Custom Cat Beds

From LoveToKnow Cats

Custom cat beds aren't always luxury items, although they certainly can be. Certain types of bedding are simply more appropriate for cats with special needs. If you can't buy what you need, have it custom created for you.

About Custom Cat Beds

Custom bedding for your cat runs the design gamut, so the bed you'll eventually select is dependant on your cat's specific needs.

Personalized Bedding

So, you have a very special cat, and you want to give her a bed that is befitting her status in the family. A personalized cat bed monogrammed with your pet's name might be just the ticket. Many companies offer this option when purchasing a custom bed from them. Styles can range from simple cuddlers to pieces of custom furniture.

Customized Décor

Are you looking for bedding that compliments the crisp blueness of your cat's eyes? Maybe you need just the right bed to fit a certain space. Whatever it is you're looking for in pet bedding, there are a number of companies willing to create custom cat beds made to your specification.

The first step in the process is to identify your needs. If you want a bed that fits your cat's size perfectly, take some measurements of your cat's width and length. Be sure to take into consideration if your cat is the type that prefers to curl up or stretch out because this will affect the comfort level of the final design. If you're hoping to fill a very specific space in your home, you'll need to measure the space to determine the best dimensions for the finished bed.

Once you have a basic size in mind, consider which geometric shape will best serve your needs. For example, if you're trying to create a custom windowsill bed, a rectangular bed is probably best suited to the space. If you want a cat bed that tucks nicely into a secluded corner of a room, a triangular bed could be a good choice.

Depending on where you plan to place the bed, you may need to cut out drafts with higher sides on the bed. In warmer situations, an open bed might be the right choice.

Materials can also be a concern, especially if you're trying to match your cat bed with the rest of your décor. You can opt for a cushion bed in a compatible pattern or color, or you might prefer a wood frame bed with a matching cushion. As long as you have a custom designer willing to work with your vision, the sky is the limit.

Special Needs Designs

While most of the pet bedding you'll find at your local pet supply is quite serviceable, some cats have special needs due to health and mobility issues. If your cat suffers from joint problems, custom pet beds with thick orthopedic mattresses are usually your best comfort option. You might also prefer a bed with lower sides to make it easier for your cat to crawl in and out. Heat and/or massage features are other options you may consider in order to create a custom design suitable for your pet. Hairless cat breeds will find heated beds especially useful.
