Considering a Nugget couch vs a Foam Oh for your kids? Let’s compare them side by side to see which is best for your family.
Everyone is always looking for a Nugget knock off! A new popular option is the Foam Oh play couch.
All of these different play couches can be so confusing, and shopping for them online compounds the difficulty in picking one to buy.
Let’s jump in and compare the two!
Note: I own a Nugget but not a Foam Oh, but I have nothing against the Foam Oh! Click here for my full Nugget review.

What are the differences between a Nugget and a Foam Oh?
Nugget and Foam Oh are both foam and fabric kids modular play couches. But, there are a lot of differences between these two sets.
The primary difference is in the shapes and pieces that each set comes with: a nugget is more like a couch, while a Foam Oh is designed to build a castle.
There are some other minor differences, but that is the primary one!
I will say, I have reviewed several play couches with arches and semi-circles, and they are all priced at a premium. The Foam Oh is priced low.
If you want a play couch with fun, unique pieces, I highly suggest that you check out the Foam Oh!
