A blanket fort is a construction commonly made using blankets, bed sheets, pillows, and sofa cushions.[1] A blanket fort is also sometimes referred to as a couch fort or pillow fort.
As a staple of early childhood entertainment, blanket forts are commonly referenced in children's books including Corduroy's Sleepover and If You Give a Pig a Party. Parenting books frequently suggest building blanket forts as an activity for parents to participate in with their children.[2][3]
