These bestselling curtains, on sale for $25, ‘make my room look like midnight’

What reviewers say 💬

Over 92,000 Amazon customers are so impressed by these curtains, they’ve given them a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

“I work [the] overnight shift and it is hard to sleep during the day,” shared a happy shopper. “These help considerably and make my room look like it’s midnight. Highly recommend.”

“I live in Texas, and it has been a hot summer, so I really wanted to get some curtains,” explained another fan. “They work well for both, and even when the light is coming full force at the window, it’s nice, dark and cool in the rooms. The material feels nice and sturdy.”

“Game-changer!” wrote a rave reviewer. “I live in an apartment complex and face the parking lot. I have very inconsiderate neighbors [who] feel the need to sit outside in their vehicles for long periods of time and not shut off their lights. These curtains have provided the protection I need and also help prevent drafts.”

Cons 👎

You may have to give these a little TLC to smooth out the fabric. “My only complaint is they are not wrinkle-free,” shared an otherwise content reviewer. “I even ironed those bad boys, and [they] still won’t come out. … I do admit — they have been up one day, so I am hoping gravity will take its course and work the wrinkles out. Otherwise, I am going to have to steam them out.” (Psst: Several reviewers mentioned that steaming did do the trick!)

“I only wish it came with a curtain tie,” wrote a final buyer, though they also referred to the curtains as “literally the best.”

Each pack includes over 100 stickers in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit over different lights, whether you want to reduce the glare from your alarm clock, microwave, power strips or tech gadgets. Some people even use them to cover the cameras on their laptops as a safety precaution.

“They work!” summed up a relieved reviewer. “I have several devices in my home that have eye-piercing operating lights on them, including some in my bedroom. If I get up at night, they wake up my brain too much, but I did not want to cover them with something opaque, as the lights are the only way to know if something is on or not … love this easy and inexpensive solution to an annoying problem.”
