I am extremely happy with the quality of this product and how much use the kids have gotten out of it already (it’s used daily).

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

Fabulous fun, great for expending energy

Fabulous - great for expending energy especially on rainy days! We build fortresses and assault courses for our 16 month old (he's been using this since about 12 months). The circles are great pretend wheels but also perfect sitting cushions for the little one. Mum and dad also enjoy lying on the cushions in the playpen!!!

Wedges have been used as slides, travelator and a great therapy couch for mum and dad!

Sofa for my girls

Best thing I’ve ever bought. We have had sleepovers on it, built many many shops/castles/houses/farms/etc the imagination is endless. It’s actually really comfy for mummy to use as a reading chaise and the kids to play or even nap on! Highly recommended! Worth the £ too.

Immediate Fun

Unpacked it and the kids have played with it every day since. I think I could replace half the toys in their room just with the couch. Great product!

Brilliant bit of kit

I purchased a possum play couch and the arm rests and it’s fantastic. My 1 year old loves climbing my all over it and the base makes a lovely sleep mat for his downstairs naps.
I am also a childminder and the older children I care for absolutely love building different structures out of the couch. They use it as a trampoline sometimes and it holds up really well. There are no signs of wear and tear yet and it’s not been used lightly! Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
*we have also used this for adults to sleep on and they all reported that it was very comfortable

Best 'toy' we own

Honestly the whole possum play couch is the most used and best thing we bought for our children's playroom. They love it, and whenever friends come to stay their children love it too. It's comfy as a sofa too. Wedge set was a great addition to their play.

Excellent Purchase

I missed the Christmas delivery deadline by a number of days but somehow it was still delivered in time for the big day. I was seriously impressed by this and really appreciated it. The couch itself lives up to all the reviews and research Id done. My two children use it differently but with equal enthusiasm. We use it as another armchair or footrest ourselves. The cushions are firm and excellent quality, I foresee many years of use and fun with this product.

Just amazing

This is one of the (if not THE) best thing we have ever bought for my daughter! She uses it every day. The possibilities for play are endless & we love pulling it out for movie night too!! The wedge cushions were a fantastic addition and she loves practicing her climbing and balancing. She no longer asks for screen time which is amazing too! Love it!!

Perfect high quality

Very impressed with the quality, no sagging or wrinkling they look great! Our 5yo & 2yo have had so much fun jumping, rolling, climbing these. And a nice place for me to rest in the playroom also.
