Most of the day, asleep
Cats sleep for the larger part of the day, and not just anywhere: they want something at their back, a little warmth, and the room in view. A good bed gives all three at once.

A hand-woven basket in cat-tail grass with two braided handles, and a 100% cotton cushion that lifts straight out to be washed.
Three diameters — 35, 40 and 46 cm — each a little deeper than the last. Woven by hand, so no two are quite identical.

Panarea is a woven basket with a separate cotton cushion. The shell is hand-made from cat-tail grass — a straw-like vine — with two braided handles on the rim, and the cushion sits loose inside it.
A plush bed holds heat; a woven one lets air through the sides. That makes this the bed a cat chooses in summer, and it is why the material matters more than it looks: straw stays cool where fabric does not.
It is 100% cotton and washable, and it is the only part that needs washing. The basket itself is wiped, not laundered. That separation is the whole practical case for this design — the hair and the dust stay on the part you can put in a machine.
They are woven into the rim rather than attached, so the basket can be picked up with a sleeping cat still in it and moved to where the sun has gone. Small thing, used constantly.
Judge it on the cat: 35 cm for a cat that curls tight, 46 cm for one that sleeps sprawled or for a household where two cats share. The walls also rise with the size, from 13 cm to 15 cm.
And colour that varies from one basket to the next. It also warns that the baskets are compressed in transit and may arrive slightly out of shape. Clean it before first use. If you want two identical baskets, this is not the product.

Cats sleep for the larger part of the day, and not just anywhere: they want something at their back, a little warmth, and the room in view. A good bed gives all three at once.
Somewhere warm and slightly raised, out of draughts and out of the main walkway — cats settle where they feel both hidden and in charge of the room.
Because your cat deserves better than the first listing that comes up — and so does your home.

Goes well with it
Put the bed on the spot the cat has already chosen instead of the spot you had in mind, and leave something in it that smells of the household — a worn t-shirt works better than anything sold for the purpose. Raised rims and enclosed shapes are usually taken up faster than flat mats, because a cat wants something at its back.
It depends on how your cat already sleeps, and you know the answer without asking: a cat that curls up in cupboards and under beds wants an enclosed one, while a cat that sprawls in the middle of the floor will ignore a cave and use an open bed. In a household with two cats, one of each is a safer bet than two of the same.
Wash it before it needs it rather than after — every few weeks, and always at the end of a moult. What this particular bed allows is set out under Care & assembly, since some wash whole and others have a cover that lifts off. An afternoon airing in the sun does more than any spray.
Cats accept new things on their own timetable. Put it where your cat already chooses to be — the sunny corner, the room the household uses most — and leave it alone for a few days rather than presenting it. A little catnip helps on anything meant to be slept on or scratched. Anything worn or handled should be left out to be sniffed and walked away from several times before you use it.
You have 30 days from delivery to send it back. Returns are free and the refund goes to the payment method you used. You do not need to give a reason.
