Bed Tent Dream Tents Bed Canopy Shelter Cabin Indoor Privacy Warm Breathable Pop Up Twin Size for Kids and Adult Patent Pending(Mattress Not Included)

This is my second bed tent. There was nothing wrong with the other one, but I needed one in two places at the same time while I was moving-- it turned out to be lucky, as I wound up putting my bed on a loft and needed to be able to get into bed at the foot.The fabric is "thick enough" for my purposes-- I also have blackout curtains, and sleep in a mask, etc., but I think if you were really light sensitive and relying solely on this to block out enough light to preserve your sleep in the morning, this wouldn't do it-- though I think I would have to say the same of my previous one. Just something to be aware of.Privacy-wise, once this thing is closed, you are in total visual privacy. Obviously, this isn't going to do anything for the sound, so don't talk about any secret war plans, if that's something you take seriously.On my old one, the side panels unzipped completely, and it was the ends that had small half-moon windows with optional mesh. With this only the head and foot open fully, but they also have the optional mesh (you can mix-and-match). The side panels are only about a third of the length on the sides, and they don't open all that high. You can easily get in and out that way (I'd prefer it, if it were an option for me). I also set up my bed so that those openings are at the head-end, rather than the foot.Given that you can fully unzip the material layer at either end and just leave the screen in place, it's easy to say that ventilation is no problem, but unless you're planning to use this as an actual out-in-the-world tent (and it's made for that, too-- no reason to say no to it), you'd be sacrificing that sense of enclosure that can be the reason you wanted a bed tent in the first place.Unfortunately, and it should be expected, if you have the tent closed up, it can quickly become an uncomfortable place to sleep-- it warms up quickly, and gets real humid. My solution was to buy some 4" ducting and some inline duct fans and pump fresh air in (the sound is just like running a quiet fan at night). I've gone a bit overboard with my system, but really, you just want to pump air in one end and have it go out the other. I added the ability to draw in fresh air, and also to pull air straight from the AC, and to choose between the two depending upon which is colder. You don't need to go to all that trouble, but you will want to get the air inside your tent frequently replaced with the air outside your tent.This tent is a bit more straightforward than my other one (which I couldn't get folded back up properly and is probably becoming a twisted hulk in my car right now), though that would be more of a problem if I intended to take it somewhere and then have to get it home again. It's funny I don't remember perfectly, as it was only three months ago, but the tent arrives in a circular fabric bag. Opening that bag as the tent spring out into its half-moon shape, and then you assemble the three 3-segment poles and slide them down the length. There was definitely some trouble getting them in due to the very tight tolerance in the lengths, and needing to get the end of the pole inside, and seated and zipped up. It was not terrible, though.

I got the twin as a brooder for my growing ducklings. It came packaged well inside its carrying/storage case. It's very well made, stitching is nice and tight, and the ducklings are super happy. I like how the top and bottom are solid material and the rest is mesh for great circulation. I ended up putting a piece of OSB on top of a table (cut to the size of the tent), then pieced together some puzzle matting on top of that for padding and finally the tent.The tent literally took minutes to assemble; all that is needed is to insert the poles. I LOVE how the assembly instructions are sewn into the storage case! Nice move! It looks fantastic. Small enough to not take up an entire room and big enough to let the growing duckling stretch their little legs with a sprint. Am extremely pleased so far.

This is such a cool product! It is well made and the zippers are good quality. A normal twin bed fit in it, but we did notice a gap (3” or so) along the middle by the middle arch. Not sure if ours was defective this way or if it’s always that way, but we did have a toddler slip her legs off the mattress while sleeping into the side…. We moved her back onto the mattress and hoped she would learn how to stay on the mattress. Our biggest challenge though was all the zippers are two sided so there is full inside access to opening the zippers. Our little gal loves zippers and 4 zippers is too much to figure out own to keep her in the bed without unzipping and coming out whenever she pleased (by night two she had it figured out!) so we’re returning. Wanted to love and keep this but may try again once she’s older. She’s 2 currently for reference.

I received a queen instead of a twin size so it is saggy on my bed but the zippers and mesh are good quality. The fabric blocks most light but is a little see through where light sources are. It is hard to fold up, will require 2 people to put away. I use this in my dorm to create a private space in my shared room. It is a great college gift and all tears in the material that have occurred have been my fault. Perfect for a sensory hideaway, fort, or cave for any age. I do wish there were hooks or something to attach fairy lights to the ceiling of the tent better. There is a hook to hang a small and light lamp or something though. I would also love to see an opening somewhere to run cords through for charging devices without opening the flaps. Make sure to brush out or vacuum the sides of the mattress sometimes because all of the debris from the bed will fall down the sides and collect there since it can't fall all the way to the floor.

I assembled the tent by myself. My son loves it! He is a big size kid for age 12, but he has plenty of space to lay and sit up! He loves the enclosed feeling as he is autistic. And the light hanging inside the tent is a plus for the nights he’s not quite ready for sleep. Definitely a good investment for children on the spectrum!

Works great my son loves it. He's autistic so it's a nice dark place for him to relax.
