Machine-washable cat beds make it easy to keep your cat's favorite resting spot fresh, clean, and cozy. Designed to handle everyday messes like fur, dander, or the occasional spill, these beds feature fully washable construction so pet parents can maintain good hygiene without hassle. Look for soft fabrics, supportive cushioning, and nap-friendly shapes to ensure your cat stays comfortable while you enjoy stress-free cleanup. Here are some features to look for in machine-washable cat beds:
Design that fits your cleaning routine: Choose from beds you can throw directly in the washer or ones with removable, machine-washable covers.
Soft, cozy fabrics: Plush, fleece, or faux fur textures offer warmth and comfort for your kitty.
Durable construction: Look for reinforced seams and materials that can withstand frequent washing and use.
Filling type: Quick-drying and shape-retaining materials help keep the bed comfortable after a trip through the washer.
Cat-approved shapes: Pick from cave beds, doughnut beds, flat mats, and bolstered designs to suit your furry friend's preferences.
Whether you're managing a heavy shedder or just want an easier cleaning routine, machine-washable cat beds combine comfort and practicality for everyday use. Chewy's selection of washable beds includes plush loungers, covered beds, doughnut-style nests, mat-style pads, and more to suit every feline preference!
Not all washable cat beds are fully machine-washable. Some beds can go entirely into the wash, while others include removable washable covers with non-washable inserts. Note that if you choose a memory foam bed, it usually cannot be machine-washed, but it should have a washable cover. Check the product label for care, or use the product filters on our site to find a bed that fits your cat's preferences and your preferred cleaning routine.
You should wash it every week or two, or more often depending on your cat's habits and your family's needs. If your cat spends lots of time in the bed or tracks in debris, more frequent washing can help maintain cleanliness and comfort. You may also want to wash your cat's bed more regularly if allergies are a concern.
Some machine-washable beds may lose softness over time, but you can find high-quality beds made to stay soft and comfy through lots of washing and use. Look for fur-friendly yet durable fabrics, resilient filling, and strong seams to help preserve the bed's shape, surface comfort, and longevity.
