About the Bed
Does the bed come with a cover?
Yes, the bed comes preassembled with a Bouclé Cover in 'milk'.
Why memory foam?
Memory foam has a viscosity that cushions sore joints. How does it do this? Well sore points in the body are usually warmer than other parts of the body due to inflammation, so the memory foam responds to this slight temperature increase by being more cushion-y and contouring to that spot providing instant relief. It also does not sink with your cat’s body like other cat beds that add more pressure to already sore joints.
What are the benefits of an orthopaedic cat bed?
The Bouclé Bungalow is specially designed to provide superior joint support, ensuring that your cat can sleep comfortably and without any pain or discomfort. Unlike traditional beds that tend to flatten or lose their shape with use, our high density memory foam will never lose its shape. This ensures that your cat's joints are properly cushioned and supported, which can help prevent and alleviate joint pain and stiffness. Another important benefit is that it reduces pressure on your cat's joints when they get in and out of bed. Soft beds can sink in, making it harder for your cat to get up and down. In contrast, the firm support of an orthopaedic bed ensures that your cat can move in and out of bed without any undue strain or discomfort.
My cat has arthritis, will this bed help?
ABSOLUTELY! The memory foam in the bed has a viscosity that cushions sore joints. How does it do this? Well, sore points in the body are usually warmer than other parts of the body due to inflammation, so the memory foam responds to this slight temperature increase by being more cushion-y and contouring to that spot, providing instant relief. It also does not sink with your cat’s body like other cat beds that add more pressure to already sore joints.
Is it hypoallergenic?
Yes! The memory foam does not harbour dust particles due to the waterproof lining. The ability to wash your cover easily and frequently will ensure your bed is always clean.
Is it toxin free?
No dangerous chemicals are used to make our products, and they pass all safety tests with flying colors.
Can my dog use this bed?
Absolutely, small dogs will adore this bed. We just recommend measuring your dog first to make sure they will fit.
Does the bed have an anti-skid base?
Yes it does. The Bouclé Bungalow will never slip or move when your cat steps into the bed to rest. This is crucial for cats that suffer from joint pain.
Can my cat move the bed?
Not if it is placed on a flat surface.
What is so special about the Bouclé Bungalow?
The Bouclé Bungalow is a patent pending design. We designed it to combine orthopaedic support, practicality and aesthetics in one bed. Every cat that has ever sat in this bed has immediately fallen in love. The secret is on the way it contours to your cat’s body, so they feel secure. The Chin Rest provides the perfect height ledge for your cat to rest their little head on for when they’re on judge duty. The fabric we used on this bed is so incredibly soft and cats love rubbing their faces on the smooth edges.
I just received the bed, why is it flat?
Depending on what warehouse your order has come from, it may be vacuum sealed when it arrives. If your bed has been vacuum sealed, it is totally normal for your cat bed to be flat when you first open it up. Please allow 7 days for it to fully plump up and look like photos online. Your cat can use it right away, and it will not affect the inflation process.
What if my cat doesn't like it?
We are so sure your cat is going to love this bed that we offer a catisfaction guarantee! However if your cat decides they would rather sleep in a cardboard box, you are welcome to return the bed within 14 days of receipt. Please contact customer service with your order number on hello@catstreet.com to initiate a return.
Is the cat bed indestructible?
By a cat? Pretty much. By a dog? Definitely not.
What is the bed made from?
Our patent pending cat bed is made from our proprietary high density memory foam for your cat’s comfort.
My cat wets the bed, is this bed suitable?
Yes totally. The inner memory foam is protected with a waterproof lining similar to your own mattress protector. It has a non-permeable barrier that will protect the inner from pee as long as it is not taken off.
Is the bed waterproof?
Yes, the bed’s interior is fully waterproof, provided you do not take the waterproof lining off the memory foam pieces. The outer bouclé cover is not waterproof, however it comes off and is machine washable.
Can I get the bed in the green?
Unfortunately not. The bed comes in ‘milk’ and any other cover is an add-on.
Is the bed scratch proof?
Your cat’s claws will seamlessly run through the bouclé loops without getting caught, so it does extremely well with scratching.
Can I put the bed on the cold floor?
We highly recommend you always place the bed on a rug and not directly on a cold floor to prevent condensation, which can contribute to mould.
Will my cat overheat in the bed?
We designed the bed to allow airflow around your cat’s body. This was achieved by creating a base that supports your cat’s body weight and does not sink with it.
Covers
What is the cover material made from?
The bouclé fabric is 100% polyester, making it extremely durable and easy to wash.
How do I change my covers?
Simply zip off the cover by unzipping the base zipper to release the base mattress and then the internal zipper to release the top cushion. Then assemble the bed with the new cover. Make sure the rounded edge of the chin rest is facing to the ground, so when you flip the bed over, the rounded edge is facing upwards.
Is the cover waterproof?
No, the cover is not waterproof because we have not treated the cover with any harmful waterproofing chemicals. We designed the cover for easy machine washing, meanwhile the inner memory foam is fully waterproof in the waterproof casing it comes in. Ensuring your bed is your cat’s forever bed, no matter how many revenge pees are carried out.
Will you be releasing more covers?
Absolutely! More covers, and more colors! This is just the beginning.
Care & Washing
Can I wash the bed?
You can certainly wash the bouclé cover by zipping it off and machine washing. The inner foam is protected with a waterproof lining kit, so there is no need to wash it. Washing the memory foam pieces will damage them. If you do wish to wash the waterproof lining, simply zip it off and wash on cold. Only reassemble your bed once all covers are fully dry.
How do I wash the Bouclé Cover?
Simply zip off the cover by unzipping the base zipper to release the base mattress and then the internal zipper to release the top cushion. Wash the cover only on a gentle warm machine wash with mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry or iron. Hang to dry. Please follow the care instructions on the care label attached to the cover.
How do I clean the foam?
You only need to wash the cover. Please never wash the memory foam pieces as it will damage their viscosity. There won’t be a need to wash your memory foam pieces because they are protected in a waterproof lining which will protect them from pee and other types of soiling.
How do I clean cat hair off the bed?
We highly recommend using the Furfy. The Furfy is another product we have produced, and it really is the best pet hair remover.
Sizing
What are the bed dimensions?
Outer diameter 22.5"
Inner diameter 12.5"
Outer height 6.2"
Inner height 3.5"
Chin rest width 6"
Why is it one size only?

Does it suit all cat breeds?
Yes it does.
Do I need to measure my cat?
No you don’t as the Bouclé Bungalow fits all sized cats.
Can two cats sleep in one bed?
Two small cats can sleep in one bed, however they will be squished, and some cats love that. If you have chonky cats, it’s best to get them one each.

About Us
Did you create the Barney Bed?
We sure did. Julia, our founder, welcomed two new furry family members - cats Roger & Abdul in early 2022, and used her experience with Barney Bed to develop a comfortable and stylish cat bed that would meet all their cat quirks.
Are you Australian owned?
Yes, Cat St was originally designed and developed in Bondi Beach, Australia. We have since expanded to North America!
Can I collab with you?
We are always looking for cat collabs, so if you think your cat has what it takes, email us on hello@catstreet.com, and we will send you a collab form where we ask you to upload a video of your space at home.
Do you wholesale?
We don’t wholesale at this stage, sorry.
Where is the bed made?
We take pride in manufacturing our beds in our own facility in China, despite concerns some people have about goods made in the country. We understand that China has a reputation for unethical supply chains, but we want to assure you that we take this matter very seriously. Our facility upholds strict ethical standards, including paying above fair wages to employees and complying with Oeko-Tex regulations.
As a company with years of experience in the pet bed industry (such as with our Barney Bed), we are not simply mass producers or dropshippers. We have personally designed each and every one of our products from scratch (except the Furfy), and we see them through every step of the manufacturing process. We are dedicated to producing high-quality products that will have a long lifespan, so our customers can trust in their purchase.
While we understand the desire for local manufacturing, we have found that this doesn't necessarily equate to better quality. Instead, it will always lead to a significant increase in price, sometimes up to 5 times higher. We believe in offering affordable, high-quality products, and we are committed to continuing to provide our customers with the best possible options.
