A Festive Plaid Bed for Cats and Dogs
Cats and dogs spend most of the day asleep, and they choose the same spot every time. A bed gives them somewhere of their own — a place with a little height around the edge that feels sheltered rather than exposed, and a warm surface to curl up on when the heating is off.
This festive plaid bed pairs a red-and-cream check outer with a short plush surface, raised bolsters on every side and a row of red pom-poms along the rim. Inside, a PP cotton fill gives it the height and give a sleeping pet needs. The plaid and the trim are what make it read as a festive bed, while the construction underneath is the same as any good everyday bed: a padded base that sits flat on the floor and a bolster tall enough to lean a chin against.
It comes in three sizes so the bed can be matched to the animal rather than the room. The small bed (40 × 30 × 20 cm) suits cats and small pets, the medium (50 × 40 × 25 cm) suits medium dogs such as a beagle, and the large (60 × 50 × 30 cm) suits larger dogs such as a labrador.

- Winter months, when pets look for the warmest spot in the room — and the rest of the year, since the fill stays comfortable in any season
- Living rooms, bedrooms and beside the sofa
- Gifting a pet-friendly home over the festive season

Frequently asked questions
What sizes does the festive plaid pet bed come in?
It comes in three sizes: small at 40 × 30 × 20 cm, medium at 50 × 40 × 25 cm and large at 60 × 50 × 30 cm. The small bed suits cats and small pets, the medium suits medium dogs such as a beagle, and the large suits larger dogs such as a labrador.
How do I choose the right size for my pet?
Measure your pet from nose to the base of the tail while it is lying down, then choose a bed at least that long so it can stretch out. Cats and small dogs usually curl up, so the small size is enough for them; medium and large dogs need the extra length and the deeper bolster.
What is the bed made of?
The surface is a short plush fabric over a PP cotton fill; the outer is red-and-cream plaid with green piping and red pom-pom trim, built around raised bolsters and an oval padded base.
Is it warm enough for winter, and can it be used all year?
Both. The short plush surface and PP cotton fill make it a warm bed for winter months, and the same fill stays comfortable in spring and autumn, so the bed can stay in the room all year — the plaid and pom-poms are a look, not a season limit.
How should I clean the bed?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry fully before the bed goes back down. Brush out loose hair regularly — in a pet home the lining collects hair long before it looks dirty.
