Safety & Use

The Playtime Playbook

  • The Nugget® is for ages 1+ years old for imagination, exploration, and adventure — not for sleeping!
  • There should never be heavy items on top of The Nugget when someone is inside or underneath.
  • Push it, move it, pull it from the living room to the playroom to the kids’ room — just keep play in open spaces, not on or around stairs, and use with caution on hard surfaces.

Adult supervision required. Please see our Safe and Proper Use Manual for more info.

Can't Decide? Try:

Think inside the box (only this once)

Two supportive pillows

They say there's two sides to every story, but if the story is about our pillows, it has three. Use them for the columns of a coliseum, the hull of a ship, or just a backrest when you need a break in between.

One soft cushion

The cushion may be the Nugget's thinnest piece, but without it, wall-climbers and cannonballers would be in for a rough landing. It's squishy and strong, so playroom superheroes can bounce back after big falls — just like the ones on TV.

One sturdy base

No one likes to be on the bottom of the pile. Well, except for the base, that is. Down there it gets to provide stable, reassuring structure to the pieces above.

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.

    Too expensive

    Too much money for some foam cushions with very limited building options. Realistically, you can build about 3 solid forts. If you want anything cool, you would need to buy 2 sets. The “triangle” shapes are practically useless. Why not “square” shaped? Absolutely just puzzles me.

    The best!!

    We are so happy with our bamboo color. Perfect for movie nights as well. Guests don't sit on our couch anymore, they sit on our Nugget. My daughter plays everyday with it and it is such a great and comfortable place for my 5months old tummy time. Costumer service is outstanding so yeah we highly recommend to get your Playcouch and become part of the Nugget family :)

    Perfect play

    At first I hesitated on getting it for both my kid (8 and 3) because I thought they would fight over it but they play so well together or each will take half and play on their own. I will be getting the chunk soon.

    The reviews are true!

    Ok, the reviews are true. I bought this for our daughter’s one-year-old birthday. She has some gross motor delays so I wasn’t sure how much she would be able to enjoy it. OMG. First, it has really motivated her because we can adjust it so it’s “doable” for her, which is turn has really encouraged her and given her more confidence and less fear. She now will not stop climbing all over this thing. Secondly it has really become a way for her and her dad to bond because he loves “building” her different “obstacle courses” for her with this set. They have so much fun playing with this thing. Me and my dog love lounging on it too LOL. Would get multiple if we had the room/$$ it’s so worth it! Maybe we will go for the round set next.

    We're over the moon to hear about your daughter's newfound confidence and the special bonding time with dad. (P.S. Your dog's seal of approval is the cherry on top! 🐶) Wishing you all many more years of Nuggety adventures ahead, Toni!

    Disappointed

    The cushions could be thicker and the triangles should be as long as the mats. I also would like more options for additional shaped cushions.

    We apologize for any disappointment, Lauren. If it's helpful to know, we share the complete dimensions of the Nugget here in our FAQS (https://nuggetcomfort.com/pages/product-info/#dimensions-and-weight).

    Please know we intentionally designed the Nugget so that the cushion is a bit thinner and more flexible for easy movement, while the base foam provides a stable foundation. We found that this combo provides the perfect mix of fun and function. If there's anything that our team can assist with, don't hesitate to send us a note at hq@nuggetcomfort.com.
