Cat Bed

Q: 1. How do I choose the right cat bed size

Watch how your cat sleeps. If they curl into a ball, a cozy enveloping bed will do the trick. If they like to stretch out, choose a larger size (like a cat bed). The easiest method: measure your cat while asleep (nose to base of the tail) and add a few inches so they can easily shift positions.

Q: 2. Does my cat prefer an open or enclosed bed

An open cat bed works well for sociable cats who like to stay close to you and keep an eye on the room. A more enveloping bed (high edges, cocoon effect) is often preferred by shy cats or those looking for a hideaway. Many households combine both: one bed "close to you" and one "quiet corner" spot.

Q: 3. How do I wash a cat bed

For a washable cat bed, follow the care label: some cushions are machine-washable, others need hand washing. Vacuum fur regularly, wash the cover or cushion, and avoid heavily scented products (cats have a very sensitive sense of smell). Keeping a bit of their scent on the bed often helps them stay attached to it.

Q: 4. Cat bed, cushion, or mattress: what's the difference

A cat cushion is simpler and flatter, perfect for adding to a bed, piece of furniture, or shelf. A cat bed provides structure with reassuring raised edges. A thicker, plush cat bed, sometimes orthopedic, offers extra-deep comfort. The right choice really depends on the spot, the season, and your cat's habits.

Q: 5. Where should I place the bed so my cat actually uses it

Place the bed in a quiet spot, away from the litter box, with a clear view of the room (cats love to observe). Avoid drafts. A slightly elevated spot can also help. You can add a cloth with their scent or a few treats nearby for the first few days.

Desk cat beds: 3 models from $99.99 to $104.99, for twelve-hour naps

A cat sleeps most of the day: its bed is not a decorative detail, it is where it spends the most time. This collection gathers 3 available cat beds, from $99.99 to $104.99: a rotating plush bed, a woven rattan basket, and a 360° rotating wooden tray, all made for the cat that works alongside you. All are rated for a cat up to 22 lb (10 kg). The comparison table above lists materials and prices; the filters sort by material and budget.

How to choose a cat bed

How your cat sleeps. Curled up: a bed with high rims (5 to 8 in / 12 to 20 cm) holds and reassures it. Stretched out: a wider format or a mat.
Material. Plush fabric keeps warmth and is soft, but holds more hair; rattan and wood are easy to wipe down and stay cool.
Placement. A quiet corner, out of drafts, with a view of the room. A sociable cat prefers an open bed near you; a shy one, an enclosed bed.
Cleaning. Removable cover or wipe-clean surface: check the label on the product sheet.

Our other bedding collections

To complete your cat's resting spot, explore our collections: cat beds, cat hammocks, cat teepees, and cat houses. Ideally, offer at least two spots (one in the "family hub" plus one "quiet corner") to maximize adoption.

Three beds, three ways to sleep

The rotating plush cat bed ($99.99) for the curled-up sleeper; the 360° rotating wooden desk tray ($104.99) for the one that sprawls; the rattan desk basket ($99.99) for the cat that supervises your keyboard.
