Has to fit two people sitting up. No exceptions. Engineer for that.

How to do it

Pull every blanket and pillow you own. Grab cardboard boxes from the recycling. Set the constraint up front: two people sitting up inside, comfortably. Build together. When done, sit in it. Eat snacks in it. Read in it. Take a photo from inside looking out.
