Considering a Nugget couch or a Cushy Couch for your kids? Let’s compare them side by side to see which is best for your family.

What are the differences between a Nugget and a Cushy Couch?
Cushy Couch is another popular Nugget alternative, especially for Canadians!
Based on reviews on Facebook, the foam is not as sturdy for builds as compared to the Nugget.
However, the Cushy couch is said to be very lightly compressed so it fluffs up a lot faster than the Nugget. Read about the Nugget foam expanding!
There are 2 interesting additions that the Cushy Couch has available.
First is the Cushy Camper, a waterproof outdoors version. This is super cool if you like to camp, watch movies outdoors, or lounge outside.
They also offer expansion kits, including cubes beams and rectangles. I have heard that these don’t hold mich weight, but they are cool for building!
