How to Choose the Perfect Cat Bed: Comfort Meets Design

A cat’s bed is more than a sleeping spot — it’s a sanctuary. At Cat Emporium, we focus on comfort, durability, and aesthetics so your cat’s rest complements your interior.

1. Observe Their Sleeping Style
   • Curlers → round nest beds with bolsters.
   • Stretchers → flat mats or low loungers with open edges.
   • Hiders/Anxious → covered domes or felt caves with single entry.
   • Heat seekers → window hammocks or beds near radiators (with heat-safe clearance).

2. Size and Shape
   Choose an inner diameter slightly larger than your cat’s full curl (usually 35–45 cm for most adults; 50 cm+ for large breeds). Edges should compress slightly to “hug” without collapsing.

3. Materials That Breathe
   Look for cotton-linen covers, wool-blend felts, or quality faux fur with short pile. Avoid ultra-plush synthetics that overheat. Non-slip bases help on wood or tile.

4. Elevation and Security
   Raised frames (10–20 cm) provide a vantage point and airflow under the cushion. For seniors, keep the edge low on one side for easy entry.

5. Easy Care
   Prioritise removable, machine-washable covers, separate inner cushions, and zip closures. Keep a spare cover to swap during laundry — hygiene without downtime.

6. Style Cohesion
   Neutral palettes (ecru, stone, ash) integrate seamlessly. Match wood tones (oak, walnut) with existing furniture so the bed reads as design, not “pet gear.”
