Washable, Inflatable Pet Beds from Snappy Snoozers
Like most pets, my dogs Otis and Maverick love lounging on their pet beds. Aside from the comfort factor, I believe they truly enjoy having their own things; their beds, toys, and blankets are all very special to them.
They get excited when they get something new (they always know when something’s for them, but don’t ask me how!), and their new Snappy Snoozers bed was no exception. As soon as I started opening the box, my waggy-tailed audience was eager to see what they were getting.
Their new Snappy Snoozers pet bed is an inflatable mattress with a snap-on fleece cover. The kit includes a zip-close travel tote, the inflatable mattress, two fleece covers, and a foot-pump for inflating and deflating the mattress. The firmness of the mattress can be changed by adjusting the amount of air in it; I found that my dogs prefer it about half-full, so it was kind of squishy. The durable PVC mattress is simple to clean with a sanitizing wipe, and the covers are machine washable and dryable, making it perfect for owners of pets that have incontinence problems, since the entire bed can be quickly sanitized.
To be perfectly honest, I had a hard time getting the included pump to inflate the mattress, despite Maverick’s close supervision. The tubes kept popping off the stems, and the air didn’t seem to flow through the valve. So I just used lung power and blew up the mattress like a balloon, and in no time, it was inflated and the cover was attached, ready for Otis’s inspection.
The cover goes over the top and sides of the mattress, leaving the bottom uncovered. The plastic snaps are along the sides toward the bottom edge of the mattress, and they snap closed easily, firmly holding the cover in place. Likewise, they also easily unsnap, making it a cinch to change covers when necessary.
Snappy Snoozers’ unique materials and construction make it great for use outdoors. The first day I put the Snappy Snoozers bed out on the deck, there was a surprise rain shower, after which both the fleece cover and the mattress air-dried in no time—a much different scenario than if I had left a regular pet bed out in the rain!
Snappy Snoozers beds are available in two sizes, small (22″x16″x4″) and large (34″x22″x4″), which sell for $69.99 and $79.99, respectively. The fleece covers come in several colors, and additional replacement covers are also available for purchase. The small size is ideal for cats or small dogs, while the large size is best suited for bigger dogs or households with multiple pets that snuggle together.
