The enclosed, supported sleep cats instinctively seek — sized perfectly for them.
Cats that curl up tightly to sleep are seeking the enclosed, den-like feeling that signals safety and calm. The NestCalm™ Donut Cat Bed is built around that instinct — a 7-inch raised bolster rim that circles the entire sleeping area, giving your cat a head rest on any side and a sense of enclosure that promotes deeper, more settled sleep. High-loft polyester fill. Non-slip rubber-dot base. Machine washable. Sized for cats up to approximately 20 lbs and toy-breed dogs.
Why Cat Parents Choose NestCalm™
🤭 7-Inch Raised Bolster Rim — Full Enclosure
The 7-inch bolster rim provides a substantial head rest on every side of the bed, creating the enclosed sleeping environment that cats naturally gravitate toward. Particularly effective for anxious cats, cats that startle easily, or those that struggle to settle in open sleeping spaces.
🧸 High-Loft Polyester Fill — Soft & Supportive
High-loft polyester fill provides a soft, yielding surface that contours gently to your cat’s body weight. Supportive enough for comfortable sleep without the firmness that can cause pressure points — and the fill retains its loft across repeated machine washes.
🚫 Non-Slip Rubber-Dot Base
Rubber dots on the base grip hard floor surfaces, preventing the bed from sliding when your cat jumps in, kneads, or shifts position during sleep.
🧹 Machine Washable
Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low or air dry. The plush surface maintains its texture and the fill retains its loft with proper care. Clean it as often as needed.
🐶 Suitable for Toy-Breed Dogs Too
The 23-inch diameter accommodates cats up to approximately 20 lbs and toy breeds including Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Maltese, and Shih Tzus — any small pet that curls up to sleep.
Helping Your Cat Settle in the NestCalm™
Most cats take to a donut bed quickly, especially those that already seek enclosed spaces. A few tips to encourage adoption:
- Place the bed in a quiet corner or against a wall — the additional enclosure amplifies the den effect.
- Add a worn item of your clothing to the bed initially — your scent is calming and encourages investigation.
- Sprinkle a small amount of catnip on the bolster rim to attract initial interest.
- Reward your cat with treats and praise when they step into or lie in the bed.
- Keep the bed in a consistent location — cats build positive associations with familiar spots.
Tip: For cats that knead before sleeping, the plush bolster rim is an ideal kneading surface. Most cats that knead will adopt the bed quickly once they discover the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat actually use it?
Most cats that curl up to sleep adopt a donut bed readily, especially when placed in a quiet corner with familiar scents. Cats that prefer open flat surfaces may take longer to adjust. See the settling guide above for tips on encouraging adoption.
Is it suitable for kittens?
Yes. The enclosed bolster rim is particularly calming for young kittens adjusting to a new home. The soft fill is gentle on small bodies and the non-slip base keeps the bed stable when kittens jump in and out.
Does the fill stay lofty after washing?
Yes, with proper care. Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low — or air dry and fluff by hand once dry. Avoid high heat, which can compress the polyester fill. A gentle shake after drying helps restore loft.
Can I use it for my small dog?
Yes. The 23-inch diameter suits toy breeds that curl up — Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Maltese, and Shih Tzus. For slightly larger small breeds (e.g. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Miniature Dachshunds), check the diameter against your dog’s curled-up size before ordering.
