Blackout Curtains 45 in Length 2 Panels - Total Light Block

In this review the reviewer tested a pair of BGment blackout curtains aimed at anyone who needs reliable light control and improved room temperature. The bottom line: these 42 x 45 in panels deliver true darkness and a noticeable thermal benefit, making them a solid choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where blocking light and reducing heat transfer matter most. The review covers build, performance, and typical use so buyers know what to expect from a 2-panel set with a 3-inch rod pocket.

Key Features

• Complete blackout: The curtains use a black backing that creates a full blackout effect to reduce streetlight and early-morning glare for darker sleeping spaces.
• Set dimensions: Each panel is 42 in wide and 45 in long, giving a combined width of 84 in that fits many standard windows and provides good coverage.
• Thermal insulation: The lined construction helps resist summer heat and retain indoor air conditioning while also helping in cooler months to reduce heat loss.
• Rod pocket fit: A 3-inch rod pocket at the top fits most curtain rods and yields a tidy, gathered look when hung slightly higher for the best coverage.
• Noise reduction: The two-layer design reduces street noise compared with single-layer drapes, which can help improve sleep and TV viewing.
• Easy care: The fabric is machine washable and designed to be measured unfolded for a proper fit without special cleaning requirements.

Who It's For

These curtains work well for city dwellers and shift workers who need a reliably dark room and for families hoping to lower cooling costs; customers reported a noticeable drop in glare and some heat retention benefits. They are also a good fit for renters who want an affordable, heavyweight look without permanent window changes.

People who need floor-length panels or exact custom sizing should look elsewhere, since these are 45 in length and measured unfolded; also buyers seeking grommet or tab-top styles should choose a different model because this set uses a rod pocket design.
