As the weather gets colder, you might be thinking of new and innovative ways to save a bit of cash on your heating bills. Not all the solutions have to be super high-tech and complicated – something as simple as thermal insulated curtains can be a huge money-saver, ensuring that your warmth doesn’t seep out through your windows.
And right now, Amazon is offering 20% off a set of Deconovo Solid Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtains, taking them down to just £28.89 instead of £35.99. This is for the black version in the 55×69 size – there are a couple of dozen different colours and finishes to choose from, with sizes to pick from to fit your windows – although not every colour has this same deal on it.
Whichever you pick, you’ll get a set of curtains that are simple and easy to mount thanks to eyelets – this means you don’t need to worry about fiddly curtain hooks or anything like that. Since they’re blackout curtains, they’ll let pretty much no light through at all, and that combined with their thermal properties should make for really cosy and snuggly nights.

The user reviews for the curtains are very impressive, too – from over 62,000 ratings they’ve got an average score of 4.4 stars. One of these happy customers said: “The material looks and feels so rich. It was as I would have expected if I had bought it from a high-end store. Drapes very beautifully, and really does its job of blocking out the light. I’m impressed and extremely happy with this purchase.”

AmazonA second added: “What a bargain. Because of the price of these curtains I was a little nervous about what I was going to receive but I was pleasantly surprised. I require two sets of curtains in my bedroom and wanted black so I didn’t want to have to spend big money for curtains that would fade quite quickly, as black does. These curtains are fantastic for the price, material is lovely, stitching is tidy and the hems are even.”
Another user wrote: “They block 100% of light, perfect for creating a dark, peaceful atmosphere in bedrooms or living rooms. With effective thermal insulation, they help regulate room temperature, reducing energy costs year-round. The modern eyelet design makes installation easy and adds a contemporary touch.” A third added: “Delighted with these curtains, totally blackout and so soft, plus reasonably priced.”
Others have been critical, though. One user said: “It was a bit creased when I took it out of the packaging – which possibly wouldn’t have been an issue had the material been heavier – but that’s nothing I can’t sort out with a steamer.” Another griped: “Great for how cheap they are but they are definitely not completely blackout, so if you need that get a liner.”
There are many options out there if you’re searching for curtains. Debenhams stocks the Enhanced Living Eyelet Thermal Noise reducing Dim Out Curtains with prices ranging from £22.99 – £70.99 depending on the colour and size. Over at Dunelm, you can pick up a set of the Montreal Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains which are currently 30% off with prices ranging from £28 – £69.30.
For the ease of delivery and simplicity of installation, though, you’d have to say that Amazon’s Deconovo Solid Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtains are a superb option. For less than £30 you’ll be getting a great pair of curtains with quick delivery.
