These are cool curtains. The medallion design looks classy, and the navy color is neutral enough to fit well with the décor in any room in my house. The material is nice and thick. While it won't be pitch black in the room, it does a good job of blocking light from getting in. You'll be able to tell it's daytime, but I think it darkens the room enough to sleep well. This is a must for anyone who works nightshift like I do. Fleece is a great choice. It feels soft and high quality, and I like that it regulates the temperature inside no matter what time of year. The fact that this is machine washable is a great bonus. I won't have to worry about hand washing or dry cleaning if anything spills on it. I really like these curtains, and I'd recommend them to anyone who likes beautiful designs, getting sleep during the day, and saving money on heating and cooling bills.
