About this deal

If you hate DIY and don’t have time for fiddling around with scissors or measuring tape, then why not get someone else to do the hard work? In fact, curtains aren’t always the most effective way to create darkness in your bedroom or your baby’s nursery, because they can move in a breeze, letting in chinks of light. To help you find the right one for you, we’ve pulled together a list of the top blackout blinds Mumsnetters love.

The Gro Company will not be held responsible for any glass breakage resulting from use of the Gro Anywhere Blind. They work by using Velcro tabs to stick the blind to the glass on the window making the room pitch black.This specially designed travel black out blind is a great choice for blocking out light on larger windows. It was much darker, and no sunlight came through anywhereas the blind fitted very closely against the window pane. Ok so from the outside my house looks like a dodgy internet user might live there BUT I have had 6:45/7am starts ever since. If you’d rather avoid installing new blinds in your baby’s nursery or any other room where they’re likely to be sleeping, there’s good news - you don’t have to do so. Finally, we collated all that information and compared them to other online reviews to see which were the bestsellers and which received rave recommendations.

We also recommend adding a little moisture to the inside of the suction cup (a quick wipe with a damp cloth) as that also helps with the suction.The benefit of this system is that the blind can be left in place - unlike the Gro Anywhere blind which you have to take down if you want to let some light in and then put back up when darkness is required. To improve suction and help keep the seal tight, dampen your fingertip with water and lightly moisten the inner rim of the suction cup. The Velcro and suction cups can be used to make the blind into the perfect size for pretty much any window (sizes up to 130cm x 198cm). We are in the middle of a renovation project in our home, and as such, are replacing her old flimsy (WHITE!

It makes an ideal on the go travel blind and comes in a handy silk printed black and silver storage bag too although the manufacturer warns that there may be imperfections on the bag’s print. Putting up a blackout blind during hot weather means there's nowhere for the heat to escape to and a build-up of pressure can cause the window to overheat and shatter, creating a 'thermal stress'. Perfect for when travelling, the Gro Anywhere Blind comes with a handy travel bag, so the blind can be packed up and taken with you. It’s got a special metal frame which pops up in seconds allowing the blind to be fitted easily to the window using suction pads.If the suction cup has become flattened or deformed, place it carefully in hot water for 2-3 minutes. When packed away it measures 290 x 230 x 60mm making it compact enough to easily fit in a suitcase or overnight bag. Suited to most rooms - not just your baby’s nursery - these clever blinds are made to measure so that they fit within uPVC window frames perfectly (the clue is in the name).

If necessary, wash the suction cups with warm, soapy water, rinse and pat them dry with a lint-free cloth. However the Daydreamer blind works differently in that it attaches to your window frame with velcro to ensure no slipping. I’m sure the more you did it the quicker the process would become, and you could argue that a few minutes lost putting a blind up is far outweighed by the benefit of getting your child to sleep faster! Just wanted to warn people NOT to use Tommee Tippee portable blackout blinds (or anything similar), especially in the heat we're about to get. It can be used in 2 ways; 1 using the suction cups to attach it to the window glass, or alternatively by using the self-adhesive attachments to fix it to the frame.The tension pole means that they can be opened and closed whenever you need meaning you don’t have to put them up or take them down every day. However, this doesn't work for blackout blinds, which are only designed to be used in the early evening and at night. It’s easy to use and quick to adjust, so your little one can sleep better in the dark snoozy environment created. There are plenty of these available on the UK market, from brands such as Gro Company and from Easynight.
