The Nugget

What’s Included?

The Nugget comes with four (4) base cushions, two (2) triangles, and an optional wedge. The Nugget base cushions are sewn together into a top layer and a bottom layer.

The top layer of the Nugget is thinner than the the bottom layer.

Quality/Durability

The Nugget fabric is a traditional microsuede. It’s soft and comes in vibrant colors and holds up to machine washing, which is a plus! They use quality zippers and invisible zippers.

The bottom layer of foam is thick and firm and great for active kids - if they intend to use it to build forts and other things, this is the piece you’d want to use. Which brings me to the top layer.

Nugget Top Layer Cushions

The top layer of the Nugget is thin and squishy - which makes sense - it was designed to be a dorm room couch. However, for kids looking to build sturdy forts it isn’t super useful.

The handles are made from white nylon and there is only one handle per a set of cushions.

Overall Value

The Nugget gets a 8/10 for being made in the USA, having good colorway options and being a solid product. I prefer equal bases as opposed to a thin top layer that is hard to build things for kids with.
