Yes, blackout drapes can be an excellent choice for a bedroom, and they are often recommended for this space for several reasons:

Improved Sleep: blackout drapes can block a certain portion of light, which can be especially advantageous if you're light-sensitive and require daytime sleep or if your bedroom is exposed to external light sources such as streetlights.

Reducing Glare: If you have a television, computer, or other electronic devices in your bedroom, blackout drapes can help reduce glare on screens, making it easier to watch TV or work on your computer without the distraction of excessive light.

Temperature Control: By preventing excessive sunlight in the room, blackout drapes help maintain a cooler and more pleasant temperature during the hot summer months and retain warmth during the winter, enhancing your comfort and creating a cozy environment.

Yes — Drapery Thalos’s textile and backing are engineered to achieve approximately 90% blackout under lab conditions. Real-world blackout depends on installation method (inside-mount vs outside-mount), gaps at the sides/top/bottom, and color (darker colors block more light).

Drapery 90% Blackout Thalos’s dense, velvet-like weave and backing create a small insulating air layer at the window, improving thermal performance and helping reduce heating/cooling loss — so it can contribute to energy savings. The thick fabric also provides moderate sound dampening (less echo and reduced street noise), though it is not a full acoustic solution. Results vary by window type and installation.

To preserve the velvet-like nap and blackout backing, we recommend professional dry cleaning or following the garment tag instructions. For routine care, gently vacuum with a soft-brush attachment or brush in the direction of the nap to remove dust. Spot-clean small stains with a mild detergent and quick blotting; avoid high-heat machine washing and tumble-drying. For motorized units, always follow motor manufacturer instructions before removing or servicing fabric.
