For sensory-seeking kids and the adults who love them
Heavy work, safe crashing, and somewhere to regulate
Climbing, stacking, crashing and burrowing are how a lot of kids organise themselves. A Figgy gives that its own furniture: dense enough to hold a build, soft enough to land on.
The kinds of input it supports
Described plainly, without overclaiming what a couch can do.
Proprioceptive
Pushing and dragging dense cushions, climbing over them, landing on them. The resistance is the point. The pieces are heavy enough to require real effort from a small person.
Vestibular
Rolling down a wedge, tipping, tumbling, hanging upside down off a stack. Movement through space, at a height a parent can live with.
Somewhere to go quiet
The same pieces make an enclosed den. For a child who needs less input rather than more, a dark, soft, walled space in the middle of the living room is often the whole answer.
The builds, in practice
Three of the four configurations families use most.
Builds that families come back to
The configurations we hear about most from sensory households.
- The crash pad — Bases flat and stacked, bolsters at the edges. The most-used build in most sensory homes, and the reason foam density matters.
- The ramp — Wedge against a stacked base. Rolling and sliding, repeatedly, for as long as they want.
- The den — Bases on edge, one across the top. Enclosed, dim and quiet, without leaving the room everyone else is in.
- The obstacle run — Pieces spread out as stepping stones. Planning a route and crossing it is the part that holds attention.
Built for the way this gets used
Sensory play is hard on furniture. This is the part that matters.
Year warranty
Covers defects in materials and workmanship. It matters more when the couch is used daily and roughly.
Ages it suits
A wide enough range that siblings with different needs use the same set differently.
Pieces to build with
Four bases, two bolsters and a wedge. Enough to build a tunnel, a ramp or a den.
Questions we get from OT and sensory families
Is this a therapy product?
No. Figgy is play furniture. Some occupational therapists and sensory-focused families use it as part of a play environment, but it is not a medical device and we do not make clinical claims about it. If your child is working with a therapist, ask them what suits your child.
Is the foam dense enough to actually build with?
Yes. The bases hold their shape under a climbing child rather than folding. Base cushions are 33 by 33 inches and 4.5 inches thick, and the four of them connect to each other with Velcro so a build does not slide apart mid-use.
What happens with accidents and spills?
Covers are removable and machine washable. Waterproof liners are available as an option and sit under the cover, which matters if you are dealing with toileting accidents or frequent spills.
Will it survive daily heavy use?
That is what the 10-Year Playproof Warranty is for. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, valid on Figgys purchased on or after 1 July 2025.
What about children who mouth or chew fabric?
Fabrics are GREENGUARD Gold and Oeko-Tex certified, and components are independently tested for lead, BPA, phthalates and formaldehyde. Foam is CertiPUR-US certified with no added flame retardants.
Which fabric holds up best?
Performance microsuede is the most forgiving for heavy daily use and cleans up most easily. Order the swatch set if texture matters to your child. For some kids it is the deciding factor.
Not sure it will hold up to your household?
Order a swatch set for ten dollars and feel the fabric first. If it is going to take a beating, you should know exactly what you are buying.
