I looked at ALL of the play couches before settling on this one. The features, quality, safety, and EVERYTHING about this couch seemed far superior to me. I cannot believe that this isn't getting more visibility. I found countless reviews on the competitors but this is like the little known secret golden egg. With 11 pieces, the sky is the limit for what the kids can create. With a waterproof lining built in and all washable covers, I don't have to worry about accidents. They are vacuum packed so the box it comes in is surprisingly compact (around 1.5' square wide x 4.5' tall maybe?) and they make them in small batches so they come right to life (i was worried that I'd have vacuum smooshed pieces for days and hiding a whole couch for weeks before Christmas didn't seem like a feasible option! The firmness seems just right to me, comfortable for sitting (solid enough for adults), tough enough for building, soft enough for when the kids whack each other over the head. The price may seem high when you compare to other brands but when you really scrutinize what you're getting, there is so much more value since other brands make you pay for waterproof liners as an add on and the cost per piece is less than $50 vs more than $60 per piece on the more popular brand(s). Only suggestion I have is to offer more colors to meet more home aesthetics (fortunately the navy went perfect with our decor but other brands have a lot more options here).
Bottom Line: I had to talk my husband into this purchase but we have no regrets. Countless configurations, unlimited play opportunities.
Outstanding customer service and great product. Larger pieces than other brands. Definitely worth it!
We got it for child’s one year birthday and they already love it for climbing and playing on. 10 year old cousins also have had so much fun making forts with it
I ordered one for my 13-14 month old son and he loves it just as much as I do. It’s comfortable and fun to use the different shapes and pieces to make forts or just to sit on. Would recommend to anyone who’s on the fence on whether to buy or not.
We were shopping for play couches and carefully went through the tons of options on the market today. Ultimately, we went with Barumba because of the clean materials and the positive reviews of the product lasting a long time even with rough play. We thought of this purchase as a bit of an investment and so far we are not disappointed. My son is turning one in a few weeks and is very mobile and already loves tumbling on this couch.
My kids have been playing non-stop with their new play couch. What a slam dunk!
I bought a Barumba as a Christmas gift for my kids. As soon as we took it out of the box they couldn't wait to play with it. We washed the covers and hung them to air dry overnight. Everything was easy to assemble and the kids got to work building forts, towers, tunnels, lounge chairs, a dance stage and a couch with their Barumba. My in-laws sat on the couch and were impressed with the quality of the product and all the different things the kids made with it. They're considering buying one for their home, for when the grandkids visit. Overall, we are very happy with the product. It's beautiful, durable and the perfect way to keep the kids entertained, using their imagination and playing together without screentime. It's fun for the whole family.
Amazing costumer service- very speedy and detailed. Kids love the couch; lots of fun and versatile. I love the colour and the creativity that come out of play time.
This was a huge hit with my four year old. We've made lots of forts and obstacle courses.
Kids love it and it looks stylish in our home. So many different uses to keep them occupied!
Canadian made (non-toxic) play couch with several building pieces and waterproof covers in neutral colors - exactly what we wanted! Foam is firm enough to build, yet comfortable enough to sit. Why more could you ask for?
I bought two play couches for my new play space, Playsticity, and they are a HUGE hit. The kids are so excited to see the volume of materials and options. I'm really glad I did my research and chose Barumba!
I love it. We got the raspberry pink play couch for my baby’s first birthday. Only thing I felt is I wish the arches were more sturdier. The arches are not that strong to hold the shape. It falls over easily. Other than that everything else is good
love that its washable, love the waterproof covers, its super firm. as my kids grow they will get more creative with it, right now some of the pieces are too heavy for them to move around. kids are 4 and 2.
We got this for my son for his birthday and him and our daughter love it she builds and he crawls around in it. It is so worth it everyone in the family loves it.
I chose Barumba from a large list of companies because of the brands locality and good reviews, and I'm happy I did. It's beautiful, the covers are easy to put on, and I'm excited for my daughter to grow into playing with it. She's just turned 2, so it's a bit advanced but is already requesting we go build "fohts" !
Our 17 month old daughter loves climbing around on it and reading her books on it every morning and evening. As she gets bigger, she will love all of the things we can do with it. Our nieces and nephews have so much fun with it too :) So does our dog!
Best kid couch on the market!
The best kid couch on the market! Comes with so many pieces, made in Canada & tested for toxins, all have waterproof liner cover already included, and comes in such a beautiful sage colour. My daughter has been LOVING it so far and it’s been a great way to let her get some energy out during the rainy days we have been having. They balance really well on one another and don’t fall over easily when making builds. They also hold weight exceptionally well and don’t flatten out like I’ve seen others do. Very impressed and will definitely recommend Barumba to everyone!
This couch is amazing...
This couch is amazing - our 11 month old twins use it everyday!
Our whole family is happy with this purchase!
The kids love it, it is sturdy, looks great, and I love the texture of the fabric. The teal is really pretty. We are having lots of fun building tunnels and rocketships!
Zero Regrets, Canadian made
Great communication from the company. Very happy with our couch. Canadian made means a lot to us and they helped make it happen. Can't believe how fast our order came in
11 piece play couch… Look no further!
We were looking at all the different couch options available, and this one stuck out since it has 11 pieces. We purchased for our son’s first birthday, but gave it to him a few months early. Even at nine months old he loves climbing over the pieces. We have made a few builds, but we know that this coach will get lots of use as he continues to get older. The covers are really durable and the grey colour is perfect for our play room. Although this couch does come at a higher price point, when you consider getting a traditional four-piece couch, and then tack on all the additional wedges, pieces, etc. the prices add up to be comparable if not more. With this couch, you really don’t need to purchase additional pieces and I love that it’s Canadian made!
High quality and fun for our whole family!
We’re loving it so far! Small pieces that a younger child can move on their own; the pieces, fabric and zippers look and feel high quality; made in Canada; no chemical smell when we opened it; and fast shipping!
Flexible Fun
We love this play couch, its versatile for building the best fort ever or for chilling with a book!
