Back to school blinds: Why you should invest in Blackout Blinds this Autumn.

We are told from day one that sleep is the best medicine, from renewing your energy to helping to ward off a headache or bad mood, a good night’s sleep is essential to ensure we feel our best. Most of us don’t get the recommended amount of sleep, and this can be detrimental to our wellbeing.

When we don’t get enough sleep, we are at risk of a range of health conditions including heightened stress levels and obesity. As well as this, if you consistently miss out on shut eye you will start to notice reduced concentration, weakened reactions and poor memory, so it’s obvious why it’s important to get our essential 8 hours!

From headlights on passing cars to bright streetlights shining through the windows, there’s several things that can keep us up at night, and as the kids go back to school and early mornings make a return, it’s imperative that you and your family get decent shut eye.

So, if the pillow over your head or the eye mask aren’t working, or if you’re simply sick of being woken up at the crack of dawn, then it’s time to find a solution and we have just the thing!

Blackout blinds are the optimal solution to keep your bedroom dark. Widely recognised as the best option for ensuring total darkness, blackout blinds have several benefits.

What are blackout blinds?

Blackout blinds are designed to keep out as much light as possible from a room. Whilst the fabrics themselves are blackout, light will travel between the fabric and frame and around the corners in some places. However, at Direct Order Blinds our Blockout Roller Blinds consist of an innovative cassette and 4-sided frame which prevents gapping for a more secure fit, resulting in optimal blackout performance, and therefore, better-quality sleep.

Why should I get blackout blinds?

It’s a known fact that darkness is one of the best things you can do for your sleep and a high-quality blackout blind can ensure that you and your family get the sleep you need, regardless of the season or time of day.

Darkness in your bedroom encourages sleep and helps to make your space the ultimate peaceful and calming environment and one of the easiest ways to achieve this is to get a blackout blind. As well as ensuring no light seeps through your windows and wakes you up, blackout blinds offer other benefits too.

1. They are easy to install, with all the mechanisms contained in the blind cassette.
2. They are child safe and easy to use, operated by a chain mechanism fitted with all the necessary safety measures, ensuring that young children and babies are safe from harm.
   
   
3. Due to the roller blind design and because it’s a solid block of fabric, they are the perfect option to express your personality.
