As a generic statement, look for a silk sleep mask. While not often actually silk, they tend to be soft polyester and use fabric filler rather than near-credit-card-grade plastic. (I agree, I don't understand firm sleep-masks) In the photos (I know they're photoshopped these days), look for the mask to actually wrap around the user's face, and look for photos that show the same material on both sides (so you can see that you're not getting a different material on the user's face-side). Look for a bit of gloss to the material so that it appears to be a nice silk-or-polyester. Look for the little plastic clip of an adjustable elastic loop so you can adjust the tension. I definitely have had to play with the elastic tension to get a soft fit.
