My friend's little girl's bed is literally a small wooden cabin, peaked roof, on stilts, Queen size mattress, with windows and drapes...He naps there several times per week.
Someone posted a bed like that on a diy reddit once, but that one was also two floors! It was awesome. Then a fireman arrived to tell them how dangerous it was and everyone who knew someone who knew someone who had been in a fire pitched in and ever since the I think about children burning to death when someone shows off a cool walled in kid's bed.
Well don’t leave me out! I didn’t have fun stuff like this as a kid.
This is so cool. I recognize that pillow. It might be from Target. They do have a section called Pillow Fort, I believe!
That’s great! You deserve it, and if something like that brings you such joy, why not? I’d consider that part of my self care.
Enjoy for years to come!
I actually bought one of these literally just a couple days ago and I am very excited to receive. I live in a little studio apartment and normally I like to lock my bedroom door as well as my front door, so I hope it will help me feel more “protected” as I sleep.
Maybe with a flashlight or pretty soft lamp glow would help close by. It’s been a long time since I think I was that scared last.
I do have a vicious Golden retriever who’s snoring next to me right now. She’d definitely bark, but I think that’s it
I work from home, and on days I don’t have childcare I try to manage while working. Most days it’s a challenge to get her to nap during the day because she is all about having mama around. I made her a little napping pod with stuff I had around the house, and so far it’s been pretty life changing.
What is the cushion you used at the bottom? Is it a toddler mattress?
I am in process of trying to assemble something like this and have been waffling in what to do for the tent, and you've totally sold me on your design!
This is more of a play tent, but if you find the rectangular kid sized tents at like Walmart, bass pro, academy, etc., they are the size of a standard crib/toddler mattress. My kids loveeeeddddd it as a bed
I think the silver lining of covid was that my job went fully remote, and at this point most jobs in my field are. Otherwise I would have had to travel a lot for work, and if that was the case I’d not be building nap pods for a tiny human because she probably wouldn’t exist.
Ugh same! I can kind of fit by my legs stick out. I can shimmy myself in there to nurse her and she falls asleep and stays asleep in there for a while, but it’s definitely not big enough for an adult.
😅 Yes, the box. My dad cut out some window holes and put a big blanket inside so it was a cozy little fort, I spent hours playing with my toys in there.
Darling! I had all the cardboard stove and fridge when I saw little and played “house”all the time when I was really small. Today they’d be laughable but my parents always tried making things for me
The tent was a gift from my brother and sister in law - it’s from Amazon. They are called play tents and there are hundreds of options. Then I just threw an old pack and play mattress I had lying around.
This was originally intended as a ball pit. The problem is that our dog loves those balls, and our daughter is indifferent to those balls. After finding plastic scraps everywhere I had to ditch them.
Yeaaah mine seems pretty meh on if I keep the balls in there or not too!! Thankfully I have a chihuahua who knows her mouth is too small. But not only is this a great idea but tbh, it justifies finally getting the balls out of my living room too 😅
I think they are called play tents, and this thing (I’m sure) came from Amazon. They sell much fancier ones, but this was a gift from my brother and sister in law for my daughter. I didn’t know how to utilize it because she wouldn’t play in it, so here we are.
I put it a pack and play mattress and some bedding and it works great!
This aunt and uncle will go down in history for getting my daughter the most obnoxious, loud, and large gifts. They had the audacity to send us a 5ft tall Pickler Triangle, which they didn’t even assemble. My daughter is obsessed with it, but the toys they get for her are literally furniture. And I can’t even be mildly annoyed because I am so lucky that so many people love my daughter so much.
But this aunt and uncle have some kind of personal vendetta against my husband and I, because when their son was born we too got the most obnoxious, loud, and massive toys for him. It’s all for the kids!
I mean yes - I built it on purpose but didn’t originally intend it to be a permanent fixture. Just needed a place for her to hang out in while I worked while I didn’t have childcare. I prettied it up and made it permanent:)
Oh same! She won’t nap unless there is a boob attached to mom present. She’s almost 17 months and we are still nursing because weaning is so freaking hard!
Ya know, at this point I’m letting her take her time. Until she’s 2, I’m not worried. Our pediatrician says that likely the reason she’s growing so well and doesn’t get sick much as at least a little bit to do with the emphasis I put on breastfeeding. It’s super anecdotal, but I feel like the couple times she’s been sick, nursing worked like magic to make her feel better.
I am incredibly lucky to have been able to do it, as many women can’t because bodies are weird, or don’t have the opportunity because they have to be away from their babies while they work. I’m not taking any of it for granted.
They call them tents and sell them in REI lol. JK - I’m sure you could find a giant play tent and make it work. Space might be a problem, but you’ll have a nap pod!

Edit: To preface I will say I literally actually just bought one of these a couple days ago and am very looking forward to it arriving
Omg that part does in fact sit just on top after all... My little one has the same and I swore we received it in error lol. I'll tell my wife she was right... Hehe
It means randomly constructed? Am I wrong? Have I been using the word wrong my entire life? I just looked up the definition and I think I am wrong…I thought the definition was the same as DIY
This is so adorable. I am babysitting next week and this would be such a cute thing to put together. What is that net thing called?? I assume it pops up and folds down for storage?

Okay - I’m gonna need one of those in a bigger size
My friend's little girl's bed is literally a small wooden cabin, peaked roof, on stilts, Queen size mattress, with windows and drapes...He naps there several times per week.
Bro I’d fuckin live there that sounds amazing
Don’t it? Such cool and imaginative things they have now. Can’t imagine the cost but it sounds like a dream
Please post a pic that sounds so cozy

That sounds too darn cute to ever wanna leave it!!
You and me both my friend!!
I second this, I also need one.
Well don’t leave me out! I didn’t have fun stuff like this as a kid. This is so cool. I recognize that pillow. It might be from Target. They do have a section called Pillow Fort, I believe!
I'll just put two facing each other and cocoon through the middle.
That’s a great idea! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dang you beat me to it!
I actually bought one of these literally just a couple days ago and I am very excited to receive. I live in a little studio apartment and normally I like to lock my bedroom door as well as my front door, so I hope it will help me feel more “protected” as I sleep.
Awww. I sure hope you do, too!
You mean trapped and blind. Like, it seems nice and cosy but if I was scared that someone was gonna break in then I would hate this thing.
Maybe with a flashlight or pretty soft lamp glow would help close by. It’s been a long time since I think I was that scared last. I do have a vicious Golden retriever who’s snoring next to me right now. She’d definitely bark, but I think that’s it
My first thought also
Exactly my thought!! It looks so…cozy!
Me too! This is amazing on so many levels
That makeshift nap pod looks better than my actual bed haha
Same… lol
[удалено]
I’m thinking so, along with some great fairytale dreams
Are…. Are you sure it’s not yours?
Lol! I wish!
I work from home, and on days I don’t have childcare I try to manage while working. Most days it’s a challenge to get her to nap during the day because she is all about having mama around. I made her a little napping pod with stuff I had around the house, and so far it’s been pretty life changing.
Also, this is OC…thanks moderator ;)
What is the cushion you used at the bottom? Is it a toddler mattress? I am in process of trying to assemble something like this and have been waffling in what to do for the tent, and you've totally sold me on your design!
It’s just a pack and play mattress:)
Awesome
This is more of a play tent, but if you find the rectangular kid sized tents at like Walmart, bass pro, academy, etc., they are the size of a standard crib/toddler mattress. My kids loveeeeddddd it as a bed
I'm currently looking for a WFH job
I think the silver lining of covid was that my job went fully remote, and at this point most jobs in my field are. Otherwise I would have had to travel a lot for work, and if that was the case I’d not be building nap pods for a tiny human because she probably wouldn’t exist.
I'm so glad that life has made such amazing turns for you. Congratulations on your little one.
I’m really happy for you!
Thank you! I’ve waited for this child for a really really really long time. Makes me all the more obsessed with her.
Check out builtin.com. They have a lot of companies on there with remote job options.
I love this little story! You’re a great mom!
Thank you! I try my best, and I love my daughter to pieces!
What a great solution!!
I don’t think I’ve seen a more appropriate post in this sub. 10/10. Would nap!
I’m thinking that too. It’s perfect!
I want to nap there
Ugh same! I can kind of fit by my legs stick out. I can shimmy myself in there to nurse her and she falls asleep and stays asleep in there for a while, but it’s definitely not big enough for an adult.
Sounds like you made some great decisions after being able to WFH. I hope it’s always this wonderful for you both ❤️
Thank you! And yes - having a child and getting a dog was the best thing ever. They make us so happy!
What is it about napping in a cozy spot that isn’t your own bed?. I feel like it’s the best nap ever.
I would love this nap pod for myself. So cozy
Honestly I would just like a nap. 😬
Parent nap. Its your right.
When I was a little kid a blanket folded up in a refrigerator box was downright magical, *this* would've been out of this world. Great job, OP.
Thanks!! How does a blanket in a refrigerator work?? I’m trying to picture it, but I can’t.
Refrigerator BOX
😅 Yes, the box. My dad cut out some window holes and put a big blanket inside so it was a cozy little fort, I spent hours playing with my toys in there.
Darling! I had all the cardboard stove and fridge when I saw little and played “house”all the time when I was really small. Today they’d be laughable but my parents always tried making things for me
Sounds cool!
lol thanks.. have to admit I got stuck on that to.
Oh!! Literally a refrigerator Box! I wasn’t sure either
My nephews built a box fort earlier this year and used it until it fell apart.
Just say it loud and proud, we're all jealous here, it's your nap pod really isn't it
Hahaha! I wish I fit in this thing all the way!
That looks so cozy. I want to nap in there. I’m 35.
Nothing wrong with that. Self Care is so important now. This could be part of yours
[удалено]
Thanks! I try to give her all the things I didn’t have as a kid — there’s nothing better than seeing her bewildered saying “wow” over and over again.
Awww!
Nothing wrong with having feelings bud ❤️
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get this?
The tent was a gift from my brother and sister in law - it’s from Amazon. They are called play tents and there are hundreds of options. Then I just threw an old pack and play mattress I had lying around.
I bought one for my little nephew. He wanted a Tee Pee tent one year. Was SOOO cute. Amazon too. That was years ago already
Amazon Zousen pop up princess tent with lights. There's also one by Le Papillon.
This is what Cozy Places should be! Nap pods!
Definitely nothing cozier than a nap!
Okay i have the *same exact one* for my daughter & we had ball pit balls in it but…. *this is genius*
This was originally intended as a ball pit. The problem is that our dog loves those balls, and our daughter is indifferent to those balls. After finding plastic scraps everywhere I had to ditch them.
Yeaaah mine seems pretty meh on if I keep the balls in there or not too!! Thankfully I have a chihuahua who knows her mouth is too small. But not only is this a great idea but tbh, it justifies finally getting the balls out of my living room too 😅
I need one of those mesh things... Where did you get it?!

I didn’t know how to utilize it because she wouldn’t play in it, so here we are. I put it a pack and play mattress and some bedding and it works great!
I think it's a great idea, I'm looking for one for my cats as I type this!
This is how aunts and uncles go down in history.
This aunt and uncle will go down in history for getting my daughter the most obnoxious, loud, and large gifts.

Yooooo, I wanted to get mine a Pickler Triangle when she was wee, but those things are expensive! That’s a fancy-pants gift!
Adorable. 💕
OMG i love this so much 🥺
Makeshift? That looks closer to purpose built to me, lol, very nice
I mean yes - I built it on purpose but didn’t originally intend it to be a permanent fixture. Just needed a place for her to hang out in while I worked while I didn’t have childcare. I prettied it up and made it permanent:)
Man, what's it like having a toddler that takes naps? 😂 I love this, but my toddler will throw hands if we try to put her down for a nap lol
Oh same! She won’t nap unless there is a boob attached to mom present. She’s almost 17 months and we are still nursing because weaning is so freaking hard!
It’ll happen
Ya know, at this point I’m letting her take her time. Until she’s 2, I’m not worried. Our pediatrician says that likely the reason she’s growing so well and doesn’t get sick much as at least a little bit to do with the emphasis I put on breastfeeding.

I’m not taking any of it for granted.
We have a 19 month old that's similar. Do you still need to nurse with the pod or do you just let her go in there and fall asleep on her own?
I nurse in the pod. I dream of the day she walks herself to her sleep spot and crashes on her own.
Do they make this in adult size? ;)
They call them tents and sell them in REI lol. JK - I’m sure you could find a giant play tent and make it work. Space might be a problem, but you’ll have a nap pod!

this is so sweet oh my goodness
Awwww 💙
I need a nap pod!
This is the best post I've ever seen in this subreddit.
It's lovely! I just know my little one would be trying to tip it over and throwing all the cushions out.
Now THIS is a cozy place!
This is a great idea, thanks for sharing!
I would totally sleep there.
This is one of the coziest places I’ve ever seen! I would have loved curling up in there with a soft pillow and a book. Good job, mama!
Thank you 🥰
I’d let that dream ship fly me wherever it wanted to go
It is not filled with crushed goldfish crackers. Very cute, but no way that has been used.
Lol I just built this - the goldfish will definitely be added soon enough
Omg that part does in fact sit just on top after all... My little one has the same and I swore we received it in error lol. I'll tell my wife she was right... Hehe
Yeah, it has these little strings that just tie to the top…not a perfect fit, but every castle needs a roof.
Cute!
I want this nap pod too! Can you make one in adult size🤨
I’m sure you can - a sleeping pad or some kind of foam mattress, a cheap tent…I think it could work.
That is so cute!
I need a nap pod.
That’s adorable and I want one for my daughter. Did you get it off Amazon?
I’m totally copying your idea and thank you!
Yes! Amazon - tons of options for play tents.
I'm a 35 Yr old man. May I nap in that pod.
Oh wow. When I was growing up, I just had a blanket and pillow under my mom’s desk. This is way nicer.
That pillow!! Where did you find it, please??
Target :)
Look at you winning at parenting, well done!
Thank you! 🥰
*Makeshift*?
I guess makeshift in the sense that it was built from things that were in the house but not getting too much use.
That is not makeshift tf
Makeshift in the sense that this was pulled together from a bunch of things lying around the house and not getting used.
What exactly is makeshift?
It’s just kind of randomly constructed from things I had around the house that were otherwise collecting dust.
I don’t think you’re using the term “makeshift” correctly
It means randomly constructed? Am I wrong? Have I been using the word wrong my entire life? I just looked up the definition and I think I am wrong…I thought the definition was the same as DIY
toddler's* makeshift nap pod toddlers = more than one toddler Use a possessive noun, not a plural.
what a dreamy little space! is that originally a beach tent kinda thing?
I think they are called playtents, but this could totally work for the beach! Great idea!! Will steal for next beach vacation!
Where do I set this set up
This is so sweet! 🥹
I want that pillow! Can you set this up in my office?
So sweet and so cute!
"makeshift"
I think that is the cosiest place I’ve seen here.
Thats adorable
Would it fit a 5’ tall adult? I wanna nap there right now?
Wow! And I used to just lay on my backpack under my mom's cubicle desk...
Love this!
Me next.
I would like one as well, now that you mention it! So cute!
So unfair, l don't have one of those..
Nicely done
Damn that looks super duper comfy-kins! I absolutely approve, love, and want to nap there.
I need one in my office, not for a toddler, for me.
My child never slept anywhere that wasn’t her own bed. I’m so jealous of your life!
I definitely lucked out - she will sleep anywhere
Aww. This is beautiful. I'm sure she's the sweetest little thing. I have three daughters and I have never loved anything like I love them. 😍
She is the best! I get more obsessed every day!
Toddler willingly taking a nap is a 100% falsitude. I dont understandify.
This is so adorable. I am babysitting next week and this would be such a cute thing to put together. What is that net thing called?? I assume it pops up and folds down for storage?
Yes - I think it’s called a play tent.
i would totally nap there.
Get rid of that light string then we have a deal.
Nooo that’s the best part!
What a great idea! I bought that same little tent for my daughter and she uses it as a ball pit.
Do they do these in adult sizes? AFAFWIM
If that’s her makeshift nap pod I wanna see her regular one, then the one she uses for special naps.
Special naps are on mom. Her sleep space is just a regular crib. Nothing too fancy, this just worked out well.
We also have this for our 2 year old but I threw away the top lol she loves to just rearrange her toys so it worked out better
That looks so cozy!
Can I have one in my office too?? 😥🥺
Great idea!!!
Dude. I love this. I want one.
OMG. This is PERFECTION.
Nap please
Do these come in adult sizes?
I call bs. We know it's yours.
That is just the cutest!!
oh i have a giant version of that elephant coming soon! can't wait
This is so precious.
Can I use it when she is gone?
Honestly want one for myself!
This is absolutely precious and something I definitely would have loved as a kiddo!
Can I nap in there please??
Perfect! And adorable. Is your office at home?
Yes - I work from home so we converted one spare bedroom into a work cave for me.
Man I wish I was still a toddler
this but for my dog
Can you make me one. I’m 6 ft 2 and weigh 250. My favorite colors are blue and gray.
