A blanket fort is a construction commonly made by children, 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. In addition, building such forts is a frequently suggested activity for parents to participate in with their children, in parenting books.^[2]^[3]
