About the Blackout Curtains, Rod Pocket
Woven polyester curtains that take a bedroom from grey to genuinely dark, without the plasticky backing stiff blackout panels usually have. A rod-pocket top with hidden tabs means they hang cleanly on a standard rod with no visible hardware. Thirteen colours, so they can disappear into a wall or deliberately not.

Still deciding? How to Measure for Curtains
Mount the rod 4 to 8 inches above the window frame (or just below the ceiling for maximum height), and extend it 6 to 12 inches past each side of the frame so open curtains clear the glass. For fullness, the total curtain width should be about two times the window width, or 2.5 times for lightweight fabric. Length is measured from the rod to the floor: aim to just kiss the floor for a clean look, or add 1 to 3 inches for a soft break.
Questions about the Blackout Curtains, Rod Pocket
How much light do these block?
They carry a high shade rating, blocking 71-90% of light. That takes a bedroom from grey to genuinely dark; it is not the total blackout of a lined theatre curtain, and no rod-pocket panel is, because light passes around the edges.
How do they hang?
A rod pocket with hidden back tabs, so they hang cleanly on a standard rod with no visible hardware.
What width should I order?
For a gathered look, panels should total about twice your rod width. One panel across a wide window will hang flat and let light in at the sides.
Do they feel plasticky?
They are woven polyester rather than the stiff coated backing most blackout panels use, which is the usual complaint about the category.
Can they be washed?
Yes, machine washable. Thirteen colours are available, including light grey, beige, navy and burgundy.
