Why families use a blackout tent

A dark, quiet space in seconds, anywhere in the house.

A calm-down space

When the day gets too loud or too bright, they have somewhere dark to retreat to. The tent blocks about 95% of light and cuts out visual distractions.

Quiet reading, rest or naps

A cosy nook for a book, a nap or winding down before bed. Many families leave it up as an everyday hideaway.

Home, classroom or therapy room

Pops up in seconds in a bedroom, lounge, classroom or clinic, so a quiet space is ready whenever it is needed.

Holidays and visits

Folds flat into its tote, so a familiar safe space can come along to grandparents, holidays and appointments.

My daughter uses the tent as a reading nook every evening. We added fairy lights and cushions and it feels like her own little sanctuary. Before this she would wander around the house instead of settling down. Now she goes straight to the tent with a book.

  14. Tristan (verified owner) –

    This is absolutely wonderful for anyone who loves dark enclosed spaces! Bought for a child on the spectrum whom is always finding dark rooms or tight spaces.

  15. Jessa (verified owner) –

    Easy to set up. Quality is great.

  16. Dessa (verified owner) –

    Bought this my daughter. She really likes it.

  17. Christine –

    Quality is fine, i guess better than many other cheap options you’ll find in e-com these days. The size is also true to the described spec. Overall, it does the job

  18. Willie –

    Pop up function works as advertised. We have another tent at home which my daughter loves, but we found this one so she can take it to the park during picnics and socialisation days with peers (she’s homeschooled). Very useful for that purpose!

  19. Emma (verified owner) –

    The portability is great but would be inclined to recommend more if shipping time was better. good enough buy tho

  20. Farah –

    The tent is just what we needed for sensory breaks. The blackout helps a lot during naps and it’s light to move around.
    Recommended for families. Plus the support team was very accommodating of my questions. ❤️

  21. Karen –

    Quick to set up, packs down fast. Love that I can move it between rooms without swearing at it. Haha

  22. Sam (verified owner) –

    MY CHILD LOVES THIS THING MORE THAN HIS ACTUAL ROOM. If he’s missing, he’s in the tent. That’s it. That’s the review. Worth it.

  23. Kian (verified owner) –

    my nephew who gets overstimulated easily. the enclosed space helps him switch from chaos mode to calm pretty quickly. I’m honestly impressed with how gentle the blackout is ,doesn’t feel suffocating at all.

  24. Nath (verified owner) –

    Kids appreciate the safe enclosed feeling and respond well. Not clinical-grade equipment, but very effective for home settings or soft-skill sessions. will gladly recommend

  25. Cam –

    One of our kiddos has big feelings and struggles to settle after visits. This tent gave them privacy without disappearing from the room. A small thing that made a massive difference.

  26. Victor –

    Rock solid little tent. Doesn’t wobble, doesn’t stink, doesn’t annoy me. Kid sits in there and zones out after school

  27. Jess (verified owner) –

    I got this for a client who hates bright lights. Works well. It was a bit crinkly out the bag but sorted itself out. Good airflow too.

  28. Tasha –

    the tent is good but courier left it in the rain. annoying. dried fine though.

  29. Karra (verified owner) –

    I use this tent with kids who need a break between demanding tasks. The structure blocks visual clutter enough to help the nervous system settle down. One child with strong sensory-seeking behaviour used this tent as a “reset pod”, dropping inside it whenever things got too much. I also appreciate that the material doesn’t have a harsh smell like some products. Shipping was standard, nothing fancy, but it arrived without damage.
    The best part though? It helps generalise regulation skills to different environments. Big win for therapy goals 💕

  30. Sherry (verified owner) –

    kid sleeps better now. thats the whole review tbh. Its a rather big win for us parents who both work revolving shifts and unpredictable schedules

  31. Neville (verified owner) –

    The young person I support struggles with transitions between activities. We introduced the tent as a buffer space between tasks.
    They’ll sit inside for a few minutes with a fidget toy and come out noticeably calmer. It’s now part of their daily routine.

  32. Bini (verified owner) –

    Students with sensory sensitivity benefit from having a predictable calming space.
    This tent has become an important part of our classroom regulation strategies.

  33. Liam (verified owner) –

    Happy that its extremely portable!

  34. Lenny –

    After-school program for kids aged 8-9. the environment can get pretty loud and chaotic. I got the tent thinking it might function as a quiet corner where kids could go when they felt overwhelmed.
    What surprised me most was how quickly the young people respected the space. They treat it almost like a rule; if someone is inside the tent, others leave them alone. It’s simple but incredibly effective.

The questions we get asked most

Bed canopies stay on the bed for sleep. Pop-up tents stand on the floor for quiet time and calm-down breaks during the day, and fold away when you don’t need them.

About 95% of light is blocked once the tent is zipped closed. The large 120cm tent is double-coated inside to block out virtually all light.

The small round tent is 90cm across and 75cm high, and the medium cube is 100cm on every side. Both are sized for one child. The large 120cm cube has room for an adult to sit inside with a child, and it is wheelchair accessible.

Yes. The Oxford fabric lets air through even when the tent is fully zipped.

No. You can add one of our play mats, and we usually recommend the Grey Tent Playroom Mat.

Grey Tent Playroom Mat

Yes. The frame is flexible, so children can push, lean and press against the walls without it collapsing. If a side gets bent out of shape, twist it back and it springs into place.
