Mats and Beds

Dog and cat beds for different sleeping styles

A dedicated pet bed creates a familiar resting place for naps and overnight sleep. When choosing a dog or cat bed, look at the position your pet naturally adopts. Some animals curl up and rest their head against a raised edge, while others prefer to stretch out across a flat surface.

The category includes beds in multiple shapes, dimensions and finishes. Available designs include soft bolsters, rectangular sofa beds, fluffy and plush models, corduroy and velvet-style finishes, removable cushions and lightweight resting mats.

Bolster beds and pet sofas with raised sides

Bolster and sofa-style beds combine a padded base with raised edges. The sides provide a surface against which a dog or cat can rest its head or back. This design may suit pets that like to curl up or seek support around their sleeping area.

The range includes rectangular, round and contoured designs. Selected products feature removable cushions, non-slip bases or moisture-resistant undersides. Check the individual product specification, as these features are not shared by every model.

Plush, fluffy, velvet or corduroy pet beds

The outer finish affects both the texture and appearance of a bed. Plush and fluffy models provide a soft surface, while corduroy beds have a distinct ribbed texture. Velvet-finished options are also available.

Match the surface to the animal’s preferences and the intended location. Care instructions should also be compared before purchase, since washing methods vary between products. A removable cushion or insert can make selected models easier to refresh.

Flat pet mat or raised dog bed?

A flat mat provides an open sleeping surface and takes up less room than a deep bolster bed. It may suit pets that sleep stretched out or avoid high sides. The available 90 × 60 × 4.5 cm padded mat is lightweight, waterproof and intended for dogs, cats and other pets.

Raised beds are better suited to animals that prefer to curl up or lean against a soft edge. The choice should therefore reflect both the pet’s body size and its usual sleeping position.

Cooling mats for dogs and cats

Waterproof gel cooling mats are available for warmer conditions. The range includes 50 × 40 cm and 50 × 90 cm formats, making it possible to select the surface area according to the animal’s size.

Place the mat on a level surface and inspect its condition regularly. Stop using it if the outer layer becomes damaged. Always follow the care and usage instructions supplied with the selected version.

Self-warming pet mat without electricity

The self-warming mat uses its material structure to retain the animal’s natural body heat without an electrical connection. The available model measures 56 × 44 cm and combines a soft top with a non-slip underside.

It can be used on its own or placed inside a bed, carrier or car. When using it in a carrier, make sure it lies flat and does not reduce the pet’s available space excessively.

Cat beds with a scratching surface

The range also includes cat beds that combine a resting area with a scratchable surface. They are available in several sizes, including S, M and L. Selected versions have removable foam inserts, non-slip bases and washable covers.

This type of bed brings two functions together in one compact product. Compare the complete dimensions with the cat’s size and check the specific washing instructions before ordering.

How to select the correct pet bed size

Measure the animal while it is resting in its usual position. For a dog, measure from the nose to the base of the tail and allow extra room for changing position. With high-sided beds, compare the internal sleeping area rather than relying only on the external measurements.

The category includes compact beds measuring approximately 35 or 50 cm, larger 60 and 80 cm models and rectangular mats. Labels such as S, M, L and XL may differ between product ranges, so always check the measurements listed for the individual item.

Where should a pet bed be placed?

Choose a quiet, dry location where the pet can rest while remaining aware of its surroundings. Avoid blocking walkways or placing the bed in a constant draught. A lightweight mat can provide an additional resting spot when an animal regularly uses more than one room.

For smooth floors, consider a model with a non-slip underside. Remove loose hair regularly and clean the bed according to the instructions for its particular material and construction.
