# Seat-Strapped Eye Masks The Eclipse Travel Accessory Helps You Nap Comfortably in Transit By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-14 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-eye-mask References: [quirky](http://www.quirky.com/products/265-Eclipse-eye-mask) There are three major factors that make the difference between a good and a bad sleep on a bus, a train or an airplane. These are all assisted by the Eclipse Eye Mask, with the way that it [blocks out light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dore-rose), [muffles surrounding sounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/somnipods-3) and increases your comfort in an unavoidably awkward posture. Made by Quirky, the [travel mask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satin-sleep-mask) is softly padded with open cell foam and PP webbing and covered in knit jersey material. It's been stitched so that it's a sufficiently broad band with a notch for your nose and extended flaps to cover your listeners. One of the most clever features of the Eclipse Eye Mask is, however, the accompanying velcro strap that allows you to basically fasten your noggin to your headrest to keep your body still and your neck strain-free. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Light-blocking Eye Masks:** The Eclipse Eye Mask demonstrates the trend of using eye masks to block out light for better sleep during travel. - **Noise-cancelling Travel Accessories:** The Eclipse Eye Mask highlights the trend of incorporating noise-cancelling features into travel accessories for a more peaceful travel experience. - **Enhanced Comfort Travel Products:** The Eclipse Eye Mask exemplifies the trend of creating travel products that prioritize comfort during long journeys. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel Accessories:** The Eclipse Eye Mask presents an opportunity for the travel accessories industry to innovate and create more functional and comfortable eye masks for travelers. - **Sleep Aid Products:** The Eclipse Eye Mask opens up possibilities for the sleep aid products industry to develop innovative solutions that improve sleep quality in various settings. - **In-flight Comfort Solutions:** The Eclipse Eye Mask suggests an opportunity for the in-flight comfort solutions industry to develop products that optimize comfort and relaxation during air travel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pocket-Sized Travel Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matador-blackout-sleep-mask-earplugs.md) - [Face-First Flight Rest Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rest-aid.md) - [Posture-Aligned Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeper-hold-travel-pillow.md) - [Sensory Deprivation Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-travel-pillow.md) - [Blackout Napping Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau.md) - [Neck-Safe Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau-tne-s3.md) - [Weighted Eye Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weighted-eye-mask.md) - [Eyelash-Friendly Sleep Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyelash-protecting-eye-masks.md) - [Soothing Smart Sleeping Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-sleep-mask.md)
