A classic childhood pastime for many is building a "blanket fort" or "pillow fort" out of pillows, couch cushions, blankets, and other bedding materials to make a sort of "clubhouse" or "secret hangout". Fort building can be enjoyed by teens and adults, as well. Many parenting books even suggest that parents build one with their children as a bonding tool. When an adult builds a fort in fiction, it usually illustrates the character is young at heart or Living Out a Childhood Dream. Compare Kids Prefer Boxes, Treehouse of Fun. |

BMO and Jake build one in the Adventure Time episode "Puhoy", which Finn crawls through and leads him to a world made of pillows. Then Finn gets lost in the pillow world, finds a pillow-woman, settles down with her to start a family, has pillow-children, grows old, and finally dies...only to wake up back in Ooo to realize it was All Just a Dream. | |

In the Redwall book Mossflower, a blanket fort is one of the clues: Look up and find the secret is yours, Your castle, your fort, Or so you thought. The series of clues is a note from father to son about how to get to Salamandastron; this part is trying to tell him that the clue is on the underside of a table - when Boar was young, he played under the table, and with the tablecloth there, he always pretended it was a fort or castle. They realize what it means when Boar's daughter, Bella, reminisces about the table and how when she was young she used to pretend she was in a tent. | |

In Teen Titans Go!, the team decides to hold a slumber party to help Cyborg get over his fear of the dark. Robin suggests they build a blanket fort, and everyone agrees, until they remember it's Robin and his blueprints require two hours just to lay the foundation so he does it himself. It has several floors, guest bedrooms, a bowling alley, artwork, and who knows what else. | |

Community: Troy and Abed build an epic blanket fort in "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design", which takes up an entire hallway and is used by Greendale students like a miniature city. In "Pillows and Blankets", Troy and Abed disagree on whether pillows or blankets are the superior fort-building material and each build their own forts, with Abed creating the pillow fort Pillowtown and Troy building the blanket fort Blanketsburg. This disagreement escalates into all out war between the forts, which threatens to destroy Troy and Abed's friendship. "Digital Exploration Of Interior Design" has a subplot about the rivaling Blanket Fort and Pillow Fort of Troy and Abed. Troy and Abed also made a "second bedroom" out of blankets when Annie moved in. They initially gave the fort to Annie, but she got pissed when she discovered that there was an entire unused bedroom that she could have been sleeping in instead, which they were using as a "Dreamatorium." As a compromise, Troy and Abed moved into the blanket fort while Annie got the bedroom they had been using. |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, Ponder Stibbons and his Assassin wife Johanna are knucking down to raising a family. The one thing you can be sure about is that the three daughters of a Wizard and an Assassin will be individual and somewhat quirky. Youngest daughter Ruth is a talented musician. Johanna finds herself shaking her head, looking on the three-sided arrangement of banked keyboards in her living room note Ruth has been the victim of inspiration particles and is taking a cue from rock keyboards players like Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, who arranged their instruments in a three-sided square on stage. She gets this sort of leakage from the Roundworld in vivid dreams with full stereo sound.. Johanna reflects that other little girls under ten just build a blanket fort in the living room. Not a Keyboards Redoubt. | |

In A Hat in Time, Hat Kid herself has one in her bedroom that's explicitly called such in one of the achievements. Though it's technically not a "fort" per se, but is instead a massive pile of pillows haphazardly piled up along one wall that's big enough to swim in, and even includes a diving board on the upper platform, and a secret room of all things at the bottom, the latter of which is required to get the aforementioned achievement. | |
