What foam density does Grumpi use?

Foam across the Grumpi range runs from 28.2 to 36.1 kg per cubic metre, depending on the piece and how it is meant to be used. Those figures are recorded in independent SGS test reports.

Is Grumpi furniture independently tested?

Yes, by SGS, an independent third-party laboratory. Every fabric in the range has been tested to AS/NZS 4088.1 for cigarette smouldering ignitability across 12 reports, all passed with no ignition. Durability was tested using AS/NZS 4688.2 methodology: 20,000 seat cycles and 15,000 back cycles at 950N, plus 30,000 swivel cycles at 45 degrees on the Peachi. All passed. These are measured results rather than a conformance claim.

How much does Grumpi furniture cost?

Grumpi prices start at $199 AUD for a Tootsi ottoman. The Plumpi beanless bean bag is $299, the Loungi Occasional Chair from $239, Loungi arm and corner modules from $419, the Peachi Swivel Chair from $439, the Loungi Corner Sofa $829, and the Loungi Modular Sofa from $829.

How much is shipping at Grumpi?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery postcode.

How long does Grumpi delivery take?

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 3 business days. Metro delivery in 10 business days or $100 back: if a metro order is not delivered within 10 business days from dispatch, Grumpi gives you $100. Regional and remote areas can take longer and are not covered by the guarantee, though Grumpi still aims to deliver within 10 days.

Can you return Grumpi furniture once it is opened?

Change-of-mind returns require the box to be unopened, because the furniture is vacuum-sealed and cannot be re-compressed. If you have already opened it, you can donate it to a registered charity and Grumpi will refund 75% of the item price with proof of donation. Faulty or damaged items are repaired, replaced or fully refunded.

Who pays for return shipping at Grumpi?

Grumpi covers return shipping and arranges the pickup, sending you a prepaid label. The original delivery fee paid on the outbound order is not refunded.

Does Grumpi furniture need tools to assemble?

The Loungi, Plumpi and Tootsi need no tools at all, and Loungi modules connect to each other with a zip. The Peachi Swivel Chair is the exception: its base plate screws on with an allen key and takes about two minutes.

How many reviews does Grumpi have?

Who we are

Grumpi is an Australian-owned furniture brand founded in Melbourne, Victoria.
Founded by two brothers, Cory and Dion Verstandig. It's a small Australian business — online only, no showroom.
ABN 85 652 097 197. Contact: help@grumpi.com.au
We started Grumpi because buying a couch in Australia cost more than a holiday and still took 12–16 weeks to arrive.

The foam — and why density matters

This is the question that actually matters with furniture in a box: is the foam any good, or does it give up after a month? Cheap low-density foam compresses once and never properly recovers. That's where every sofa-in-a-box horror story comes from.

Foam across the Grumpi range runs from 28.2 to 36.1 kg/m³, depending on the piece and how it's meant to be used — firmer where you need support, softer where you want give. Those figures are recorded in independent SGS test reports, not estimated.

Most furniture brands won't tell you their foam density at all. We'd rather you could check.

Testing

All testing carried out by SGS, an independent third-party laboratory.

Fire

Every fabric in the range — corduroy, faux fur, soft fabrics, velvet and bouclé — has been tested to AS/NZS 4088.1 for cigarette smouldering ignitability (method AS 3744.1).
12 reports. All passed, with no ignition.
Ten cover the covering material. Two are full fabric-and-foam composite tests.

Durability

Tested using AS/NZS 4688.2 methodology across three product formats: lounge chair, lazy sofa and swivel chair.
Seat fatigue: 20,000 cycles at 950N. Back fatigue: 15,000 cycles at 950N. Both passed.
The Peachi's swivel mechanism was separately tested to 30,000 cycles at 45°. Passed.
These are the cycle counts we tested to. We describe them as measured results rather than as a conformance claim, because that's what they are.

Materials

Our foam supplier holds CertiPUR-US certification, and REACH SVHC screening on the PU foam returned non-detect across all 247 substances tested (Eurofins).
The fleece used on the Plumpi is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class I — the tier used for baby articles.
Manufacturing is BSCI-certified.

Test results apply to the samples tested. Full reports are available to retailers and media on request — email help@grumpi.com.au.

How it's made

Every piece is vacuum-compressed and ships flat in a box that fits through a standard doorway.
It expands to full size in 24–48 hours after unboxing.
The Loungi, Plumpi and Tootsi need no tools at all — unwrap them and let them puff up. Loungi modules connect to each other with a zip.
The Peachi is the one exception: it has a base plate that screws on with an allen key, which takes about two minutes. We don't claim the range is tool-free, because it isn't quite.
Fabrics across the range include faux fur, bouclé, corduroy, fleece and velvet.

Reviews

Across the range we have 105 verified customer reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5 (as at 21 August 2026). Every review is collected from a verified purchaser and shown on the relevant product page.

Quick answers

Is Grumpi furniture good quality if it's affordable and comes in a box?
The price is lower because we have no showrooms and no middlemen, and because compressed furniture is far cheaper to freight than assembled furniture. None of that saving comes out of the foam — it runs 28.2 to 36.1 kg/m³ and has been independently tested by SGS for both fire and durability.

How much is shipping?
It's calculated at checkout based on your delivery postcode.

Do you need tools to assemble it?
The Loungi, Plumpi and Tootsi need no tools — Loungi modules zip together. The Peachi needs an allen key for its base plate, about two minutes.
