Love how big they are and they're great for supporting 2 story builds. My kids like to use it as a balance beam. My only downside is that when pushed together for a balance beam, the foam is still slightly rounded so its not touching all the way. I havent reached out to anyone to ask if its normal or not though but plan to at some point.
We love everything we have though and will continue to purchase due to high quality, excellnt customer service, and great pricing (plus being a canadian family business)
We’ve had a great time with the creativity set. Our son is still young but he’ll be able to move the pieces himself in no time. My husband and I have a great time building with them too!
The foam couch unboxing was super easy, and the foam expanded fully. It is dense enough for us to sit on while we play with our one-year old. He loves climbing on it, or hiding in his fort. We're looking forward to adding more pieces as he gets older!
In my opinion this is the most versatile accessory you can get. It has been a game changer to add another base to the fort set 2yrs ago. If you are going to add a base, why not add one with a slippery side?! We love builds that can be climbed on and now we can make a slide at any angle, at half or full length.
After the fort set, this is my recommended add on. It will give you so much versatility in your builds making it a great value for the price.
Like all epic kidz pieces it washes really well.
The thickness and density of these is like nothing else. I can stand on them and the foam barely compresses. As a rocker they haven't worked for us though. I got these when my son was 2. He's now 3.5 and he still can't get his legs wide enough to wrap around to rock on them.
They make fantastic stairs. Together they are the same dimensions as the folded thick base so i use it to raise the height of the couch/ chair or add an ottoman. They can also be stacked as a corner pillar. I use it to stretch my old back like a yoga wheel. Lol That's it though... not a lot of use for the price and space they take up.
As with all the epic kidz pieces, they wash great and the liner will save your foam from a spill. Great quality, just not the most helpful accessory.
This is a great set for young kids who want to be part of the building process because the pieces are much lighter than the fort set. It's nice to have the thin base and large rectangles for builds. I also quite like the little arches and semi circles.
The issue for me is the rectangular prisim is a weird length and it's very unstable, which gives it limited use. It would be better if it was the full depth of the couch and it's other dimensions need to be considered. Every time my kids stand on this block without it being butted up against other blocks, they nearly fall. It makes me extra nervous during playdates, that someone will get hurt. It could make a fantastic pillar or obstacle if it was redesigned.
I'm also not a big fan of the trapezoidal prisim... it makes for an uncomfortable couch for adults and because of it's short length it's more tricky to use in builds. It's just not very versatile.
How thin it is makes it unstable. My 1yr old knocks every build down by simply grazing it. My 3yr old does a bit better.
Overall I would describe this couch as being more like foam blocks that a young child can build with. It won't give you very stable builds (like the fort set does) but with the build book it will give you so many pretend builds for a preschool or young child. It's a decent addition to the fort set but in hindsight I probably would have preferred a few of the accessories over this couch because we like stable builds to climb on, so this one wasn't a great fit for our style.
I purchased this fort set for my oldest son's first birthday 2.5yrs ago and it's one of my most used purchased.The quality of the foam is nothing like I've seen from other play couches. It's so thick and firm making it perfect for stable builds. It makes for a comfortable couch for regular seating as well.
We've had a few incidents that have required washing and they wash beautifully. We've had incidents with blood, highlighter, coffee and a few pee accidents. The covers came off and on easily. The liners protected the foam. The covers looked good as new.
I found my builds limited with only this set, but saw the potential, so we've added pieces every Christmas and I'm addicted. I've joked that building things might be my love language now. I highly recommend this set. It's very versatile.
I asked everyone I knew who had a play couch of any sort, and consulted google / Gemini for the ideal choice for my kid’s needs. He was turning 8 and I was kicking myself for waiting until he was really too big for most of the play couches. But… I was also so sick of my furniture and couch cushions getting used for forts every time I got things picked up. So we made the investment and it has turned out to be really wonderful. The communication, shipping, packing and actual product have been completely dreamy. Looking forward to getting a few more pieces in a complementary color at Xmas time.
We love our play couch. It is firm, comes with washable covers, and I love the mustard yellow colour. Customer service is also top notch if you have any issues with your order. Highly recommend !
We love this play couch. This has helped our 9-month old further develop his movement in such a short period of time. Within a few days, he has quickly learned to climb over the obstacle pieces and is pulling up to stand! We know this couch will be a great source of fun for years to come.
My son absolutely loves these play couches, its rare for him to really enjoy things as he is very picky and has major sensory issues. But these couches he uses every day. He builds forts and jumps and lands on them watches his favorite cartoons on them. There a safe , and fun option for kiddos.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about this play couch! As a mom of four kids ranging from 2 to 9, I have been so impressed by both the quality and how much use it gets from every single one of them. The cushions are sturdy, the fabric is incredibly soft, and I love thoughtful details like the hidden zipper pockets. The removable, washable, and waterproof covers are also a huge win in a house full of kids!
Most importantly, I love how much imaginative play it inspires. Ours has been a castle, a reading nook, a food truck, and so much more. It has been in constant use since it arrived, and I know this is something my kids will enjoy for years to come. ❤️
It is a couch and a fort and a car and so many things! Strong and well made. Very happy we got this couch/fort. My kids (age 5/8) play with it daily so far.
I love that this playmat has a machine washable cover. Perfect for baby learning to crawl or as a base for other builds. Currently we have it underneath our Pikler triangle and rocker, as well as underneath our fort set with the wedges. I feel good knowing my toddler has some cushioning no matter where they are on the mat. I also like that it folds into 4 and fits perfectly under the play couch. Wish they had come out with them when my toddler was still a baby!
Purchased entire play couch with liners and covers- was exactly what we wanted for outside play this summer. Toddler and baby love it.
