Do Blackout Shades Help You Sleep Better?
There’s no substitute for a great night of sleep. When you sleep well, you feel better and more productive, but how do you get the best sleep? You’ve likely heard of blackout shades, but can they help you sleep better?
Our answer? They absolutely do.
The Importance of Room-Darkening Shades
If you don’t have room-darkening shades, you know that when the sun rises, so do you. This can be problematic if you like to sleep in on the weekends or work overnight and need to sleep during the day. Darkness is necessary for your brain to produce melatonin and prepare for sleep, and light inhibits the process. Even when it’s dark outside, streetlights or headlights from passing cars can sneak through regular blinds or shades and affect your sleep by stimulating your brain and throwing your circadian rhythm off track. Blackout shades can prevent up to 99% of exterior light from impacting your sleep.
Hunter Douglas Blackout Shades Options
Duette® Cellular Shades
Cellular shades provide unmatched insulation and absorb sound to keep your bedroom more comfortable. They’re available in a wide range of fabrics to match any bedroom décor, and their pleated surface introduces depth and texture to your windows. For the best blackout experience, we suggest upgrading your Duette® Cellular Shades with the LightLock® system that uses unique side channels to prevent up to 50% more unwanted light from entering.
Designer Roller Shades
Designer Roller Shades have a streamlined profile and fit neatly within window frames for a clean, crisp aesthetic. They offer smooth, reliable movement and are available in over 370 fabrics, including opaque options. You can enhance the light control of Designer Roller Shades with the Duolite® feature, which places an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade, or with the Dual Roller option, which lets you use any two fabrics on the same window.
Vignette® Roman Shades
Vignette® Roman Shades bring a refined, contemporary vibe to your bedroom with full or flat folds. Choose from a rolling or stacking style, and select fabric from the exclusive Alustra® Collection. Vignette® Roman Shades are available in room-darkening fabrics and in a two-on-one headrail design that places two independent shades on the same headrail, giving you enhanced light control.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Don’t let the name fool you. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are versatile window coverings with exceptional room-darkening power. Dual fabric panels provide superior daytime privacy and UV protection while giving your bedroom a delicate, ethereal aesthetic. Alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric allow you to enjoy sunlight and privacy during the day, and you can align the opaque bands at night to keep unwanted light out. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are available with the Duolite® system and the ClearView® sheers feature that uses a black sheer panel to deliver the best view to the outside.
