Tommee Tippee Sleeptight Portable Blackout Blind
Tommee Tippee Sleeptight Portable Blackout Blind with Suction Cups, Adjustable and Lightweight, Large, 130 x 198cm
Preparation
If the blind has been stored away, suction cups can become flattened, so you may need to wash them before use. Use warm soapy water, rinse them off and pat them dry with a lint-free cloth. It’s also important to make sure the window is clean where the suction cups are going to attach.
Attaching
To enhance suction, lightly moisten the inner rim of the suction cups before attaching to your window. It’s best to start at an upper corner, gently pushing each cup until it forms a tight seal and doesn’t move. You can easily adjust the size of your blind as you go, using the Velcro patches.
Removal
To take your blind down, please don’t grab the material and pull, as this risks causing serious damage to the window glass and to your blind. Simply pull on the release tab of each individual suction cup and peel it back to let air in. This breaks the seal, allowing each cup to be easily removed.

To begin with I thought it was expensive but for the quality and performance and for what it achieves which is great sleep for a young one – it’s priceless.
This is the second blackout curtain I’ve bought and the performance is spot on for both of them.
It blocks out the light even during the day. Obviously this will depend on the size of the window you’re covering and where it’s possible to place the suction cups.
I’ve travelled with this several times and every time it works as expected and blocks out the majority of light. Its a very versatile product. And there’s velcro to help reduce the size depending on the window size you’re covering.
Pros:
– thick material which blocks out the light
– durable
– can be reshaped for different sized windows
– strong suction (when fitted correctly)
– portable and versatile
– easy to install and remove
Cons:
– suctions can fail sometimes and need refitting
I would recommend this to parents tying to make their little ones rooms dark at varying points of the day.
I put this on my bedroom window with some other blankets and no more sun shining in my eyes! Love it! It blocks out about 90% of sunlight! Protects your eyes
The blind has stayed suctioned to the window very well (I was worried it might fall down in the middle of the night, but no issues with this!) I have found it hard to get it to fit right to the very edges of our window, so some light does creep through the sides which is annoying, but on the whole it does block light out very effectively.
We have 2 of these now and we absolutely love them! We don’t just use them for travelling but also around the house to make it even darker when baby is napping! Easily to apply to window and folds down into a neat bag! Really affective for the price.
I have 3 of these for my house and its amazing have used them in the middle of the day to create a movie time for me and my kids blocks out alot of light and helps kids sleep in through the summer too would definitely recommend these to anyone
Pros: the suction cups work fine and there are plenty of them. It is pretty big but it can also be adjusted to the window by shortening it’s length and width with fastenings. It comes with a bag to put it away neatly. Lastly and most important it actually darkens the room a lot.
Cons: it’s very difficult to achieve 100% blackout in the room as there is always a bit of light coming from the edges by the window frame. It’s quite time consuming to adjust and attach it to the window, but worth it when going on holiday.
Overall, it’s a good blind for making a room dark on the go. However, if you are looking for an everyday solution to darken the room maybe a blackout curtain might be better as it can be time consuming fitting this blind on a daily basis.
We have a window about 110 x 160 and this works perfectly, there are enough built in suction cups to make it fit most window sizes i would imagine. It also has velcro is different places to you can not only make the shade narrower but also shorter in height too which is great.
The bonus for me is 1) having the built in suction cups and not being able to lose them or if you change window take all the suction cups off and then start again before being able to ‘hang’ a curtain and 2) you get a bag so its perfect for holidays where you aren’t sure if the curtains are going to be up to the job.
It seems expensive but it really does do the job and you know its going to last a lifetime – we have tried many of the window clings which do a good job but look a bit hideous and are a pain in the bum if you want to uncover half the window during the day (and have an 8 panelled window), its gets a bit tedious but not disappointment with this, just unpop some suckers and let it hang.
The only negative I have that made me rate this 4 stars, is that I would prefer the fabric to extend a bit more past the suction cups to fit better around the window frames and the cups only stick to glass.
