Perfect curtains for our house,  we live in Florida,..so we are expecting our electric bill to drop down. I. bought these in different colors for the windows in our home where the sun comes in and shines..they are definitely very blackout curtains for sure..they are very soft to touch them..on Mondays when the garage trucks come by it used to be loud noise..not so much anymore,  I bought these when wayfair had those flash deals,  so I also got a great price...yes, I recomend these to you all..just my opinion
