Deconovo Super Soft Pencil Pleat Thermal Blackout Curtains (66 x 72) – Black, Two Panels
Product description
The essentials
If mornings start too early thanks to outside light, these Deconovo pencil pleat blackout curtains are designed to tackle that. On paper, they promise around 95%–99% blackout efficiency, aiming to cut out early light, street lamps and even car headlights so you can keep your sleep routine intact.
They’re also pitched as thermal curtains, with the idea that thicker fabric can help regulate indoor temperature. That means fewer winter heat losses and less summer heat slipping in. Not every home will feel a dramatic difference, but if your room gets hit by direct sun or cold drafts, this kind of curtain can be a sensible way to add some comfort without changing your heating setup.
Key points
These are pencil pleat blackout curtains in a classic, soft-touch fabric feel, made from 100% polyester. They come as two panels only, with accessories not included, and the heading is designed to work with both poles and tracks.
If you’re a light sleeper, a shift worker, or you simply value a proper lie-in, the blackout and privacy angle is the main attraction. They also reduce outside views thanks to dense fabric, which tends to matter most in kids’ bedrooms, nurseries and homes facing busy streets.
What stands out in day-to-day use
The practical win here is simple: you’re not relying on blinds that let light leak around the edges. Pencil pleat curtains usually hang in a fuller way across the window, which can help improve how much light is blocked at the time you’re actually sleeping.
A small micro-scenario: imagine it’s 6:30am and headlights sweep across the room from the road. With blackout curtains drawn across the window (and the right width for your pole), you should see a noticeable reduction in that shifting brightness compared with standard thin curtains.
Where it shines, and where it can fall short
These curtains feel best suited to people who want comfort, privacy and better light control in a bedroom setting. They’re described as a good fit for bedrooms, living rooms and nurseries, which makes sense given the combination of blackout + the “peace of mind” angle.
That said, no blackout curtain is magic. Light can still find its way in depending on how your window sits, the pole/track setup and how much fabric coverage you manage. Also, these panels are for you only if you’re comfortable measuring and choosing the right curtain width—get that wrong and the blackout effect may not match expectations.

Buying tips before you order
Before committing, it’s worth checking coverage. The guidance here is to choose a curtain width 1.5–2 times your pole, and to measure the drop from pole to your desired length. That’s the difference between “blackout-ish” and “properly blocked” in real rooms.
Also, double-check what heading fit you need. The pencil pleat design is stated to suit both poles and tracks, but since accessories aren’t included, you’ll still want to make sure you already have compatible rings/hooks or track fittings if needed.
Care & maintenance
They’re described as machine washable, which is useful if you’re putting blackout curtains in a kids’ bedroom or nursery where they’ll need regular cleaning. As always, check the care instructions in the listing before washing, because fabric performance can depend on how they’re handled.
Is it worth it?
Buy these Deconovo pencil pleat blackout curtains if you’re looking for stronger light blocking in a bedroom or nursery and you also want thermal help to steady temperatures through the year. They suit shift workers and light sleepers especially, and they can be a practical upgrade if your room faces street lamps, headlights or busy views.
Skip them if you’re not planning to match the recommended coverage (1.5–2 times your pole) or if you expect a “set and forget” outcome without measuring your window and hanging setup. If your main priority is purely decorative styling rather than light/temperature control, they may be more specialised than you need.
