Find their shape.
Four structures, one purpose: a practical place for your cat or dog to rest indoors. Start with their usual sleeping habits, then check the actual measurements.
Bolster Beds ↗
Raised borders frame a resting area for curling up or leaning against an edge. Compare the inside space carefully; the outside footprint includes the border.
Sofa Beds ↗
Open-front beds combine a back or sides with an easy approach. Consider the height of the entry and leave room for your pet to stretch.
Cave Beds ↗
Covered or hooded resting spots offer a sheltered shape. Check the opening and footprint so your pet can turn and leave freely.
Everyday Mats ↗
Simple pads and open cots keep the resting surface accessible. Check dimensions and any stated frame load limit.
