Why is it a good deal? ??

We haven't seen these popular curtains dip lower than their current price in a while, so if you need some light reduction, we recommend snagging them while they're over 30% off. You can't put a price on a good night's sleep, but when it's this low, we'll take it! Prices vary depending on color, and the black curtains are the most marked down — just be sure to apply the on-page coupon for the double discount.

Why do I need this? ??

Deconovo blackout curtains are available in 17 sizes, so they’ll fit perfectly over most any window. They're great for apartment dwellers who want to avoid neighbors' prying eyes or folks who need an excuse to sleep in just a little longer. They can block up to 98% of outdoor light, though you'll want to opt for a darker color for optimal effectiveness.

Bonus: They're ideal for insulating rooms, since they keep sunlight out during the warmer months and retain warmth once the temps drop. They also cut down on noise from outside.

What reviewers say ??

Amazon shoppers love these window coverings — they have over 18,000 five-star ratings.

Pros ??

"Perfect! I absolutely love these curtains," one shopper raved. "I've had blackout curtains in the past and they were really heavy. These curtains are medium weight but still black out the room. The material is soft and silky and they hang so nicely. I also hung them from the package. Wrinkle-free! ... I am so pleased with this purchase."

"Amazing curtains, high-quality blackout," shared another. "The amount of light that's blocked from the sun is amazing. We get a lot of light throughout the day at this window. I installed it at night... the wife ended up sleeping through to 10:30 a.m. the next day not knowing what time it was! Left them closed during the day to test the light and heat, and they work amazing! Minimal light seeping. I think I could sleep mid-day without issues if I wanted. Definitely noticed the room was cooler overall. Hoping this helps during the 100s+ summers!"

A third added: "You know that rare moment when you open something you ordered and it's more? More everything? That was these curtains. Very pleasing to the eye and thicker than I imagined. The first night sleeping with my new setup, I awoke thinking that I only slept a few hours. That is how good the blackout is on these."

"I bought these for a quick window solution for our new home," shared a final fan. "They are perfect. Great weight and easy to hang. They look awesome. While I bought them to hang until I found what I really wanted, I think I'll keep these up indefinitely, as they really do the trick. ... Plus, they clean really easy. We got some dirt on [one] section, and a little warm water and a little Dawn and they were like new! I wish they came in some prints, as I would hang them everywhere!"

Cons ??

"The fabric is nice quality. Easy installation," said one shopper who added, "It's definitely darker than my previous curtain, but this is my first blackout curtain and I guess I expected for my room to be absolutely dark as night once the sun came up. It's not. Some sun seeps through. Still darker than before, but my expectation was a totally black room."

"They do block out the light, that’s for sure!" said a final fan. "Very heavy, so make sure you have a good rod! Beware if you have pets … They love to collect my dog's hair, which is unfortunate."

No, blackout curtains don't have to be black — case in point, this lovely beige pair. There are 27 colors to choose from!
