While many of us enjoy the sunshine, sometimes there are reasons for rooms to be kept dark during the daylight hours. The most common reason for darkened daytime rooms is to allow for comfortable and restful sleep. Whether the sleeper is a night time worker that sleeps during the day, a baby that rests better without the light shining in or someone who is sick and needs dark to rest well, there are many reasons for keeping a room dark for part of the day. Blackout curtains are the perfect solution, as they can be set up to truly block out 99% of the light coming in the windows.

At BedBathStore.com our blackout curtains are much heavier than the average curtain in order to give you complete darkness when you want it, and they are also available in lengths up to 120 inches. If you already have curtains that you love up in the baby's room, just add our Eclipse Blackout Curtain liner behind those curtains to give you instant darkness while still keeping your pretty curtains in place.

In addition to providing a completely dark resting space, blackout window treatments are also energy efficient in that they can help keep the room warmer or cooler by blocking air from leaking in or out of the windows. At BedBathStore.com we carry insulated blackout curtains by Ellery Eclipse that can reduce outside noise by 40%, providing you with not only a darkened room for sleeping but a quiet one, too. Blackout curtain brands such as Commonwealth, Lorraine Home Fashions and Softline are available with something to fit all of your blackout, insulated window treatment needs.

We offer pinch pleated insulated blackout drapes such as the Fireside Solid And Print Insulated Blackout Draperies by Ellis Curtain. BedBathStore.com brings you a selection like no other, with Eclipse Blackout Curtains that are guaranteed to block all light from the room.

Why You Need Blackout Curtains
If you don�t work the night shift, you may wonder why you would need blackout curtains. These types of curtain panels can actually benefit just about anyone. They can serve several functions in your home. Here�s why you need them:

They can help you sleep better
Properly hung, a set of blackout curtains keeps a majority of outside light from coming in through the windows. This helps keep a bedroom dark in the middle of the day, which is why they are commonly used by people who work at night. But even if you sleep at night, blackout curtains can help you. They block light that bleeds in from outside at night: street lamps, car headlights and just general light pollution that is common especially in urban areas. A darker room can mean deeper sleep, which is much more beneficial than light or interrupted sleep.

They can lower your energy costs
The thicker material used in blackout curtains plus the tightly woven blackout liner help the curtains to function as insulators, keeping cold air out in the winter and heat out in the summer. They are an excellent and inexpensive way to lower your energy costs year round. Some types of curtains can reduce the loss of warm or cool air by about 25%, a significant savings over time.

They block noise
Unless you live in a remote area, there is probably some ambient noise outside when you are trying to sleep. Blackout curtains also block noise due to their construction, making life inside more peaceful.
