MANTA PRO | The Sleep Mask Built Like Performance Gear

What's Happening?

Sleep is no longer a luxury in the performance world. It’s leverage.

And if you’re serious about training, building, competing, or simply operating at a high level — your sleep setup matters just as much as your supplements, shoes, or software.

Enter the MANTA PRO Sleep Mask — built less like an accessory, and more like a piece of performance equipment.

‍

The Problem With Most Sleep Masks

Most sleep masks do one of three things:

• Block light but crush your eyelids
• Feel soft but leak light
• Work on your back but fail on your side

For athletes, founders, travelers, and light sleepers, that tradeoff doesn’t work.

MANTA PRO was engineered to eliminate compromise.

‍

Built for Side Sleepers

If you’re a side sleeper, you already know the struggle. Traditional masks press into your face, shift around, or wedge between your head and pillow.

MANTA PRO’s proprietary C-shaped eye cups sit completely flat against your temples — not your eyes.

There’s:

• Zero pressure on eyelids or lashes
• Nothing bulky between your head and pillow
• No shifting when you change positions

It feels like wearing nothing at all.

‍

True 100% Blackout — In Any Environment

Performance sleep starts with darkness.

The PRO’s C-shaped cups create a full blackout seal, even in broad daylight. But here’s the innovation: a smart internal “air bubble” system.

• It expands to block light when you move
• It compresses flat when you lie on your side
• It maintains total blackout without adding bulk

You never sacrifice comfort for darkness.

And darkness = deeper sleep cycles, better recovery, sharper cognition.

Zero Eye Pressure

A small detail with massive impact.

Most masks rest directly on your eyelids. MANTA PRO floats around your eyes — not on them.

That means:

• No lash compression
• No eyelid irritation
• No micro-disruptions during REM

For light sleepers especially, this is a game changer.

‍

Advanced Material Science = Cooler Sleep

Recovery thrives in a cool environment. Overheating kills deep sleep.

MANTA PRO is built with:

• Ventilation holes and perforated materials for 360° airflow
• A slim, perforated strap for maximum breathability
• Tactel® interior fabric — 2x softer, 3x more durable, 8x faster drying than typical materials

Even the logo cutouts are breathable. This isn’t marketing fluff. It’s engineering for temperature regulation.

‍

Designed to Stay Put — Without Crushing Your Ears

The angled, anti-slip strap sits above your ears — not on them.

That means:

• No ear pressure
• No rubbing
• No slipping in the middle of the night

The grippy gel ensures it stays locked in — without feeling tight.

And it’s infinitely adjustable, so you can dial in a fit that feels custom to your face.

Why This Matters for Athletes

At Playbook HQ, we look at products through one lens:

Does this improve performance?

Better sleep improves:

• Recovery speed
• Hormone regulation
• Cognitive function
• Reaction time
• Mood and stress resilience

For endurance athletes, strength athletes, team sport players, and operators — sleep is a competitive advantage. MANTA’s mission is simple. Empower light sleepers to sleep better so they can do more.

They believe great sleep is the non-negotiable foundation for unlocking your potential. We agree.

The Playbook Take

The MANTA PRO isn’t just a sleep mask.

It’s recovery infrastructure. I've been using the Sleep Mask PRO since early December and can say I'm a huge fan without any hesitation.

In a world where people spend thousands on recovery tech, sometimes the highest ROI tool is the one that protects your deep sleep every single night. If naps beat coffee — and sleep beats everything — this might be one of the simplest performance upgrades you can make.

Sleep harder. Train better. Live sharper.
