Bedroom

What type of blinds should I choose for my bedroom?

The most important consideration when choosing a blind for your bedroom is what will promote a good night's sleep. Light has a significant impact on our sleep because it helps to regulate our circadian rhythms, which are our internal 24-hour biological clocks. Our circadian rhythms are responsible for regulating several physiological functions, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone production, and metabolism.

When we are exposed to light our bodies receive signals that it is daytime and our internal clocks adjust accordingly. This helps us feel awake, alert, and energized during the day. However, exposure to light at night can disrupt our circadian rhythms and make it difficult to fall asleep. This is because exposure to light suppresses the production of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for regulating our sleep-wake cycles. When melatonin production is disrupted, it can lead to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and feeling rested in the morning.

Blackout Roller Blinds

These blinds are specifically designed to create a dark environment in your room, using a completely opaque, multi-layered fabric that allows no light to pass through it. They are perfect for people who need complete darkness to sleep and they can help to regulate your sleep-wake cycle by preventing early morning sunlight from waking you up.

Pleated Perfect Fit Blinds

Also known as honeycomb blinds, these blinds are fit to the glass panes of uPVC windows and feature a fabric with a unique cellular structure that traps air, which can help to insulate your room and reduce outside noise. They also come in a blackout option and feature side channels which can help to control the amount of light that enters your room.

Total Blackout Blinds

The ultimate choice for a bedroom, these blinds feature side tracks, seals and bottom bars that prevent light from entering through gaps in the window frames. This complete seal ensures that no light can enter the room making them perfect for shift workers, those who need to sleep during the day or those who are sensitive to light.
