How does one choose blackout curtains for their (master) bedroom? I did a google search and there are literally hundreds of options -

I had to try many different panels before I found a true blackout for my son's bedroom. BBB only had grommet types in the store and so I ordered the back tab Eclipse 100% Blackout in polyester velvet charcoal color. In the stores, I used my phone's flashlight feature to test fabric! Good luck.

I bought mine at JC Penney. They had back tab blackout panels (10' long because I have 10' ceilings) on sale for $9 per panel. They're 100% blackout and perfect!

What is back tab? Are grommet frowned upon or liked for blackout curtains?

@kbear_15 - grommet top lets light through. Back tab, there are 'tabs' of fabric on the "street side" of the curtains that you put the curtain rod through.
