I have a vent in my bedroom right in the middle, over my bed, which I never open. Being a late sleeper, it has been a constant irritation to have the morning sun coming through the vent cover and waking me up. So, I found this cushion that is intended as insulation but fits perfectly into the 14" vent opening and blocks out a lot of the light. Works great and sells for $10 at Camping World. (I suppose if I were handier and could bother buying a cushion and covering it with something, I could have gotten it cheaper.)

Luckily my shades are the room darkening kind, otherwise I would have replaced them with something also!

I tried one of those cushions but it didn't fit my vent, and then I got one of those cute little shades but it sprung or sprang or whatever you call it right off - so I've cut three pieces of that aluminum-foil bubble wrap 16"x16" and use adhesive velcro on two sides of each to stick them up. Works great.

I have trained myself in these days of early-morning sun-rises (summer) to turn over and sleep for one more hour, or so. Being sealed up like in a tomb is not for me, YET!

Same here Soos. I guess we're lucky that light doesn't ruin our sleep. I do use the cushions for insulation when too hot or too cold, tho.

I have those same cushions for both vents to block out the sun. They also keep the heat out as well!
