Since cats sleep for up to twenty hours every day, they’re still on the lookout for a quiet place to snuggle up.
Cat beds may be made at home for your pet to offer her a place to relax. A new kitten or older cat bed might assist you in getting a decent night’s sleep if your cat picks you up frequently.
Cat owners are often looking for ways to make their cats’ lives a little easier. Cat furniture purchased at a store might be pricey, though. Why not make your custom cat bed at home rather than rushing to the local pet retailer?
You can create your cat bed in a variety of inventive, cost-effective, and fun ways:
Sweater Bed for Kitty Cats
Sweater-wrapping a cushion
When it comes to cozy sweaters, who doesn’t like the sensation of one?
Bonus: Assembling this cat bed takes five minutes.

What You’ll Be Using
- Sweater of an ancient, huge size (the cozier, the more promising, such as fleece or viscous cotton)
- Large, squishy pillows for the bed (something she can plunge into)
Procedure to make it
- Lie the sweater front-side down on the ground.
- Make a pillowcase out of a sweater by stuffing a pillow into it.
- Make sure your sleeves are tucked into your sweater so that they rest flat on the cushion that’s located inside of it.
This bed is simple to transport because it is lightweight.
Cat Bed with a Spy Bench
By nature, cats are curious creatures, and hiding near a door helps them to keep tabs on their owners. This bed provides her with all the seclusion she craves.
What You’ll Be Using
- A seat with compartments for storing your things.
- Bath towel that is thick and fluffy.
Procedure
- Empty a cubby big enough to fit your cat’s needs.
- Place the folded towel in the cubby.
- Using a towel instead of a cushion or mat will allow your cat to paw it while she settles in. She’ll like the sense of seclusion this bed provides!
Cardboard Bed
Cats enjoy a nice cardboard box, and those boxes make excellent DIY cat beds. Pets adore cardboard boxes. It’s up to you how you want to decorate this edition!

What You’ll Be Using
- Cardboard box with a cover that’s sturdy (a banker’s box or paper box works well).
- Take a bit of a fleece blanket.
- To wrap a gift, you’ll need some wrapping paper (you also can use fabric or self-sticking contact paper).
- Tape and adhesive for paper and fabric: organza tape for wrapping
- A box cutter is required.
Procedure
- Make a slit in the broad corner of the box, then use the box cutter to facilitate opening. Do not wholly obliterate one side of the container. Ensure an adequate area around the box’s perimeter to keep it sturdy.
- Just like you would for a present, adorn the carton and lid it with a variety of bright, eye-catching wrapping paper.
- Make sure the cat has enough area to roam by placing the wool on the bottom of a box.
- If you want to give your cat extra privacy, place a box on top of the layer or place the lid on top of the box.
If you’d want to match your paper to the rest of your decor, you may do it with ease.
You can offer your cat a secure, cozy, and pleasant place to make her sleep with easy DIY cat beds like these. A cat only needs a comfortable spot to rest and an area to monitor the situation.
Tips and Tricks
In the beginning, you may want to try giving your cat goodies near the bed or putting treats inside.
Your new bed may not work for your cat because they already have a favorite spot to sleep. It’s okay if they take a little time to get acclimated to their new bed.
