What K&H says about it

“Works as insulation to capture heat.” K&H on the first layer under the fleece.

“Reflects the heat back to your pet.” K&H on the second — the reflective layer.

“Warming bed you can take anywhere!” Their line for it, listing a cat perch, the couch, a bed, the car, a plane, a hotel, the garage, a cat house and the barn.

“Unique materials — to help trap heat and ensure a nice warm, cozy place for napping.”

No cord

Nothing to plug in, nothing to chew, nothing to charge and nothing electrical left on while you are out.

Their own warmth

A reflective layer sends the heat your pet gives off back up toward them.

Reversible

Gray fleece on one side, black fleece on the other.

Machine washable

Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent.

K&H’s cut-away of the pad: gray fleece on top, then an insulating layer, a reflective layer, and black fleece underneath

How it works

Four layers, and no wires

Your pet is the heat source. The pad keeps that warmth where they are instead of letting it sink into a cold floor.

  1. Gray fleeceThe soft side most pets start on.
  2. Insulating layerK&H: “Works as insulation to capture heat.”
  3. Reflective layerK&H: “Reflects the heat back to your pet.”
  4. Black fleeceThe other side. Flip it and it is still a fleece bed.

Reversible

Two beds in one

Both faces are fleece. Turn it over and it is still a warm, soft bed just a different colour.

Gray fleeceThe side in most of the photographs, with a raised border round a softer centre.
Black fleeceThe other side. Flip it for a change, or when the gray side is due a wash.

Take it anywhere

Warm wherever they settle

No cord means no socket to be near. It goes where your pet already likes to sleep — and comes with you when you travel.

The feel of it

Fleece on both faces

A polyester fleece cover, top and bottom, over a polyester fibre fill. About an inch thick and just over ten ounces, so it stays where you put it without being a slab.

Easy care

Straight in the machine

A bed a pet sleeps on every day needs washing. This one goes in the machine, on its own.

  1. Machine wash separately.
  2. Cold water, gentle cycle.
  3. Mild detergent. No bleach.
  4. Air or line dry, or tumble dry on the lowest setting.

Self-warming, not heated

What it does, and what it doesn’t

Worth knowing before you choose between this and a pad with a plug.

It does

  • Returns the warmth your pet gives off, instead of letting a cold floor take it.
  • Works anywhere no socket, no cord, no battery.
  • Leaves nothing electrical switched on while you are out.
  • Goes through the washing machine whole.

It doesn’t

  • It does not make heat of its own it is not a heated pad.
  • It does not warm a cold room, or a pet who is not lying on it.
  • It does not keep out water. Outdoors, use it inside a shelter.

She has not left it since it came out of the box

Put it on the end of the sofa to see what would happen. Twenty minutes later she was asleep on it and that is now her spot. It is warm when she gets up you can feel it on your hand and there is nothing to plug in.

Inside the cat shelter on the porch

We feed two strays and built them a little insulated box. Put one of these in the bottom last winter and bought a second this year. They use it every night. No cord to run out of the house, which was the whole point.

Warm, but not a heating pad

It works the way it says — it holds the heat they give off. It does not get hot by itself, so do not expect a heated bed. My older cat, who used to hunt for the one sunny patch, now just goes to this. Four stars because I expected it to be a bit thicker.

Fits the bottom of my Cavalier’s crate

He is about fifteen pounds and it is just the right size for his crate. He used to drag a towel in there. Now he goes straight in at night and curls up on it.

Survived three washes and still looks the same

Cold, gentle, air dry, as it says. The fleece came out soft and it did not lose its shape or go lumpy. With two cats and one of them a shedder, washing it is not optional.

Good for one cat, a squeeze for two

At 21 by 17 it is perfect for one cat stretched out. My two try to share it and one always ends up half off. Buy two if you have two.

Comes in the car with us every trip

It is light and folds into the carrier. Having something that smells like home and stays warm has made the drives to my mum’s much calmer. No batteries to forget.

The window perch is finally used

We have a perch on the bedroom window that nobody would sit on in winter because the glass is cold. Put this on it and the cat is up there every afternoon.

Nice fleece, subtle warmth

My cat likes it, but the warming is gentler than I expected — it is really the fleece and the layer underneath keeping her own heat in. If your house is very cold you will want something more. For a cool room it is fine.

Our small terrier claimed it immediately

Bought it for the cat. The dog took it. Bought a second. Both are happy and both pads have been through the wash several times.

Great in the garage, keep it off the wet floor

Our barn cat sleeps on it in the garage. It is not waterproof, so I put it on a low shelf rather than the concrete. On the shelf it has been perfect.

Reversible is more useful than it sounds

When one side needs a wash and I do not have time, I flip it. Gray side most of the year, black side when the white cat is not using it.

Questions

Before you order

Does it need to be plugged in?

No. There is no cord, no battery and no heating element anywhere in it. A reflective layer under the fleece turns your pet’s own body heat back toward them, so the pad warms up when they lie on it.

How warm does it get?

It returns the warmth your pet gives off rather than making any of its own, so there is no hot spot and no setting to get wrong. That also means it is a comfort layer, not a heater — it will not warm a cold room.

Can I use it for an outdoor or feral cat?

Inside a shelter, yes — a cat house, a garage or a barn, out of the wind and the wet. The listing recommends it for indoor use and does not describe it as waterproof, so keep it under cover. In freezing weather it works as the warm layer inside a shelter, not as a source of heat.

Which side goes up?

Either. It is reversible: gray fleece on one side, black fleece on the other. Many cats pick a side and stick to it.

Will it fit my crate or carrier?

It measures 21 × 17 inches and is about an inch thick. Measure the floor of your crate — if it is at least that size, the pad lies flat.

Is it for dogs too?

Yes — cats and small dogs, up to 20 lb.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash it on its own, in cold water on a gentle cycle, with a mild detergent and no bleach. Air or line dry it, or tumble dry on the lowest setting.

What is it made of?

A polyester fleece cover on both sides, a polyester fibre fill, and the insulating and reflective layers between them.

Is there a warranty?

Yes — a one-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
