It’s also sold in a larger size, which is great for big cats or a bonded pair who love to nap together. Why we love it: We picked the Best Friends by Sheri OrthoComfort Deep Dish Cuddler because it’s incredibly cozy and supportive and it’s easy to wash. It will hold a cat weighing up to 19 pounds.
This bed is 17 inches in diameter and 16 inches high with entrances that are 6 inches and 10 inches in diameter. Though most of the beds we researched are made of synthetic fibers, The Cat Ball is made of cotton, so it’s less likely to irritate a cat’s sensitive nose. The Cat Ball is made of 100% cotton, and is easier to wash than the competition: The others had to be hand-washed or required multiple spin cycles to remove excess water. It has a foam skeleton, so it’s more comfortable than another spherical-style cave bed we tested, the Meowfia Premium Cat Bed Cave, which has no additional padding. If you’re unsure what type of bed your cat will like, The Cat Ball is a safe bet for its enclosed shape, which offers security, and its large base, which is ideal for stretching or for larger cats to curl. Why we love it: One of 13 cave-style beds we researched and one of the three we tested, The Cat Ball won out for its large size, quality of construction, washable bedding, use of natural materials, and stellar third-party reviews.
