Dunelm's blackout curtains 'prevent unwanted draughts in winter' and keep room cosy

Bargain hunters are buzzing over Dunelm's blackout curtains, which promise to "prevent unwanted draughts in winter" while keeping your abode snug and toasty. In a stroke of good fortune for savvy shoppers, there's a whopping 50% discount on selected sizes and hues of the Montreal Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains, with prices ranging from £20 to £69.30 to suit various needs.

Ideal for those who cherish a pitch-black sleeping environment, these curtains boast a triple-layered premium blackout coating that cuts down external light significantly. Not just a one-trick pony, the blackout layer also serves as a thermal barrier, trapping heat during the chilly months.

Ingeniously designed, they feature a hidden blackout-lined panel that neatly tucks behind the curtain pole, ensuring no pesky light sneaks through the eyelets. And though it might be the last thing on your mind at present, these curtains are equally adept at keeping rooms cool during the sweltering summer days when drawn shut.

Available in an array of stylish shades such as Ashley blue, navy, pebble, lilypad, blush and grey, these curtains have won over the masses, securing an impressive average score of 4 out of 5 stars from 328 reviews. One satisfied customer said: "They are very lovely, feel really nice. They do what they say, can't wait for winter, it will be very cosy and warm in my living room."

Another happy buyer exclaimed: "I wanted some new curtains for three bedrooms. I chose ultra blackout. They are excellent, keep out all the light and look really well. They are well made and would definitely recommend them", reports the Mirror. 

A third customer expressed satisfaction, saying: "Very happy with how they look. A little bit fiddly to put up due to the flap behind the eyelets, but managed to do it on my own and they look great."

However, not all feedback was positive, as one reviewer pointed out: "Found curtains to be too stiff and they don't hang very well." Another dissatisfied customer remarked: "Really don't like them, the material is very stiff and the flap at the back is awkward to hang."

Elsewhere, Amazon is offering a budget-friendly set of blackout curtains at a 20% discount, reducing the price to £20.79. Meanwhile, John Lewis presents an appealing option with its Textured Weave Recycled Polyester Pair Blackout/Thermal Lined Pencil Pleat Curtains, though these come with a heftier price tag starting at £40 and rising to £120 for the largest size.
