Possum play sofa
Ok, this is a VEEERY big investment-financially and space-wise.
BUT if you can afford the pennies and room for it you absolutely will not regret it!! It’s so versatile-the kids and built dens and obstacle courses, used the long sticks as horses and (of course) dueling sticks. The big kids have even made “sandwiches” of each other and squished whoever was inside the “sandwich”. We have used the big base pieces as crash mats under other equipment and alongside the bed in case of rolling out in the night when they transitioned to big-kid beds. We’ve stuck a fitted sheet on the base bits and used them as a floor mattress for sleepovers. If you have, what I shall kindly call, “energetic” kiddos like mine are, having something safe, soft and robust for proprioceptive play.
The thick base is so strong my 7 year old can sit on top of it when its in a tent position and it doesnt just squish down-its so well made and the coveres come off for washing (which I really need to get around to). We have had ours for years and everyone who comes for a play date seems to end up going home and getting one because its just so versatile and played with every day. definitely 5 stars-100% reccommend.
