Fabulous for little ones

We bought the crash pad for our young foster children with additional needs who absolutely love playing with the pad and lying in it when they’re relaxing or needs some quiet time. We also have the couch which I recommended to so many people. All possum play products are high-quality and very durable.

Great service

Though Possum were fantastic. We did have a small issue, but they were both responsive and helpful to resolve the matter. Have recommended to many friends and will keep doing so

Wash incredibly well, love the change of colour

These covers are incredible quality. Super easy to change and wash, and they come up like new every time I pop them through the wash. Love having a spare set in a different colour to change the look of the room

Awesome

My 8 month old absolutely loves climbing all over his play couch and wedges. It's so much fun to make him a little obstacle course. I'd fill the whole house with these if I could!

Love our play sofa

Friends have been amazed! Is it a sofa? Is it soft play? Is it a toy? It’s been all three and our kids (3&8) have been loving exploring what it can be. Every day is something new and a great alternative to screen time which we are trying to cut down! Highly recommend

Worth every cent!

Purchased for our 9 month old, and its been fantastic. Has helped develop his mobility, provides a safe landing as he navigates the big lounge and is a very comfortable bed for adults - it's currently being used each night as an adult mattress as we transition our now 11mo into his floor bed (the 2x thick layers are the exact same height as the king single Ecosa!)

Is it a couch?

Absolutely love the possum play couch, but I'm not sure it's a couch. We love using it as an obstacle course, climbing ramp, crash mat... etc. So maybe not so much of a place you can sit and rest, but lots of fun.

Robust crash pad

This crash pad is way better than expected. Seriously robust and well made with beautiful fabric. I think this will last for years.

Trustworthy & endless play

I did a lot of research comparing different brands and I'm very pleased we chose Possum. No off gassing horrible smell of foam, solid construction and easy to wash. The kids (1&4) absolutely love it. Still haven't explored all the many different ways to make things with it, so lots more variation to explore. Also it is exceptionally comfy to nap on as an adult!! Can be used as floor bed. Comfier than our IKEA guest bed!

Best Quality, so versatile

I am a grandmother living in a small unit and I have bought this playcouch for the little people. I made this choice because its smaller than a BED. This fits perfectly in my spare room that also houses a toy shelf AND my own stuff, ironing board, washing baskets etc. The play couch means that I have a tidy looking couch in this room, and it is so portable, can be used as a double or a single bed anywhere in the house, its great for sleepovers and cubbies and not taking up lots of space when the kids are not here. I think its the perfect solution for grandparents and will grow with my growing family. I adore it.

Great bean bag

The children love leaping off the settee onto the bean bag. It’s well made and looks like it will take a lot of “punishment”

Great

My 18 month old daughter loves it, it allows her to climb up onto the sofa and down again. It's not too soft so you don't sink into it too much. I also lay down on it when it's been one of those days. We're happy with our purchase
