Highlighted Reviews

— Launia

"I love Armarkat products. They are great high quality items and this bed is an example of it. I like that it is removable and makes for easy cleaning. I have a cat that likes to burrow and when I found this bed I thought it would be perfect for her. Funnily enough, she doesn't use it "correctly"."

— AMY

"It kept collapsing upon itself. Would have been a great pretty bed if it didn’t feel like it was always falling on her."

Bottom Line

Overall, it's a good product but consider fixes for the collapsing issue.
