An Intro To Our Fabrics

Microsuede

Our original fabric, Microsuede, is an affordable, all-purpose fabric made from 100% polyester that was, like, destined for kids. Microsuede is made out of a superfine polyester, which is then brushed to give it a signature silky softness. This is what makes our microsuede "single brushed."

Adventurer

Part cover, part machine (not really, but you know), our Adventurer fabric is built for one thing: adventuring! 🌏🏝️🥾🚢🧳✈️

Joeys are a big investment, and we know the more ways you can use it, the better! That's why our Adventurer covers are made out of Taslan nylon: our most durable, versatile play couch cover set EVER!

Made with waterproof Taslan and water-resistant YKK Vislon zippers, this cover set allows your play couch to become a world traveler, going to the great outdoors and beyond. Use them year round, whether it is outside during the summer or indoors during the winter for everyday play. 

Say goodbye to extra waterproof covers** 🙅 and say hello 👋 to the most versatile play couch covers. 

**While you don't need our protector covers when using our Adventurer set, they do offer additional protection for your foam and are highly recommended for your play couch.  

Reviews from Parents

"You NEED this!! We are super excited we are now able to bring our Joey outside. The material and zippers on this cover are excellent quality and it is SO EASY to put on. The fabric is much more slippery then the regular microsuede, we’ve been having so much fun using the bases as slides. Highly recommend!" - Sarah Schotel

"Such a great option! I have not had this cover long but already it’s a clear favourite. We bought the adventurer cover for slide builds but my 3.5yr son loves it so much he wanted everything covered. It’s a sturdy fabric and the zippers are nice too. It is also amazing for wiping off dirt and dog hair. There are builds that will need the original cover but all the rest of the time I think this one will be on. I think adding pillow covers for the rockers and adventure packs would also be amazing." - Crystal

"This cover is a really wonderful addition to our collection. It’s not heavily used outside for us BUT it’s so fun for our obstacle courses to have a more “active” fabric for the kids to climb over/under/slide/move. It takes our obstacle courses up a notch and the kids REALLY love this set. Sliding is more fun. Jumping is more fun. Army crawling through a tunnel is more fun. Highly recommend!" - Elizabeth Fulton

Pros

• Machine washable
• Strength and wear resistant; incredibly durable; only fabric that can be used outdoors and indoors
• Taslan is 100% waterproof and hates water like your kids hate 🤢 broccoli 🥦 
• Very stain and chemical resistant; repels grease, dirt, and other stain-causing substances
• Breathable, moisture wicking, and quick drying, keeping you and your kids cool! 
• Doesn't require special care

Protector

The best friend for your play couch you didn't know you needed!

Kids spill things, and that’s a fact of life, so we made these water resistant, zippable covers to put underneath your favourite play couch to protect your foam from everything from liquid spills all the way to dust mites! Kind of like a mattress cover, our Protector covers are made out of a waterproof, polyurethane-laminated polyester knit fabric. That's a mouth full, I know!
