The curtains are crafted from a soft brushed fabric and feature contemporary eyelet detailing for easy hanging.

Overwhelmingly Positive Customer Reviews
The thermal curtains from Marks and Spencer have earned an impressive 4.6-star rating from a substantial 533 reviews. Many customers confirm that the products live up to their promises.
One satisfied buyer commented, "I’m no expert on curtains, but these simply do the job. They have a good weight to them, and very little (if any) light gets through, so I presume the same is true for heat. I would certainly buy them again."
Another review echoed this sentiment, stating, "As always with goods purchased from M&S these curtains are good quality and do what they are supposed to do: keep light out and warmth in!"
A third shopper praised both the aesthetics and functionality, saying, "The curtains look rich in a navy hue. They are very functional, just as described. No light or draft coming through. Great value for money." One particularly happy customer summarised the benefits perfectly: "The room darkening and thermal elements really work well for a bedroom and any room to retain warmth."
How They Compare to Other Retailers
For those considering alternatives, the market offers other options. Next sells its Natural Heavyweight Chenille Eyelet Blackout/Thermal Curtains, which come in seven colours and are priced between £70 and £165. Meanwhile, budget-friendly retailer Dunelm offers the Herringbone Chenille Thermal Eyelet Curtains for a very competitive £30, which also boast a lining designed to block light, noise, and cold.
While most feedback for the M&S curtains is positive, a small number of critical reviews mentioned issues with creasing upon arrival. One customer was dissatisfied with the colour and material, stating the product was "not as described" and returned it. However, another review specifically countered the creasing concern, noting the material "hung very well with no creasing."
The Brushed Eyelet Blackout Thermal Curtains are available for purchase directly from the Marks and Spencer website, offering a practical solution for enhancing home comfort and efficiency this season.
