My 3 children received one of these as a gift for Christmas and have used and loved it so much I bought another one so they can all have mats to rest on and to be able to make giant forts. I also purchase one for my 2 nieces as a gift. My kids are 3,5,7 and my nieces are 1 and 2. The babies and toddlers can crawl and climb on it and the big kids can build and nap on it. I’ve also sent the mats for overnight beds at grandmas house and they work great. Can’t say enough good things about this product.

We purchased the Flamingo Explorer sofa on black Friday, and unfortunately, that color was on backorder. I contacted Sam's club customer service, and they quickly came up with a solution. Not only did they refund my purchase, but they refunded the difference from the sale price. I was able to order the yellow sofa, and it arrived in just a few days. My girls were excited on Christmas morning when they received their explore soda. They have played and built countless forts. My daughter accidentally spilled chocolate milk on one of the cushions, and I was afraid it would leak to the foam underneath. To my surprise, it did not. We stripped all foam blocks and washed per the tag recommendations. It looks brand new again and was easily put back together. Highly recommend, and we will be purchasing the Flamingo Explorer sofa in the future.

We purchased this for our 7 month old and he loves it! It has been great for his gross motor and he is now climbing up and down with ease (9 months old now). He loves to stand and hold himself up on the triangle pieces too! And at $50 cheaper than the nugget it's a big overall win!

Bought for my son, hes 2.5. I was a little skeptical thinking he may not know what to do with it yet but as soon as we unboxed it he was playing with it and has been ever since. We’ve had it for about a week and it’s still a hit. I was worried about the zipper after seeing all the negative reviews. The zipper on ours works as it should, there was a warranty paper in the box that says it covers broken zippers so that was a good piece of mind.

This couch a knock off nugget. You are better off spending the extra $50 dollars on a nugget couch. My daughter who is only 13 months (so obviously not at the age to be jumping and being rough yet) played on this for not even a whole day and the zippers broke. I honestly was questioning them when I took them out of the plastic wrap and opened them up to let the foam breath and expand the night before.

These are great and comparable BUT! they are inconsistent. We have 1 emerald and 1 ocean. Our ocean is uniformed and sturdy foam but our emerald is no where near as good. We are trying to return it due to the fact that it just can't hold builds. The triangles are made of softer foam in our emerald compared to our ocean, and they are not the same size making some builds impossible. If all Explorer Sofas were like our ocean (sturdy & uniformed) these would 100% be a go to. The kids love them and they create great indoor fun. My kids break a sweat on these fast and its like never ending cardio meaning easier sleep times. Our dogs hair does not stick to these like everything else and even dried wax was easy to clean. Hours upon hours of fun build an arena for nerf wars, forts, beds, lounges, obstacle courses, the possibilities are endless!

We originally bought the flamingo one to replace my daughters toddler bed, but all the kids love it! It did take a day or so to fully expand and there are still wrinkles in the triangle pillow covers but we don’t even care anymore it works great! So great in face, we ordered another one today!

We got the Explorer couch for our child’s first birthday. After using for 6 months, I can say we are very pleased. It has held up great and we’ve had no issues. The foam is sturdy for builds and is still comfortable for sitting on. We use it daily and our child loves to play on it. If we can’t find her, she’s almost always sitting on her couch. I would definitely recommend.

My kids love this Explorer Sofa. We saw it in our neighborhood Sam's Club, but they didn't have the color we wanted. We decided to just order it online. It came compressed. We unpacked and let the foam take its shape for an hour or two. Then the kids had their way. It completely filled in its shape after a day. Of course the kids managed to get a stain on it after 3 days. I just wiped with baking soda and peroxide. Clean as new! We had the explorer sofa for almost a month and it has held up so far. My kids build forts, use it as a slide, or just to lay down. They really enjoy it and now they don't get a gazillion blankets dirty trying to build forts. Overall it was a great purchase.

Buy it, you won’t regret it!! My 3 year old and 2 year old really enjoy their play couch. They have played on it everyday since we got it. The fabric is nice and has held up with rough toddlers playing on it. My only complaint is it doesn’t have a waterproof liner but we can always order some online.
