Abstract
The eye covering includes an elongated sleeve filled with media, such as beads. The sleeve is divided into separate cells. Preferably two central cells are provided for covering the eyes with two lateral cells provided for covering ears. End structures on the sleeve are configured with a retainer to allow the end structures to be attached together. One form of retainer is a slit in one of the end structures. The other end structure is fed through this slit so that the sleeve is formed into a circuit which can fit around the head. Another optional retainer includes a loop, such as a tag, joined to one of the end structures with a gap beneath the tag. A strap can join lateral edges of the eye covering to provide a sleep mask embodiment.
