The Spotted Devil Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Can anyone remember the name of the company that makes these please? I recall them looking gorgeous and having washable covers (!!!) but thinking postage was a bit prohibitive. However I'm planning a road trip so thought it might be a nice opportunity to get one for Zig! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I just got some really nice beds from a market. They are made by a furniture manufacturer. I got soft fill but they also do foam. or soft fill and foam. They have a zip. The top is water resistant. And they cost $50! I got 2 so got a discount. The foam one is $70 for large. http://furnituremakers.net.au/ Bit of a dodgy photo but here is Amber modelling hers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks! I wish I could think of this other company. Tried googling but just got lots of chain pet stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 The other thing I recall is they reckoned dog hair wouldn't stick to them....which means it will be on my floors instead but you can't have everything :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i made a few covers myself too to swap around. And i use the beds myself when i sit on the floor to brush the dogs They are in most states now and so far have lasted a good few years no loss of comfiness of thickness. Touch wood!

Cleo's Corgwyn Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Mine luuurve their Pod - I frequently find multiple dogs and cats curled up together on it. This is Inari the Cardi and Fintan the Siamese on their pod; If you pass through Canberra, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Ha ha! Lovely pair CC It would be nice to catch up - will probably only be in Canberra for one night/day depending on how my travels are going but will see what we can do!

fbaudry Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I saw the pods at a couple of events (APDT conference, pet expo etc) but lucky for my wallet, there were no covers I really liked! For those of you who have them, how do they fare with regular use? Do they stay fluffy and supportive or do they tend to go flat? I've been eyeing the Henry Hottie ones too. I'd have to use them as inserts in my two's old Kramar beds. My guys seem to like soft beds with sides to curl up against or rest their heads on. Speaking of which, I think I remember seeing a picture of Ziggy in one such bed with high walls; would that be right TSD? And if so, would you remember the brand?

The Spotted Devil Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I will take a pic and see if I can find a brand name tomorrow of Zig's bed....yes, high sides indeed but I cannot get the hair off it even with a new vacuum. He does like it though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I think I remember seeing a picture of Ziggy in one such bed with high walls; would that be right TSD? And if so, would you remember the brand? I love some of them, i saw them at the ADAA grand prix last year, but i too was worried about them going flat. I dont have one, but did see a picture of a friends one on facebook that was looking a bit flattened and worse for wear. Though in its defence i dont know how old it could be. The fluffiness appeals to me, and i imagine my cats would LOVE it! Re the Henry Hotties, they are currently trialling one with sides! I have also been waiting for one. And have also used one in an old bed i had. But also found they didnt really care as much as i thought they did and would still go for the HH Its the only bed Henry will choose over the couch or my bed, so they must be ok. My fuzzyard beds, though i love the patterns they come in, and the fluffy donut shapes- really dont last at all! Within a few months the dogs are pretty much lying on the floor. And no clue of the brand, but I have another bed i love. It was cheap and has lasted so well! Wish i knew what it was :laugh: A friend has a bed for her big mutt, will ask the brand, also has lovely high walls :) Edited September 13, 2015 by denali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbaudry Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thank you Ladies! Denali, that's quite a seal of approval from your guys for the HH! I think Pet O are now stocking them in NSW, might go and have a look. Their cat size seems large enough for my guys (cocker and terrier mix). And who knows, the cat might like it too! I like the idea of high walls to make it cosy (and I know my terrier is quite partial to them), and also to give them a bit more protection in my cool and drafty little house. My Kramar beds (our downstairs day beds ) are still going strong after 10 years, with the help of an extra mat and fleece blanket to make them more comfy. For upstairs, I stupidly splashed out on Dog Gone Smart donut beds. The mat in them is as flat as a pancake, and the covers are really a pain to remove and put back on. They do the trick with plenty of extra padding, but were a bit of a dissapointnent. I like the look of the Fuzzyard ones, but as you said, I've seen them pretty flat soon (and not the easiest to wash either I believe). I think Snooza might be the brand I should look at for high walls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
