What it is
Night work and small rooms collide at the window. These panels sit on the glass with suction, so you are not asking a landlord for permission to put screws in a uPVC frame.
A single panel covers a typical bedroom sash at about 130 × 198 cm. Two panels cover a wider bay, or a room with two problem windows. They knock the daylight back. Street lamps, frame gaps, and a badly sealed meeting rail will still leak a little light — that is a window, not a studio.
Use them as the room-side layer. If you have curtains, leave them. If you do not, this is the reversible kit.

Who it is for

It does
- No-drill suction mounting
- About 130 × 198 cm per panel
- Single (£39) or dual pack (£69)
- Made for rented glass, not a nursery blackout tent
It does not
- Not a sleep mask or wearable
- Not a medical sleep aid
- Not a claim of 100% blackout
- Not a drilled-in blind system
How to use it
- Clean the glass. Dust kills suction.
- Offer the panel up, press the cups, and check the meeting rail.
- Expect some leak at the frame. Pair with existing curtains if you have them.
- To move house: peel, pack flat, do not leave holes because there are none.
Straight answers
- Is this a sleep mask?
- No. It is a panel for the glass. You still have a face. We do not sell wearables or sleep-clinic kit.
- Will the room go 100% dark?
- No, and we will not print that. Panels cut the main hit of daylight. Frames, letterbox gaps, and sodium lamps still exist.
- Single or dual?
- One typical bedroom sash: single at £39. Two windows, or a wide bay: dual at £69. The Night Shift Starter pairs a single with the sill kit.
