We have the thin pads in a large playpen as extra padding. Our 15-month-old likes to lay on those. We also have one of the triangle pads in there and he likes to flip that around. We'll incorporate the additional pads as he gets older. I'm sure we're going to get our money's worth out of this set. It seems very durable as well.

Where were things like this when I was a kid?! This couch was a huge hit with all three of my kids, ages ranging from 8 months to 17 years old. I actually had to buy a second set to make bigger and better forts. Pros: - Literally hours of play. It encourages creativity as well as getting kids up and moving, away from electrics, which I dig. - It’s aesthetically pleasing. - Can be used to sleep on, it’s pretty firm but better than the floor. - My 8 month old uses it as a jungle gym. It’s actually helped motivate him to climb and explore. - An easy alternative to playing outside when the weather sucks. - All 3 of my kids will play together on this. Minimal fighting, I dig this also. - A great way to wear kids out for nap time. Cons: - It took a while to ship. - I haven’t had to wash this yet so I’m not familiar with the zipper issue people are having but the zipper does seem cheap so I’m anticipating it breaking. - Stains easily. I’m too afraid to take the covers off after reading other reviews. For now I’m spot cleaning it. - Difficult to store.

With so many of these popping up everywhere I wasn’t willing to spend $400+ I saw many negative comments on other play couch pages about these particular ones. I was hesitant to buy but it was in stock my first visit ever at Sam’s club. So I bought it. We are extremely pleased with this play couch Packaging was perfect. Began to expand right away my kids didn’t even care it wasn’t fully expanded and within a few hours it looked perfect. We got the light gray color and I love it. It kinda looks like a tweed material but isn’t it’s actually really soft. We loved it so much we recommend to a friend and she went and bought the flamingo color the next morning. It’s also a very unique pretty color. Definitely buy if you’re really wanting a play couch. My 1yo and 5yo play on it non stop. we also have other blocks that add building fun as well.

My brother in law designed his own “nugget” couch and my daughter loves it. I thought I’d buy this since she loves that so much. She spends hours climbing, jumping, sliding, Etc on this couch. I didn’t experience the issue with it puffing up to full size or the zipper issues. This is $200! It’s worth the cash just to let them have somewhere to sit. Those personalized chairs from that one big store cost $100, spend an extra hundred and let them have it for longer!

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.

This was a great product until we went to take the cover off to wash. As we were unzipping it was giving us a hard time we just assumed it was because the foam had expanded and was to taught on the zipper however as I was zipping it up to put in the washer it refused to go back together. After 30 min of working on it, I finally got it closed. Washed it and again after opening it to air dry it was giving us issues we tried to get it back on and got most of it closed after working one side at a time taking up to 45 min per side. We are in the middle of trying to get one side back together, but I would not ever recommend this product to anyone unless they updated the covering. For how much was spent on this product for it to be this faulty is absolutely ridiculous. I'm half tempted to buy the replacement, I'm unsure if it would be worth it or just a waste of more money. I am absolutely disappointed in this product, especially since Sams Club always has quality products or dupes. I am very sad that this has been the outcome.

We picked up a sidewalk color sofa in the store for Christmas after waiting a full year for one to be available after they advertised it in an ad. It took several days to expand but it fully expanded correctly when it was done. The fabric is very nice and the sofa is usable as expected. It’s firm yet soft enough that a 140lb adult can comfortably sleep on the thicker cushion without pain when waking as well as kids. You can fit a twin size sheet over the cushions with a little extra room in the sheet leftover. It’s been great doubling as a spare sleeping mat for sleepovers/naps. When I ordered a second one off line, the wrong color came. It came in a brown box rather than the original box like I had gotten in the store. I had to call member services and give them a serial number to even verify that it was the wrong color. Nowhere was any information on the color of the item since the orginal box was not included. If it was a gift I would have been very disappointed. They wouldn’t even know what it was. If I had opened the plastic wrap any more than I had, it would not have fit back in the box for a return. I’m currently waiting for a call for instructions on returning the item. We are disappointed we have to wait even longer for the correct item and do extra work just to get the correct one.

My husband was able to snag two and my two boys love this. We do a new build every night after our boys go to bed. So they have a new adventure to wake up. I definitely need one or two more for some of the bigger builds. Overall we love it and the price compared to other couch’s

I bought 2 of these for last Christmas and my kids have been loving them. Overall they work fine for what they are, but I do have a few complaints. -The flimsy zippers are crap and are constantly breaking on almost every piece I have for both sets. It's such a headache to wash because I have to spend so much time working the zippers back on and dealing with so many snags. - The foam isn't as good as the regular nugget and just doesn't feel as dense. Several corners have just ripped off somehow through the fabric. One of my triangle pieces never quite got it's shape and it still lumpy and squished even though we bought it so long ago. It handles the builds, but just not as well as a real nugget would. Overall I would say it works just fine for a children's play couch. My kids are able to build with them and climb all over it, but if you're wanting something that will last and hold up to the abuse of playtime I would just spend the extra money on the nugget.
