Kids' 11 Piece Play Couch

Of all the options out there, we went with Barumba largely based on the recommendation of The Montessori Room (online store and physical store in Toronto). They chose to carry this one based on the number of different shaped pieces that you get in a single set, as well as the size of the pieces (smaller compared to some couches) which allows for more independent building. They were right! Ours sees use every day, and the fact that our three year old can move the pieces herself (except the biggest one) means she can build what she wants to build without needing much help from us. I also loved that the waterproof liners are included. While this set is a bit pricey compared to some of the ones you can get, you get a lot for it and I think it is worth the price. One note - I was hoping it could function as a spare "bed" for guests in a pinch, but I tried sleeping on it and it was too firm for me. Kids can sleep anywhere so they'd probably be fine, but don't count on it for adults. Not a knock against the couch, as that's not what it's made for - just a note that this may not check this box if that's what you need.

Substantial feel to the bricks. Very strong. Love the fact that have a water PROOf cover under the bring and comfy water resistant one.

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!

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.
