The bed is large enough that humans and animals can nap together, or alone with extra pillows. The Plufl was created by Noah and Yuki, two entrepreneurs who met at the University of [British](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-supp-co) Columbia in Vancouver. The two entrepreneurs thought up the idea of the Plufl while on a search for the perfect napping conditions. Aside from simply being a large dog bed, the Plufl boasts a layered, orthopedic memory foam base designed specifically for humans. In addition to this, the bed is made out of ethically-sourced, high-quality materials that result in the bed delivering a premium, [anxiety-reducing napping experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugimals-antianxiety-plushie). The bed is engineered to be as comfortable as possible through the use of a natural cotton pillow bolster and a coating of faux leather. Napping on the Plufl reduces stress, improves mood, and leaves you feeling refreshed for the rest of the day. The Plufl will have an MSRP of $499 USD, but customers are able to pre-order a pull now for $349 USD on the item's Kickstarter page.
