Nugget Couch vs Foamnasium Blocksy

Published: Jun 26, 2020 · Modified: Feb 26, 2024 by Morgan · As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This site contains affiliate links. ·

Comparing a Nugget comfort couch and a Foamnasium Blocksy? I researched both and surveyed people who had both and wrote this review!

The Nugget couch is a very popular kid's toy. However, they are hard to get as you have to shop a restock sale!

The Foamnasium Blocksy is a popular alternative.

Here are 14 alternatives to a Nugget!

They are both climbing foam cushions designed for kids to enjoy and play with.

In general, the Nugget is the more popular option. People who have both say that they prefer the size, cover material, and durability of the Nugget.

However, Nuggets are very limited in stock and hard to get. If you are wanting a climbing cushion now, you might have to settle for the Foamnasium.

Let's jump into the full comparison.

Note: I own a Nugget but not a Foamnasium, but I have nothing against Blocksy! Click here for my full Nugget review.

Nugget vs Foamnasium Blocksy

What are the differences between a Nugget and a Foamnasium Blocksy?

Nugget and Blocksy are both foam blocks that kids can climb - how different can they be?! Here are the main differences.

Cover material

Nugget

Nuggets have a cover that is microsuede. It is soft and velvety but does show change in coloration if you rub the fabric one way versus the other.

New nuggets including the color Harbor are being released in a double-brushed suede with a $30 premium for this upgraded fabric.

Blocksy

Blocksy is made of a medical grade vinyl.

It is said that the Blocksy is more slippery. This can make it harder to stack and build with. However, it makes for a better slide on your stairs!

Plus, the blocksy is fully wipeable, while Nugget has to be spot cleaned with upholstery cleaner and washed if stained.

Washability

Nugget

The Nugget cover is completely removeable and machine washable.

Here is my how to guide + video for washing a Nugget cover.

Blocksy

Blocksy suggests wiping their covers with a baby wipe instead of removing and washing them.

Quality

This is harder to sum up with facts and figures. However, I am in a lot of Facebook groups where the two are compared. It is a significant pattern that people say that the Nugget is much higher quality.

It is also said that the Nugget is a softer and more comfortable foam.

Colors

Colors are changing constantly but here are the colors they currently come in:

Nugget

  • Koala (light gray)
  • Submarine (navy)
  • Blackbeard (black)

Current limited edition colors:

Size

Blocksy is a bit longer and skinnier than the Nugget - this is a matter of personal preference!

Do Nugget covers fit a Blocksy?

No, they are not the same size and do not fit.
