Hello Joe,
I have had
migraine headaches all my adult life and I have used eyemasks for
years, but when I needed one this time I decided to look for something
different. I kept running into recommendations for the
Dreamhelmet everywhere. Well, we got our two yesterday in the
mail. I used it last night and it is the best sleep I ever
got!!
The
Dreamhelmet is high quality and made to last I can recommend them to
everyone.

Joe,
I love the Dreamhelmet. I've had one for
three years now and getting one for a friend who just had a baby! She
will be needing some extra sleep.
Allison - Canada
Dear Joe,
It was great
talking to you on the phone,
Just want to
let you know the Dreamhelmets you sent are perfect and I am going to
buy a couple for my parents.
Best regards,
Karen
Hi Dreamhelmet Guys!
I've had a Dreamhelmet sleep mask for over two years
and it is the best thing that I ever bought on the Internet.
I love it so much that I take it everywhere! In fact, I bet
it's been around the world twice! I'm buying them for some
friends for Christmas and I know they're going to love them.
After you’ve tried the best (Dreamhelmet)
forget the rest!
Jean
Hi Joe,
I'm pleased
to say my Dreamhelmet arrived quickly and I've had a chance to test it
out over the last few nights.
I want you to
know how completely brilliant I think it is. I use it for an
afternoon nap and woke up thinking it was the middle of the night. A
million thanks for a super product. I love it!
All the best,
Andy
Hi Joe,
I purchased my Dreamhelmet some six months
ago. I am a night shift worker and never slept well during
the day, but the Dreamhelmet has changed all that I'm able to sleep
whenever I want to.
I do use the supplied earplugs which, by the way,
are the most comfortable that I have ever used. All this
gives me great sleep, however light or noisy it gets outside my bedroom
door.
Thanks again,
Lawrence - UK
Joe,
Thanks so
much for the prompt service, and you are so right. The
wonderful comfy pillow allowed me to sleep in for the first time in
weeks.
Thanks again,
I will definitely be recommending you to others.

Dear Joe,
Thanks for the Dreamhelmet which arrived very
promptly. It does what it says in the advertising. It really does block
noise and light and provide a comfy pillow.
The pillow earplugs, mask, and clock combination are
fantastic. Great product and great service!
Henry
Dear Joe,
Our
Dreamhelmets arrived last weekend - thanks so much! They are really
comfortable. We are really looking forward to trying them out
on our next camping trip and sleeping in an extra hour or two.
A lot of
imagination went into these things!
Chris J.
Hey Dreamhelmet Guys,
I have been using sleep masks for years but the
Dreamhelmet is much better than what I've been using. It does not
irritate my ears like other masks did. Just thought you would
like to know.
Thanks very much.
Peter - Sweden
Joe,
I just tried
out the Dreamhelmet -- it works great! At the same time I'm
glad I'm buying something from a company that still makes a product in
America.
Good
show!
Joe
– Detroit, MI
Thanks, I love your sleep mask. It really
brings together the best of everything! I somehow let my old one out of
my sight and lost it on vacation. I'm so glad to get the new
one -- I love the color too (Blue Heaven).
Della
Joe,
Just a
followup. My Dad loves your mask. We will probably be placing
another order in the near future for my brother who also works at night
and sleeps in the daytime.

Joe,
I recently purchased a sleep best for you and have
been using for about six months the mask is very effective sleep aid,
but I have one question. I have seen other masks that claimed to do the
same as the Dreamhelmet, that is block light and sound, but your
website claims you have a patent. What gives?
Paul – Lawrence, KS
(reply:)
Paul,
We do have a patent. Ours is the world's
first sleep mask to block light and sound. Ours is a utility
patent; the strongest kind. Any other product that tries to copy our
product does must find a loophole in our patent or they cannot legally
sell in the US or Canada.
There are a couple of products marketed on internet
that we believe infringe on our patent. Hopefully, we will be able to
collect damages sometime in the future.
Joe Hart
To
Dreamhelmet
I received my
mask and love it. I took a nap today and the light didn't
bother me. I use the earplugs also, as it really cuts out the
sounds of my wife snoring. The Dreamhelmet combined with its
earplugs really stops the sound!
Thank you
again for a great product.
Frank -

Joe,
I am writing to
thank you again for sending me the Dreamhelmet. It was so
fast. It works very well to keep out the lights and sound
completely. It does what it's supposed to do and is so
comfortable!
Thanks again!
Allie
Dear Jim,
You have
created a very high quality sleep mask because it allowed my husband to
sleep "like an angel" as he put it. And he isn't normally
like that. I think that the comfortable pillow makes you feel
like you were in your own little world and is actually very comforting.
I bought one
of your fabulous Dreamhelmets to go traveling two years ago and I've
been delighted with it. I still use it regularly as it is so
comfortable!
All the best!
Mrs Reese -

Dear Sirs,
Your sleep mask is now essential for me as I am a
nurse and work the overnight shift. I really love your product and feel
is one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
Gwen – Calgary, Canada
My husband
and I both have had a chance to put our Dreamhelmets to use and we love
them. We will definitely pass on or what a great product it is to
friends and family. Your friendly service has made our
purchase even more enjoyable.
Holly
Dreamhelmet Staff,
The Dreamhelmet was a gift for my Mom’s
birthday and she’s really very happy with it. Thank
you for such a great product! We received it so quickly I was
astounded! Thanks very much. When I'm ready to take my trip
I’ll get myself one too.
Lisa - Chicago, IL
Dear Joe,
I
bought the Dreamhelmet a couple of months ago and have been sleeping
very well with its help. When looking for in the Internet I
almost ordered one where the ads said it blocked 50% of the sound. The
Dreamhelmet looked more substantial, so I decided to get
yours. I thought you had a patent on the Dreamhelmet concept,
but the other company that he has a patent too. What's up
with that?
Marcos
– New Jersey, USA
(reply:)
Marcos,
Thanks
for your interest in the Dreamhelmet, and for your letter.
That's a very good question.
We do have a utility patent – the strongest kind of patent..
Jim
de Cordova was the first in the world to come up with the idea of
combining a sleep mask with sound blocking. The pillow portion which
carries the sound-blocking material completes the comfort (touch) part
of the three-part idea (blocking sight, hearing, touch).
Some
time after Jim’s patented invention was made public, a couple
of people got the bright idea of just leaving off the pillow (touch)
part and trying to devise a sleep mask that also, somehow, blocked some
sound. Both of the products we know of are partial knockoffs inspired
by Jim’s invention.
As
far as their claims to block 50% of sound; I can say that, without
earplugs, that number is a fabrication, as are their claims of product
originality. In my opinion, figures more like 5-25% sound blocking
(depending on which product) would be more realistic.
The
patent that you mentioned is only a design patent. This means he
legally can only make and sell the one item you see on his website. It
has almost nothing over the ears; it blocks almost no sound.
Joe
Hart
Joe,
I've tried many sleeping masks in the
past but most are just too flimsy to do the job. The
Dreamhelmet mask is sturdy and comfortable. It truly cuts out
the light. The concept of dimming light and sound all wrapped up in the
cozy pillow works so well for me, I'm amazed someone didn't think of it
before. It is pure genius! You have a lifetime
customer!
Phil, from Philly, PA
Bob,
I
used the Dreamhelmet last night and had the best sleep I've had in a
long time. I usually wake up two to three times in the night and
usually about an hour before the alarm rings. With the Dreamhelmet and
the alarm watch you sent I stopped being nervous and slept right
through. Your little alarm woke me up gently and right on time! Getting
enough sleep puts me on a natural high!
Dave
Jim,
I'm a hiker and a camper and two years
ago I bought the Dreamhelmet and use it often, but sometimes I keep
forget to take it with me when I go out. So, as extra protection I
ordered two more - one for my car and one for my pickup. You have
invented a special product for the outdoors
Neil -- Oregon
To
Dreamhelmet,
I'm
pleased to see the Dreamhelmet is such a high quality
product. Intelligently designed and well made in the USA.
Unfortunately not very many products can make the same claims nowadays.
I've
been sleeping much, much better thanks to you guys.
Stefan
- Las Vegas, NV
To whom it may concern
Thank you for creating such a neat
product. I bought a Dreamhelmet from you a few months ago and
liked it so much that I got one for my brother too. I’d
probably find it hard to sleep without the Dreamhelmet now.
Anon
Dreamhelmet
Staff,
I
wanted to say thanks for fast service on the Dreamhelmet
order. It got here in time for my trip. I really
slept quite well on the plane with it. I never realized how
much difference a sleep aid that blocks light and sound could make.
I
was the most lively one with the most energy when we started our tour,
thanks to you.
Love
your product!
Vivian

Joe,
I live in Alaska and your Dreamhelmet has made both the long cold winter in the long light summer more like
living life in a normal part of the world. Your sleep mask is
the best there is (but you already know that). The combination of light
and sound blocking with a pillow is a stroke of genius!
Anthony
Dear Joe,
I
am writing to say how much I totally love the Dreamhelmet. The whole
package shows so much thought has gone into this invention. I
especially love the secret pockets. I placed my rings in them
at night put them back on when I wake up. Everybody should
have one!
I
have been using the Dreamhelmet for over two years and it is the
greatest. I'm overly sensitive to noise and light and since
using the helmet have had no trouble at all. I always
remember to take the mask when I wherever I go and I have ordered
several more for gifts.
Thanks
for such a wonderful product!
Matthew
Joe,
I just wanted to write and say thanks
for the efficient service and the super product. It arrived quickly
considering it had to come all the way from the US to
Australia. The Dreamhelmet idea and the product itself is
such a brilliant concept!!
Cheers!
Mandy
Dear Joe,
Just
wanted to drop you a note and let you know that my husband and I are
thoroughly enjoying our Dreamhelmets. We have been able to
get so much extra sleep that we feel wonderful the next day and are
ready to really enjoy life.
PS
- I am a little hesitant to mention it, but suffice it to say that
Martin (my husband) has had more energy at night too –
thanks!!!
Tina
Dear Bob,
I just wanted to thank you for your
awesome customer service. You answered all my questions
perfectly, and I wanted to let you know that the Dreamhelmet is
everything you said it was and more. I have been sleeping so
well with it! I’m going to tell my friends.
Thank you again,
Grace
Dear
Joe,
I
just wanted to write you something you could post on your website if
you wanted. The Dreamhelmet has been wonderful for me and my
family. I am able to take naps on the porch or anywhere else
in the house and not be disturbed by the children. It's made
a great difference in my life and I want to thank you and all those
associated with the production of this wonderful invention.
Greg – Hot
Springs, AR
Dreamhelmet,
Thank you for the fantastic product! It
so much better than I expected and extremely comfortable and well
made. I've actually managed to sleep past eight o'clock all
weekend without anyone disturbing me. What a difference to wake up
naturally!
I'm looking forward to Jim's next
invention! Please let me know.
Howard – New York
Dear
Joe,
Just
wanted to let you know that the mask arrived in time for my trip
without paying the extra for overnight shipping. Tell Bob I
really appreciate his suggestion not to spend the extra
money. The Dreamhelmet is truly a dream come true.
I was able to sleep or a very long flight and I arrived with very
little jet lag for a change.
Thank you so much
Jordan
Joe,
I'm on my third Dreamhelmet and still
going strong. They are durable and well made but I use them
every night and I wash them so frequently so I've been wearing them out.
I love them anyway and hope your company
never goes out of business. I've come to depend on them to get a good
night’s sleep or even a nap during the day. I love your
product and love your company.
Karen
Dear
Sirs,
I’ve
had time now to try out to Dreamhelmet during the day and during the
night and I must say that I am very impressed with it. Your
shady tree theory works like a charm I can hardly hear dogs barking or
any activity outside of my little cocoon. I would just like
to thank you and Jim, the inventor, for making such a fine product.
William
– Ohio
Jim,
I just wanted to say thank you so much
for the Dreamhelmet I slept through till 9 a.m. Barking dogs and
construction work going on all over our neighborhood. How I
wish I'd bought one of these years ago. Now I never go anywhere without
it.
Jerry – Phoenix, AZ
Joe,
Thanks
for much so much for your kind words, it really made my day. The
Dreamhelmet has really revolutionized my life. For the first
time in years I’m able to really recommend a fantastic
product (I didn’t fail to notice you make them in the USA,
too).
After
using the mask for a while I began to realize that many of my health
problems were due to a lack of sleep and I didn't even know
it. Thanks to the Dreamhelmet I think I'm on my way to a
happier, fuller life.
Thanks
a bunch you and the inventor of the Dreamhelmet!
Best
wishes,
Marcy

Dear Dreamhelmet,
I ordered several Dreamhelmets last year
before Christmas. My family loves them. They're
clearly the best sleep aids in existence. I have tried just
about every other silly mask on the market over the past years.
You have great customer service and
product. Our entire family is/are your customers for life.
The Martins
Joe,
Thanks for
your kind words on the phone the other day. I wanted to write and let
you know how much I appreciated the Dreamhelmet. As I said, I
have suffered from insomnia for most of my life and have tried many
ways to improve my sleep. The Dreamhelmet has shown me the
way the extra sleep. Through its “shady
tree” effect it has calmed my mind and soothed my senses so
that I am able to get a lot of extra sleep and I'm feeling much better
every day.
Thank
you again - all the best!
Terry
– Denver, CO
Dreamhelmet Folks,
My sleep mask arrived a week ago, and I
was delighted to see that the pillow was adequate and I was able to fit
most comfortably around my head. The Dreamhelmet is very well
made, and I expect to order one or two more in the near
future.
Many thanks,
Rich - Des Moines, Iowa
Dear
Joe,
I
love the Dreamhelmet for several reasons. The shady tree
effect really works for me and lets me go to sleep faster and sleep
longer and more soundly. Secondly, the secret pockets are
such a great idea for storing my reading glasses so I have zero chance
of breaking or misplacing them. Last, but not least, is the
fact that the ample pillow and facemask keep my hair in place so it
just requires a little brushing out in the a.m. and I'm all ready to
go. Some other sleep masks I used before have thin straps
that tangled in my hair or left an impression in my hair that ran all
the way around my head.
Thanks
for a fine product!
Anna
– San Francisco, CA
Dear Bob,
My doctor diagnosed me with
fibromyalgia. He says that one of the symptoms is tiredness
and pain in various parts of the body. He prescribed some
pills and said that getting more sleep can go a long way toward curing
this problem.
I didn't really understand everything he
told me (he's a foreign doctor) but I did buy one of your Dreamhelmets.
I wanted to let you know that the extra sleep I got with it has really
made a big difference in the way I feel.
You should advertise your Dreamhelmets
at internet sites that have to do with medical problems, and
fibromyalgia in particular. I think you could help a lot of
people.
Sincerely,
Janice -- San Diego, California
To whom it
may concern,
I
noticed on your site that you are giving free Dreamhelmets away to
soldiers and sailors on active duty. I think that is so awesome and I
want to say that I really appreciate it. I don’t
know of any other company on the Internet doing that for our
soldiers.
Best
of luck to you and your business.
Robert
– Oceanside, CA
Dreamhelmet Management,
Dear Sirs,
I want to thank you so much for your
offer on your website to send your Dreamhelmet to soldiers. I
sent one to my son and he wrote back and said that it was a great help
for sleeping on base. He was not allowed to take it with
them in the field but he says everybody asks about it and he
has to hide it so someone doesn’t
“borrow” it
Thanks for your generous offer and your
great product
Sincerely yours
Soldier's Mother
Dear
Joe,
Thanks
for taking my order over the phone. Thanks also for telling
me about the free watch special. I have been trying out the
Dreamhelmet and the alarm watch and it has been helping me sleep and
wake up much better.
I
know when I place the watch in the secret pocket but it will wake me up
on time and I will not oversleep. This takes all the worry
out of sleeping for me. I'm able to get a great night's sleep
and wake up on time, just like your website says.
I
appreciate your wonderful service, products, and freebies. I
will definitely recommend the Dreamhelmet.
Julie
Hey Dreamhelmet!
Just a little feedback to let you know
that you have a wonderful sleep mask. It is comfortable
because it doesn't wrap tightly around my head like some other sleep
masks have. The chinstrap is not confining at all but it does
keep the Dreamhelmet from sliding up over my head. This is a
great design and a superior product. Other sleep masks
with thin straps that go around the head always used to leave
my hair looking terrible in the morning and I could never seem to brush
out that that line in my hair. With the Dreamhelmet I never
have to worry about that.
Thank you
Jean
Dear
Joe,
Wow!
I never tried anything so comfortable. The chinstrap doesn't
let the Dreamhelmet shift at all, even though I don't have to put it
very tight. The pillow is comfortable and actually keeps my
hairdo in place, unlike other sleep masks I have tried where their thin
straps get tangled up in my hair. I'm going to buy a couple
of these for some friends.
Thanks
again
Connie
To whom it may concern,
I'm a truck driver and sleep in my cab
when I get tired and whenever my schedule permits. I find it
a lot easier to get to sleep using the Dreamhelmet. Driving a
truck is a big responsibility - if you go to sleep at the wheel you can
hurt a lot of people, including yourself.
I wish some automobile drivers out there
would get a Dreamhelmet and do the same thing I do. Dozing
off while driving is a major cause of serious highway
accidents. I know you have mentioned that on your website and
I wish it could be made into a big deal for the public.
I worry when I see automobile drivers on
the road zipping in and out of traffic like they were professional race
drivers. Then I see some of them weaving over lanes like they are drunk
or about to go to sleep – or both!
Then later on down the road I see a car
in the ditch or tangled up in a serious accident. About half the time
it’s one of the same cars I saw driving funny before.
If these drivers would just carry a
Dreamhelmet in their car they could take a little nap if they are tired
or a little tipsy – before they get back behind the wheel and
risk their lives.
Thanks for inventing a superior sleep
product.
Karl
PS - I like the secret
pockets. I use them to carry chewing gum and
cash.
Dreamhelmet
People,
We
have a new baby. I have a Dreamhelmet and share it with my wife. We
take turns getting up when baby cries. One of us uses the
Dreamhelmet and sleeps one takes care of the baby - then we trade
off. It really helps us get a lot of extra sleep. I
appreciate this thoughtful product and so does my wife (I hope the baby
does too).
Randy
– Pittsburg, PA
To whom it may concern,
I'm in law enforcement. I work
in and around LA. I pull a lot of night shift work and I see
serious accidents out there on the road every night.
A lot of these accidents could be
avoided if the drivers would not get behind the wheel when they were
tired. I bought one of your Dreamhelmets and it really helps
me to get a little extra sleep whenever I get a break. In
fact, I would rather take a nap than eat donuts (that’s a
joke). It helps me stay extra alert.
In my opinion, it would be a good idea
to make it mandatory that everyone who drives should carry a sleep
device just like the Dreamhelmet. If you go out in a boat and
the Coast Guard stops you, you are required to show that you have a
life vest for every person on board. I think it would be a
great idea to require drivers to carry something that will allow them
to take a nap in case they become tired – and require them to
do so.
I believe we could cut traffic accidents
in half if such a law existed.
I love working in law enforcement, but
it depresses me to see so many lives unnecessarily wrecked when a
simple item like a Dreamhelmet might prevent the accident that caused
it.
