Playful Muffin-Inspired Cat Beds

Pets & Pods Designs a Bed for Small- and Medium-Sized Cats

— April 10, 2022 — Art & Design
Design-forward pet brand Pets & Pods has made an interestingly shaped cat bed available to consumers. Inspired by the silhouette of a muffin, the 'Muffin Pet Bed' combines "a solid and functional design" with "innovative materials, modern engineering, and traditional craftsmanship."

The product is designed and made in the United Kingdom and can be shipped flat-packed. There are two uses for Pets & Pods' modern Muffin Pet Bed. There is the main resting area, which is enclosed, to ensure privacy and calm. There is also a raised platform at the top of the Muffin Pet Bed that is lined with natural wool felt from Yorkshire. This affords another resting space and occasional snoozing zone for furry companions.

Pets & Pods' Muffin Pet Bed is available with short and long legs.
