Sleep The Whole 8 Hours With These Blackout Blinds

You were being woken by the Sun through your windows each morning but once you’ve read through this article you’ll know which blackout blinds will have you needing two alarm clocks from sleeping so well.

Remember when it was your birthday and you’d just turned five years old (finally!), rushing through to your parents’ room at half four in the morning. Time for presents.

You had a lot of energy, it was an exciting time to be alive.

You’ve not felt that good in a few years, have you? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. I’ll guide you through bedroom blinds that will have you sleeping like a baby without waking up until the alarm clock decides it’s time for some emotional torment.

Common Traps

A decade ago, I had silver blinds that were made from thin sheets of metal. Apart from looking tacky and somewhat disgusting, their main issue was not functioning as blinds. If I’m buying blinds that are meant to keep the sunlight out, I want blinds that keep the sunlight out.

Naturally, summer was the worst. Where I live it starts to get light at 5am. I was (and am) a simple man. One of the things I tried to avoid as much as possible was getting woken up for work hours before I needed to go to work.

When the opposite kept happening it made me tired and, ultimately, furious a lot of the time. I cursed at the sky a lot.

Let me tell you this – it’s time to buy some proper blinds when you find yourself screaming at the deep space. So, that’s what I did.

I’ve never looked back and I want you to feel as joyous as I do.

What to look for in blinds

I’m going to let my future friends at blinds.com explain in detail about the different types of blackout blinds because they can do much better in a video than I can with words.

I don’t know the presenter, I’m going to call her Kirsty because I can. She does a fantastic job of explaining the difference between light filtering, room darkening and complete blackout blinds.

Your job is to watch the video, educate yourself and decide which type of blind you need for your bedroom.

The blinds that I’m going to show you in the remaining section of this article are the best blackout blinds for your bedroom.

These blackout blinds don’t just shut out every speck of light, oh no. They’re wanted by thousands of people because they enhance the rest of the bedroom too.

Blackout Cellular Shade

I travelled high and low, swam rivers and slid down mountains just to find the perfect blind for you. As it turns out, I didn’t need to do that in the end. It’s just across Internet Avenue to blinds.com.

The Blackout Cellular Shade from Blinds has ridiculously good ratings. Have a look at the number for yourself, I guarantee you’re impressed.

They’re so good they can be used to keep out external light from a dark room used for developing film or photographs so you don’t have to spend money on hiring a studio. If they protect sheets of photosensitive film then they will protect your sleep.

  • Install in 12-15 mins (quicker than waiting for your coffee to cool down)
  • SmartRelease option provide larger blinds with smoother functioning (you won’t be standing at the window yanking the blinds and acting like the strange neighbor of the street)
  • Cordless (James Bond does not have corded blinds, that’s all I’m saying)

Results of Q&A

The best part of Blinds is their Q&A section so you can understand if people are buying for the same reasons you are.

Here are the main reasons why people bought the Blackout Celluar Shades and why you should too

  • They let in so little light you can’t see your hand in front of your face

This is the benefit we call want to experience, isn’t it? If you read the answers to the questions on the product page, you’ll see someone who mentions they bought these blinds for their RV.

For starters, that alone demonstrates the versatilty on offer. Your bedroom is probably several floors up in a city apartment and it shouldn’t move. The stresses and strains are minimal compared to the RV and yet they’re still really happy with the Shades.

The light stays out of the RV, the light stays off your pillow.

  • Huge style options to compliment the room they’re installed in

When people think of blackout blinds they usually imagine some kind of heavy duty sticky tape that’s plastered across the windows. A crack den if you will.

Crack dens do not scream beautiful.

Therefore, potential buyers are scared off before they’ve had a chance to review or even sample the blinds for themselves.

The Blackout Cellular Shades are different because they come in approximately 20 different colors. If you’re clued up on the psychology of colors, you’ll understand the importance of choosing hues that keep you as relaxed as a yoga teacher without the stress of doing yoga.

  • Double-cell shades give great insulation in very cold or very warm locations

This is an added bonus and one that most people don’t consider. I live in a gorgeous city. Honestly, if I wasn’t against you showing up at my door asking for my signature then I’d tell exactly where in the world I am.

If this place were a person, everyone would be craning their neck to get a second look.

However, a large number of the buildings are listed and as such can’t be tampered with, that includes changing the windows from single panes to double panes.

When I say it gets cold in those flats during the winter, I mean it. Everyone has to grab a duvet and cocoon themselves for serveral months until it’s all over.

The double-cell shades are perfect for these kinds of properties. Ones where you’re always slightly too cold or slightly too hot if you’re in warmer climates. It’s because they trap a layer of air in between and the transfer of heat through this layer is minimal, ensuring the bedroom stays at a constant temperature.


I love providing a balanced argument because perfection is an illusion.

What’s the main negative point?

  • Some mechanisms appeared to be faulty once they were installed.

I have to admit that I would be grumpy if I bought blinds that either didn’t rise to the top or were a nightmare to pull back down again. There’s only so long you can function in a bedroom with the light intensity of an underground cave.

However, the guys at Blinds are awesome and reply to anyone who leaves a disgruntled review with genuine concern and a desire to help fix the problem. They’re only human but that’s what we love.

The warranty covers mechanism breakage for 3 years though so the absolute worst case scenario is that you send then back to be replaced.

What have you learned?

What a journey.

You’re sick to death of waking up from the one beam of light that manages to plant itself directly across your once-sleeping eyeballs.

You still have to get up for work, no one cares that you couldn’t sleep. In fact, Barry is too chirpy. Always seems to be at the water cooler and ready for another conversation. Barry’s had more than his fair share of sleep, you think.

Blackout blinds are the obvious choice to get you back to performing at your best.

You’ve spent a lot of time and money creating a fantastic bedroom, one that you love, so the blinds need to keeping in-fitting with the rest of the decor.
