Coleman tents with blackout inners

I'm a relatively new camper and I'm struggling with the morning light coming through and waking me up. I have a Vango 6 man with supposedly "lights out inners" but that seems pretty ineffective at blocking out much light.

I've tried to find a Coleman with the blackout bedroom areas in our local camping shops to see if they are any better but I've had no luck in finding one to test. Has anyone on here got one and if so, does it really block out most of the daylight as their website suggests?

We have the Coleman Valdez 6XL with blackout bedrooms. When it is light outside you get some coming in the sides but it does cut it down a lot. We have managed to sleep in till about 9, this in Scotland where it gets light early in the summer. In the model we have there are three "bedrooms" and I suspect the third room isn't as dark but we don't use it. In short, we're pleased we got black out inners.

Thank you! That's the one I'm looking at and frankly 9am after the 5:30s this week sound idyllic

We have one and do manage to sleep for longer, however I don't really rate it as a tent. It's ok but I would have preferred an Outwell with a bigger living area, however the need for a darker bedroom trumped a large lounge!

Eye masks?
