They are often called loungers and mimic the basic silhouette of a sofa we all sit (or lie) on as humans. Perhaps that’s the appeal. But we don’t have to leave them just for dogs - cats can have them too. Self-warming cat beds work by taking advantage of the natural heat already produced by your cat’s body.

We love that it’s made from lightweight and breathable materials, and that it’s machine washable. This product is also ETL-certified, which means it’s been thoroughly tested and is compliant with North American safety standards.But, many don’t, and they prefer the mat or pad style of bed that they can simply lie on top of and doze.

Last, but by no means least, we have a donut-style calming bed that does without a Mylar layer but claims self-heating properties from its mix of materials. For cooling, the Smartduvet raises air circulation under the duvet. The company says it creates a cooling effect using just room temperature air. The self-heating in this bed comes from the mix of materials (but no space blanket layer) and the cover and together they are very effective at keeping your cat warm.The material of the blanket is polyester and foam that makes the blanket very comfortable. As it does not have additional wires that an electric blanket must-have, this blanket is even cozier. This non-electric warming blanket comes in one size, 36″ x 60″. Also, it is lightweight and weighs merely 1.35 pounds.

You can buy this self-heated cat bed with or without an additional blanket. WEe felt that this was not needed but if you like the matching look then it might be worth it since this is made of the same plush fabric.
