My mother bought me one of these as a joke for her 29 year old metalhead son. Lemme tell you I LOVE this thing. It's a good light blocker for sleeping in late, it's pretty insulated for the winter. Some might find it claustrophobic, but I sleep better in 'enclosed' spaces, so I'm actually more comfortable sleeping in it than without. The pocket holds my cell phone comfortably to play music on while I sleep and actually angles the speaker in a way that the sound redirects along the tent itself. I was surprised by its durability, actually. The wiring in it is pretty firm and holds its shape well, and the vinyl is pretty thick and it's held up from being brushed on the way past, had some things dropped on it, and sat on a couple of times. It doesn't seem like the vinyl would give for anything that wasn't actually sharp. I was initially worried it might tear around the clips, but they actually sit mainly on the wiring and the sewn seams. Main issue I have is that it is for twin beds and I have a queen. It does fit on my bed with low clearance, which works for me because of the whole 'closed in space=better sleep' thing. The problem is that the curtains don't fit, so when I move at night they rustle and get caught up by the blankets. Minor gripe, really, and one i think a little store-bought vinyl and some work with a sewing machine could resolve. I'll probably have to take it down once it starts warming up, but it might be serviceable through the spring at least. And with the easy re-storage and the fact that the packaging is actually created with storing it in mind, I don't have any concern that I wouldn't be able to put it up next winter. All in all, great joke purchase that turned into a very usable item that I definitely expect to have up for the winter. Just wish I could have gotten that boss space one! Mine's the Winter Wonderland style.
Sarah Lee - Hey, no problem. Update on the durability, this thing is an absolute tank. I've sat on it a ton more times, brushed past it constantly, headbutted it repeatedly while sitting up too fast, sat on the curtains a ton as well, and whenever I need to get to my headboard I pull it forward out of the way. Not a lick of wear on it.
We got one of these for my 5 yr old daughter, and she absolutely loves it. My daughter has a loft bed and this says works on bunk beds, it does fit but touches the ceiling. I have found after about 4 months of use that it has retained shape and stood up against typical 5 yr old play, we do leave the door type flaps tied up most the time for plenty of circulation. I did have to make a slight modification to keep this tent in place and prevent the hooks which are intended to hold it in place tightly hooked. So if anyone has this problem I simply pulled the two plastic/nylon pieces towards the center underneath the mattress itself leaving approx 6 inches between them and used some electrical tape because of its durable and flexible quality around those half a dozen times and problem solved tent stays in place and hooks are taunt in place. I paid 19.99 at wal-mart for this and after purchase thought it was a bit high, and chose not to pay for the extra shipping cost for the offered flashlight. Thankyou
I bought one from Bj's Wholesale Club today (0ct 12) for $19.99, and it came with the light. The light has a button to press to change from a bright clear in front to a dimmer red, blue, or green light in back.
Thanks - still on the fence about getting one for my Grandson. In addition to the reading light, I would probably get one of those small, battery-operated, clip-on fans to try to offset the "stuffy" feeling inside.
Pennie Wilson A good idea. Don't know how you feel about Walmart, but they do sell small, lightweight, portable, durable, very handy LED flashlights for $1-believe it takes AA batteries or something quite similar. The batteries last long too if the light isn't accidentally left on several nights. It could easily be rigged to hang from the tent I would imagine. If not hung, then I'm sure your grandson could find a place nearby to keep it to use or to set it to help it illuminate the area overhead. Perhaps a small sewn on pocket would do the trick? I have young boys, 2 through 10 years old. They all really want one of these badly, hehe. Hope you have a nice Christmas.
I'm 64 and I use it on my napping twin bed in my downstairs finished basement work shop area . It works great for blocking out the over head lights . It was a hand me down from my grand baby that now has a queen size bed .
Thank you so much for posting this! I just bought a used one, and I could NOT figure out how to attach those U-shaped plastic pieces until I watched your video. 😅
My kid got it for xmas. He loves it. We took it to a house sitting gig too and it assembled nicely on the full size futon we slept on as well. The heat that gets trapped inside ourcdream tent is greatly appreciated in our v drafty NYC apartment.
I rember my aunt getting one of these for my b-day or Christmas and I wanted to put it up but my parents didn’t know who or were too tired …then we totally forgot about this and I just found it and I decided to put it up and it looks amazing I could tell my younger self would’ve love this item…shame that I didn’t find it earlier , but I also have the same Space Dream Tent! And this video did help!
Thanks for the review. My grandson doesn't like to sleep in his own bed. This might give his own bed just the right appeal so he will want to sleep there. Fingers crossed.
Got a version for out kid. Exept ours comes with built in star lights so it looks like the skys lit up. Got it length ways as it keeps leaning to one side
My grandsons LOVED it. They don’t care about the light or glowing...but a place to used their iPads and have privacy from younger brothers, they all share a room and it’s great. They were making things from blankets ...it’s does the tricks and didn’t break the bank, if you must have the light. Dollar tree led clip on light. The guy is right kids love tents, wha t looks cheap to adults thrill kids.
Thank you so much for your review dude. I'm really glad I didn't buy this for my kids. Seriously, no lights?? what the hell, what a rip off I don't want to pay 5$ to get em shipped
I have two questions. 1. Does the reading light hang from the top? I want to put a mobile in place of the light if it hangs. 2. Is there a rainforest/jungle themed one? I would like it to match the vtech lights and lullabies travel mobile I'm planning to get soon.
So when the DreamTent is put in place, it forms an arch that goes across the entire width of the bed, but it appears to cover between one-third to one-half the length of the bed. I'm inclined to think that a kid wouldn't be able to get fully immersed in the DreamTent experience if they can't fit fully inside the DreamTent.
I want to know why they don't have a cover for the back of the tent, if it can close up in the front why not the back, and the it where it can tuck under the head of the mattress and the side if the mattress so it can stay in place.
In the 80s/90s, they had a full size tent that zipped up that you could put on your bed...they should bring those back! I think they were called Hide 'n Sleep...I had a My Little Ponies one.
Jenny VanderPas there is a product called pop up beds or something like that, they fit the entire bed, and come in different sizes. These are designed with dorms or Roommates in mind. They sell them on Amazon, but get ready for $129.95 price tag 😱
My husband just purchased one for Mark son at Walmart he says it glows in the dark but I've sent him the link to the review and told him it doesn't but he still doesn't believe me LOL but I think what we're going to end up doing or I'm going to end up doing is going to the local dollar store and getting a couple of those clip-on book lights and some glow in the dark stickers and hit up a thrift store for a small lamp, and check out Dollar General for some Fiber Optic lights I find there now and then. Since they say the curtains are pretty long and get caught in the covers I'll probably have felt of those by selling them and since my son likes it to be dark in a tent I'll probably add it back cover to it with some old bed sheet material or something. Also I'm thinking instead of a small lamp I might move his multi color changing LED night light right next to the bed. Could probably be pretty cool for the visual effects of the space scene. I've gone to the website and looked at the book lights and they are very similar to the ones at the dollar store the new ones at the dollar store break kind of often and kind of easily it's still cheaper to buy 5 of them from there then too get it off the website and pay shipping and handling. Also I'm not sure exactly where I'll place the fiber optic lights... They're very small and lightweight they actually are supposed to fit on your fingers they're pretty cool I'm thinking I could sew them onto the back cover that I'm going to put on.
On the commercial and package they show them higher/angled and appear to have... black elastic holding the ends to pop it up or attach to the headboard to add height. That isn't an actual option? A full size mattress is 15 inches wider, could it be made to work? My son really wants one but he doesn't have a twin bed.
Hi Bethany. I'm not sure what you mean by black elastic. Can you elaborate, or tell me where in the commercial that appears? Regarding the full size mattress, I tried it out and added a picture to my written review for you. I don't think it really works, but maybe you'll think differently. You can find that picture here: bit.ly/2ttrFQS
Bought this for my son; it was a fail. The biggest problem for actual kids using it (5yr old) is that it doesn't hook into place very well. If they touch it or shift around too much in the bed it pops off the U holders. One hot night even a ceiling fan on high blew it forward too much and caused it to pop off.
I really didn't understand what you say I understand that you said that you need to have a black light to blow the tent that's what you say I thought it supposed to be gone in the dark after you turn out the lights can you answer my questions please
Hey I have a question I have ordered the space dream tent for my bed would I still be able to fit my cushions and stuff that is around my pillow in it. In other words I’m saying does this thing stretch so I can fit my pretty high plushies and cushions in it which take up the entire length of my bed. If you reply and you need to know the measurements I will do that same with width as long as u get back to me plz someone reply cuz this took me the entire video to type this. I still was watching the video and I am fine with the issues.
Freakin' Reviews oh okay thanks I guess I have enough space for them!! I watched a few more of your videos and they are awesome they have helped me with other things and it’s cool how you reply too and you explain everything in your videos clearly, you just earned a new subscriber!! *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)
because I keep saying some of these tents look nice and the dark and some of these look with no light and it's supposed 2p beef loin on the dark not by no backlight to help her load better it supposed to be glowing no matter how and if you cannot do that then just stop selling it to people
K thx my dad and I were struggling to put it on for an hour he gave up for a minute and said search how to put it on yt so I did thx +1 sub not might be a lot but it helps right?!
I really need to go to the As Seen On TV store! I have never seen Dream Tents! I think my son would think it was cool for about a week. Lol Thanks for another great review! ~ Cathy

I'm sure the makers never imagined it being used by someone in your demographic! Great comment!
Ty for ur comment. Info I was looking or.

Haha, no offense to Frickin' Reviews, but I like your review better. 😜...although both are good.
Thank you for sharing.

my son loves it. ours came containing reading light (may be due to differing country). its fun, stores easily and simple assembly. like it a lot.
i would have LOVED this as a kid, 100%
rachellesd me too!

Exactly why I'm here
They need to make this in a Full size bed option!!
Fr
I believe they do!
My kid got it for xmas. He loves it. We took it to a house sitting gig too and it assembled nicely on the full size futon we slept on as well. The heat that gets trapped inside ourcdream tent is greatly appreciated in our v drafty NYC apartment.

They now have full and queen size for 30 dollars
Just got my niece one for Christmas on groupon for 15 shipped.. A unicorn and she's 7 i think she will love it!
Walmart is carrying them. Thanks for the review it actually changed my mind from buying one!
bryan morlock yea I saw one at Walmart I'm thinking of getting the undersea world
Thanks for the review. My grandson doesn't like to sleep in his own bed. This might give his own bed just the right appeal so he will want to sleep there. Fingers crossed.
I think this thing would go well with a black light. You said it gets hot inside maybe use it in winter.
coondogtheman1234 we are in winter now, its really good.
First time seeing that. Might be good during the Winter months, since it's stuffy in there. Thanks for the review😃
☺
Thanks for this....I was wondering if it is illuminated in any way....You helped me a lot not wasting my money on this ....
Got a version for out kid. Exept ours comes with built in star lights so it looks like the skys lit up.
Got it length ways as it keeps leaning to one side
Thank you for the review. Thinking about get this Dream Tent for my kids for Christmas!! Now, I change my mind. I'm great I watched this video.

I'm in one right now I got it from dollarama it's very cunfy on a bunk bed I love it I decorated of too :-D
Just got one and couldn't figure out how to install it. Thank you!
Gonna try to get this up tonight for my daughter.
I got one at BJ's Wholesale and it came with the reading light. It switches to three different colors I believe.
Thank you so much for your review dude. I'm really glad I didn't buy this for my kids. Seriously, no lights?? what the hell, what a rip off I don't want to pay 5$ to get em shipped

Good point. It's only a couple of feet wide with a curtain, not a full bed tent.
well , im 5 foot 3 and my body fits inside if i sit in it . Its pretty cool though
with curtains closed you certainly can.
with curtains closed you certainly can.
I want to know why they don't have a cover for the back of the tent, if it can close up in the front why not the back, and the it where it can tuck under the head of the mattress and the side if the mattress so it can stay in place.

What about the glowing stickers that came in the package that I ordered? Can I put it on the tent or it's a wall decor?
I didn't get any glowing stickers. That must be only for online orders.

Can you please tell me how tall the dream tent is at the highest point when it is folded over the bed?
i got my dream tent for 9 dollars at toys r us and i love it even thought I am twelve

Really cute but how do you fold this damm tent to put back in case
They should make some for teens and adults too
I HAVE THAT SAME ONE OMG
I really didn't understand what you say I understand that you said that you need to have a black light to blow the tent that's what you say I thought it supposed to be gone in the dark after you turn out the lights can you answer my questions please
Nice Dreams! Thanks bra!
I I’ve mine I got one today I love it
YOU'RE A FAN OF FNAF I AM TOO!! 😆😄😃
I bought this for my autistic son and I am going to paint the stars with glow paint. I’m hoping it will give him a better space to sleep.

It would really depend on how high and wide those things are. And it doesn't take up the entire length of the bed, but only about half of it.
Freakin' Reviews oh okay thanks I guess I have enough space for them!! I watched a few more of your videos and they are awesome they have helped me with other things and it’s cool how you reply too and you explain everything in your videos clearly, you just earned a new subscriber!! *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)
You mentioned using this on a twin size bed. Can it not be used on a full size bed?
No, it's only for twin. Later I tried to put it on a full size bed and posted a photo of that here: bit.ly/2ttrFQS
Freakin' Reviews thanks so much! This was very helpful!
Chanelle Macon no🙁
I have the space one
I like sleeping in that place at bedtime
These are advertised on Junior TV and Bang Bang channels on Albania.
The price is very expensive.
I used to have one. Now I no longer know where it went.
My mom will buy me that nextweek
because I keep saying some of these tents look nice and the dark and some of these look with no light and it's supposed 2p beef loin on the dark not by no backlight to help her load better it supposed to be glowing no matter how and if you cannot do that then just stop selling it to people
Just bought one for my boys. They waited all day for dark so they could see it glow. It doesn't. Needless to say they are dissapointed . so am i
Toyrus sells it too
...so if I buy two they'll cover the entire twin bed and not just half?
Theoretically, although I can't say for sure.
You can get them at the dollar store
I got a dream tent for Christmas
Thank you I did it
thanks
I see that Freddy poster
i like using one so i can hide my inner depression
I have this and I am 7 I got it today
People expect a lot for a little fabric with a pattern. It’s on,y 15 bucks. Come on people it’s for kids!
