For the record, none of this is new for me because I used to sleep with an actual tent on my bed and I also convinced my boss to let me set up my tent in a corner of the office to use as my "cubicle."
It's just kind of cool to have an actual tent made for this stuff.
We may not have real Hoverboards yet, but the future is still pretty cool!
@Alice I have a four-poster bed and I used to hang blackout curtains off of it. Let me just say that I get why rich people in the middle ages did this. It's totally awesome. Sadly, my cat loved fucking with the curtains so it had to go. Still though. Maybe I should try again.
Really the only downside is it takes up a huge amount of visual space in the room, made my bedroom feel smaller.
For anyone following along at home, I figured I'd provide daytime photos of the bed tent.
As you can see, it's not total blackout and some light does come in, but it's definitely not bad.
Additional photo with the sides rolled up so you can see the amount of light in the room.
Bonus photo for @mentallyalex showing that you can fit a Chicago Style Manual and a small sci-fi book in the pockets (will not be trying Style Manual again because my baby tent was straining). That being said, there are pockets on both sides, so four pockets total.
@Alice If one needs to kick a single foot out from under the blanket and off the side of the bed is the tent side flexible enough to allow that comfortably?
Me just two minutes ago: I wonder what a strange magical hybrid between race-car bed and dreamy fancypants Elizabethan bedchamber shit might look like.
@Alice@mentallyalex I would never ever expect you to cede your blackout tent to a guest, even one as auspicious as myself! That is your PRIVATE DOMAIN.
@Alice You can seriously consider yourself an influencer now -- and the company should give you a cut. At least four on this thread have bought one already. I see no downsides to it. I have two queen size beds in my house, so either I or my guests can use it, and it's washable AND freaking portable, so I envision myself putting this around my airbed in my big tent if I ever get to go camping again so morning sunlight doesn't bother me. WINNING! 🏕️
@Alice I'm thinking of getting something like that so I don't freeze to death in my drafty bedroom.
Does yours have a "floor"? My mattress is super heavy, I can't possibly lift it up on my own, so I'm looking for a floorless one that wraps around the mattress, if that makes sense.
@AdaraAstin It doesn't have a floor. The tent just slips over the sides of the mattress and the mattress becomes the "floor." I'd just measure your mattress and bed frame to ensure it will work.
@michaelgemar@Alice I set it up last night and hung a portable CO2 monitor on one of the hooks inside. Zero problems. Though I did have the zipper closest to that monitor open. But unless my monitor is malfunctioning, the levels were great, and the fabric seems incredibly breathable. I'm pretty happy with this! I should've aired the fabric out before sleeping in it though bc it did trigger my asthma, but that's a different problem. 🙄
@Alice When I looked a the ad, at first glance I thought these two were having a nice stretch side by side in their bed tent in matching wedding dresses. Bold move, bed tent company. 😂
@screambiogenesis@Alice I mean hey, we've all been trapped in a giant, old-timey TV wearing matching wedding dresses once or twice if we're being honest about it.
