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!!

Great buy for 3 year old

This is a quality toy and one which our 3 year old has loved from day 1. Tons of different ways to arrange the pieces and safe for our son to stay active and off any screens

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.

Grandchildren’s fun lounge

We purchased the lounge with extra arms for two of our younger grandchildren, they are enjoying reading time, being creative making shapes to play on & in. Being well used. This is our 2nd Possum Play lounge we have purchased for grandchildren. Keeps its shape, great for play, relaxing & friends play dates. We are extremely happy with our 2nd purchase & so are our grandchildren. Ages 2, 3 & 5.

Great fun

Expensive and big but the kids love it and have tried different ways of playing with it already, so it is worth it!

Planks Set

Great set

We purchased the planks this year and the play couch last year. My little one is 3 and has endless amounts of fun everyday with both of them. The planks are very well made and strong. They are the perfect size for my little one to carry and make different obstacles with. I would highly recommend these products.

Amazing

The wedge set is really sturdy and my almost 2 year old loves using it as a slide and climbing ramp as well as pushing his toy cars down it as a fun ramp. I’m so pleased with the colour and quality as well as how strong and sturdy they are and can tell after a few months they will be played with for years to come. Expensive, but good quality and worth it for the hours / years of play!

My son loves his play couch

We love our play couch. I got some extra bits (like the crash mat) and we use all of it daily. My son loves running around so we have ours usually set up as a climbing course.
Such good quality, takes a beating and is just like the day it came. Worth the price for sure! I intend on adding bits every year.

Such a versatile quality product

We love our play couch. The quality is amazing and I love that it has removable covers that can be washed. The kids have lots of fun with all the different creations from the shapes. We have ours in the toy room and also use it as a reading spot or just to relax and sit while we watch the kids play.
We also needed somewhere for guests to sleep overnight, and this was another reason for buying this. Everyone who’s slept on this has said it’s so much more comfortable than the blow up air beds!
I even take it into the living room when we need some extra seating.
So happy with this purchase, it’s expensive but great quality, has multiple uses for us and is just so so comfortable. So well worth the money

Great fun!

My 16 month old granddaughter loves climbing around on her possum play cushions and hiding in/ crawling through a tunnel! I thought she might be a little young for it but am glad I bought it early for her. I can see that she will have many years of fun with it, especially when she is old enough to use it for creative, imaginative play as well.

Amazing play sofa

Absolutely love our play sofa, bought it for our little girl’s 1st birthday and whilst it’s already getting some use, we can see how it will get even better as she grows up! So happy with it, an excellent purchase and would highly recommend it to any family with young kids

We love our play couch!

We bought the play couch for our 14 month old son. He absolutely loves it! He loves climbing over all the different pieces, enjoys just sitting on it looking at books and we also bought the wedges which he enjoys sliding down and climbing up. We would definitely recommend it to others and we’re looking forward to the future den building as he grows. The possibilities are endless.
It’s also super comfy too!

The BEST!

My mum got a play couch for her house for when the kids stay.. well, all 4 of us siblings loved it so much we each got one for our own houses and kids - we just got ours as a Christmas present for our 3 kids (6, 4 & 2) and it has definitely not disappointed! They play with it every single day, we’ve used it as beds, pretend gladiators, dens, cars, gymnastics practice, crash pads, pretend giant monsters that eat them.. to name just a few. I love having a comfy seat in their room to read a story on and we even use it as extra seating in the living room. Because you can split it into 2 seats it’s easier to find space for (in a house crammed full of toys). We just love it!

Best thing I have bought for the kids' rooms

My kids are 6 & 8, i was worried this would be a little too young for them as the advertising shows more toddlers but I am so so glad I got it. The quality is fantastic and feels really nice and sturdy. My kids absolutely love them and use them as chill out lounge chairs/sleep over beds for friends/movie nights etc. They have also reignited their love for building dens. I want buy more pieces to go with it. I held off a little as quite pricey and considered getting a proper sofa chair instead but really happy with my choice! Deliver was super quick too.

My Girls Love It

My girls got the grey set for Christmas from their Grandparents and they absolutely love it - they’ve made so many dens since Christmas Day! I think it will be something they play with for a long time. Delivery was fast and I’m really happy with the quality of the product

The best gift

We bought the possum play couch for Christmas and it was the best gift ever. Versatile to play with and wonderful for a good rest. We can easily take it from one room to another. We’ll definitely go for add-ons!
