Key Details
100% Blackout vs Room Darkening
Most curtains marketed as 'blackout' are actually room darkening -- they reduce light significantly but still allow some to pass through the fabric or leak around the edges. True 100% blackout requires a separate black liner that physically blocks all light. NICETOWN achieves this with an integrated black backing. In a dark room with these curtains closed, you cannot tell whether it is day or night. For nurseries and night-shift sleepers, this level of darkness is not optional, it is essential.

Cons
- Black liner is visible from outside, which affects curb appeal
