pillow fort

Soft bedroom stronghold

A pillow fort is a makeshift enclosure built from pillows, blankets, and cushions, typically constructed by children as a play space.

The appeal lies in creating a cozy, semi-private refuge: The kids spent the afternoon building a pillow fort in the living room.

Adults sometimes build them too, embracing nostalgia or comfort: We made a pillow fort and watched movies all weekend.
