This modular playroom sofa is the buy that parents say ‘has been one of our best ever purchases’ – it can be built into a car, a fort, a house and so much more
If you’re looking for a playroom sofa for your little ones, I think I may have just found the one. The Tutti Bambini Playrama kids play modular sofa, available at Amazon, is loved by children and parents alike – and it’s easy to see why.
Google Trends reports that searches for ‘kids sofa’ increased by 20% in the last month which shows that there’s a clear demand for a playroom sofa like this one. Suitable for children from 12 months and up, this is a modular sofa specially designed for kids’ play which is why it makes for such an excellent playroom idea. The individual pieces can be endlessly rearranged to form anything from a car to a house-like structure and anything else that your child can come up with.
One parent and existing customer wrote, ‘Cannot recommend this enough! We were a little sceptical that our children might be too old for this (age 7 and 9), but it has been one of our best ever purchases. This is used daily as a sofa in various configurations, but it has also been crash mats, a balloon keepy uppy net, a tank, horse stables, a rocket, a house, a car and many more that I can’t remember.’
The imaginative, playful design of the sofa is based on the Montessori teaching and learning method which emphasises creativity, adaptability and confidence, even when it comes to play. As the product description states, ‘the sofa encourages imaginative play and hands-on exploration, supporting cognitive and motor skill growth as children design and build their own setups.’
When I showed the playroom sofa to my sister Laura Vlkova, a teacher at a Montessori preschool and a mother of two, she was thoroughly impressed and said that if you have enough space for it, she’d highly recommend a sofa like this for a kids’ room or a playroom for seating, building play and general jumping around.
On top of all of that, the sofa is equipped with removable covers with a jumbo corduroy finish, available in three different colours to choose from depending on your child’s room colour scheme, and they’re machine washable which makes cleaning up so much easier. That’s another feature that persuaded my sister to give this sofa design a thumbs up.
Another reviewer at Argos wrote, ‘I’m really happy with the sofa I bought for my daughter’s bedroom, it’s a beautiful colour, the fabric is good quality and we love how modular it is.’
The only downside that customers have noted is that after delivery, it takes about a week for the foam modules to fully puff up – since they arrive flattened – rather than the 48 hours that the brand estimates.
A previous customer writes, ‘It took a little longer than 48 hours to fully unsquish, but 9 months on of constant use, I don’t even remember that! It was maybe a week to fully puff up??’
Are you considering getting a playroom sofa like this one for your little one?
