Such a cool toy!

Such a cool toy!
I purchased this when we moved house as we no longer had an outdoor cubby. My kids absolutely love it! Their favourite things to make with it are cubby houses and obstacle courses. The wedges and moon arches are heaps of fun - we also use them every day for my littlest one as a step to get on the couch and our beds. My kids get them pretty dirty quite easily and so far, I've been able to wipe them down with baby wipes and had no issues with stains.

Just like how we played when we're kids. With even better and mindful quality.

Just like how we played when we're kids.
I bought this because I used to take out all the couches and lay it on the floor and play pretends, built fords with them.. now with possumplay I can do that again with my bubba (without losing my couch) and knowing it's made with safe materials. And it looks great in the playroom! Or living room when bubba grows up.

*Current*
Bubba is 2 now and loves to set it up as a nook to hide out and read a book, play hide and seek.
One of our guests came over in the last minute and we didnt arrange any beddings for him. This play couch saved the night haha.
He slept like a baby on it. JUST LAY THEM FLAT and you get yourself a temp bed! for a night or 2, its better then the hard floor or carpet.

So many ways to play

So many ways to play
Such a big hit for my toddler Christmas morning and every day since. Great for getting energy out when we can't get outside. I even relax on it after the kids have gone to bed! Customer service was fantastic.

So versatile!

It has been non stop play at my place with the possum play couch! It has been incredible, becoming makeshift seats for when friends pop over, spare beds for sleep overs and of course a huge source of inspiration for the kids to create and build. We have enjoyed (..endured 😂) many concerts on the ‘possum stage’.
I’m particularly grateful for the possum during wet weather. My lounge room transforms into a ninja warrior course.

We love our Possum Play Couch! 💕💕💕

Great couch for the toy room


I bought this couch for the toy room as i dont have much space. The fact that it can be functional as a couch and then also a toy at the same time ticks all the boxes for me

Best investment I've made

Best investment I've made. We use it every day as an energy burner for my now 3 year old. He loves the different set ups I make for him. It's mostly used as a crash mat to leap from and onto. Can't wait until my 7 month old joins him in his play.

Awesome product!

Awesome product!
Miss 4 loves her possum play couch. This is used by her everyday in some capacity. It’s even been used a few time as a bed for her when needed. It actually took some convincing to get her back into her actual bed. I will even use Is as a foot rest once miss 4 has gone to bed. Love it and I wish I purchased it sooner!

We love our play couch!!

Couch came quickly and compactly packaged. Opened and inflated slowly as expected. After a day or two it looked lovely. It has been played with daily every day since, by my 5 year old daughter who is quite experimental with how she uses them and and a heavy handed 8 year old autistic boy who likes to use it as a sofa, bed or crash pad! It's been moved from bedroom to front room multiple times (by the kids). We have had a couple of accidents so had to wash the covers, followed the instructions and they cleaned up beautifully. It's not easy to put the covers back on but it's manageable just takes longer than I originally anticipated! We are amazingly happy with our purchase! Super versatile, has been played with every day and I have even used it to have a sleepover with the kids! It is well made, durable, aesthetically pleasing, easy to spot clean and clean. Has been used by a 5, 8, 14 and 16 year old regularly (my youngest too habe insisted that their older brothers join in some of their play couch games)! Would highly recommend and if I had the space I would buy another one, but until our Summer house is built the one will have to do!!

Great customer service

Have ordered 2 play couches through them. The first one - excellent, no complaints in the product or customer service (they were helpful and told me when to expect a sale!)
The second play couch - came with marks. However, they were quick to respond, suggested cleaning techniques and when that failed they sent me a new set of replacement covers.

I would have knocked one star just because it arrived with marks - but received excellent customer service!

Terrible customer service

Ordered during Black Friday sales as a Christmas present, 2 weeks after we ordered they were still advertising that you could order in time for Christmas. The closer to Christmas it got it I was concerned how long it was taking and that we might not receive in time so I followed up with them and all I got back was a link to the tracking which I already had and could see.
I emailed them letting them know we wouldn’t have ordered had we known it wouldn’t arrive in time for Christmas and if it didn’t arrive in time would like a full refund, which they responded saying we’d have to pay for the shipping.
We didn’t receive in time for Christmas and emailed our disappointment and the response was we are going on holidays now we’ll respond to you on the 9th.
We emailed again saying we have contacted our credit card company and will be contacting ACCC and they made up an excuse saying it was delayed because of floods in WA, which there has been no flooding in WA.
Overall very poor customer service and still has not been resolved to our satisfaction.
Also very interesting that they only have 5 star reviews on their website and I can’t see anywhere to leave a review on their website.

Possum Play Couch TERRIBLE company

Upon changing my mind about the colour I chose, I contacted Possum Play Couch within the return period to process my return. I had to reply to them SIX times over a number of days before they finally accepted that I really did want to return my item. I had already ordered a new couch from them and really needed the funds back in my account. It took a further 19 emails before the couch was finally collected. I originally paid £390 for this couch, with armrests. They returned £292.50 to my account, stating that they deduct £70 for returns??? In that case I was owed £320. Although, I am happy to pay for the delivery of my return, a MAJOR concern is that they actually charge also for the original delivery cost which was free at the time of purchase. Most companies build delivery costs into their price, and at £390, I would say that this is true for Possum Play Couch. DO NOT waste your hard earned money on this greedy company. There are other brands of Play Couches which I'm sure are just as good. I am currently awaiting a reply from the company regarding my money owed so I will update when received. I will also give an honest review of the quality of the product when opened on Christmas eve.

Hi Catherine, we really want to apologise for your experience. We know it wasn't a smooth one. It was a bit of a unique situation for us returning items with a second order already made for a sale item, and navigating the Parcelfore strikes for collection of your original order. We appreciated your patience and understanding as we navigated, and hope that your family has since enjoyed their Possum. x

Cushion cover arrived broken/bad customer service

Cushion cover arrived broken. Reached out to the company who were helpful at first but have since stated they don't have the stock at the moment. I asked for a partial refund or an exchange to which they responded poorly. Really poor customer service

Update: the cushion cover arrived after around a month, I reviewed it on their website and they replied saying "sorry it took a few days" which is an outright lie! Wouldn't trust the people running this business.

Hi Hannah, defects are extremely rare and we're so sorry your circle cover arrived with a broken zipper. We were glad to have the opportunity to get your Possum back to perfect condition with a replacement cover. While we didn't have any stock in the UK at the time, we sent one out as soon as it arrived.We apologise for any inconvenience this caused you at the time. x

I'm sure the sofa will be fine but I'd…

I'm sure the sofa will be fine but I'd emailed to ask if I could exchange the sofa for a different colour. Original unopened. Received a fairly sharp "the easiest way to do this" email is to return the item and pay us £70. No other option suggested. This makes the item pretty much unreturnable for most people and I felt a bit unfair. It's foam?!
Be careful on your colour choice and don't expect kindness or pragmatism from customer service. You probably have to pay for colour swatches too.

Hi NR, Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we're sorry for any frustration you've encountered regarding the exchange process.

We understand the importance of choosing the right colour. And as an online retailer, we take great care to accurately represent our products, including offering fabric swatches to assist customers in making informed decisions prior to purchase.

Regarding our exchange policy, as a large item, shipping can indeed be expensive and as a small, family owned business we're unable to shoulder the costs for change of mind returns. We do aim to be transparent about this in our returns policy.

We hope your little ones have loved their Possum Play Couch.

Who likes being lied to?!

UPDATE: I have just had an email from Possum reconsidering their position and am now receiving a partial discount which I am happy with so I have reviewed my rating.

Really disappointed with this company’s lack of honesty. I emailed days before Black Friday asking if there would be any offers only to be told no, and they recommended that I buy immediately at full price. Days later, they apply a discount for Black Friday. Refused to entertain refunding me the difference, and also demanding £40 to return the item. Beware; this kind of lack of honesty is indicative of a company that is money grabbing and disingenuous. Not one that I want to spend my hard earned cash with.
