Almost right after I purchased the couch the cover on the largest piece stopped being able to be zipped. I have contacted customer support a few times to get a replacement and still have not received one. I guess I should have just splurged on another nugget. We haven't had any issues with the nugget. We have a nugget as well and the zipper has no issues. If I have to buy a replacement cover it's not really a deal in comparison. I guess I should have read the reviews as this seems to be a common issue.

Now, I don’t have a nugget to compare but the quality is great! My 4.5 year and almost 1 year old are both enjoying it. My oldest has used it as a cozy quiet spot, a house, and climbing area. The one year old loves to move and this soft surface is helpful. I am pleased with the purchase and glad I ordered two and tucked one away for Christmas.

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 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!

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.

Quality is great! Very aesthetically pleasing and multifunctional addition to my kids playroom! Just unboxed yesterday and I’m impressed so far! Only con I’ve noticed is I with there was the “pocket” to hide the zipper ( my curious 1 year old has already found it and wants to unzip) but I’m sure I can figure up something.

My kids loved this couch for the month they got to play with it. Then, the zipper broke. Getting a replacement is impossible so I just decided to make my own Velcro closure until I can buy enough fabric to make a new cover with a better zipper. I shouldn’t have to given the price of this set of foam blocks, but it is what it is. Super disappointed.

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.

We bought one last August for our youngest child. (5). I’ve since bought 4 more! All my kids love them. Ages; 12, 10, 8, 5. They use them every day. They move them, stack them, jump on them and sleep on them! The covers are VERY VERY stain resistant, it may make a stain but it does not seep through to the foam. You just throw the covers in the wash. They are easy to get back on. They are worth every penny!

I was hesitant in the beginning because I had read some bad reviews about the zipper being kind of flimsy but so far I’m very impressed with the quality of this couch! It’s perfect in my toddlers room. He loves it and we do as we get to all sit and read to him before bed! I’m considering buying another one for our living room.
