Buffy Orthopedic Pet Bed in Bone Corduroy Small ($79, originally $105)
“Like most cats, my girls tend to find their favorite spots and stick to them for a while. When I introduced the Buffy pet bed to them, Trish took a fonder liking because it’s the perfect landing spot for my heating pad, which she loves sitting on during the day, even though it’s turned off (I’m laughing). I also laid it down right next to the window, where Trish’s younger sister, Kit, enjoys her own round wicker nest, so they’re able to stay close without invading each other’s personal space.
If you have cats, I definitely recommend investing in the smallest size, which measures 31″x24″x6″. And note that I was surprised by how much room it took up, given the lack of floor space in my smaller apartment. Both of my cats fit on it comfortably and will often use it for a boost of height when they’re sitting upright and staring out the window curiously. Trish also loves it for lying down so she can stretch herself out.
I think my favorite part about the bed is just how supportive it is. There are three layers of foam and a nonslip backing on the bottom, so it stays in place and gives my cats a nice place to land without sinking in. Of course, the fact that it’s machine-washable adds to the convenience. As any cat parent knows, hair balls and “pukey,” as we call it, are common messes.” — Sarah Wasilak, associate director, Shopping
