1. Cat Nest Bed

Its unique bowl shape is what sets this bed apart from others. It’s beautiful, supportive, and portable, and best of all, most cats find these beds irresistible!

Our Favorite Cat Bed Is ...

Paying close attention to where your cat enjoys sleeping is part of the magic in finding them a bed that's suitable to their individual needs. Factoring in their comfort requirements, length of naps, and where they prefer to be when they rest are considerations you must take when choosing the purrfect bed! After plenty of research, this was our top pick for practicality, design and comfort.  

The Hepper Nest Bed 

No products found.

Cats are known to be particular about their beds which is why finding the right one often poses a challenge for pet owners. The modern design of the Hepper Nest Bed was thoughtfully created for maximum coziness that many cats cannot resist. Molded into a comfy bowl shape that cradles your cat with a self-warming fleece insert, you’ll have a hard time getting your cat up from their daily naps. One of the Nest's best features is that is portable - meaning you can easily provide your cat with a comfortable place to sleep, regardless of where they plan to catch some zzz's!

At Catster, we’ve admired Hepper for many years and decided to take a controlling ownership interest so that we could benefit from the outstanding designs of this cool cat company!


2. Square Wooden TV-Shape Cat Bed

How can you beat a vintage TV-style cat bed? Not only can your cat climb in to hide, but you can use the top for your own personal belongings. Well, if your cat doesn’t knock everything off, that is. It’s an elegant way to repurpose an item you aren’t using anymore, too.


3.  Pet Pal Tan Sherpa Bed

This teepee-style cat bed is cozy and warm for all your kitty’s napping needs. The teepee portion detaches if you want a more open concept. It even has a cute little sherpa dangling bell to keep your cat busy. The bedding portion is memory foam with a corduroy and sherpa cover, so they might even sleep in more comfort than you.


4. Cat Bed Macrame Cat Hammock

If you rock a boho style, these macrame cat hammocks might be just what you’re looking for. You can buy one of your personal choices from lots of sites on the web. But one super cool thing about macrame is that it is so easy to make yourself! Check out some online tutorials to see if it looks like a fun project.


5. Cat Window Perch

All kitties seem to love a spot where they can see the great outdoors. If you want to accommodate your cat, allowing them to get some rays and see the sights—this cat window perch might very well be a hit. After all, what’s better than napping and watching those pesky birds tease you from behind the glass?


6. Ceiling Complex for Cats

If you want a fancy, modern-looking wall climb for your cat so they can cozy up—this might be the ticket. It provides a spot that is out of the way and up off the floor. But the dome’s clearness lets the cats rest while being able to see what’s going on below.


7. Pet Hammock

If you would like a shabby yet chic modern look, you can buy one of these gorgeous macrame cat hammocks. This is a design idea that is just as beautiful as functional.  You can hang one of these close to a window of their choice. Or you can display it in practically any room.


8. Cat Furniture “Catfeine” Cup

Could you put together two things you love more? The cup itself is incredibly durable, being very well-sewn and incredibly soft. Plus, it’s deep enough that your cat can get in to hide, but there is no obstruction holding them out or in. This is an eye-catching, well-made selection for someone who is totally into kitties and caffeine.


9. Hanging Cat Bed

This hanging cat bed is a practical choice for the kitty who loves to perch. They can sit above the ground in an area all their own to check things out. There are four openings, so your cat isn’t enclosed. It gives them the freedom to come and go as they please.


10. Cat Cave Bed

These contemporary cat cave beds are super interesting. This modest, simplistic cylinder is a good pick for your little napper. It’s a rather open concept, so if your kitty likes to look around while relaxing, they’re able to. They have a sleek appearance, too. So it won’t be an eyesore in your living room.


11. Friends Cardboard Cat House

There is no argument that your cat is royalty. Why not give them a comfy throne for all their kitty needs? One really fabulous feature of this particular cat bed is that they can sleep both on top and inside of it. So, if you have a cat who prefers to be behind the scenes they can crawl into the enclosed portion. Or if you have a cat who loves to sunbathe, they can stretch out on the top.


12. Hanging Bridge

Cats want to climb to the highest point of practically anything. These hanging bridges look absolutely awesome—and your cat will have a blast during play or use it for snoozing. If you are skilled enough to create this hanging bridge, your cat is sure to love it.

You can put this bridge across doorways, suspend it on walls, or even attach one down low. It is an exciting look that would add character to your home.


13. Crocheted Couch Bed

If you’re skilled with a crochet hook, you might be able to make one of these bad boys for next to nothing. If you prefer your cat cozy up on their own sofa, this is a perfect choice. You can just get the design pattern, get out your favorite yarn and crochet hook, and begin this project immediately. Or you might be able to find crafters that hand-make and sell these adorable contraptions.


14. Cat Teepee + Extras

This neat, repurposed TV stand comes in a package deal. Not only will you get a sturdy, stained wooden A-frame cat bed, but you will also get a food and water dish to go with it. Your cat can have its own little corner of matching belongings.


15. Felt Cat Bed

It seems like these felt cat beds are all the rage these days. Cat lovers everywhere seem to give a big thumbs up to this style. The bed is soft enough for your cat to climb inside and snuggle up. Each is shaped in such a way that your cat can feel secure and out of sight. There are tons of color variations, and many of them are made by hand.


16. Castle Teepee Pet Bed

The warm, inviting design will allow your cat to nap like a prince or princess. The neutral colors will match with just about any decor that you already have. This would look extra cute in a bohemian-style environment. So, if you want to give your cat some mood lighting, this should be at the top of your list.


17. Cat Tree House

This cat bed setup would be a perfect addition for a screened-in porch or an open window space. The tree might be fake, but it gives the illusion of foliage within the house. Since kitties are notorious for climbing trees they should feel right at home.


18. Wood Rocking Cat Bed

This adorable little rocking cat bed doubles as a play place and nap spot. It has comfy cloth padding and a rock-a-bowl design, so your cats might have fun playing with the seesaw. The colors are vibrant and bright with strong stitching. Plus, could it get any cuter?


19. Pumpkin Cushion Pet Bed

If you have a little pumpkin that needs some cushion, this sweet cat bed is sure to be comfy for your kitty. The entire design is plush, and one entrance is at the front. It’s large enough to accommodate two cats, depending on how big they are. So, it may work for your multiples, too.


20. Cat Condo

Here’s another repurposed dresser for the win! This one even has a hiding spot to put the litter box. If you were like many other cat owners, you might have a real dilemma on how to keep the litter box out of sight. After all, no one wants to smell a litter box close to the kitchen while they’re eating dinner. This is a way to take care of the problem while offering a visually attractive setup.
