tucked up
Wrapped in blankets
Tucked up describes being settled snugly in bed, typically with blankets arranged closely around the body: The children were tucked up and asleep by eight.
The phrase suggests warmth, comfort, and security—often used when describing children at bedtime.
In British slang, tucked up can also mean cheated or betrayed: He got tucked up by his business partner.
