As much as we love this couch for the kids, the zippers are bad and broke. Our zipper on both of the big pieces broke within a year. And I don’t even know how to fix them because they just keep splitting!! It’s very annoying and I don’t think we should have to replace the covers once a year, the replacements seem too expensive!

We have the name brand version and this one. I prefer the explorer sofa! It holds builds better and is easier for washing/drying. The foam is SLIGHTLY more squishy but we've been building with the explorer sofa for almost 2 months with absolutely no complaints!

We bought one for our three kids about a month ago (ages 10, 4, & 2) and they have played with it every day since. We have purchased two more that we have stashed for an upcoming birthday and Christmas. The foam is very sturdy and the pieces are heavy, but not too heavy. My 2 year old cannot move the pieces on her own, but my older kids can. The 10 year old likes to build things for the littles. These are much cheaper than the nugget! $50 cheaper right off the bat, plus another $50 when you factor in the shipping cost for the nugget!

Durable yet soft fabric.

I was planning on getting a nugget for my 1yo and 8yo this year, but when I saw this for a way better price I knew I had to jump on it. We got the pink one and it is absolute love. Every child deserves one of these things to explore on! We are going to get another for our niece and nephews.

Kids Love!

Wonderful purchase

I have 4 boys and they absolutely love this. They made forts with it, jumped all over it. We used it as a guest mattress on the floor for my teenaged nephew. Very versatile and so easy to move. I washed the covers once and they covers went back on and zipped easily. Washed it a second time and the zippers zipped, but opened again and now they are broken. Love the product, but the zippers are horrible. We've only had the cushions 4 months.

My son is 7 and plays hard on these things. I purchased two Explorer sofas for him for Christmas. He plays with them almost daily and the quality has exceeded my expectations. We have had zero issues with the zipper as some others have noted. I've washed the covers and they've dried nicely. I also love that the covers are double brushed and lint/hair doesn't stick to them as they sit on a wool rug that sheds. I would take some of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. There are a lot of Nugget cult followers that will rate these things low simply because they are not nuggets. We have one nugget and two explorer sofas and I'm telling you, the difference is not distinguishable. I may even prefer the Explorer sofa to the Nugget simply because they are slightly larger.

I bought this back in December and it lasted a month before I decided to wash the covers while following the instructions, I hung to dry. After putting covers back on, the zipper stopped working and created a gap which wouldn’t close. Contacted customer service and I got a replacement sent my way. Haven’t even washed the covers and the zipper already stopped working, customer service said they would help but it has been a week since they have responded. Really disappointing.
