Ready to stop the cushion chaos? Want to reclaim your couch so your family can actually sit on it? Meet Figgy! The first waterproof, completely modular kids couch. It’s soft play furniture designed for kids to build forts with, jump on, and create endless memories.
What Is a Kid’s Couch, Anyway?
A play couch is typically made from foam and fabric and designed to be used in multiple ways. What it doesn’t have is springs or a rigid frame. Sometimes it's referred to as soft furniture and is designed to be played with, rather than just being sat on.
Let’s look at some of the kid’s couches and their features that are on the market today. They are perfect for kids of any age, but a real hit when used as toddler furniture.
Why Modular Matters for Kids’ Development
Play couches make look like toys, but they are developmental tools. Not only are you seeing them in homes, but in OT/PT practices too. Did you know that modular kid’s couches promote:
-
Imagination & open‑ended play
-
Gross‑motor practice (proprioceptive + vestibular input)
-
Sensory‑friendly calm space for neurodiverse kiddos
-
Easy living‑room reset (less mess vs. raiding the family couch + sheets)
Imagination & Open-Ended Play
According to Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination ebraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Kid’s sofa’s are a blank canvas for creativity that young minds crave. By kid’s the opportunity to build things, you are promoting learning and driving them to decide what they will make and how they will use it.
Gross‑motor practice
Gross motor development happens when kids crawl, walk, jump, balance and move their bodies through space. Modular kid’s couches are perfect for working on these skills. By turning a play couch into an obstacle course, slide, ball pits, and building forts kids are working their gross motor skill muscles.
Sensory‑friendly calm space for neurodiverse kiddos
Having sensory-friendly toys for neurodiverse kids is a must-have. Play couches create a safe way to offer a calm-down space. Since they are modular and easy to move, it’s something you can have in any room of the house… right there when you need it.
Easy living room reset (less mess vs. raiding the family couch)
Toy clutter is stressful, and one of the best parts of owning soft furniture is that it looks good and is easy to put away. Modular couches set up as kid’s furniture when not in use and can be bought in many different colors to match your home aesthetic. The pieces easily come apart and back together. They hide in plain sight! Play couches keep your family couch safe and free from broken springs, stained covers, and overused cushions.
