A bed and a cave, depending on the mood.
The hood folds back, which means one bed covers two moods. Covered when the animal wants to be out of sight, open when it wants to sprawl and watch the room.

Why you'll love it
Cats and small dogs sleep more soundly with their back against something. A hood removes the need to keep one eye on the room.
Long pile plush traps body heat, which matters most for short coated breeds, kittens and older pets who feel a cold room first.
The whole bed goes in the machine, and the pile shakes back up rather than matting flat after the first wash.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
Cats and small dogs generally want one of two things from a sleeping spot. Either full cover with a single entrance, so nothing can approach unseen, or an open position with a good view of the room and its doorways. Most animals want both at different times, depending on how settled the household is.
A folding hood covers that without buying two beds. Left up it is a den; folded back it is an open bolster bed with a raised rim. In practice most owners find the animal favours one mode and occasionally switches, and being able to change it costs nothing.
A raised edge is not decoration. Animals that sleep curled tuck against something, and having a rim to rest a chin or a spine on is what makes a bed comfortable rather than simply soft. It also stops a curled animal rolling off the edge, which is why curlers often ignore a flat mattress entirely.
The corollary is that a dog that sleeps flat out gets nothing from it. A sprawler needs the full nose to tail length in usable surface, and a bolster just reduces the space it can actually use. Watch how your animal sleeps before buying, since that single observation decides which shape is right.
Fibre filling is soft and light and it compresses over time under weight. For a cat or a small dog that is a slow process and the bed stays comfortable for a long while. Under a heavy dog it flattens within months, and a bed that has bottomed out gives no support at all, which is worse than the floor for stiff joints.
Test it by pressing hard with a flat hand. If it springs back the bed is still working; if it stays compressed the filling is spent. For an older or larger dog, solid foam holds its shape far longer and is the sensible choice from the start. Wash the whole bed monthly on a cool cycle and dry it thoroughly, since deep pile holds moisture in the middle.

The details
| Size | Diameter | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 40 cm | Kittens, small cats, toy breeds |
| Medium | 50 cm | Most adult cats and small dogs |
| Large | 65 cm | Large cats and medium dogs up to about 12 kg |
Measure your animal curled up rather than stretched out, then add about 15 cm. A bed that fits exactly is one the animal cannot settle into, since curlers want room to turn before they lie down.
Loved by real pet parents
She had ignored every open basket in the house and slept on a pile of laundry instead. Hooded up, this one was occupied within the hour, and when the room is warm she pushes the hood back herself and sprawls with her chin on the rim. The 50 cm is right for a cat who likes to stretch.
Ordered the 40 cm for a small terrier and she fits curled but cannot lie out flat, so size up if your dog sleeps stretched. The plush is deep and she burrows into it every night. Washed once already and the pile came back up rather than staying matted.
Our old bed used to end up halfway across the hall by morning because he digs at it before he lies down. This one has not moved off the spot once, the underside grips the boards properly. The raised rim gives him somewhere to hang his head over, which is his favourite position.
Short coated dog in a cold house, and he used to sit in front of the radiator all evening. The long pile holds his own heat in and he now settles in the bed instead with the hood up. Ours is the 65 cm and it fills a corner of the front room nicely.
The plush is lovely and both cats use it, so I am not unhappy overall. After the first wash the pile was matted flat and it needed a second run and a lot of shaking before it looked anything like it did new. It is fine now, but I was worried for a day.
It has honestly been two different beds across the year, which I did not expect from one folding flap. She sleeps buried in the cave when it is cold and on top of the folded hood when it is not. Goes through the machine without losing its shape.
We were forever pulling her out from under the furniture and a covered bed has given her somewhere she considers safe. The 40 cm is plenty for a kitten and she has not outgrown it yet. The pile is deep enough that she disappears into it completely.
There was a fine layer of plush on the floor around it for the first few days, which I was not expecting, though it stopped after that. He loves it, hood up, and has not tried to dig through the base. The rim is firm enough that it has not collapsed under him.
Bought the biggest size hoping they would share and they actually do, one inside the hood and one draped over the rim. The filling has stayed lofted rather than compacting into a pancake where they sleep. The whole bed goes in the machine, which is the only reason it is still allowed in the living room.
Good questions
Measure your pet curled up and add roughly 10cm. Most cats suit the 50cm; the 40cm is kitten sized and the 65cm suits a small dog.
It compresses in transit and needs a shake and a few hours to loft back up. After that it recovers well from washing.
Measure the animal curled asleep and add roughly 15 cm to the diameter. Sizing to the exact curled measurement gives no room to turn, which most animals want before settling.
The fibre filling compresses over time, quickly under a heavy dog and slowly under a cat. Press it firmly with a flat hand: if it does not spring back, it has stopped supporting the animal.
Yes, cool machine wash and dry thoroughly. Deep pile holds water in the middle, so give it longer to dry than it looks like it needs before putting it back.

Advice
Watch how your dog sleeps before you buy. Sprawlers and curlers need opposite beds, and buying the wrong one is why it sits unused.
