Zonky
Modular soft play sofa for imaginative children's play
Last updated on 7th September 2026
About Zonky
Zonky makes modular soft play sofas for toddlers and young children, sold to parents looking for something sturdier than a beanbag but softer than furniture. The pieces double as everyday seating when the games stop.
The core range is the Zonky Play Sofa, six shock-absorbing foam pieces, a foldable base, a base support, two triangular pillows and two cuboid pillows, wrapped in removable vegan microsuede, corduroy or teddy fabric and offered in colourways including Banana, Truffle, Grape, Kale, Lion and Blueberry. Built into a sofa it measures 136cm across the front with a 68cm seat depth and 50cm height, though it can be reconfigured into forts, ramps or whatever shape a child decides on. Covers and buttons are sold separately for replacement or refreshing an existing set.
For garden use there is a Zonky Outdoor Play Sofa, with its own cover set and buttons; the outdoor covers add a corovin inner lining to slow water reaching the foam. Foam filling is CertiPUR certified and covers meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and each order is made to order in either the UK or the Netherlands depending on where it is placed.

Questions about Zonky
What is included in the box with The Zonky Play Sofa?
The complete set comprises six modular foam pieces: a foldable base, a foldable base support, two triangular pillows, two cuboid pillows, and a machine-washable outer cover. The Outdoor version also includes an additional inner lining.
How big is The Zonky when built as a sofa?
Configured as a sofa, it measures 136cm long across the front, with a seat depth of 68cm and an overall height of 50cm. Individual pieces range from the base sections down to smaller rectangle and triangle pillows with their own dimensions listed.
Is The Zonky Play Sofa safe for young children?
The Zonky is described as hypoallergenic, fire retardant and made with shock-absorbing foam, though adult supervision is advised during play. It is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and CertiPUR certified.
Can the covers on The Zonky be washed?
The vegan microsuede covers unzip from the foam pieces and can be put straight into the washing machine, making spills and accidents easy to deal with. Cleaning guidance recommends washing on cold with similar colours and air drying rather than ironing.
Is the Outdoor Zonky waterproof for garden use?
The Outdoor Zonky covers are water repellent rather than fully waterproof, and an inner corovin liner reduces the chance that water reaches the foam beneath. Small spills or light rain can be wiped or patted dry.
How long does Zonky delivery take?
Once dispatched, orders are aimed to arrive within 24 to 48 hours, though minor delays can happen around product launches and peak times such as Christmas. Dispatch itself normally takes one working day.
Does Zonky delivery cost extra to Northern Ireland or the islands?
Delivery is free to mainland UK and several European countries, but Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man carry a £29.99 charge due to the extra cost of shipping from England. This applies whether the destination is Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands.
Can I return or exchange The Zonky if I change my mind?
Returns are accepted up to 30 days after the item arrives, provided it is unused and in its original packaging, and the customer pays for the return postage label. Zonky does not offer direct exchanges for logistical reasons, so a return followed by a new order is required instead.
What does the Zonky 12-month guarantee cover?
If a defect or issue arises within 12 months of purchase, Zonky will arrange a complimentary repair and cover the cost of return postage via a pre-paid label. Customers are asked to contact support first so a label can be issued.
Can I cancel my Zonky order after placing it?
An order can be cancelled by logging into the account and requesting cancellation, as long as it has not yet been dispatched. Once dispatched, the item must instead go through the standard returns process.
Alternatives to Zonky - Baby & Kids market

- Sofee Costs noticeably more but adds a liquid-resistant cover as standard rather than as a separate outdoor purchase.
- Little Imagineers The Padoo comes with more cushions as standard and a spill-resistant cover, but sits at a higher price.
- Shappy Ships with more pieces and a longer warranty for parents who want the set to keep pace with an older child.
