Nugget Couch vs. Tarube

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

My kids have and love 2 Nugget couches, but in the last year as demand has increased, so many knock offs have popped up!

Today I am talking about the Tarube, another play couch, and comparing it to the Nugget!

Here are my 12 favorite indoor climbing toys for toddlers!

Note: Tarube appears to have been discontinued. See my other recommended Nugget knock offs here!

nugget vs tarube comparison

What are the differences between a Nugget and a Tarube?

The Tarube base pieces are squares instead of rectangles, and the 2 squares can zip together to form a rectangle.

The pillows are rectangular instead of the Nugget’s triangles.

Finally, they have some add on pieces that are an additional cost but are cool for elaborate builds! This includes a ball pit, bridges, wedges, and “sticks and stones”.
