Great purchase

Really like the blackout curtains and it took less than a minute to put them up! I need to have someone help me take down the blinds mounted atop the window, though, because a little bit of sun peeks over the top of the curtain -- but it's not enough to wake me up early anymore!

Amazing and Simple

I purchased 4 sets of curtains for the new place I rented. Half the house is windowed in a way that floods with sunlight in the hottest parts of the day. These curtains were so easy to install, and outside of needing to order a few more special suction cups to better hold the curtains in place, they do their job well!

Amazing Product

These arrived extremely quickly and I am delighted for so many reasons. I have spent the last several decades dreading the one side of travel that made it hard to enjoy all the other sides of travel as I live out in the country where there is no noise and or light pollution and no matter where we went, the same could not be said and as I am an extremely light sleeper, sleep was often elusive while on the road. These blinds have allowed me to conquer half of the travel sleeping problem (while my beeswax ear plugs help with the other half). You can see the "night and day" difference in the photos!! I would often bring a blackout curtain with me but adhering it was always a problem. The Sleepout designers have thought of everything and I now look forward to our next trip. They are easy to adhere, taking about two minutes to put up with at least one spent trying to find something to stand on to reach the top of the window - they are that easy. Here at the rental we are currently occupying, they stayed on the window all night and completely blocked all light! I cannot thank you enough Sleepout!!

perfect product for sensitive sleepers

I'm subletting an apartment for a few months, so wanted something easy to install that would block the light (the owner only uses flimsy transparent curtains in the bedroom). This product honestly FAR EXCEEDED any expectations I had. I ordered two since it's a very wide window. Super easy to install, no tools needed, and it even comes in a cute carrying case. LOVE.

Best of the best

We tried a few blackout options on Amazon but found them to lack quality. Kept seeing ads for Sleepout on Instagram and finally decided to bite the bullet. Our first order got lost in the mail to our dismay but once I reached out Sleepout reps were quick to resolve the issue and sent us a replacement, which came within a couple weeks. Love how durable and sturdy the curtain is! Honestly, worth the money.

These work!

The portable blackout blinds work well - have used the suction cups and the Velcro strips and both work well. For light bleeds, I just use some masking tape and that does the trick! Very easy to “install”.

Comes with a portable bag for travel which is very handy as well and they are not heavy to transport.

Perfect

Just received these curtains and quickly and easily installed them. They are perfect for shutting out the hot afternoon sun in our coastal area. We can even hide them under our blinds.

Great product and easy to use

I am very impressed with the Sleepout Portable Blackout curtains. The installation using the suction cups was super simple and very effective. I also used the plastic velcro bars which created complete darkness; but I wish it came with a few more of the plastic velcro strips as I could have used two on the bottom and one more on the top! If I can order them separately, please let me know. (I'll take at least six more.)

Highly recommended!

Ordered the Sleepout Curtains to darken a room for my young grandson. They made all the difference when he visited with his parents. He slept well through the night and during naps, leaving lots of energy for playing and socializing in good spirits while he was staying with us. Great product. Effective and easy to use.

Love these nontoxic curtains :)

We got the bedroom curtains in cream and they are lovely. No weird smells. They blackout light well, except gap at top (we did not get the special rod)- the fold over flap helps but could be longer (3.5" instead of 2") to better suit standard rod projection. I was torn between 2 and 4 panels for our window width of 65", the 2 panels worked perfectly. I recommend to anyone searching for nontoxic options.

At last

At last there is a solution that can be put up and taken down easily when we have guests to give them a good nights sleep

Life Saver for a Rental

These are life changing for us. We have a rental so don’t want to damage walsl to put up curtain rods. Our neighbor has a very bright security light that shines directly into our bedroom windows. Tried several things, eye masks, other portable curtains and nothing worked well. We have had these about two weeks and love them! The difference in our quality of sleep is remarkable. We leave the suction cups up behind the blinds and attach the panels each night. Takes about 3 minutes for both windows to install and take down. Also bought an extra set of suction cups for the bedroom our granddaughter naps in when she’s here so I could leave them attached and use one of the panels from our room. We bought the cream so they would blend in with the decor and was worried they wouldn’t be dark, but they are total blackout. Thank you for a quality product!

Great black out effect, weak suction cups

I live in an apartment so I purchased a portable black out curtain after seeing the ad on insta. The size was perfect for my bedroom window and works great, I don’t need to wear an eye mask anymore! But I got 2 suction cups from the kit, and it’s too weak to support the curtain (window width: 70in) and curtain hangs low from top and lets light in. So I’m purchasing additional suction cups as that’ll make it perfect. If your window is as wide as mine and you’re using suction cups, know that you might need to buy additional suction cups so add that to your purchase to save yourself shipping.

Actual blackout!!

Purchased these for our bedroom so that our newborn baby would have complete darkness in his bassinet. We have “blackout” shades already, but they were not doing the job at all. Now with this product I can’t see my hand in front of my face in the middle of the day. My newborn is actually able to sleep now!

Good quality, tepid on the suction situation

Nice quality curtain and the suction cups stay in place. I ordered the large size curtain so that when traveling, we have options for all different types of windows. These didn't work great with the windows we tried. And even when applying the suction cups the correct way, there was light creeping in. But, it does do a good job of blocking out the light (and heat) from the covered area.

Buying extra suction cups

I recently purchased a set of blackout curtains (7/20/2024).
The fabric is heavy and sturdy, suggesting it will withstand daily use and cleaning without showing wear and tear.

However, the most impressive aspect of these curtains is their ability to block out light. While they don't eliminate all light from entering the room, they do an excellent job of reducing glare and harsh sunlight. The edges are where some light still manages to seep in. I might need to purchase extra suction cups!?

Took a few tries but OMG the quality was worth it!

Okay, so honestly, I was let down by the product at first. I bought this from a recommendation by Cara Dumaplin from TakingCaraBabies who swears by this curtain. II replaced my AmazonBasics one because the suction cups were breaking off from overuse.
Guys, patience and stubbornness is the key. If you have shutters, be prepared for a fight. The curtain is heavy and thick with 2 layers of high quality fabrics, so it's going to be a struggle aligning the darn flabbin' velcro to the suction cups! 😤 Listen, just keep finessing the curtain each time you take it down and set it up again. It took me 2 days to finally figure out how to make it work for my window and I am so thrilled by the level of darkness my son's room gets.

The suction cups are superior. So easy to secure, but kinda tricky to align correctly. I wish the velcro part would extend to the frame of the window in order to prevent light from escaping. The angle helps, but light still gets through the top. However, I have a shutter, and no curtain rod. If I had an additional curtain rod, then drapes would easily block the light. It doesn't matter to me because not as much light is sneaking through as it was with my other one. Another factor to my alignment issues is not the product itself, but rather my height. I'm 5'5" and some change, so it's tricky for me. Taller people, you'll be fine with your ability to reach and see where the light at the top is escaping and will be able to troubleshoot no problem. Shorter folks, sorry but this is a job for a step ladder or make your taller partner do it.

With all these factors to consider and my struggles, I will not mark down my review. It's human error, and definitely not the product. It's the type of window and window treatments I have, and not the product. It is SO MUCH easier dealing with 2 velcro strips than a whole bunch of cheap suction cups that fall off after a week. Well worth the price in my opinion and I am NOW so happy! 😄😮‍💨

They are wonderful for sleep

I love these so much I got one for our room as well. It makes the rooms pitch dark and it’s great. Love how small they pack to take them anywhere. Great product

SO impressed!

I received my sleepout curtains today after much anticipation. No matter how hard I tried before, I couldn’t get my nursery windows to black out to a suitable level for my 3 month old to nap in there. I drilled curtain rods into my wall just to find out that the way my windows are set up means that traditional curtains won’t ever be able to block the light out at the top. I’ve also been using a cheaper portable curtain from Amazon in my bedroom where he sleeps more often, and they’ve been super mediocre and the suction cups fall off the windows almost every day. NOT WITH SLEEPOUT!!! These are the highest quality suction cups I’ve ever seen. The Velcro makes it so easy to put the curtains up and down in literal seconds. I’ve never seen this room get so dark. I’m immediately ordering more for other windows in my house. I am so grateful that this product exists to make my life so much easier and baby’s sleep better!!!

Should have purchased sooner!

The Sleepout is so easy to install and non-toxic for the nursery. We had been having issues with nap time sleep length, and it turns out our daughter just needed the room to be darker! Put this on your registry, it’s a must have!

Incredible Service

I had originally had some difficulties with my sleepout curtain falling & Marissa from customer service contacted me to help me resolve the issue - her attentiveness and care was exceptional. She was very helpful and provided a lot of guidance and feedback on how to resolve the matter. Although I originally had some qualms with my sleepout curtain, the service I received has confirmed my support of this business! I am so so grateful that Marissa was able to help! I hope this business continues to succeed and do beautifully!

This crib mattress is DREAMY!

When shopping around for a crib mattress I knew I wanted something safe, natural and comfortable… and this mattress more than delivers in every category! I love that you can actually see the natural fibres when you unzip the cover! And even though my little one isn’t sleeping directly on the mattress cover, they definitely could because the bamboo fabric is so soft. I find great comfort in knowing it meets the standard for optimal firmness so we both can sleep soundly knowing she is safe.

SUPER AWSOME mattress and blackout curtain

We absolutely love the blackout curtain and the matress. The first night we used the curtain, my little one had already slept better. Even the naps were awesome. And he felt better and rested the entire day! The matress also looked and felt so comfortable . I really feel that it helped my baby have a better night's rest. Thank you sleepout for such an excellent product
