Cat Bed & Cave Inserts
Cat bed and cave inserts: replacement pads, waterproof mats, covers and a starter insert. The parts you replace on their own, without replacing the bed.
A cat bed insert is chosen by diameter or by the name of the cave model. Most products are made once the order is placed, in our workshop in Czechowice-Dziedzice, southern Poland.

Three groups in one category
The names here are similar and the products do different things. The category holds three groups:
- Replacement pads - a soft insert for the inside of a bed or a cave. There are eleven of them and they have their own subcategory.
- Waterproof mats - double-sided mats sewn for one specific queening box or cave model. They also have their own subcategory.
- Covers - the outer layer you take off an anti-stress pouf or off the CHMURA bed.
Beyond the textiles, two items here are made of plywood: a stand for the caves and ARENA, a play arena for cats.
How to choose the size of an insert
Round pads are chosen to match the diameter of the bed. The options are 15.7 in (40 cm), 17.7 in (45 cm), 19.7 in (50 cm), 23.6 in (60 cm) and 27.6 in (70 cm), and the product page states the rule plainly: for a bed of 15.7 in (40 cm) in diameter, take a pad of the same diameter.
Rectangular pads come in 19.7 × 13.8 in (50 × 35 cm), 23.6 × 12.6 in (60 × 32 cm) and 29.5 × 13.8 in (75 × 35 cm). The 23.6 × 12.6 in (60 × 32 cm) size is also sewn separately for the OLIWKA nest and for the STOKROTKA nest.
Mats and the starter insert are matched to a model, not to a size. The product name carries the name of the cave or queening box it fits.
Replacement pads
The ANANAS (pineapple) pad is about 1.6 in (4 cm) thick, with milky or black faux fur and a middle layer of silicone wadding made specially for PRASKA. The composition is 100% polyester.
The FUR pad is thicker, about 2 in (5 cm), with wide faux fur and fabric. Next to them sit FUR OVAL and PUFFY, and ANANAS versions sewn for the BONBON cave and for BABY BORN at 27.6 in (70 cm) in diameter.
The START insert is sewn for BABY BORN caves of 27.6 in (70 cm) in diameter, with a choice of faux fur.
Waterproof mats
The mat is double-sided. One side is waterproof fabric that protects the base of the queening box from moisture, the other is soft faux fur. Both layers are quilted.
The mat for the QUEEN box measures 29.5 × 20.5 in (75 × 52 cm) and is 0.6 in (1.5 cm) thick, and it fits QUEEN and QUEEN PREMIUM. The mat for BABY BORN is 27.6 in (70 cm) in diameter and the same thickness, and it fits BABY BORN PLUS and BABY BORN ROYAL. There is also a version with terrace protection, plus mats for the BONBON cave and for ARENA.
The composition is 100% polyester. The mats are sewn by hand in Poland.
Covers
You take the cover off and wash it without removing the filling. This category holds covers for the high anti-stress pouf, in a fabric and a faux fur version, a cover for the low anti-stress pouf and a cover for the CHMURA bed, where you choose the size.
Two items made of plywood
The plywood stand raises a cave off the floor, and ARENA is a plywood play arena. Both let you choose the plywood color.
Washing and care
Replacement pads are machine washable at 86 °F (30 °C) or below, spin up to 800 rpm, no chlorine. They dry quickly and keep their shape.
Waterproof mats are machine washable at 104 °F (40 °C) or below, spin up to 1000 rpm. Do not tumble dry, do not iron.
How do I choose an insert for a bed or a cave?
Round pads are chosen to match the diameter of the bed. The options are 15.7 in (40 cm), 17.7 in (45 cm), 19.7 in (50 cm), 23.6 in (60 cm) and 27.6 in (70 cm), and the rule comes straight from the product page: match the pad diameter to the bed diameter. Rectangular pads come in 19.7 × 13.8 in (50 × 35 cm), 23.6 × 12.6 in (60 × 32 cm) and 29.5 × 13.8 in (75 × 35 cm).
What is the difference between a waterproof mat and a replacement pad?
A pad is a soft insert for the inside of a bed, about 1.6 in (4 cm) thick in the ANANAS version and about 2 in (5 cm) in the FUR version. A mat is 0.6 in (1.5 cm) thick and double-sided: faux fur on one face, waterproof fabric on the other. You take a mat where the base needs protecting from moisture.
Which models do the waterproof mats fit?
The QUEEN and QUEEN PREMIUM queening boxes at 29.5 × 20.5 in (75 × 52 cm), BABY BORN PLUS and BABY BORN ROYAL at 27.6 in (70 cm) in diameter, the BONBON cave and ARENA. Every mat carries the model name in its title.
Can a cover be bought on its own?
Yes. The covers for the high and low anti-stress pouf and the cover for the CHMURA bed are listed here as separate items. The filling stays, you replace only the outer layer.
What temperature do the inserts wash at?
Replacement pads up to 86 °F (30 °C), spin up to 800 rpm, no chlorine. Waterproof mats up to 104 °F (40 °C), spin up to 1000 rpm, no tumble drying and no ironing.
