Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are awesome. I live on a main rd -- 6 lanes behind my house. Major firestation 2 blocks down. Lots of street lamps. Near a major hub airport. And really, really mean neighbors. It's a rental, so just honeycomb shades. I didn't initially want the expense and repairs of installing drapes, but I hadn't slept well in a year. Literally. These ROCK. Heavyweight decorative layer is plain polyester taffetta, but very thick. Fabric hangs well. Back layer is thin thermal. Removable Middle layer is thin, dense felt. I got the 95" ones, 4 panels, and hung three from a 120" rod all the way to the ceiling. You will need heavy duty rods attached to studs; I find the 3 layers Very heavy. Used 3 panels to stretch from window to window, including the entire wall in between, behind my headboard. Used the last panel on a single side window. I love these. They're saving me, because sleep deprivation will ruin your life. You can't stay calm without a good night's rest at least several nites a week. It's not soundPROOF, I can hear the sirens more distantly, and the high sharp tones are gone. The rumbler cars my noisy neighbors prefer are almost mute. CANNOT EVEN HEAR THE LOW FLYING PLANES. Neighbors' 3am lights are completely blacked out. While not completely soundproof, I AM NO LONGER AWAKENED BY THESE NOISES ONCE ASLEEP. It's also much easier to fall asleep. No light gets through. Outside noise is much softer. MY life is vastly improved by these. My kids prefer it too. These Curtains are the least expensive of their kind, with sound-absorbing felt. Satisfactory quality. They were more like 94" long. I used super strong mini magnets to lash the side to the edge of the window well. When i have time, I will sew or glue these to the felt. They're a perfect blank canvas, but very plain. You could stitch panels on, do decorative stitching or embroidery.... craftier people will have fun dreaming how to dress them up. I plan to spruce them up with pre-made, decorative sheer overlays, using sheers on the ROOM side of the curtain. As soon as we move. I will buy more of these. My husband called the curtained room "spa-like". 'Nough said.
