I love to make these and sit in them (and eat, and play on my computer) do you? I'm sitting in one right now.:blush::blush:
 
I used to as a kid, together with my sister, we each built a ford and then attacked eachother, throwing stuffed animals and shooting elastics from pencils, haha.

However, I`m 33 now and I`m pretty sure building forts at this age gets you admitted to medicine.
(Even though I fully support adults still building forts.)
 
No but I still tie blankets around my neck like a cape when I'm cold does that count?

Whoever told you that is a liar you can still build forts as an adult

Blanket forts are lame. They're just a bad indoor tent.






Now cushion forts on the other hand are a different thing entirely.

Couch cushions are usually big and sturdy enough to build proper fortifying walls that will keep any household pets and small projectiles out of your fortress, as well as having that Lego-like quality that allows you to build whatever type of fort you desire. The thickness of the cushions also keeps out light better as well as prying eyes. If it's built well enough, it can even dampen the noise made within the fort allowing you to watch 'certain videos' without others knowing, or plan an attack on the rest of the house in private.
They also don't require anything but cushions to make which is an advantage since it lets you decide whether you want to make the fort totally self sufficient in the middle of a room, or use other things such as the couch or walls as part of your fort.

You also have the smaller, more flimsy cushions that are great for putting on the floor and making the inside more comfortable. You can also place them on the outside of the fort to make the fort walls even better fortified against attackers.





When the inevitable invasion of the formidable Gorlakians hits the population, good luck with your 'tent fort'. I'll be happy and safe within my cushion fort, whilst you're slaving away in the Gorlakian mineral mines.

Sadly, I`m the product of my parents, they both are big believers of the "adults are not supposed to have fun" movement. I don`t agree with them, but those morals are instilled to deeply within me.

I agree with you wholeheartedly though.

OK so you think Gorlakians (wtf are those) will invade. And we will hide in forts made out of stuff that we sleep on. You are nuts, and:
1. Couch cushions can fall on you if not built properly
2. Nobody has the money to buy all those cushions
3. And if you did have the money and bought those, your stupid.

And fyi I built mine hours ago and not A SINGLE PIECE OF IT has fallen out of place. You know why? Because I used chairs and heavy objects to hold it up. Couch Cushions are too heavy and can hurt a child if they fall on them. Chill dude, its a fort.

Of course you don't know what the Gorlakians are. They've kept themselves away from Earth so that the inhabitants are unable to learn of their methods. That's how they're going to get the upper hand when they strike.


Chairs and other heavy objects can also fall on you or injure a child if proper building expertise hasn't gone into the building of said fort, and there's nothing stopping you from using outside sources on a cushion fort either. Chairs and other heavy objects are actually more dangerous than a cushion, whilst they also lack the cushioning and insulation gained from a finely crafted cushion.


As for the sturdiness and protection of the cushion fort when the time for battle comes, it is recommended that you get a qualified fort builder to help you in the construction of your cushion fort. Properly constructed cushion forts aren't for children, they're an adults game. Children haven't received the right education and experience necessary for a truly safe fort and as a result, they will be the first to fall when the attack happens.

Some of the male children will be able to take refuge within my cushion fort when their attempt inevitably fails. The female children are out of luck though because as the sign on the front says, "noe gurlz alowd". 'Gurlz' is plural though, so one lucky 'gurl' is still able to take shelter in the 'guest quarters' of the fort.


People who don't own enough cushions are the ones who are stupid. They will regret that decision when the time comes. They called me crazy for owning so many cushions for the purpose of a stronghold but we'll see who's crazy when they're banging at the front entrance screaming "let me in! The Gorlakians are taking us and we didn't have the foresight to build our own safe haven because we're stupid!".




My cushion fortress has been standing since January 1st........1993. It is a true work of craftsmanship and one of few man made structures that will survive.
 
Chairs are not as heavy as couch cushions. And aliens? I think the reason they stay away from Earth is because they are too inteligent for us and we disgust them, or they don't know we exist. i'm going with the disgusted. And if by some tiny, microscopic, slim chance they do come, NOBODY IS GOING TO HIDE IN A PILLOW FORTRESS. Lets be real here. People who don't own enough cushions are stupid omfg gtfo serio--

Before I lose my patience I'm just going to assume your an annoying troll.
