What sets us apart
A place to park your zipper
Custom zipper garages on each piece of the Nugget® make the product gentle on walls and on little hands! As an added bonus, we suggest keeping the zipper parked to prevent curious Nuggeteers from accessing the foam. 😉
An elevated design
Our zippers were custom-designed with aesthetics and comfort in mind — they’re sleek and rounded, with added texture for easy zipping and gripping.
Functional and stylish
Soft, woven handles on the base and cushion make building with and moving the Nugget® from room to room a breeze! The handles have been tested for long-term durability, and are designed to lay flat when not in use.
Plays well with friends.
Multiply the fun when you combine the Nugget with The World’s First Play Ottoman™. Shop the Nugget® + Chunk® together and save 10%* off your bundle!

- Carol H.Verified BuyerReviewingThe Nugget® - BambooI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 starsOctober 24, 2025A gift that keeps on giving for many years!
I purchased the Nugget for my grandson for his first Christmas when he was just starting to crawl and stand. There was a bundle with the chunk at the time. My first thought was that it was too expensive, but I justified it with his birthday following in March and I could save one for his birthday. This has been a wonderful gift for him and I can see him using it for many years to come. There is so much positive about these furniture/play pieces.
1) The quality is great and really holds up to little ones (and big ones) crawling all over them, stacking and moving them around.
2) They look nice. You can coordinate the colors with your room colors and set them up as furniture when the are not being played with
3) Awesome for creativity. My grandson is only 19 months old, but he has already learned how to move the pieces around to serve accomplish a goal or just have fun. With his dad's help, he has learned how to use them to climb and slide, rolls the rounds pieces down a long hallway, build a house and just lay them out to climb.
4) Great for motor skills. I love the videos my daughter-in-law sends me of my grandson climbing on and over the different pieces and learning move them into different configurations.
5) Allows others to join in the fun. My grandson will entertain himself plenty with these, but just loves it when mom, dad or grammy joins in on the fun and shows him even more things he can do with them.
6) and my absolute favorite is the joy they bring to him. It is…

So far we love our nugget! It’s the perfect size for my little one. I see him always gravitating towards it and loves to change configurations and make it however he wants for the day. I love the corduroy material we chose. So soft and beautiful!

We purchased this as a 1year old present for our little one. She’s too small to use it for fort building or anything beyond a crash pad, but we’ve loved having it as a soft landing spot around the couch. It’s held up great in the last several months and looks as good as new - our dog has claimed it as an occasional bed for herself. Heck, I’ve even used it as a temporary cot in our daughter’s room when she’s sick!

We adore our nugget so much so that we bought this second one - the color pink is gorgeous & light & it is so fun to have two nuggets to build extra cool things! Love the quality of these & highly recommend!!
- Nanxi Q.Verified BuyerReviewingThe Nugget® - BambooI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 starsOctober 24, 2025A Fantastic Investment for Play, Lounging, and Everything In-Between When we decided to invest in the Nugget Play Couch, I wasn’t sure whether it would end up being “just another kids’ item,” or a piece of furniture that truly got daily use. After having it in our home for [insert time you’ve had it], I can say with confidence it belongs in the latter category.
What we love:
It’s incredibly versatile: The couch arrives as four foam pieces (base, cushion, and two triangular pillows) that the kids can rearrange into all kinds of configurations — forts, ramps, lounge spots, and more.
Style meets play: One of our concerns was how “kid-ish” it might look in the living room. But Nugget offers a wide range of colors and fabrics so it blends into a modern home rather than screaming “toy.”
Durable and well made: The foam is firm yet comfortable, the covers are removable and machine washable, and it’s built to handle real play (jumping, crawling, fort building).
Multi-age appeal: Even though it’s marketed for kids, our older child and even we adults enjoy lounging on it. One review noted it “held up to my expectations for quality” and that the kids used it for multiple years.
A few things to consider:
Footprint: It does take up a fair amount of space when in “couch mode” and also when spread out for play. If you’re in a small room, measure ahead.
Back support: Some parents mention that if used just as a couch for adults, the triangular pillows don’t always provide full back support like a traditional sofa would.
If you’re looking for a piece of furniture that also functions as a toy and will remain relevant as your kids grow, the Nugget Play Couch is a smart pick. It brings creativity to their play, comfort to your family lounging, and won’t ruin your interior aesthetic. We’re glad we made the purchase—and I’d absolutely…

A Total Game-Changer! This couch is used everyday. It has drastically improved the quality of our life. 10/10 would recommend!

The Nugget is by far the best investment for indoor play. It's functional, well made and allows the kids to tumble and climb around indoors to use their imaginations and energy safely!
— Mary H.
We could throw out every toy we own and I’m pretty sure my kids would still be happy because all they want to do is play with their 2 Nugget couches and use their imaginations! You won’t regret buying!!!
— Lauren M.
I’m so happy we didn’t go with an off brand. We’ve been so happy with the quality and versatility. It looks great in our living room as a normal and practical piece of furniture with the chair setup. But then transforms to so many play options for the littles.
— Chelsey J.
We bought our grandson his first Nugget when he was almost three. Now that he just celebrated his 7th birthday, we decided that he and his 3 year old sister were ready for an additional Nugget. It has given them so much more area for creative play and the ability to build bigger tents and forts. The Nuggets provide limitless possibilities for their imaginations.

Just purchased my second Nugget. These are amazing. There are so many companies out there, buy the original, the one that can back their warranty.
