Cat Bed: the guide to choosing well

All the advice you need to find the ideal model.

The cardboard box always wins, and here's why

If your cat prefers a cardboard box to its brand-new bed, it isn't ingratitude. A box has high sides, just the right size, and it holds in heat. A cat sleeps fourteen to sixteen hours a day and loses body heat while sleeping: it looks for something that touches it on all sides. A big flat cushion offers exactly the opposite. The good news is that this criterion is easy to copy.

Size: smaller than you think

The most common mistake is buying too big out of kindness. A cat sleeps curled up on itself, and the right cat bed is roughly the size of that circle, not the size of the stretched-out cat. If it floats inside, it doesn't feel held and will go elsewhere. A bed that's too snug is obvious right away; one that's too big goes unnoticed and stays empty for months.

Open, closed, hanging: three sleeper profiles

The bolster bed suits most cats: it holds without enclosing. The closed model, tunnel or cave, is made for timid cats and busy households, with children or a dog. The window hammock meets a completely different need: sleeping up high, warm, with a view. Many cats use all three depending on the time of day.

Placement, once again decisive

A cat chooses where to sleep based on three criteria: warmth, quiet and field of view. Near a radiator, against a wall, with a view of the room. A bed set in the middle of the living room or in a draft stays empty, even if it's perfect. Before buying, watch where your cat already sleeps on its own, and put the bed in that exact spot.

Upkeep, what will make you stick with it

A cat bed gets dirty fast: hair, litter grit, dust. Before buying, check whether it has a removable cover or is machine washable at 30°C. A bed you can't wash ends up in the trash within a few months, and that's the most ordinary reason people buy a new bed every year.

Kitten, adult, senior: the bed changes with age

A kitten looks for warmth and contact: a kitten bed with high sides, placed near you for the first few weeks, helps it sleep alone. An adult multiplies its spots and changes places throughout the day. An older cat jumps less high and appreciates a low, easy-to-reach, well-padded bed. In every case, plan on more than one resting spot: a cat with only one bed ends up sleeping elsewhere.

Sleeping up high, even without room for furniture

A cat rests better when it looks down on the room. The window hammock meets that need without taking up floor space, and it works even better in a small home. If you have a little more room, the platforms and condos of a cat tree for apartments often become its favorite bed, and a wall-mounted cat tree adds nap spots along a wall. The right bed is sometimes a floor of its own, not one more basket.

What goes on around the bed

A cat doesn't sleep well just anywhere. Keep its bed away from the automatic litter box or litter pan, foot traffic and drafts, and keep water and meals in another zone, with our cat food dispensers and water fountains. A short session with its cat toys late in the day, followed by dinner, sets up a real night of sleep, for both of you. The bed is part of a whole: find the rest in our cat accessories.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does my cat prefer a cardboard box to its bed?
Because a box has high sides, just the right size and holds in heat. A cat sleeps fourteen to sixteen hours a day and loses body heat while sleeping, so it looks for something that touches it on all sides.
What size cat bed should I get?
The size of its circle when it sleeps curled up, not the size of the stretched-out cat. Too big, and it doesn't feel held and will sleep elsewhere. It's the most common mistake, and it goes unnoticed because a bed that's too big doesn't get in the way, it just stays empty.
Open bed or closed bed?
The bolster bed suits most cats. The closed model, tunnel or cave, is made for timid cats and busy homes, with children or a dog. Many cats use both depending on the time of day.
Where should I put my cat's bed?
Somewhere warm and quiet, with a view of the room and against a wall. The easiest approach is to watch where your cat already sleeps on its own and put the bed there, rather than choosing the spot that suits you.
Is a window hammock comfortable?
Yes, and it meets a different need from a basket bed: sleeping up high, in the sun, with a view outside. Just make sure the suction cups go on a clean, dry pane, since that determines how well it holds.
How do I wash a cat bed?
Preferably choose a model with a removable cover or one that's machine washable at 30°C. A bed that can't be washed fills up with hair and litter grit within a few months, and that's the main reason people buy a new bed every year.
Which cat bed should I choose for a kitten?
A bed with high sides, sized for it, placed somewhere warm and near you for the first few weeks. A kitten looks for contact and warmth: a bed that's too big or isolated in an empty room goes unused.
How many beds does a cat need?
At least two, in different places. A cat changes spots throughout the day depending on warmth, light and quiet. A single bed, however perfect, doesn't cover all of those moments.
