What are the best blackout curtains for a nursery?

For a nursery, a strong overall pick is the NICETOWN Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtain because it’s widely used for a good balance of light blocking, thermal insulation, and affordability.

If you want the darkest possible setup for daytime naps, the BGment blackout curtain line is a solid option, especially thicker or double-layer styles.

If you care most about premium styling and low-emission materials, Pottery Barn Kids blackout curtains are often a top-end choice; some options may carry certifications such as GREENGUARD Gold, so it’s worth checking the exact product page before buying.

Even with very good blackout curtains, some light can still leak around the edges. For the darkest room, mount the rod high and wide, and consider wraparound or room-darkening hardware.

Exact features and certifications can vary by product and color, so check the current listing before you buy.
