My kiddos are 8 & 6 and love using it to do builds or just lay down and read. I see a lot saying the zippers are bad but I think they may just be washing it them too often mine is still in great condition and we’ve had it for over a month now. Definitely will be buying another once “Medeorite” is in stock near me!!

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!

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.

Absolutely love this item. We have been looking at the original for a while but hesitated. Once this came out (and was back in stock) I didn’t second guess myself and purchased immediately. It might “only” be $50 cheaper but it IS still cheaper. My three kiddos are loving it so much I am trying to talk my husband into another one when they restock!

On the first wash the zippers broke. Contacted customer service and they sent me a replace which was awesome. I’ve put off washing our new set because I was nervous about the zippers giving me problems again. Low and behold these zippers are trash as well. Which leads me to believe that the first set wasn’t defective but that they’re just cheaply made. Which is unfortunate because my kiddos love them. But the fact that they’re supposed to be machine washable was a main selling point and really necessary when they’re drug around so much.

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.

Bought this for my active toddler (18 months), but his 3 older siblings (3, 6, & 8) love it just as much. Hands down the most played with Christmas gift by all the kids. My husband was initially concerned about the size, but after seeing all 4 kids play together on it for hours on end, he agrees it's more than worth the space it takes up.

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 this for Christmas for our 4 and 2 year old girls and they have been having a blast - we just couldn't justify spending nugget prices when these had such great reviews. It's the same thing with a much more affordable price tag! They are good and sturdy but not hard as a rock, they expanded really well too. Just waiting on another sale to get more! My only request is for more colors; instead of 3-4 different shades of green, there could've been so many other options, like purple, orange, red, and neutrals!
