Best Cat Beds

Covered with luxurious, plush faux fur, the Maya Donut Elevate Cat Bed is the perfect place for your cat to take a nap. It also features a deep filling, allowing your cat to sink into comfort and, along with the donut design, feel as though they're wrapped in a warm hug.

The innovative raised design gives your cat the ability to sleep from a slightly elevated position - something most cats prefer. It also keeps the bed off your floors which, in turn, allows air to circulate around your cat while they sleep - perfect for a warm summer day.

The entire cover can be removed and machine washed when it's starting to look (or smell) a little dirty, and with multiple colours and foot styles available finding a combination that suits your home is made super easy.

What do our experts say about the Maya® Donut Elevated Cat Bed?

This is the kind of cat bed that you might be tempted to crawl into for a nap yourself! We love the luxurious feel of the faux fur and the deep fill cushioning really allows your cat to get comfortable. The elevated legs are an excellent design feature too, especially if you'd prefer to keep the bed off the ground.

Who is the Maya® Donut Elevated Cat Bed best for?

This donut cat bed would be best for a cat who switches between curled-up sleeping and open sprawling, as it allows for both styles. The deep fill will create a secure-feeling wrap around your cat when curled, while the open design allows for sprawling and cooling off when needed.

If you're looking for something a little quirkier for your cat to rest in, the Miche Space Capsule Cat Bed fits the bill perfectly. This fun design allows your cat to creep in, curl up and, when needed, peak out at their surroundings without having to leave their comfortable den.

The design element is just one thing that makes this bed such a good option, though. It also has a soft, smooth texture that your cat will love sleeping up against along with a cushioned base for comfort and support.

This capsule bed is also foldable and portable, so you can easily store it away when needed or even take it on vacation with you without worrying about it taking up loads of room in your car.

What do our experts say about the Michu Space Capsule Cat Bed?

We loved the design of this bed. It's perfect for inquisitive cats and kittens who prefer to sleep in an enclosed space, but still like to keep a watchful eye on what's happening around them. The faux suede material is soft to the touch as well, so there's no chance of it causing any discomfort while your kitty is sleeping.

There are a couple of downsides, though. First of all, the cushioned base is quite thin compared to other cat beds. And, while it's great that this bed is travel-friendly, it can't be put in a machine wash.

Who is the Michu Space Capsule Cat Bed best for?

The Michu Space Capsule Cat Bed is best for cat owners looking for a fun addition to their cat's accessories. It would also be good for cats who prefer to sleep in a hidden, enclosed space.

Some cats need a little reassurance when they go to sleep, particularly rescue cats or those who have anxiety. This Calming Cat Cuddler is perfect for this as the round bed design and deep filled cushioning wraps around your cat as they sink into it, mimicking a warm embrace in the process, and helping them feel secure.

The super long pile vegan faux fur cover is incredibly soft to the touch, and can also be removed and washed with ease when needed. The filling is made of an EcoFresh foam and recycled PET fibre mix which can also be topped up at any time through the zippered entrance point. Perfect if the bed starts to sag a little over time, and saving you money in the process.

What do our experts say about the Calming Cat Cuddler Mink?

This is a really great bed for any cat who suffers from anxiety and needs a place to sleep where they can feel safer, calm, and secure. We also love that it features recycled materials (something we're all looking to invest more in these days), and the covers were super easy to remove for washing.

Who is the Calming Cat Cuddler Mink best for?

The Calming Cat Cuddler is best for any pet cat who suffers from anxiety as it really will help them feel calm and safe while they snooze. That being said, it would also be good for cats who love snuggling in a tight ball while sleeping and would even be suitable for small dogs too.

If you're short on space and need your cat bed to offer some multifunctionality, the PaWz Rattan Pet Bed would be a great choice. Made up of two levels, the base acts as a cat bed lined with a plush faux fur cushion while the 15kg capacity top level can be used in a variety of ways. This could be as an end table or as a designated area for your kitty to sit up high and survey their surroundings.

The rattan and velvet construction offer this bed both durability and strength, as well as waterproofing properties. This doesn't only mean it won't get damaged by any accidental spills, but makes it easy to clean with a wet cloth.

Another great thing about this pet bed is that the open design promotes air circulation. This allows your cat to cool off on a hot day as well as preventing bacteria from building up and causing bad smells along with it!

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the PaWz Rattan Pet Bed?

We really like the unique design of this bed and it is perfect for anyone looking to get the most out of a cat bed as possible. The generous 15kg top level capacity makes it perfect as a functioning piece of furniture, while the bottom level is good for cats who love curling up in a tight space to sleep. The water-resistant properties are also a great touch.

Who is the PaWz Rattan Pet Bed best for?

The PaWz Rattan Pet Bed is best for cat owners who are short on space but still want to provide their kitty with a comfortable place to sleep. It would also be a good choice for kittens.

Made from 100% merino wool, this cave bed is a great choice if you want something eco friendly without any synthetic materials or chemicals. This also makes it a good choice for cats who may suffer from allergies or skin issues.

It features a 2-in-1 design. Use it as an enclosed igloo bed to keep your cat warm on cold days and, by flattening down the top, you can create an open bed for warmer days. This also makes it great for cats who switch between sleeping styles.

The thick walls provide both durability and comfort for your cat as well, while the felted design is strong enough to withstand pawing and scratching from sharp claws.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the MEOWFIA Premium Felt Cat Bed Cave?

Cat igloos are something that most cats love sleeping in, and this is no exception to that rule. We love that the 2-in-1 design offers a cave-like, safe space for cats to sleep securely and, when needed, it can be transformed into an open bed! Initially, we were concerned about the durability of a bed made purely from felted wool, but this is actually really sturdy.

There are downsides, though. Since it's made of wool it isn't water resistant and can't be machine washed.

Who is the MEOWFIA Premium Felt Cat Bed Cave best for?

The MEOWFIA Premium Felt Cat Bed is best for cats who like to switch between curled-up sleeping and sprawling openly. It's also great for cats who suffer from skin conditions aggravated by synthetics and chemicals, as the 100% natural materials are kind to the skin.

If your kitty has a tendency to sleep on or near a radiator to keep warm, they'll love this Self Warming Cat Bed. Featuring innovative self-warming technology and lined with electricity, your cat is assured warmth and comfort while napping while the heat-reflective fabric ensures they are safe at all times.

The foam core provides support for your cat as well, making it a great choice for elderly or arthritic cats who need some of the weight taken off their joints while they snooze. The internal wiring and heating elements are completely noise free too, so there's no risk of it disturbing your cat (or annoying you) while in use.

Another great thing about this pet bed is that it features a non-slip backing, so you know it'll stay in place no matter how much your cat wriggles while they sleep. It's also lightweight enough to move around the home with ease.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the Self Warming Cat Mat?

This is one of the best cat beds for kitties who need warming up in the winter months, or who simply prefer to keep warm all year round. The self-heating mechanism works really well and, mixed with the heat-reflective fabric, we feel confident that there's no risk of overheating. It also felt soft and luxurious and, while the design isn't geared towards cats who like to wrap up tightly, there's no denying it is one of the most comfortable cat beds out there.

Who is the Self Warming Cat Mat best for?

The Self Warming Cat Mat is best for cats who need a little extra warmth when they sleep. It's particularly good for senior cats or cats who suffer from arthritis as the mixture of warmth and supportive foam cushioning will help support joints and ease any pain.

Many cats like their own space within your home and, while it may be a bit extreme to offer them their own bedroom, this teepee is a great alternative.

Crafted from durable materials, it is easy to assemble in just a few minutes. The cave-like design also calls to your cat's natural instinct to shelter as well and its overall design is just a lot more fun than many other cat igloos.

A pink pillow is also included with this teepee, making it comfortable from the start. The pillow is also well-padded for comfort, can be machine washed, and is quick drying, making it easy to clean and replace before your cat has even noticed it's gone.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the Paws for Life Cat Teepee?

We loved the fun design of this teepee bed. The cave-like design is welcoming and encourages your cat into their own space, while the included cushion provides comfort while they snooze. Sure, it doesn't have as many features as some of the other beds we've reviewed, but there's no denying it's a fun option that would look great in a child's bedroom.

Who is the Paws for Life Cat Teepee best for?

The Paws for Life Cat Teepee would be best for cats who like to take themselves off for some alone time, or who prefer a space they can call their own. It would also be a fun addition to any home, and would look particularly good in a kid's room.

Cats know that comfort is King, and this Memory Foam Bolster Bed is one of the most comfortable cat beds we found in our trials. To start with, it is stuffed with memory foam that offers ultimate support for your cat while they're dreaming, moulding itself to their shape and taking all pressure off their joints. It also features a bolster design that gives them somewhere sturdy to rest their head and provides a semi-enclosed space.

This bolster bed also features a durable fabric cover that can be removed and machine washed. It is also available in 15 colours, so there's always a perfect match for the rest of your interior design theme, and you can even add elevated feet to the bed as well. This helps keep your floors protected and boosts circulation around the bed.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the Memory Foam Bolster Cat Bed?

Another super comfortable bed that any cat would be happy to call their own. The memory foam insert and bolster edge is perfect for providing both comfort and support, which is something many older cats pets from a bed, while the cover felt durable but soft at the same time. We love the customisable options this bed has to offer as well, not just in terms of colour but feet style as well. This really did make it much easier to find a bed that matched the rest of the home, rather than having to settle for a standard bed.

Who is the Memory Foam Bolster Cat Bed best for?

This is best for older or senior cats who would benefit most from a memory foam mattress. It is also a good choice for humans who want a cat bed that can be customised to blend in with the rest of their house.

If you have an indecisive cat who can't quite settle on where to sleep, the AUSSIE FURBABY could be exactly what they need. This contains two beds in one - an igloo for when your cat wants somewhere secure and secluded, and a top level open bed for snoozing out in the open.

The sturdy design can support a cat weighing up to 5kg while the fleece lined beds provide comfort and warmth. Each of the cushions is reversible as well, providing you with both summer and winter options and, ultimately, giving you more value for money.

And, on the subject of value for money, this bed also contains a built-in scratch pad and a dangling toy. More than just something your cat can call their own bed, this offers everything your cat needs to rest and stay entertained.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the AUSSIE FURBABY™ Cat Bed?

This is almost like a complete cat activity centre and, while this means it isn't solely a bed, is actually quite a good thing. This is especially true if you're short on space and need as much multifunctionality as possible. We like that there are some clever design elements such as reversible bedding, and the fact your cat is offered two places to rest is, again, a really good design feature if you need something with multifunctional use.

Who is the AUSSIE FURBABY™ Cat Bed best for?

This bed would be best for cat owners looking to get the most for their money. It is also a great choice for indecisive cats who aren't quite satisfied with just one bed to call their own!

This Luxury Elevated Sofa from PaWz is one of the most stylish cat beds we found. The modern design is perfect for blending in with almost any interior design theme while the sofa-like style will give your pet cat the feeling of sitting on their very own couch.

Style isn't everything, though. Comfort is also key, and with its soft velvet upholstery, this bed will feel luxurious against your cat's fur as they rest. It also boasts 20D sponge padding that offers comfort and support, while the solid wood legs promote air circulation. This doesn't only help keep your cat cool but prevents moisture and bacteria from building up.

The cushion cover can be easily removed and machine washed and, with a 50kg capacity, this bed is ideal for multi-pet households who like to snuggle up together.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the PaWz Luxury Elevated Sofa Bed?

We love the look of this bed. If you've been searching for something that either matches your sofa or blends in perfectly with the rest of your home, this is ideal. We also liked how comfortable it is! This really is like a small sofa for your cat to curl up on.

Igloo cat beds are often fluffy or boxy and that just doesn't suit everyone's style. So, if your cat prefers igloo sleeping but you want something modern-looking to fit your home, this Cave Cat Box could be exactly what you've been looking for.

Made from durable ABS plastic, this bed is totally non-toxic and offers a secure, safe place for your cat to rest in peacefully. It also makes a perfect hiding spot so, should your cat become scared or anxious, they'll know they have somewhere they can bolt to.

Inside this igloo bed you'll find a padded cushion that is both comfortable for your cat to sleep on and machine washable. The entire igloo is easy to clean as well thanks to its plastic construction, and can be simply wiped down with a damp cloth.

What do our experts say about the YES4PETS Medium Cave Cat Box Igloo?

Most cat owners want their fur baby to have a secure place they can call their own. Whether that's for relaxing or to bolt when they feel scared. This igloo bed is perfect for providing both of these things. We loved the seclusion it offered while still feeling spacious enough to comfortably move around in. The easy-cleaning and water-resistant properties are also a great design feature, especially given that it is white so dirt will show up much easier.

Made from felt, both the exterior and interior of this tent are soft without sacrificing any durability. It can also be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth, so it's really easy to keep looking good, and the included cushion insert is machine washable.

Another great thing about this tent is that it is travel-friendly. So, whether you're visiting family for the holidays and taking your cat with you or you simply want to make sure they have their own bed when you book them into a cattery, you'll be able to transport it with ease.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the Paws for Life Cat Tent?

While cat tents and teepees are wonderful for creating a makeshift room in your home that your cat can call its own, many have childlike designs that just don't fit in with your decor. This cat tent is not one of those. We love how modern-looking it is while still serving purpose. We also love how easy it is to clean, and the travel-friendliness of it really is the cherry on top of an all round excellent cat bed.

Who is the Paws for Life Cat Tent best for?

The Paws for Life Cat Tent is best for anyone who knows their cat would love a teepee-style bed, but still wants it to look good in their home.
