Lancashire Textiles Limited Manufacturers of quilts, pillows and homewares | Faux Suede Protective Double Lining Breathable Face Mask

Comfortable to wear, nice colour and nice material. very happy. people look at me in Aldi or Asda when I am there minding my own business wearing my mask, but I feel safer. we all have to do what we can. Thank you to this British Company. It is nice to not have to buy from overseas all the time. Ths is a well made product and I recommend it. Maybe not the most protective mask- I think it is fair to say we all need at least a 3 ply mask, but this is absolutely better than nothing and will give you some protection, if you follow the advice in how you take it off and clean it. (I have a hand steamer around £12, as I suffer from allergic asthma and so use this to clean surfaces ie bedding). and of course still being careful not to touch your face with your hands etc. but I feel this is helping me.

After several bad experiences with imported masks, I decided to order a mask that is UK made. It is not a medical mask, but has two layers of cloth (mine had a thicker velvet-like layer on the front and a thinner cotton layer at the back, near the mouth). In current times (June 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic) this is almost perfect for general use in the UK. The only problem I had was more to do with me than the mask; for some reason, the mask keeps de-attaching itself from my right ear, even though the elastic straps are symmetric and fit fine. It is also a bit expensive, but then it is good to see a UK manufacturer producing masks.

These are a good size, suitable for all adults and comfortable to wear. They are very well made with two layers of material, outer a soft faux suede type material and inner cotton liner. I think they would be just as effective as the basic surgical type masks people wear, but much harder wearing and obviously, washable. They don't have a nose clip but neither do the cheap surgical masks. Glasses do steam up though, but this would happen with all masks which don't have a proper face seal.

This seems well made and material is comfy but I can’t wear it due to the elastic digging in behind my ears. Broader softer elasticated material would have been better for me. Also, as others have said, glasses fog up when wearing but that’s going to happen with any covering without a nose piece I suppose.

This is a nicely made soft fabric mask, washable and comfortable. It fits well, though it does not seal onto the face and is neither medical grade nor industrial grade (and does not claim to be), but it would stop droplets spreading out from coughs and sneezes. Useful as a light form of protection and will not compete with or take away stock from the PPE needed by hospital and care workers. I’ve bought two so that I can swop them into the washing after I’ve been out shopping. I rather wish I’d bought more. I like that it’s made in the U.K. Getting surgical masks from China is unworkable and if they arrive at all there’s no guarantee of quality. If bought direct, there’s a good choice of colours.

I love this mask. It is very well-made, comfortable to wear, and I love the feel of the fabric. However, don't forget that this is a beautiful dust mask. It is lovely and comfortable to wear when cleaning, but I would not feel safe wearing the mask in the hopes of protecting me from a virus. Because of its design, it fits quite loosely and it is only 2 slim layers - outer faux sued and cotton lining. Washes well and still looks good, but the elastic strap does become a little loose after a couple of washes - easily fixed with a knot. Overall, I could not in all honesty recommend this mask to anyone looking for anti-virus protection, but it is not meant for that. Wear it as a dust mask and enjoy it.

I don't think my head is larger than normal. But this mask when worn painfully pulled my ears forward. Sadly I have cursed with big ears to start with. Coupled with a generously proportioned nose as well while wearing this mask I looked like a muffled Dumbo preparing for lift-off. I was relatively certain my weight would have kept me tethered to the ground but I think any high wind situation would have resulted in instability that would have made navigating even the widest of footpaths an issue. As such, I decided to return the item. What makes this irksome is having to pay a percentage of the postage to return the item. I would understand the issue if I were returning the mask just because, or I didn't like the design or something. But I was returning it because it simply didn't fit. The description says the mask will need stretching but realistically no amount of stretching was going to make this mask fit my head. As such, I was returning it based on fitness for purpose. I don't believe I should be penalised for the product not being fit for purpose. Only buy this mask if you are certain that you or the intended recipient's head is smaller than average or you are prepared to pay the cost to find out.

Negatives; the elastic was uncomfortable around the ears to such an extent it was unwareable. The elastic was too tight. Just about covers the face but leaving the chin exposed. There is no nose clip to help secure on the nose. Expensive as an item to have so many things wrong and UK produced. Positives; the delivery was fast. Well assembled apart from wrong dimentions.
