A pair of curtains that aim to give you the best night's sleep by blocking out all natural light are now on sale for £10 on Amazon.
Those who are on a nightshift or who need to sleep throughout the day might begin to struggle the further we head into the year, as the sun rises earlier and beams bright throughout the day. There's nothing worse than trying to sleep and a line of light directly hitting you in the face, preventing you from dozing off.
That's where these blackout curtains come in as they promise to block out any natural light that filters into your room.
The Deconovo Blackout Curtains are currently 33 per cent off on Amazon, down from £15.73 to just £10.48 - that's a total saving of £5.25. These curtains come in a range of colours including yellow, blue, white, red and of course, black.
The curtains feature a lightweight soft touch matte texture and are sold ready to hang in your home. The thermal blackout curtains are made using innovative triple weave technology to stop "the outside world from creeping in".
The curtains can also potentially help you save money on your energy bills by "keeping light out and cool homes during hot summers and keeping the cold out during the winter months".
Shoppers have hailed these curtains as the perfect addition to their home as one shopper claimed these "gorgeous" curtains came at a "bargain price".
One happy customer wrote: "We've been looking for new curtains for a while before I thought I'd have a quick look on Amazon and I found these. They are for our bedroom. They are a gorgeous colour, lovely length, blackout lining, so sleeping is much cosier. Took minutes to put up. The feel of these curtains are so soft. Also a bargain price. I would recommend these highly."
