Everything about this tent
Download the step-by-step PDF guide for this tent
When a bedroom is bright or visually busy, the canopy closes it out and gives your child the same calm space to wind down in every night.
Mesh panels and zippered vents in the pongee fabric let air circulate, so the inside stays dark without getting stuffy.
Several zippered openings mean you can fully enclose the bed for the darkest setting, or leave sections open while your child gets used to it.
No tools and nothing fixed to the wall. Slide the mattress in, clip the fibreglass frame together and zip it closed. It folds flat into the storage bag included.

The questions we get asked most
Full blackout needs a heavy coated fabric that doesn’t breathe well, so it isn’t comfortable to sleep under night after night. Our bed canopies use a lighter, breathable fabric instead. It blocks around 75% of ambient light, which makes the space dark and calm without getting stuffy. For near-total darkness during the day, our pop-up blackout tents block about 95%.
Themed tents sit on a single bed and suit children aged about 4 to 10. Black canopies are made for darkness and come in single, king single, double and queen sizes, so they suit young teens through to adults.
Themed tents go at the head end of a standard single bed. The Seahorse Bed Tent is the only themed tent that also fits a king single. Each black canopy is made for one mattress size, so choose the one that matches your bed.
Both the themed tents and the black canopies are made for a bed frame, with the mattress inside the tent. The mattress holds the tent steady. No drilling or wall fixings are needed.
The mattress goes inside the tent, so take its thickness off the tent height. Themed tents are 80cm high, which leaves room to lie down and read. Black canopies are 120cm high, so most children and adults can sit upright.
Yes, as long as it is set up as instructed: on a bed frame with the mattress inside the tent. The weight of the mattress keeps it in place however much your child moves.
Yes. There is a little less room to move than without the tent, but you make the bed and change the sheets the same way.
Let them help set it up and choose what goes inside, such as their own pillow, a favourite toy or a string light. Use the tent for stories or quiet time before the first night, and keep the rest of the bedtime routine the same. We rarely get a tent back because it wasn’t used, but if it doesn’t work out you can return it within 30 days.

Eleanor (verified owner) –
Totally helped me with my insomnia. Blocks out light and distraction.
Grace Sherwood (verified owner) –
Absolutely fantastic. The tent arrived but the poles had snapped during transit. The customer service following this was absolutely amazing! They sent me the replacements immediately and were so easy to communicate with and kept in contact the entire time. Thank you so much our boy will love this! (Our son is ASD level 3) this will keep him safe throughout the night as he is a little Houdini 😁 we appreciate your help so much!

I was worried the size would not match the one in the photos (coz that’s ecommerce these days), but was pleasantly surprised. it’s very comfortable
Dina –
Ive been looking for a blackout tent for this size since forever!!! glad I found it here
Anne –
Shipping time terrible but the guy I talked to was nice enough. maybe an isolated incident. Product was fine
Krissy (verified owner) –
Epic tent. Blackout is no joke, feels like night even with lights on. My kid passed out in 10 mins, miracle stuff.
Angela (verified owner) –
Love the design. Looks simple but works great. I meditate in it sometimes when the house gets too loud, so it’s not just for kids honestly.
Nadia (verified owner) –
This tent gets used for EVERYTHING. Hide and seek, reading time, “no siblings allowed” space, and even a pretend spaceship. Didn’t expect it to be this versatile but here we are.
Trish (verified owner) –
Purchased for a participant who gets overwhelmed by visual clutter. This gave them a predictable sensory-friendly retreat. They even decorated the inside with little battery lights and calming textures. Huge improvement in afternoon meltdowns.
KC (verified owner) –
Couldn’t believe how much quieter bedtime got. He climbs in, shuts the flap, and winds himself down. We’ve gone from 90-minute bedtime battles to about 20 minutes. Unreal.
Mitch (verified owner) –
Turned this into a mini bedroom inside the bedroom. Still cracks me up but hey, my kid sleeps better so I’m not arguing. Haha
Tammy –
Pretty good. Material is lighter than expected but blackout works surprisingly well. i use it as a reading nook most days.
Tom (verified owner) –
It’s okay. Does the job but the poles felt a bit flimsy for my liking. Kid enjoys it though so can’t complain too much.
Jay (verified owner) –
Client uses this as a sensory retreat after community outings. Helps reduce the post-outing meltdowns we were dealing with before. Not too bulky and easy to move.
DJ (verified owner) –
very spacious i love it!!!

Debbie (verified owner) –
Little long to arrive but worth it. Once up, it instantly became our “calm cave”. Lights off, door zipped, no arguments. Nice material too.
Lee (verified owner) –
Decent. Didn’t like the courier leaving it on the wrong side of the fence but that’s not on the company.
Sheila (verified owner) –
This tent ended up being a great regulation tool. One client uses it as a transition buffer between school and homework. They’ll sit inside for 10 minutes with soft music and come out noticeably calmer. That kind of shift is huge for families.

Working with young people who have sensory sensitivity means you’re always hunting for tools that actually get used. This one surprised me. The structure creates a soft boundary around the person without feeling trapped.
One young person who normally paces constantly now sits inside for quiet breaks. That alone makes it worth the money. The quality is a lot better for its price. I feel like e commerce these days catfish their customers a lot, so my expectations were kinda “managed” from the start. But when it arrived, its actually pretty sturdy and the fabric is thicker than I anticipated. Overall great bang for your buck.
Joe (verified owner) –
Great for my insomia. I used to wear an eyemask but it irritates me so much and I always feel my face getting warm. This is a better solution for those who want total blackout
Krissy –
Great buy. Will order again
Ally (verified owner) –
We set this up in the quiet corner of our toddler room. Some kids just need a break from all the noise and movement, and the tent works perfectly for that.
It’s been used daily for several weeks now and still looks good. The material wipes clean easily and the structure hasn’t warped even with constant crawling in and out.
Tony (verified owner) –
Sleep has always been one of our biggest challenges. My son wakes easily and struggles with changes in light and noise. The bed tent gave him a defined space where he feels safe and calm.
He now climbs into the tent as part of his routine ,blanket, soft toy, torch for reading, and settles himself. It doesn’t solve everything, but it’s made bedtime so much less stressful for our whole family.
Belinda (verified owner) –
Our son used to wander out of bed constantly at night. Since getting the bed tent he climbs inside, reads a bit, and actually falls asleep. Didn’t expect something this simple to help so much but it definitely has.

It’s great to sleep in. I feel enclosed and safe. It is a little long for my bed and doesn’t stand up as much as it does in the photos. I will be using this for a long time. It is really well made. It isn’t exactly easy to put up. I did it on my own but it would be easier with two people. It did not come with instructions in the packaging, which was slightly disappointing, but I managed to work it out on my own. The two things I would have liked would be the ability to easily take it down during the day and put it up again at night and to have a different colour or pattern on the outside, something suitable for an adult, to make it more pleasing to the eye. All that to say, I love it, it is one of the best purchases I have ever made and I will be using it for a very long time. Thank you for producing such a great product.
