Bedroom bay window - inspiration needed

[GlassHeart1]

Help, I am trying to improve on the current situation.

Window is 6 sections, 4 in-line in the centre (c2m) and 1 angled on each side (c.70cm each).

One wide curtain each side means I don't ever draw them to the sides, not even to the edges of in-line sections so hardly a point of double width.

Hate the idea of 6 narrow curtains or even 4 as the bendy track doesn't glide smoothly.

Curved plastic track doesn't quite bend on the edges to cover the gaps that let the light in, one of these gaps allows light/sun directly onto the pillows! Curtains are/will be blackout so I don't really want that gap.

Lost for ideas of how to create a good solution, anyone cracked it in some imaginative way?

I have seen that size work with only two curtains on a single bendy rail, and pulleys at each side? Obviously each curtain will be big and heavy.

How about binds around the bay, and curtains across the bay. Not the cheapest option I know, but if you can't get a rail to bend around the curve of the bay, then this would work.

Watching closely as my bendy curtain rail has broken on one side and I really need to find another solution.

Yes, I have 2 curtains at the moment and it's not really working, they don't pull without yanking on the bend and there are still gaps on the sides .

I need to investigate a different track I think.

Annoyingly, most of high street curtain shops have closed down and nearest Dunelm/Range is over 20 miles away.

That is where pulleys help, but they need to be fitted professionally

Perhaps a metropole would work - I have just had one installed in one of my DD’s bedrooms https://www.silentgliss.co.uk/engb/products/view/curtain-systems/metropole/#

Thank you for that, never heard of that system before, I will research if suitable.
