Somewhere to disappear
An enclosed tunnel is what a cat is looking for when they spend the afternoon trying to get inside a cardboard box. This is the same instinct, in something that is not a cardboard box.
And somewhere to sleep on top
The felt exterior works as a bed in its own right, so the same object covers both halves of a cat's day — hiding, and lying in the open being admired.
Unzips into two halves
Which is the difference between cleaning it and meaning to. Spot clean each half rather than wrestling one big awkward donut into a machine.
Half the day hiding, half of it wanting somewhere soft
Those look like two different needs and most people buy two things for them — a bed, and then whatever box or gap under the sideboard the cat has decided is the hiding place. A donut tunnel does both at once: inside for disappearing, on top for sleeping where they can be seen.
Placement decides whether it gets used. Cats want a hideaway tucked out of the way, not in the middle of a busy room — put it in a quiet corner away from foot traffic and the odds go up considerably. The felt also stands up to light scratching and kneading, which is usually the first thing they do to it.

Two sizes, by weight
| Size | Dimensions | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 50 cm | 50 × 50 × 20 cm | Cats up to 4 kg |
| 60 cm | 60 × 60 × 28 cm | Cats 4–8 kg, or two cats |
Spot clean each half rather than machine washing, to keep the felt holding its donut shape. It arrives folded to keep the parcel compact, so expect some creasing — it settles out with use, or a gentle iron sorts it straight away.
Advanced FAQ
Which size should I get?
The 50cm suits cats up to 4kg. If your cat is heavier, you have multiple cats who might want to use it together, or you just want extra room, go for the 60cm (rated up to 4-8kg).
Is it machine washable?
The bed unzips into two separate cushion halves, which makes spot cleaning each piece much easier than a full machine wash — we'd recommend spot cleaning to preserve the felt structure and shape.
Will my cat actually use it?
Cats are individuals, but the enclosed tunnel shape taps into a strong natural instinct for hiding spots, which makes this style of bed generally well-received. Placing it somewhere quiet rather than a busy room improves the odds.
What's the difference between the round hole and cat head entrance styles?
Purely aesthetic — both offer the same size opening and function, just a different look for the entrance.
Does it arrive with creases from packaging?
It's shipped folded to keep the parcel compact, so it may have some creases on arrival. These smooth out with use, or can be gently ironed flat if you'd like it looking neat straight away.
Can it hold its shape over time?
The felt construction is designed to hold its donut shape, though like any felt product it may need occasional reshaping after storage or heavy use.
