Barumba Play Couch
Why Are Play Couches So Great For Children?
Play couches promote tons of creative and physical play time. They can be used in many different ways.
The benefits of play couches:
-
Promotes gross motor development - children crawl in and out, reach up, bend down, move around, lift and reconfigure
-
Promotes the use of imagination and creativity
-
Stimulates problem solving skills, hand-eye coordination, cooperation, collaboration, social skills development and patience
-
Builds spatial awareness
-
Teaches planning and follow through
-
Strengthens core muscles
-
Allows for proprioceptive activities, such as "heavy work" as children have to lift the pieces and move them around
-
Provides vestibular input for improved balance and body awareness
-
When the pieces are not being used for play, it can be used as an actual sofa (against a wall so the backrest stays firmly in place) and as a comfortable floor mattress for sleeping

“I'm just so excited that I found The Montessori Room”
"I'm just so excited that I found The Montessori Room. I have a one year old grandson and I research toys endlessly, especially educational toys but if you're like me, that research can be time consuming and exhaustive. I feel like the research part has been done for me by the wonderful team at the Montessori Room and all I have to do is pick and I can't go wrong! Not only that, the website is so well organized and easy to navigate, the follow-up emails confirm order, address and delivery and the items arrived in one day in perfect condition. Communication was friendly and responsive and the best part? It feels great to support a local business with a huge selection of Canadian made items... Thank-you, Thank-you!

Barumba Play Couch foam is 1.8 density with a 50 ILD on all pieces. 1.8 density is standard for residential furniture. 50 ILD is fairly firm to the touch but still comfortable enough to sit on as a couch. Want to understand more about foam density/ILD? Read their blog post.
The Barumba play couch is made in Canada from domestic and imported materials. More specifically, the foam is manufactured and cut here in Canada while the fabric is cut and sewn overseas. Product design, product assembly and packaging happens in Canada.
The exterior fabric is constructed using a soft microsuede material that is soft to touch and provides just enough friction for great builds. The fabric is Oeko-Tex® certified, which means it has been tested to be free of harmful substances and is safe for human health.
The inner liner that lies between the microsuede exterior and the interior foam consists of a fabric that is 50% polyester and 50% polyurethane. Polyurethane is completely safe for humans and is often used to waterproof outdoor fabrics like jackets.
The foam is CertiPUR-US® certified foam, which means it is made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, heavy metals, mercury and lead, formaldehyde, phthalates regulated by the CPSC, and is low VOC emissions (less than 0.5 parts per million).
Barumba has also conducted their own independent safety testing with a third party laboratory.
It is recommended that the play couch be opened within a few weeks of delivery to let the foam decompress . The foam will become more firm over this period. You can use the play couch right away.
It is recommended to wash play couch covers right away before use.
Wash covers by itself in cold water and hang to dry. Keep the zippers closed in the wash and open for drying.
The white inner liners stay on the cushions to protect the foam from liquids but can go in a delicate cycle and hang dry if needed.
It is also recommended to occasionally vacuum or use a lint brush on your couch. Unlike your regular sofa, which is lifted off the ground, the play couch lives on the floor so any dust or crumbs on your floor will of course make contact with your play couch.
