A dog or cat that sleeps curled with its chin over the edge of something is doing what it would have done against a littermate, and a raised rim gives it that edge on every side. This bed is built around that habit: a deep ring of long-pile plush that holds its shape, with a flatter sleeping area in the middle that a pet can knead and press into a nest.

The filling is high-elasticity PP cotton, which is what stops the rim collapsing flat after a few weeks the way cheap wadding does, and the pile on top is long enough to work into. Underneath there is a TPU backing that is both non-slip and waterproof, so the bed stays put on laminate and a small accident or a wet coat does not go straight through into the floor below.

• Long plush cover over high-elasticity PP cotton filling
• Raised rim on all sides for pets who sleep curled
• Non-slip, waterproof TPU backing fabric
• Machine washable
• Diameters from 40cm up to 100cm
• Available in black and light grey

On sizing: the diameter quoted is the outside of the bed and the rim eats into it, so the usable sleeping circle is noticeably smaller than the number suggests. Measure your pet nose to tail base lying stretched out, then add a margin. If they sprawl rather than curl, size up or choose a flat mat instead, because a curled-sleeper bed is wasted on a dog who lies flat.

Who it's for: Cats and dogs who sleep curled against something, in homes with hard floors where a bed needs to stay where it is put.
