Really lightweight blackout curtains???

[Pashazade]

Do they exist, can anyone recommend some? We’ve got a really crap track rail for our curtains that doesn’t cope with heavy curtains and a tall, fairly wide bay window, so replacing the track is expensive and difficult. I have a cheap and cheerful pair of curtains up atm that are very light weight and fine in the winter as we have shutters too however I’m waking up earlier and earlier because of the light levels. So can anyone recommend really lightweight blackouts?

I have massive bay windows and curtain track. I added this type of blackout lining to my existing curtains and they are fine. The lining is really light and does cut out a lot of light. It does still come through above the top of the curtains though, but it’s a lot better than without the lining.

blackout

Thanks @FeelingLikeAFaultyNPC I’ll check those out, a bit of light in the top is fine!

They do exist, we have some unlined, lightweight blackout curtains which surprised us with their effectiveness. I think they cam from a physical shop, but unfortunately I can't recall which.

The ones we got from Ikea are very light and very effective

Thanks folks!

I’ve got both the Luna and Jennings blackout curtains from Dunelm and can recommend either one for your requirements.

IKEA they are £12 and really blackout! Feel like shower curtains though! But do the job!
