If you’re looking at the reviews right now and debating whether or not to get one of these, I’m going to tell you now: you’ve got nothing to lose! Mine arrived today, The emerald color in person isn’t super vibrant, and I like it a lot better, looks closer to the color in the thumbnail than the actual photo. This arrived pretty fast and it inflated easily to use pretty fast to have my toddler play with it. I’ve seen the brand named version of this couch and I’ve been looking for an alternative for awhile, the name brand takes a lot longer to ship and lately the color selection hasn’t had the most selection likely due to supply shortage. It seems even the Sam’s club version sells out often too because of how popular they are! The cover material feels like a poly-linen weave and so far everything looks fantastic! I think for the free that had not given this a good review, the zippers may have just been defective and even if that does happen to mine later on, I believe it just means I’ll use it as a sleeping mat with a sheet or a reading corner instead of toddler play.

My husband wasn’t sold on the idea of this couch but within a week of having one, he decided we needed a second. We have made lots of cool forts, coloring tables, and use it consistently as a yoga mat. It has had so unexpected uses, too, like the perfect sized bed for a sick kid in my home office and sleepovers with friends. I have washed it once with no issues

I raved when we first got this couch. My daughter loved it. We had fun stacking and playing but the zipper does not hold up! It is very cheap zipped and broke within the first couple months of us having it. We never even took it off the couch to wash it just ripped open and wouldn't zip shut. Very disappointing but now I'm on the hunt for a replacement cover.

Kids love it! They have been playing non stop. Really cozy for adults to sit on and lay down also! Very good size too. Slightly larger than my child's toddler bed. No issues with zipper yet so I cannot compare it to the name brand, but for us, it has already gotten its moneys worth!

We got one as a gift for our kids from my SIL, ages 13,10, 2 & 3 months. We loved it so much that we bought a 2nd one barely a week later! We got Denim as a gift. ( great color for a beachy coastal look! ) & we purchased Emerald ( again, perfect for a coastal home ) only thing I can say that may be bad for some. Is the colors online and the box are not as vivid in person. But, for someone like me. That was a great thing! It looks so nice in our home in their playroom. Still fun colors but a bit muted so when put away looks nice and can see us having for years to come!

We have three of these. Originally had two with the old zipper, which we never had an issue with. The work and look great. Our most recent Explorer Sofa came in yellow with new zippers. Sounds like they heard a few people’s complaints and switched out for different zippers. I personally liked the original zippers better but I’m sure some people will be reassured knowing that the zippers have been switched out.

I got this back in the summer and my kids absolutely love it! They are always setting it up and wanting to sleep on it. My 8 year old even loves it! I compared this with another brand that’s double the price and this had great feedback and was preferred more over the other one. I am wanting to purchase another one soon! Highly recommend

Save your money and buy the mod blox. I had purchased this because it was cheaper than the mod blox brand. Just spend the extra bucks on the mod blox. Products does not fully expand. The triangles does not expand fully. On the smaller folding foam, the middle where it folds is completely flat. It has been airing out for 2 full days. There are corners and sides that’s just pinched flat and won’t expand. Waste of money. Get yourself the mod blox brand as they fully expand within a couple hours.

This couch is hands down better than the nugget. Very sturdy and i even like the covers better. Double brushed and hardly anything stays on them as opposed to the microfiber of the nuggets. I have a nugget that is double brushed and I still feel the explorer couch fabric is better. Great quality at a great price. If you're on the fence between this and the nugget this is your sign to get it. Your kids will thank you and you'll even find yourself lounging comfortably on it.

Honestly wanted to like this as much as the original nugget, but it just doesn’t compare. If you are going to use it just as a couch or maybe a bed that’s fine but it’s just not as sturdy as the nugget for builds. Also washed the cover one time and followed the directions and the zipper broke. Would not recommend if you can buy the original nugget I would instead!
