pillow forts

Cozy cushion constructions

A pillow fort is a temporary shelter built from pillows, blankets, and cushions, typically constructed by children for play.

The basic structure uses couch cushions as walls and blankets draped over furniture as roofing.

Adults sometimes build them nostalgically or for cozy movie-watching: We made a pillow fort and binged the whole series.
