A round felt bed with a tunnel opening, built as a double-layer shell that holds its shape. The whole thing unzips and comes apart for washing.
Cats use it two ways, which is the point of the shape: as an enclosed bed when they want to be out of sight, and as a tunnel to run through when they do not. Felt is a sensible material here because it resists snagging from claws better than a woven fabric.
Sizes
Medium — 50 × 50 × 23cm, suits cats up to about 4kg
Large — 60 × 60 × 23cm, suits cats up to about 8kg
External dimensions. The usable interior is smaller, since the walls are thick by design.
Before you order
Cats are less predictable about beds than dogs, and an enclosed shape either works for a particular cat or it does not. If yours already seeks out boxes and bags, this will land well. If they sleep in the open on the back of the sofa, an open bed is the better bet.

Two shapes a cat will actually use
A double-layer felt shell that holds its own shape, with a tunnel opening. It works as somewhere to hide and somewhere to run through.
The shell
It holds its shape
Built as a double-layer felt shell rather than a soft fabric bag, so the opening stays open and the walls stay up. A collapsing tunnel is one a cat stops using.
Double-layer felt construction
The material
Felt over woven fabric
Felt resists snagging from claws better than a woven fabric does. On a shape a cat runs through and turns around inside, that is the difference between a bed that ages well and one that pulls into threads.
Claw-resistant felt
The cleaning
It comes apart
The whole thing unzips and separates for washing, rather than being a sealed shell you can only wipe. A bed that is awkward to wash is a bed that does not get washed.
Unzips completely · two sizes, four colourwaysWho this one suits, and who it doesn't
We would rather talk you out of the wrong bed than sell it to you. Both lists below are honest.
Take this one if
- Cats that already seek out boxes, bags and shelves
- Cats that want to be out of sight during the day
- Households where the bed will need washing
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that sleep in the open on the back of the sofa — an enclosed shape either works for a particular cat or it is ignored entirely
- Cats over about 8 kg in the Medium

Questions we get about the Tunnel
Specific to this one, not the range. If yours is not here, ask.
Thirty days from delivery to change your mind, on an unused bed in its packaging — you cover the return freight, which on a bed this bulky is usually $25 to $60.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, that is different: we cover everything, freight included. Your consumer guarantees under Australian law apply whatever this or any other page says.
Will my cat use it?
Honestly, it depends on the cat. Enclosed shapes either land or get ignored, and the only reliable signal is what your cat already does. If they seek out boxes and bags, this will work. If they sleep stretched in the open, buy an open bed.
How much room is inside?
Less than the external figure suggests — the walls are thick by design, which is what makes the shell hold its shape. Size by your cat curled rather than stretched.
Is it orthopaedic?
No. None of our cat beds are, and we do not describe them that way. Orthopaedic here means a supportive foam base, and this is a felt shell.
Does it stay open?
That is the reason for the double-layer construction. A single-layer fabric tunnel sags shut, and a cat stops going in.
