Review on DWCN Navy Blue Room Darkening Blackout Curtains - Thermal Insulated Privacy Energy Saving Window Curtain Drapes 52 X 45 Inch Length, Set Of 2 Bedroom Living Room Curtains by Sally Reynolds

TL;DR I bought these in black, many people are complaining other shades are not blackout but the black works incredible and these are awesome for draft blocking! Very mild noise blocking also. Just wish they were a few inches longer.I live in a city and there is a traffic light (among other things) that shine into my window all night. I can see clear as day in my room with just the blinds in my apartment. Also, my windows are drafty AF. Because of the shape of my room, my only choice is to have my bed placed right up against the window.My roommates room is much larger so she doesn’t have these issues and we were having disagreements about the heat/AC. No matter what they were set to, my room was always too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter.Not anymore! I am truly amazed by how well these keep my room getting cold! I can’t wait to see how they work in the summer also. I can sleep comfortably again the and the light and noise blocking (I live next to a train) is a huge bonus. Bonus too is that if I get a little hot at night I just have to open the curtains a tiny bit instead of opening my rusty windows lol.Only downside is that I wish these were a couple inches longer. In order to block the draft, I had to set up my tension rod pretty low, and the bottom of the window is JUST barely covered by the curtain, and there’s a gap at the top of the window, so some light does still pour through although it does still cancel a lot of light. The longer length wouldn’t have worked in my space since I’d have to "tuck” the curtain behind my bed which wouldn’t work as it’s right up against the window. Perhaps I should’ve ordered longer ones and hemmed them but oh well…
