When I first saw the Privacy Pop Bed Tent, the sequence of thoughts that ran through my mind went something like this:
“Wow, does that thing ever look incredibly stupid.”
“You could do terrible, terrible things in there and no one could see. ”
“No ass holes or the sun could ever wake me up!”
“…all of that is actually pretty great.”
So maybe I wouldn’t put it on my bed at home, but it actually looks like it would be the traveller’s (and the pervert’s) best friend.
Privacy Pop Bed Tent – YOU CAN’T COME IN MY FORT, OKAY?!
When it comes to looks, a bed tent is obviously not going to impress the ladies or improve your Feng Shui, but I have to admit it’s a pretty great idea when it comes to sharing your accommodations in any way but the sexy one. The Privacy Pop bed tent sets up under your mattress and can be lifted and zipped up easily, blocking out most light and ambient noise. For people who share dorm rooms, hostels, or small hotel rooms, this actually makes a lot of sense. I like that it folds down to a really manageable size, so if you are backpacking, strapping it to your bag isn’t too big a deal. Since hostel beds are usually pretty small, it allows you a bit of privacy from that creepy dude two bunks over who’s eyeing your socks, and lets you keep your stuff in your fortress of solitude with you so it’s much harder to get at. It’s marketed for people to sleep in, but I think what it comes down to is that it allows you to do…whatever it is you do… without prying eyes all up in your business. And, for those with extremely inconsiderate room mates, I’m pretty sure I’d choose a rocking bed tent over a bobbing bare ass and laboured breathing any day. Someone let me know if they manage to tip the scales with a girl by convincing her you have your own private bed fort so that no one will ever know that she came home with you.
You can snag a Privacy Pop bed tent at their website for $199.95.
they use have these for kid beds years ago though was more a normal tent shape and cost alot less. They came in brighter colors like red and pink or had various cartoon prints on them.
