How to choose a cute cat bed (that isn't just cute)

A cute cat bed has to win twice: once with you, and once with your cat. The cutest designs — banana beds, fruit tarts, pumpkin huts — get the clicks, but cats choose with warmth, security and size. Here's the quick version.

1. Pick the shape for how your cat sleeps

Curlers love donut beds, hiders love cave beds, sprawlers love cat sofas and daybeds, and watchers love window perches.

2. Size up

The number-one complaint on cute cat beds is "too small for my cat." Check our cat bed size guide before you buy.

3. Choose a material for your home

Plush and wool for warmth, rattan and canvas for airflow, bouclé and wood for a designer look. See the materials guide.

Cute cat bed FAQ

What kind of bed do cats like best?

Most cats prefer beds that feel warm, secure and snug — raised rims, soft plush or wool, and a spot near where they already nap. Curlers love donut beds, hiders love caves, and sprawlers love sofas and daybeds.

Do cats prefer closed or open beds?

Shy, young, senior or cold-sensitive cats usually prefer closed cave beds. Confident, large or warm-natured cats often prefer open beds. Half-covered designs are a great middle ground.

Should a cat have a bed?

A bed isn't mandatory, but most cats benefit from one: it keeps them warm, off cold floors and gives them a secure spot to sleep 12–16 hours a day.

What is an inexpensive cat bed?

Calming donut beds, plush novelty beds and canvas teepees are the best cute options under about $35.

What makes a cat bed cute?

A dose of personality — food shapes like bananas and fruit tarts, animal faces like frogs, storybook cottages, or tiny furniture — plus colors and textures that look good in your home.
