What To Look For In Eclipse Kids Curtains

To give the best chance to your kids to sleep peacefully and be comfortable during the night, you need to provide curtains that will do several things well:

Block Out Direct Sunlight

As you have learned, kids need to sleep a lot more than the adults. Below the age of 5 kids need over 12 hours of sleep per day. Blocking out direct sunlight is important especially if your child’s room is facing east. The early morning sun could easily be waking up your kid and make them groggy due to lack of sleep.

In a nursery, kids usually go for an afternoon nap. You want to block the sun rays as much as possible during that time of the day.

To block out sunlight just look for Eclipse Blackout Curtains for kids (below). Also look for thermaback lining. When picking the matching rod, make it extend 10-20 inches beyond the window on both sides, left and right.

Consider getting a “wrap around” rod. This rod closes the gap between the wall and the curtain on the sides. And make sure the curtains cover the wall at least 10-20 inches above and below the window edges.

Provide Thermal Insulation

Thermal insulation is important. Thermal insulation prevents large temperature swings. It is okay for the temperature to drop somewhat during sleep from the evening towards the morning.

It is not okay for the temperature to abruptly increase in the morning while the kid is still sleeping. The kid will feel uncomfortable when the temperature rises too fast and by too much. The kid will wake up too soon and be dizzy and unhappy. And he won’t know why and neither will you.

With thermal insulated curtains, however, the temperature won’t rise as fast, providing more time for the kids to wake up on their own, at the best time for them or on your regular schedule.

To get good thermal insulation look for Eclipse kids curtains with thermaback lining (below).

Maximize Noise Reduction

Especially if you live by a high-traffic street or have noisy neighbors, you will want to maximize the noise reduction. This is often looked as not very important, but some kids are really sensitive to noise.

To get the best noise reduction in Eclipse curtains, look for Eclipse Suede Energy Efficient curtains (below). These reduce the noise the most because of the additional sound reduction property of the suede material. Also very important, get properly sized curtains. As a rule of thumb, make sure that curtains extend at least 10-20 inches above, below, to the left and to the right of the window.

Regardless of what curtains you purchase, you will achieve double or even triple the noise reduction when you make sure that the total combined width of all panels is 2.5 times to 3 times the width of the window. Your curtains should look full when closed. That is exactly what you want to double the outside noise reduction. So, stated simply, purchase 4 panels for a window instead of 2 panels and you will achieve fullness when the curtains are closed. That’s how you will reduce the noise even further.

Bonus: Purchase Matching Curtain Rod

We suggest either a regular or decorative rod that extends 10-20 inches beyond the window width on both sides. Another excellent choice to maximize the noise reduction is a “wraparound rod”. That type will allow you to close the gap between the curtain and the wall, reducing noise escaping into the room even more.

Pros And Cons Of The Three Very Best Eclipse Curtains For Kids

Here are the best Eclipse children’s curtains and their pros and cons. We pay close attention to light blackout, thermal insulation, and noise reduction.

Eclipse Suede Thermaback Blackout Panel Curtains

They feature unsurpassed noise reduction and noise blocking among the Eclipse curtains for children.

Both are due to added fibers that give suede its characteristic feel.

Kids will really love any of the vivid colors Eclipse Kendal comes in.
