Full Blackout Curtains with Black Liner
For pure functionality on a budget, NICETOWN is the industry leader. Unlike many 'blackout' curtains that let in 10-15% light, their double-layer design truly achieves 100% darkness, which is critical for melatonin production.
Quality & Materials
100% Polyester. While synthetic, it is heavy-duty and provides excellent thermal insulation. It lacks the breathability of natural fibers.
Evidence & Testing
The product is OEKO-TEX certified, which is rare for many budget Amazon brands, providing a baseline of safety against toxic dyes.
Brand Transparency
Standard mass-market transparency. They rely on third-party certifications rather than detailed supply chain disclosures.
Value Assessment
Unbeatable value for those who prioritize darkness over material naturalness. Ideal for shift workers or nurseries.
Why Not Alternatives?
Many budget curtains use a single layer of 'triple-weave' fabric that still glows when hit by direct sunlight. NICETOWN uses a dedicated black sewn-in liner that guarantees total darkness.
