I purchased so my grandchildren could have something to sleep on when spending the night. I didn't realize they could also use it for building forts and climbing objects. I bought a 2nd set right away so they could building even more. The pieces are very sturdy and good quality.

I was a little scared to get it because of all the complaints about the zippers but mine seem to be fine my son sometimes messes with them & so far they’ve stayed in tact as for the couch itself my 2 y/o loves it & uses it every single day! I can see why it was always sold out! I think you definitely need at least 2 though as your a bit limited to what can be done w. 1. Other than that no complaints here. It’s a great purchase & definitely gets a kids imagination flowing.

This is pretty nice, it supports me pretty well. At first, I thought it might sink in, but I can actually sit and put my weight on it without feeling like I'm going to wear it out. Of course I dont use it, but it's nice to know I got my money's worth.

I love the quality, size, and it’s versatility! This was a Christmas gift for my boys (2 under 2). My oldest loves to climb on everything! I’m looking forward to using it in everyday play, sleepovers, forts,etc. the only drawback is the evolvement of the triangular pillows and the color of the sea foam option looking more “heathered” in texture in person. My advice would be to pull the covers off to allow the mats- mainly the triangular pillows to form- hopefully that works better. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.

Great play couch for our little one currently crawling and pulling up to stand. It’s been a nice cushy surface for stumbles and falls. Look forward to them growing up with it and eventually building forts and snuggling up to read when set up as a couch.

One of the best purchases I’ve made for my 1 year old! He loves climbing, so it’s perfect for him. Added bonus, we lay them out as mats when we’re on the floor playing with him so we have something comfy to be on. We use it every day! Plus it’s easiest to unzip the covers and toss them in the wash when they get dirty.

We bought (2) sets of the Explorer Sofas for grandchildren play and sleeping (for those out of cribs) and they have worked out great! Grandson’s (ages 3, 4, and 4) love to creatively build slides, towers and obstacle courses as well as running, jumping and tumbling on them. After a day of hard play, they become the perfect toddler mattresses for sleep overs at night (no worry about falling out of a normal height bed). Granddaughters (ages 16 and 18 months) also like the challenge of stepping, walking and playing on the soft surfaces. We considered buying the “Nugget” brand (that’s what they all have at their homes) but due to the cost difference when purchasing (2) sets and knowing they wouldn’t get everyday play at grandparents house, we decided on Member’s Mark. In comparison to the “Nugget” brand, the thicker 6” pads may be slightly less firm but still very substantial (and possibly better for sleeping) and the covers feel a little more supple. Grandkids have never mentioned any difference to the “Nuggets” they have at home. We bought in colors Ocean and Denim and both are subdued colors that fit in with decor and don’t show dirt. Shipping was quick but the two sofas did arrive 3-4 days apart and one appeared to have been packaged longer and took a day or two longer to fully fill out the cover (especially the wedges). We would highly recommend Member’s Mark Explorer sofa based on our experience and the amount of fun our grandkids have had on them.

Nice product but needs some improvements. Zipper on triangle pillow split open after only 15 minutes of play. However, we were able to get it back together and zipped. I am not sure how long the zippers will last. Maybe velcro on pillows would be better.

Made this purchase for Christmas, the kids love it! Have built multiple forts already!! Seems that it will hold up well. Love that you can take the covers off and wash them. Also glad we took it out of the box a couple weeks in advance, after reading reviews, to let it fluff up. Think we will have many years of fun out of this purchase.

Such a fun piece and have no regrets buying it. My daughter is currently doing occupational therapy and beyond this being fun it has helped so much with her therapy exercises too. The couch itself seems to be good quality and expanded well from the box - no indents or pieces that didn't fluff out all the way. The blue color is beautiful although I did think that the color was going to be brighter.
