**Dream Tents Bed Canopy Shelter - Pop Up Twin Size for Kids & Adults - Indoor Privacy Cabin, Warm & Breathable (Mattress Not Included) - Perfect for Camping, Sleepovers & Cozy Bedroom Retreats**

I bought this because my kid keeps sneaking into the masters room every night. I was the same exact way during his age. So I know already it’s not the dark he’s scared of. He’s scared of reflections from mirrors, windows, shadows, open doors etc. Psychologically, think of cavemen days. People felt safer sleeping in caves because it’s protected from the elements and predators can only come in from one way and you can always block it off. this tent provides the same concept, that’s why it’s popular with the kids.He also keeps asking me to build a fort in the living room with him using blankets. I’ve hated this because he once did this and left soda and snacks in the fort and ants got in and it was a pain washing multiple thick blankets. Thankfully, I found this in Amazon!First, my tiny mom self and tiny child were able to set this up ourselves. There was a bunk full-bed mattress that had to be taken out, then this thing pops up like a camping tent, rods inserted in, mattress needed to be lifted up the bunk again and inserted into the tent. If us tiny humans can do it anyone physically healthy can.Both ends of the tent have entrance zippers. They also have window zippers. This is perfect because when I’m in there I feel like I can’t breathe so I “crack a window” open. It does get hot in there (and he’s using it now during the coldest month of the year) so i can’t imagine what it would be like in the summer time. The good news is my kid likes to take his shirt off at night, so I do feel better that it’s hot in there so he doesn’t get a cold. In the summer, I plan on blowing a fan in there for him. So even with some windows unzipped for air, it’s still dark in there at night which is good for my kid because he discovered he likes it pitch black.My other favorite pro: it’s perfect for movies. No other room in the house is dark enough for my projector. So we have one end of the tent against a wall. When it’s movie time, we unzip that side and use the beige wall as a screen.My other favorite pro: I have a naughty cat that twice peed on that bunk bed. We have no idea why because he doesn’t do it anywhere else. Our theory is that my son had peed a little on his blanket, we didn’t notice, but the cat did and thought he could too. We have to close that room all day but sometimes my son forgets. With this tent, the mattress is protected from the cat.One tiny con: the entrance zipper is a bit hard to close or open from inside the tent. I worry that one day it’ll just break. It hasn’t yet so we’ll see.Overall, a great investment for the kiddo, and also mine and husbands sleeping sanity.
