The Best Cat Beds (Review) in 2022

Incredibly comfortable but also supportive for better sleep, the Best Friends by Sheri OrhtoComfort Deep Dish Cuddler is, in our opinion, the best cat bed out there. There are several reasons why we believe this is the best pick for most cats, but the two most important ones are the bed’s generously filled high walls that provide a sense of security, and a cozy and flexible fabric that accommodates various sleeping positions. This offers the perfect combo of safety and comfort, both of which are absolutely necessary for good-quality feline sleep.

Importantly, the bottom of the bed is made of water and dirt resistant nylon, so if accidents ever happen, they’ll be easy to deal with. Also, the entire Deep  Dish can be vacuum cleaned or tossed in the washer and dryer when deeper cleaning is required.

If you’re looking for the best heated cat bed, look no further than K&H Pet Products Thermo-Kitty Cat Bed. Featuring soft foam walls, a fluffy pillow bottom and a 4-watt heater, this pet bed will keep your feline companion safe and cozy on those cold nights. It works automatically, providing just enough warmth to keep your pet comfortable while it’s in use. This feature is especially useful if your kitty is in her golden years or suffers from arthritis, as the heat helps loosen up knotted muscles and provides a welcome boost of comfort.

Conveniently, the foam walls and the heater can be removed for easy machine washing of the cover. To ensure pet safety and meet all applicable electrical safety standards, the bed has been tested and certified by MET Labs.

If you’re looking for a more affordable and simpler version of a heated cat bed, the Aspen Self-Warming Cat Bed is a fantastic option. Made with Mylar heat-reflecting technology, this little self-warming bed reflects your cat’s body heat, keeping him warm and cozy with no electricity required. The exterior is made of plush corduroy, while the interior is thickly padded and covered in faux lamb’s wool that provides soft comfort. The bed also has a non-skid bottom for safe placement on both tile and wood floors.

Thankfully, you can machine wash this durable bed, and although tumble drying is not recommended, many satisfied customers do it with no issues – just fluff up the bed with your hands after the dryer is done, and it should look as good as new.

If your cat frequently needs a break from socialization and a safe place to hide, consider purchasing an enclosed cat bed such as the Pet Cave by Best Pet Supplies Inc. The interior is made of polyfoam lining which molds to your kitty’s favorite position every time, plus is plush and soft, providing support and comfort for quality sleep. The exterior, which is in the shape of a tent or cave, gives a sense of privacy and safety without compromising on convenience – the entire tent is machine washable and designed to last.

This cat bed comes with a removable cushion, which, much like the tent itself, can be machine washed for easy maintenance. As a bonus, the roof can be folded down into a super-thick pad that your kitty can comfortably sleep on without any enclosure.

Made of medical-grade orthopedic foam, the FurHaven provides joint support for more restorative feline sleep. The bed also has a lightweight and fluffy three-bolster design which, together with its cozy nooks, allows the cats to nestle, burrow and sleep in a variety of positions. The plush faux fur lines the top of the base made of orthopedic foam, making for a truly soft, comfy pet bed. Because it’s designed to provide as much comfort and support for quality sleep, this cat bed is ideal for seniors and cats with joint issues and arthritis. That said, it’s more than comfortable for younger kitties too.

The bed cover is easy to clean as it’s machine washable, while the bolster liner is not. On the plus side, this liner is suede which helps hide dirt and dander pretty well.

Cats are natural predators. That’s why we always see them perched high up on a branch of a tree or even on your fence. They always like to stay up high because, as animal behaviorists put it, they have a much better view of crawlers, critters, and other prey that may be present on the floor below them. While the Curious Cat Cube Cat House/Condo is neither a tree nor a fence, it does provide a feeling of being on top for your feline friend. Just consider a box with a large oval opening on one side and several smaller oval holes on the other sides. Covering this box is a soft and comfy bed which is perfect for perching your feline up high.

Technically, the Curious Cat serves two purposes: one for resting and one for playing. Either the private den or the padded top can serve as a sleeping area for your kitty. The private den or hideaway can also serve as a play area for your feline as it comes with two jingle balls that dangle on the sides your pet can play with. It’s the perfect tool for promoting feline wellbeing as you are not only looking after your kitty’s rest and sleep needs, you are also tending to their play and exercise requirements. Made of faux suede, the Curious Cat is easy enough to clean and should be a great addition to your collection of furniture at home.

Designed like a small cave, the bed offers a sense of security and warmth, promoting comfortable sleep. Since the design is flexible, your cat can also lie on top of it as the bed will mold to their shape. Best of all, your kitty can change their sleeping preference (inside the cave or on top of it) daily.

Since this is a durable, all-natural material, it can withstand frequent vacuuming and hand-washing, but it shouldn’t be machine washed. The good news is that the Merino wool naturally repels odor and dirt.

The Midwest Homes for Pets cat bed is a compact, budget-friendly bed with a bolstered design.

Semi-opened in design, this bright yellow pet bed offers a sense of security and warmth. And when your kitty is in a desperate need for some alone time?

Because it’s quite soft and flexible, the bed should not be machine washed. Instead, you can hand wash it with gentle soap when needed.

The bed is made with completely machine washable covers, so you can chuck it whole in the machine whenever needed.

If you need a sturdy but comfortable bed for your multi-cat household, the Kitty City Steel Claw is a great choice. With a sturdy frame and expandable environment, this pet bed offers one sleeping area on the bottom and another one on top, plus lots of room for extra accessories if want them. For extra convenience, there is a small toy attached to the bed, which your kitty can play with while using the base bed. Speaking of beds, the bottom one is padded, and has a comfy, tear-resistant fabric, while the top one is made from soft but strong fleece. There are also some Velcro stripes there in case you want to add more beds at a later date. While convenient for stacking beds, the Velcro can be a bit annoying on its own, so it’s best to place an extra blanket/soft towel on top.

The covers can be machine washed on a delicate cycle.
