Room sharing is becoming more and more common in Japan. However, the home of room-sharing is in urban areas in the United States. In San Francisco, where rents are particularly high, two beds are often crammed into a one-bedroom apartment, with two strangers living in the same room. There is no privacy.

The Privacy Pop Bed Tent gives people living in such environments a little privacy. It is an indoor tent that turns your bed into a secret base.


To set up the Privacy Pop Bed Tent To set up the Privacy Pop Bed Tent, remove the mattress from the bed. After the tent is attached to the bed, the mattress is placed inside the tent.
