📅 July 2025 · Estimated read: 5 minutes
Cats sleep 12-16 hours a day — your cat's bed is literally where they spend half their life. Our Maine Coon has strong opinions about beds. He'll refuse to use a bed he doesn't like and claim one he loves. Here are the beds that earned his (very selective) approval.
MEETCAT Cat Bed Cave (Washable Plush)
The MEETCAT cave bed is our Maine Coon's absolute favorite. The cave design makes cats feel safe and secure — it taps into their natural instinct to hide while sleeping. Made of super soft plush material that's machine washable. The cave holds its shape well even after washing. Our Maine Coon (16 lbs) fits perfectly in the large size. He curls up in it every single night.
K&H Pet Products Cat Window Perch
Cats LOVE watching the world go by. This window perch mounts securely to any window with heavy-duty suction cups (holds up to 50 lbs!). The faux lambswool bed is cozy and removable for washing. The metal frame folds flat when not in use. Our Maine Coon spends hours on his perch watching birds and squirrels. It's his favorite spot in the house.
K&H Pet Products Thermo-Pet Bed
A heated bed is a game-changer for senior cats, short-haired breeds, or cats who just love warmth. This bed uses a low-wattage heating element that warms to your cat's body temperature (safe for 24/7 use). The removable fleece cover is machine washable. Available in multiple sizes. Our Maine Coon uses this in winter and refuses to leave it.
BestPet 100% Natural Sisal Cat Hammock
A unique cat hammock that doubles as a scratching surface. Made from natural sisal material that cats love to scratch and sleep on. The hammock shape conforms to your cat's body. Mounts easily in corners or on walls. Great for cats who like to be up high and observe their kingdom from above.
🛏️ Cat Bed Buying Guide
- Sleeping style: Curlers love donut/cave beds. Sprawlers need flat, open beds. Climbers want window perches.
- Material: Plush/fleece for warmth. Sisal for scratching + sleeping. Cool fabrics for summer.
- Washability: Look for removable, machine-washable covers — cat beds get dirty fast.
- Size: Your cat should be able to stretch out comfortably. Bigger is usually better.
- Location: Place beds in warm, quiet spots away from drafts and loud appliances.
✅ Bottom Line
The MEETCAT cave bed is the best all-around cat bed. Add a window perch for entertainment and a heated bed for winter warmth. Your cat will thank you.
