While it is not difficult to find a mattress for dogs, or a cover, that has been made with upcycled materials, Molly Mutt is introducing the 'e-crib' to help pet owners repurpose outgrown infant mattresses.
As its name suggests, this product for dogs is designed to fit over most standard baby crib mattresses, making it possible for a product that has a limited lifespan to be effectively reused by another member of the household. The washable cotton crib-e cover can be zipped open on both sides for ease of removal and cleaning.
The versatile crib mattress-sized dog bed covers are offered in a range of styles, including 'romeo & juliet,' the plaid 'northwestern girls' and 'lion's roar.'
