A portable and foldable light-blocking den configured to sit on a stable flat surface, wherein the den has a front, a back, a bottom and continuous top and sides, and wherein the den comprises:
- an arched rod frame that comprises a single flexible rod shaped to form (i) a front arch framing the front of the den and (ii) a back arch framing the back of the den, wherein (iii) the front arch and the back arch are connected through the rod that forms a U-shape curve framing each side of the den;
- wherein the single flexible rod is enclosed in a fabric channel, and the fabric channel connects body fabric, front drapes, and a padded base;
- wherein the body fabric is attached to the fabric channel of the arched rod frame and to the padded base to form the back and the continuous top and sides, thereby creating an interior space;
- wherein the front drapes comprise two pieces of fabric that are sewn to the fabric channel of the front arch;
- wherein the two pieces of fabric are overlapping where sewn to the top of the front arch;
- wherein the front drapes, when held closed and are overlapping, form a front wall that encloses the interior space;
- and
- wherein the front drapes, when held opened, form an opening in the front of the den that allows a user to enter into the interior space;
- wherein the interior space is sized and configured to cover a head and a portion of the upper torso of the user positioned inside the den allowing the rest of the body of the user to remain outside of the den;
- and
- wherein the padded base comprises batting, and is sewn to body fabric on the back and sides of the den to form the bottom of the den that is configured to sit on top of the stable flat surface.
