Sun Zero Avery 100% Blackout Rod Pocket Single Curtain Panel, Coal, 40"W x 84"L

I really like these curtains from Sun Zero, they do seem to achieve near 99 percent blackout. No smells, nice texture, when moving the curtains they have a tiny bit more noise when compared to "Better Homes %26 Gardens" 'Velvet' otherwise they're quiet, and the curtains do seem to muffle/reduce the sound of the loud AC unit outside my window (outside noise reduction of about 1-2 decibels). I should have bought these to begin with, but layering them with my other curtains works good also.

These are the best blackout curtains I have ever purchased. I have purchased some in the past and they don't compare to these. My bedroom window faces east so I always get woken up with the sunlight. I put my curtains up and there is absolutely no light coming through, none at all. The temperature in my bedroom is a lot more cooler as well. I have had the best sleep in the last couple of days. I highly recommend these curtains.
