Our Story
Where it all began
The Go Coconut story begins with a baby 👶🏽
When one of our founders Diana Horqque learned she would soon become a mother at the end of 2019, she began scouring the internet for motherhood advice and became obsessed with the Montessori philosophy of education. Creating an environment that would favor maximum independent learning and exploration for the child immediately became her top priority.
That's when she discovered the concept of foam furniture. At the time, few companies existed and procuring one proved to be almost impossible, with delays up to 6 months for delivery. But while the available options had their own merits, she was thrilled by the opportunity to develop a design that was not only more exciting and versatile but also promised a lifetime of enjoyment with fewer toys.
Combining the love for fabrics passed down from her mother with her experience as a toy designer, Go Coconut was born in 2020 from a simple mission; empowering children to become more confident through independent play, while providing parents a tool to create these special family moments which would soon become lasting memories for the future.
Making it happen
From the very start, we wanted Go Coconut to become the industry standard for quality, durability and trust. If we were to fulfil these ambitions, we knew it was essential to manufacture locally. This was the only way we could keep control of the entire process and quality control each piece we would send out into the world.
From concept to full fledged business in just a few months, we are very proud of the accolades we have received from the Canadian Press. From our featured tv story in Global news shared countrywide, but also in major newspapers such as La Presse and the Journal de Montreal-Casa.
Where we are now
Today, Go Coconut not only designs every piece it creates, but it also controls the entire production process from cutting the fabric, to assembling each piece by hand with the help of local workers, to stuffing the foam in and packaging products for shipping.
We pride ourselves in having THE BEST customer service, because we want your experience to be as smooth as is possible. Whichever means of communication you prefer; we are just an email or a phone call away!
We are also committed to make tomorrow a better place to live for our children. All your Coconut products are covered by a lifetime warranty on manufacturing of our covers, so they can last forever. We are also engaged in reducing waste sent to landfill, by upcycling ALL our fabric and foam leftover into products donated to charitable organizations. Our next goal is to become BCORP certified!
Play it smart! Choose Go Coconut and join us on our journey!
