Zonky Play Sofa

Last updated: 26 October 2026

What the Zonky Play Sofa is

Put together, it is a low two-seat sofa for a playroom or a living room. Taken apart, the six pieces become building blocks that children can stack, lean and lay out however they like.

Each piece is shock-absorbing foam inside a removable cover. Zonky makes the covers in vegan microsuede, corduroy or teddy fabric, depending on the colour. The sofa is made to order in the UK or the EU, depending on where you order from.

What is in the box

• 1 foldable base: 136 x 68 x 14cm when opened out
• 1 foldable base support: 136 x 68 x 7cm when opened out
• 2 triangular pillows: about 47 x 26 x 27cm each
• 2 cuboid pillows: about 47 x 20 x 14cm each

Set up as a sofa, it measures 136cm across the front, 68cm deep and 50cm high. It arrives in one box of about 70 x 69 x 69cm, so check your doorway and hall before it comes.

Who the Zonky Play Sofa suits

• Families with toddlers and young children: the foam pieces are soft enough to climb and fall on, though Zonky advises adult supervision.
• Homes without a playroom: rebuilt as a sofa, it looks like furniture rather than a pile of toys.
• Grandparents or a group buying one big present: it is a single gift that several children can share.

The limits

It is a big spend for a toy. At £249.99, the replacement cover set alone costs £69.99, so a damaged cover is not a cheap fix once the guarantee runs out.

Customer service reviews are mixed. Zonky has a TrustScore of 3.4 out of 5 from 75 reviews on Trustpilot, with complaints about broken zips, torn covers and slow replies to emails.

Returns need care. Zonky only takes back unused items in resealed packaging, and it does not do exchanges. If you want a different colour, you return it and order again.

It takes floor space. Even folded into a sofa it is 136cm wide and 68cm deep, so measure the room first.

Where to buy it in the UK

Zonky sells the sofa direct, with free delivery to mainland UK and dispatch in about a working day. It is not on Amazon UK. The OEKO-TEX label means the fabric is tested for harmful substances; the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 page explains what is checked. For more ideas for children, see our gifts for kids and big kids.
