream to the periorbial area and put on your Hibermate. When you wake up the skin around your eyes will be STUNNING and soft! It is like a mini facelift!!

Hi Chris

My wife has been buying her masks over the internet for almost ten years at a rate of almost 20 a year from a company called "xxxxxxxx -
I've removed ref - CT". But they obviously don’t last. I decided to shop around and she immediately stopped me when she saw your mask and fell in love, and now that she is wearing it, it is a full blown love affair. If it will only last (and she seems to think it will) you guys are ours for life. Thanks again for being so understanding. God bless all down there and may you all be safe and happy. Take care, we’ll be in touch, but hopefully not too soon…..

4 years of constant use....

. . . and still working!

Dear Chris,

I bought 3 of your Hibermates back in 2002, and have been using them ever 
since. Wanted you to know that they are very durable! I use my black one 
constantly, and ended up giving my other two away to needy fibromites - who 
love them!

After 4 years of constant use (every night, and for naps during the day 3-4 
times a week), the eleatic is finally starting to wear out. My daughter will 
have to put more on, soon! They are well constructed (did I say durable?), 
and attractive. The Hibermate *works* - no light, much reduced noise, but I 
can still hear my alarm clock(s) or timer(s) and wake up on time.

Now that I have joined the Red Hat Society, I'm waiting for you to put them 
out in Purple with a Red embroidered "Hibermate" and Red with a Purple 
embroidered "Hibermate."

As soon as I have a new website set up, I want to become an affiliate. I 
believe in these things!! Hope you put out the other colors again. I want to 
get a Red one and another Black one.

Cheerio!

Hi Chris, 

Would you be up for sending another one do you think? When I was there my friend was incredibly impressed with the mask, as I am. He was still using those crappy airline ones.

What I might do is check if he would like it sent to a different address, though the company one should have been perfectly safe.

I know you are an ex Lonely Planet man. I have worked with them for 10 years now in various roles, currently as one of the selling agents, I have known Tony and Maureen for quite a while as well.

Your mask is absolutely brilliant, I take it everywhere with me……

just over a week. It was waiting for me when we took
possession of our new house here in Calgary!

I think that your service
was excellent and your product was exactly as
described and does exactly what it said it would. Not
always easy to find, especially on the internet, so
well done! 


I am very happy with it, I find it very comfortable
and it is great for this time of year, as it is light
here now at 5.45am!

Take care and thanks again

I bought one of your lovely sleep masks a couple of years ago when I went travelling, and have been absolutely delighted with it.

Thanks a lot,

Hi Chris

Good News.  The parcel arrived today.  I am very pleased with the product.  Thanks for your willingness to work with me on this matter. I will tell you that the eye mask is for my husband who has been using one of my satin eye pillows for a couple of years. The elastic is so stretched out that he ties it on at night. This leaves a small indention line around the back of his hair. It is quite humorous. He teaches at a local university, and his students tease him about it quite regularly. He also sleeps with ear plugs, so the ear attachments are a definite plus. When I saw it on your website, I knew that I had to get it for him. I just wish there was a way to get insurance to pay for these things, being that he is an insomniac...

Thanks again, Bethany

Dear Chris,

Thanks so much for your kindness. It really made my day.

The sleep mask has revolutionised my life. For the first time in years I'm able to sleep past dawn. This is a godsend because, for some years I've been in a vicious cycle where my chronic health problems interfere with my sleep and my health is worsened by the lack of sleep. The Hibermate has helped to break that cycle and, thus, to make me feel more well on a daily basis. I love it.

You are welcome to quote anything I've said in either of my emails on your website. Thanks again for your kindness.

Sincerely,

I ordered four

Finally, I am a marketing professor and use your firm as an example of great international marketing.  I assume you are a small firm yet you sell all over the world.  Thanks for being a good example!

Having used the Hibermate on a daily basis for approximately four years, I thought I'd take this opportunity to thank you for creating a wonderful product. As a Chicago Police Officer forced to work the midnight shift while attending law school, I can honestly say I owe my sanity to the Hibermate. Prior to discovering Hibermate, sleep was something that was interrupted regularly by both sunlight and noise (birds, cars, airplanes, pedestrians, etc. . .). I had unsuccessfully tried numerous sleep masks before discovering your product on the Internet. In a last ditch effort to obtain blissful sleep, I decided to give it a try. Much to my surprise, your product delivered on its promise of eliminating light and reducing noise.
In conclusion, thanks for the product. It has served me well for many years, and I look forward to receiving the new masks.

Please keep me posted!

Hi Chris,

Just a short note to say how impressed I am with your delivery, I am now in receipt of my order (even though I had to go and collect it myself from the sorting officer, being Christmas and all).

They are just what my wife and I need, both being shift workers and are employed on lots of night shifts.
As your company has been the third Ozz company I have placed orders in the last 18 months, the first for sheepskin car seat covers, to date I am still awaiting delivery, they keep giving me updated e-mails everytime I enquire, now I have resigned to not receiving anything from them.

The second company, my order was for delivery in early November for my Grandsons birthday, due to my pushing I have received two identical orders (funny enough collected same day as your delivery)
Basically what I am saying it is nice to receive something when promised.

May I wish you and your staff all the very best for the New Year and I hope we do business again in the not too distant future.
Kind regards

Dear Chris

Just a quick note--my husband and I bought a pair of your masks over two years ago. I've tried other masks, and was NEVER satisfied until we found the HiberMate. Now we can't sleep without them. They are very durable and functional. No hair-pulling, no slipping off in the night, no light seepage AT ALL. The only reason we're replacing them is because our puppy destroyed one off them--AARRGGHH! We're fighting over who gets the intact mask!

Here is a testimonial worth posting. For three years I have lived next door to the worst neighbor in the world. Four dogs outside all the time barking. I have tried every avenue to get some sleep at night including prescription sleep aids, black out curtains, white noise machines and nothing so far has worked.

I have also tried ear plugs but they still don't stop the noise. However, by combining ear plugs and the "Hibermate" I was able to take a two hour nap during the middle of the day with my blinds open, the sun shining in, and those stupid dogs barking with complete silence and total darkness.

I think my wife may want one as well. I live in the US and it took less than a week to arrive, WOW! Thank you mate for making such a great product. This is a really well made with high quality and if you have annoying dogs next door then you want this product.

Here is to sleeping well again.

Hi Chris-

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how wonderful your Hibermate product is. I have Fibromyalgia and, because of my full time teaching job, I often take afternoon naps on the weekend. I always use my Hibermate to block out the light. It has become an object of comfort for me and I can't nap without it!! I also travel with.

I am thinking of ordering one for a friend to include in a relaxation gift basket.

Thanks for the product.

Dear Chris & Lib,

My hibernate arrived just shy of a week, just as promised. I have been using it about a week now, and noticed the difference in my sleep the first day. (I work 12 hr. night shifts) I used to wake up about 2 hours too early and not be able to go back to sleep. I am certain now that it must have been the effect of the afternoon light. The first day I used it I was able to sleep 2 hrs. longer than usual, and when I first woke up I hadn’t a clue as to whether it was 2am or high noon; the mask is THAT dark.

Also the comfort level far surpasses the mask I was using, and it does not slide off. I am still surprised when I find I have slept 7 hrs., not 4 or 5. It is truly a great product. I am thinking of ordering a few more as Christmas gifts for my night shift working friends.

Sincerely, Barbara G. Michigan/USA

We just wanted to say that your product is wonderful. We were a bit uncertain about ordering something from a company which we found through a Google search and which is located overseas, but it was well worth the uncertainty and wait. Living in the city where all of the lights make it daylight 24/7, your sleep mask has allowed us to have a decent night's sleep for the first time in years. We also weren't so sure about sleeping with the ear part, but it is quite comfortable. After many years of cheap sleeping masks, yours is like an incredible luxury.

Thank you!

Hey Chris,

I own, and use every morning, a hibermate. I was telling one of my swingshift co-workers about the Hibermate!

Your sleep mask has been a life saver. When I went to swing shift I used to have to keep my bedroom like a cave to sleep later in the morning. In the summer, it got stiflingly hot. Now I sleep with all the windows open and if the neighborhood noise overpowers my backyard pond/waterfall, I simply adjust the ear muffs and go back to sleep.

Thank you oh so much!

Hello-- just got my Hibermate today and just in time-- had a terrible migraine and it worked beautifully to keep out the light that aggravates the headache while I rested and let the medicine take effect. Just want to be sure of the care-- I know it is washable, but is it best to hand wash? Machine? warm? cold? I want to be sure to treat it well! I know I need to remove the ear pads first.

Thanks so much

Thanks for the follow up email. You exihibted a dying talent... customer service!

I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner to this message,
but you know, life happens and there you are.

Anyway, the sleep mask performs great! I recently
began a new position on 3rd shift and since the
afternoon sun barges into my bedroom windows, this
mask was a much welcome tool for rest! I did not so
much need the ear muffs as the darkening ability of
the Hibermate, but it's good to know I have them if I
need them (like after school is out this summer and
the neighborhood kids are being.... vocal, shall we
say!).

Thanks again. I love the sleep mask!

...by the way, your eye masks are ABSOLUTELY the BEST! I have tried MANY other types and NONE compare to yours with regard to comfort and total darkness. My husband works nights and sleeps days and has "stolen" my mask, so I have to get another! I have given them as gifts and everyone loves them as well!

I find it even more comfortable if I turn it inside out and wear the silky side against my face and the fleecey side out. Just my preference!

Thanks again for your help and keep up the great work on the masks!

She's looking forward to using it on her cruise to Alaska (where it's light 18 hours a day in May!) I will recommend your company to anyone I know looking for a quality sleep mask.

p.s.

I just sent you an email, but I forgot to mention this PS:  This picture is not very flattering.  I think the mask looks much better in person.  This photo makes it look lumpy, but it's not.  (That's part of the reason I was so pleasantly surprised when I got the mask - it doesn't look like this picture!) I like the picture of the red one on your homepage better.

What are the chances you will remember me out of the thousands of enquiries you receive?! I bought a Hibermate mask from you about two years ago and wanted to know if you shipped to South Africa.

Anyway, I am extremely pleased with my mask and want to order one for my daughter in South Africa. Would you ship it there and what would be the cost?
I really enjoy the mask, it's accompanied me on a few trips to and from South Africa and to and from the UK, so it's well travelled!!

If you ever want a representative in South Africa, just let me know!

Hi Chris

I just received the mask and wore it for the first time last night. What a treat! I thought I might not like the ear pads since they might feel uncomfortable on the pillow, but they were great. The extra advantage in this colder weather of winter is that they keep my ears warm. I didn't think the sound muffling aspect would be that helpful, but it was. I slept more soundly because of the added soundproofing, sort of like having a blanket over my ear, it takes off the 'edge' of any noises in the environment.

I've been wearing a Bed, Bath and Beyond (U.S. chain store) sleep mask for about a year, and had grown used to its uncovered elastic band irritating my ears. Your mask was like being in a dream, even before I went to sleep! So soft....a complete head wrap that stays on and doesn't slide around. Wow! Anyway, I'm one SOLD customer. I'll probably be ordering a few of these for holiday gifts. I can't see how anyone who already uses a cheaper mask would be anything but happy to receive one of your 'upgrades'. Thanks much.

I just finished ordering my second hibermate sleep mask. I purchased  my first one about three years ago, when I began working nights as an  EMT. I have always been a morning person, and I knew it would be difficult for me to adjust to sleeping during the day. I did not want to put dark blinds and curtains in my bedroom, so I thought a mask might be better. I had no idea how much I would come to depend on the hibermate for a good days rest. The ear pillows have been wonderful  to block out noises that would otherwise wake me, and the mask stays put very well to block out light. Anyway, I could go on and on, but I wanted to thank you for a making such a wonderful product.

Hi Chris,

I received my mask a few days ago and I'd like to make a couple of points...

1. The Hibermate was, without question, the best sleep mask I've ever worn.

2. The Hibermate was the first sleep mask I was actually able to sleep in.

3. Instead of hot, sticky satin on the inside, the cotton felt like the inside of a clean, old, comfortable sweatshirt, actually lulling me to sleep.

Thanks for all your research and development, your efforts have gone into making perhaps the best sleepmask out there.

Dear Chris,

I absolutely love my new sleep mask. It is so soft and dark, and so comfortable. But the best part, and the reason I ordered it is because it helps me so much by blocking out light and muffling noise when I’m having a one of my horrible migraines. Thank you!

I have a question, or perhaps a suggestion: do you have any plans for coming out with a similar mask with gel pack inserts? When I’m having a migraine headache, it would feel so good to have something cool as well as dark around my eyes. I was thinking that somehow you could waterproof the inside lining, and then make it possible, maybe by Velcro closures, for the person to insert the gel pack(s) that they have either frozen in their freezer, or heated up in the microwave (in case they’d rather have something warm against their face, like for sinus problems or colds). I’ve seen other products that do this on the internet, but none of them that I’ve found have removable gel packs. You either heat up or freeze the entire mask, but none of them appeared to block the light as efficiently.

My guess is that you could make a bunch of money if you can come up with one like I’ve suggested and market it to the migraine community. If you do, can I have a royalty for the suggestion?? :)

Kind regards,

Amy

Please do post my message on your site. Anything I can do to help your company! I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I haven't slept this well in a long time. I have nerve damage down my right leg, so it's difficult for me to sleep soundly. The pain wakes me up when I sleep lightly. I've slept better these past few days than I have in months. I feel better and have more energy. Your sleep masks are WONDERFUL! Have a great vacation--all of you deserve it.

Hi Chris,

How is it going these days on your side of the Earth? Well, I hope. Here the weather is totally weird. Today it was so hot that I was barely able to move. At the place where I work, they told us that exceptionally we can remove our ties because of the hot weather :)

Anyway, I am writing you, because something weird happened. I have just found in my post box the first mask that you sent me on the 13 of June!!! What a surprise! The story is even more crazy because this morning, at my work place, I have found a letter from the post announcing the arrival of the Second mask for which apparently they will try to make me pay some taxes (apparently they think that it is the Bank of New York that ordered the mask and not a private person :)) . Anyway, the important thing is that both masks seem to be somewhere in Belgium....I almost lost faith to see them.....

In this sense, I authorize you to bill my credit card for your expenses related to the second mask. I do not want you to suffer losses because of the incompetence of the Belgium Post office. You are a reliable person and in this sense you do not deserve that. So, just advise me how much I owe you and once I give you my accord on the amount, you can bill the card.

I hope that I have not caused too many problems with all this story...Next time someone from Belgium orders a mask, tell him to be really patient :)

Take care,

I received my order last week for a Hibermate sleep mask. I was extremely hesitant to buy a sleep mask, convinced it would either slip off, or I would pull it off due to being uncomfortable in the middle of the night. That said, I decided I had to do something, so did some online digging and found your product, which looked to be of much better quality than I'd seen anywhere else - and at a reasonable price.

I lived in Canada's Arctic where it's CONSTANTLY sunny during the summer months. Today the sun rose at 3:54am and will set tonight at 23:20, but truly, it never gets dark this time of year. For years I have gone to bed with the sun shining on my face, sleep with it shining and wake up with it shining on my face. For the past few nights I have had a dark night's sleep in total comfort. The Hibermate mask is incredibly comfortable and finally lets me rest. Sure, I probably look like an alien if I leave the sound muffler ear covers on...but even THEY are comfortable! Astounding!

Thanks for creating a wonderful product and for speedy shipping from across the planet. I will definitely be recommending the Hibermate to others!

Dear Hibermate,
    I just had to e-mail you about your Hibermate masks.  I ordered 2, one for my husband, one for me.  I have been using sleep masks since I was very young.  I have tried many different styles but, they always let the light in and I found that they usually slip off shortly after I fall asleep.  I can't tell you how satisfied we are with our masks.  They are so comfortable and let no light in.  They also don't fall off at all!!  My husband and I both work nights so these masks are a miracle to us.  We can never thank you enough.  I would also like to say that the price is more than fair and they were shipped to us  faster than I thought!!
Thanks again!!,

2. your heaven-sent eye relief
3. your innovative creativeness
4. your kindness

I had been suffering terrible sensitivity to light and sound and finding myself awakening every few hours. That is, until I put on Hibermate and felt the joy of blissful pitch dark escape.

Can't wait to use it this weekend when the kids have a slumber party. I will also gratefully place it on my throbbing head during that sensitive woman's monthly time. It will be nice to duck into darkness to meditate too. A vacation from my sensitivity.

Thank you so much.

All the best,

Ave Chris,

My Carer/Friend and I are so delighted with 'Hibermate' sleep masks that I have just re-ordered (#607018). I am retired and have  'Delayed Sleep Syndrome' (DSP), meaning I am 'up all night' and sleep thro' the day. This has been a problem exacerbated by having young neighbours, as 'would-be DJ's', who appear to think that my adjacent flat was designed  solely for acting as a resonant sound-box for amplifying the extra-low bass frequency of their respective Hi-Fi equipment, i.e.,despite having been served repeatedly with 'Noise-abatement' orders and threats of eviction by the Local Council! 

However, this situation has been greatly eased by using 'Hibermate' Sleep Masks, together with additional proprietary 'earplugs'. I now have darkness, comfort and virtually total silence.

So, many thanks for these products which are effective, economical and swiftly delivered from across world at such low carriage cost.   

Hey Chris! I'm really surprised at myself in writing this somewhat 'crawly' email, but it IS a genuine testimonial for products that cannot be obtained here in the UK - unbelievable!!

Incidentally, have you considered adding 'earplugs' to your range as an optional accessory ?
  

Felicitas atque pax tecum,

Dear Chris,

I recently ordered the Hibermate (order # 547063) and I am really pleased with it.  Like others on your website, I was amazed at the speed of delivery.  I wanted you to know that I plan to put the sleep mask to a slightly different use than the advertised one.  You are missing out on a whole new category of clients! 

I don't have a problem sleeping, but I do get occasional migraine headaches.  If you don't know, one of the hallmark symptoms of a migraine headache is light and noise sensitivity.  It doesn't take much light to hurt your head during a migraine.  The light filtering in a shade-covered window at night will do it!   In the past, I have covered my eyes with arms, socks, blankets, anything I could get hold of.  The Hibermate will work perfectly and be absolutely dark!!!  The ear covers will muffle sound as well and help with that, too!

I have not had a headache since I received the Hibermate, but I tried it on and believe it will really help when the next one hits.  During a headache, you can lie down in a quiet room, but it is hard to shut out ALL light.  So, even though I haven't put the mask to the ultimate test yet, I really think I have found a great solution in your product.

Feel free to use this on your testimonial page.  I'm sure there are a lot of migraine sufferers who could appreciate the Hibermate!  Thanks for a quality product.  I'll let you know how it worked after the next headache!!

Sincerely,
Sandra Ragle

I will leave some type of feedback at the Hibermate website if you have a place for me to do so!  I am very pleased with the customer service and the product!

Have a nice day!

This one's from Wendy, unfortunately her parcel was delayed due to the new postage security regulations that had just been implemented. It caught us by surprise at the time but it's under control now and all parcels are arriving on time.

20th Jan 2003

...Anyway, I just wanted you to know that it did get to me. I'm giving it to my husband tonight. I know he will love it. Please go ahead and charge my card. You refunded me and sent another mask and the delay was not your fault.

Thanks again for the great customer service!

Dear Chris,

I would be delighted to have you put my words on your website.  In a world with lots of promises and hype, quickly followed by disappointment, you are refreshingly honest, sell a quality product, and deliver everything you say you will.  It was wonderful being able to write a letter in praise for a change.

Hi Chris,

Just wanted to let you know I received the masks last Friday, and I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   It is so comfortable and soft (and dark)!!!!  Yahoo!!!  I’m thrilled to have a good one.  I’m going to give my sister the other one I ordered, and I will probably be ordering more. 

Thanks again for sending them so quickly.  You’ve got a great product!

Best regards,

Peggy

(I asked Peggy if it would be ok to include her sentiments on this page and her answer is below...)

It would be absolutely fine with me to post my sentiments – I’d be honored.  By the way, I’m still LOVING my mask!!!!  I have a couple of people who are interested in purchasing them.  Are there any colors on sell right now?

Hope you had a great holiday season!!

Dear Chris

The hibermate is the best sleeping mask I have ever had.  I have ordered one for my father as well.

Thanks, Lisa

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your quick response about the shipping. Yes, I'd be happy to be on the testimonial page of your website, because hibermate really does all you say. My husband is a loud snorer and I am a light sleeper. You can imagine how happy I was to find that the 'earmuffs' really do quiet the sound. I really love your product. This is a replacement order as I accidentally left my last one on the plane during our last vacation. It really works and is very comfortable.

Sincerely,

Dear Sir:

Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much I like your Hibermate sleep mask and that I may have drummed you up some new customers.  I ended up not having to work graveyard shift but I still use it to sleep in on the weekend.

Dear Chris,

What a GREAT product you have. The delevery was fast, even from "down under", and the personal greeting was very nice. The mask completely covers the area under your eyes so no light comes thru and it is so comfortable. I plan to order more for Christmas.

Thanks,

14th Sept 2002 - This one's from Melissa in California who had a problem with the sizing - I thought I'd post both her emails because they're really nice!

Chris,

I just received the new, smaller sleep mask you found for me.  It's absolutely PERFECT!!!  Thank you so much for finding that or creating that or whatever you did for me. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.  Your service and response is impeccable and certainly does not go unnoticed. 

Sincerely,

Melissa

-------------------------------------------------------------

Chris,

You are more than welcome to post my email.  I want everyone to know how incredible your personal service is.  If only we had that kind of service here in the states.  You can guarantee that I will give the other one as a gift and tell everyone about your exceptional product and the exact same about your service.  Once again.......Thank You!!

Good luck with all your future endeavors.

Dear Chris,

Just an addition to your testimonials! I've been using my new Hibermate mask for a week now, and I am delighted! I'm sleeping much better than before. The mask is extremely comfortable and doesn't "dig in" like the ones with more rigid edges do. Since I have fibromyalgia, it is important that I sleep as deeply and with as little interruption as possible. To that end, we often unplug the telephone in our bedroom so I won't be disturbed by it. The Hibermate is helping me get that deep sleep that I need for muscle healing, and I notice less pain and stiffness in the mornings. Thank you very much for your quick and efficient shipment. I'm telling all my "fibro-friends" about Hibermate, and hope they *all* will get Hibermates for themselves! Cheerio!

Dear Chris,

Received my hibermate on thursday 4th July, and am over the moon with it. I have worn sleep masks for a few years as I do shift work and none that I have found have ever blocked as much light out as the Hibermate. Not only that it  was soft and the ear pillows are great. I now cant wait for bed time each night, and rather stay asleep than get up. Thanks! I am also going to order some of the diffferent colours, and will definatley pass the word on to other people that I work with

Your Sincerely

Just so you know, your Hibermate is excellent.  My wife is going
to deliver our first baby any day now, and has been having
trouble sleeping.  That problem was fully eliminated when she
received the Hibermate.  Thanks for such a great product!

....your masks are amazing.  It is like going into a cave.  I am such an insomniac and I go down into this incredible sleep now.  My son loves his -  He is a musician and needs to sleep during the day.  Several of my clients are overnight radio hosts and the 4 more I ordered are for them.  I can only imagine the brownie points I am going to get!

It is an excellent product and I looked around for a long time.  Even purchased those absurd eye-pillows , which fall of your face and run out of scent.

(This is one of my favourites, a great story and well worth the read)

Chris,

Thank you for the speedy delivery of the sleep mask I ordered from you.
 I have been a police officer for 30 years, and have always had trouble
sleeping on graveyard.  I have found that the sleep mask helps me get
the rest I need. 

In 1968, I was in Soc Trang in the Delta of Vietnam.  Our small outpost
was surrounded and we were completely cut off from everything.  We had
nothing coming in, no food, no mail, no beer!  Every time a plane tried
to land on our runway, it was motored, so planes just didn't come in.
 We eventually needed supplies, especially the food and mail from home
(for our morale). We were told by our brass that pilots were asked to
volunteer for a mission that would be dangerous, but we needed to be
supplied.  One of the greatest days of my life was when, standing in
line for some more C-Rations, we heard the sound of planes.  We looked
up to see two cargo planes (C-130's I believe) making approachs to our
runway.  We could see the red Kangaroo on the tail of each plane and
knew that Australian pilots were flying them.  Each plane made the cargo
drop by just touching down, then gunning it so the front lifted up high
and the cargo was then pushed out the back on giant paletts.  The
mortors were dropping, and it was like out of a Speilberg movie.  We all
cheered.  We had food, mail from home, and best of all, beer -
Australian beer (with the Kangaroo on it!) that we couldn't chill, but
it was still the best beer I will ever have.  I hope those pilots and
their crew received medals - they deserved it.

Thanks again for the Hibermate!

I just had the best night's sleep I have had in years thanks to the
Hibermate sleep mask. Normally the 5AM sunrise and chirping birds wake
me up. Now I can sleep as late as I want. Believe it or not my wife
thinks I look sexy when I wear it "Who was that masked man"? 

Once again, many, many thanks,

Hi Chris,
FYI...I received the masks on Saturday, May 11.  They are absolutely
wonderful!  Arizona is very dry and HOT (we had 104 degrees on Monday) and
to keep cool I use a ceiling fan in the bedroom.   Problem is, it dries my
eyes.  So come morning time its painful to open my eyes.  I use an ointment
still, but hope to eventually eliminate the use of it.  The mask is
non-binding and heatless to wear.  This is the most comfortable mask.  I'm
happy that I don't wakeup with a brain squeeze.  Yesterday, I gave my friend
her's and she loves it too!  I told her to wait till she uses it, but she
said that she could already tell. 

Thank you for such a wonderful product at a reasonable price.

Chris,

...and yes, you have my permission to quote my words in your web page (as well
as my professional position, if you like: Reader in Philosophy at the
University of Murcia). In fact you can also quote this: "IT IS THE ONLY
SLEEP MASK I KNOW THAT TRULY PREVENTS 100% LIGHT FROM COMING IN, AND
AFTER LONG SEARCHING IN THE WWW I HAVE FOUND NOTHING WHICH CAN COMPARE
TO IT, IN REGARD TO LIGHT BLOCKING, NOISE BLOCKING AND COMFORT".

Once again thank you, and congratulations for your company.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Chris:
   I greatly appreciate your consideration.  Please feel free to use my
comments about the Hibermate, if you wish.  I have grown quite fond of the
one I purchased some time ago.  Not only is is more comfortable, and keeps
out the light better than the masks I once used, but I love the fact that it
is so sturdy and machine-washable.  Again, thanks.

 Dear Chris,

 I just wanted to let you know that I finally completed my order and my
 husband in America received his hibermate yesterday. He absolutely loves
 it! He does research at the University of Kentucky and also is doing a
 doctorate degree in theoretical computation; often he has trouble
 sleeping at night due to annoying house sounds or neighbors security
 lights, but yesterday he called and said that your invention works
 wonders! It is comfortable and effective!
 Thanks so much from another satisfied customer!

Hello Chris,

My Hibermate arrived yesterday (Wednesday, Canada time).  I am very impressed
with how effectively it blocks out the light.  It is also very comfortable.  I
imagine that there are people all over Australia riding on buses, planes and
trains wearing Hibermates!

Once again, thank you for the excellent service you provided to me.

Cheers,

Martha

If you've made it this far, well you deserve to see some bloopers! I'll case these by saying that we're human, we make the rare mistake from time to time and are more than happy to admit, own up to and rectify with the very minimum of fuss when ever possible!

Here goes...(we've taken the names off to protect the innocent)

Hello,
 
I received the two masks yesterday.  Unfortunately, the green one is
defective.  It lacks the sewn in velcro (it has the stretchable nylon strap
with the velcro square, but not the long, sewn velcro strip to fasten the
mask).  It was never sewn into the mask when it was manufactured.
 
Please advise how to go about exchanging/returning this mask for another.
Please note that any color mask is acceptable if  a properly made green mask
is not available.  In addition, I would like to purchase two more black
masks.  Happily, the mask that was properly made is the best sleep mask I
have ever used.  I would like to give them to my best friends!
Please bill the same credit card for $39.90 US (approximate), and ship to
the same address.  Thanks again,

XXXXX

and this

Please credit my visa card number XXXX in the name of XXXXXXX wth an expiration date of XX/XX. I am returning the item as it was a christmas present for my wife who gave it back to me un-opened on Christmas day and announced she was leaving.

Many thanks

XXXX
