10 Reviews: Best Cat Beds for Older Cats (Apr 2024)

Being old doesn’t mean a cat can’t have adorable beds, does it? This pumpkin-shaped tent comes in four cute colors: blue, gray, pink, and dark tan. It features a removable cushion equipped with foam for enhanced orthopedic luxury and warmth. Your cat won’t feel old.

Our old cat loves this. In fact he loves it so much he demanded we buy another one for upstairs. So as not to incur the wrath of Maximus, we ordered another. Hopefully he will not demand a third, but if he does, I suppose we will give in to his demands.

Don’t just choose a comfortable mattress for your cat, but also for you, one of which is easy to clean. This donut cat bed is totally machine washable. Just toss it to the washer and it will come out like new again and hold up well. This bed is designed for cats who love to curl up, with the surrounding rises as a pillow.

My cat is 19 years old. He insists on being in our cold garage. We've offered him up a number of beds to keep him warm and this is the only one he has taken to. It's very well made and a good value. It's incredibly soft and warm.

Best Friends by Sheri comes with a round bed that is soft to the touch, making this an ideal bed for lounging cats. It has two sizes; standard if your cat is small to medium, and jumbo if you have a large cat. The rising wall can work as a head or neck support and is easy to clean. The warmth provided by this bed is exceptional. Your old kitty will love it!

As we know cats a picky. But my cats love. I have 2 cats that are getting old and they seems to love the warmth of the bed.

This bed is made with versatility in mind. It is detachable and reversible, perfect for year-round use in all weather conditions. The material is composed of Oxford fabric which makes the surface soft, perfect for aging cats needing joint support to comfortably rest. What’s more, this sleeping cushion is completely machine washable!

In almost 20 years our cat has refused to use any type of pet bed, but tried one more attempt as she’s old & beginning to experience some discomfort. Within 5 minutes of putting it on the floor she was curled up in it & now it’s the only place she’ll sleep. This is our 2nd one we’ve bought within a few weeks so she’ll have one on each floor.

Like other elderly people, senior cats are usually not very demanding. They just need a decent bed to sleep in peace. That’s why AmazonBasics comes with a totally simple mat but works great. You can put it anywhere: crates, kennels, carriers, and other sleeping areas. Moreover, it has a loop to secure the bed to the crate. Simple but perfect, right?

My two, eight year old cats prefer this bed to anything else. I should have bought it a very long time ago.

The mini cave with a unique design is made with Merino Wool which naturally repels odor, dirt, and stains. That value alone has lightened a lot of your burdens. It can be used in two different styles; a padded mat on a hot day when the cat needs fresh air, and a cat cave to keep him warm on a chilly day. The attractive design is suitable for every room’s corners.

Skittles, my newly adopted 5 year old tabby, lives to play and sleep in the cave. He was very skittish when he moved in, but the cave made him feel safe and warm. Now he simply loves to play in there. It's wool, so there isn't as much static in the cold weather. It'a a win for my new roomie!

Ah, look at this sophisticated egg-shaped pod! It looks like it is coming from Mars somehow. Ta like the product we discussed earlier, this mini UVO comes with a heater that works if you plug it into a socket. Relax, it only takes low wattage to keep your old kitty warm. This enclosed kitty bed appeals to frisky kitties that enjoy rolling playfully in small boxes or cubbyholes.

The pod arrived today. I unpacked, assembled (simple zip), and plugged it in. our old girl, Delylah, got in immediately and began purring and making biscuits. I haven't seen her this comfortable in a long time. She has arthritis in both hips, and I only wish I'd gotten it for her sooner. Highly recommmend.

Still with the cat bed by K&H Pet Products, the interior of this item can be used for sleeping while the roof is perfect for daydreaming. This enclosed hood design enhances privacy and security, minimizing the potential of your senior cat to get stressed. It features a removable heater which ensures no cats get cold in it. And most importantly, this two-story house is easy assembly, no tools required.

20 yr old cat adores this; tried to get into it before we could even get it set up. Gets her through the winter. This is a 9 pound cat and it's the perfect size for her. Seems sturdy and well made.

Older cats will again be prone to pain and need warmth. That’s why picking a bed that is equipped with a heater is a smart choice. This Thermo-Kitty Deluxe Hooded Cat Bed provides exceptional coziness for your feline and helping them unwind into a deep sleep. It only takes 4 watts for the heater to function. Unzip the hood to turn the bed into a kitty cup.

She has become a real heat seeker in her old age. When I set it up, I put her in it and that was that. It was HER bed. She is small, just over 5 pounds, and this is the perfect size for her. Enough room to sit as a hump-bump or to curl up, with some extra space around her. This was an excellent investment for her.

The last product on our list is the super soft and luxurious Paw’s CatNap™ Faux Fur Orthopedic Bed. No cat will be able to resist the comfort of this plush, cozy, calming bed. The memory foam works to relieve pressure which is common in older cats. Coupled with the ultra-soft faux fur cover that gives a touch like heaven for your beloved cat.

This bed is as good as it gets! Orthopedic, stylish, and most importantly - comfortable! My Siamese Nils cannot thank you guys enough! :)
