About my SuperCozy Beds

What makes SuperCozy beds different from other pet beds?

Typical fleece beds are filled with polyester fiberfill, the stuff used for bringing stuffed animals to life and filling decorative pillows.  Fiberfill pillows and beds look great, but there's issues.  Fiberfill doesn't stay put meaning it shifts easily with manipulation, which quickly leads to the fibers separating and loosing loft, eventually creating clumps and thin spots.  Dogs typically paw and circle as they settle into a bed and this repeated action wears fiberfill down to nothing in no time.  As wonderful as fiberfill looks, it's just too squishy and unstable for dog bed use if you're expecting the bed to last.  

My beds don't look super thick at first, but the feel is far superior to any fiberfill bed and far more cushioned.  Layered fleeces and quilt batting are tied in place so they won't shift, bunch or clump with use which means the bed will last much, much longer and provide a stable, stay put cushion for the pet.


Are SuperCozy Beds Easy To Care For?

Completely machine washable, just toss the whole thing in the wash.  No removable cover that leaves the bed itself to absorb and retain pet odors.  The whole bed is easily washed needing no special attention.

Despite the multiple layered filling, the bed is very breathable and dries beautifully in the drier.   Drier heat helps to sterilize the bed, keeping it fresh and healthy for years to come.


Will SuperCozy Beds Last?

The best beds are covered with Polar or Sherpa fleece, long lasting fabrics that maintain their good looks over years of use.  I have fleece pillows and dog beds made ten and twenty years ago which still look and perform fantastically, I can't say the same for heavy upholstery fabric covered items which "bit the dust" ages ago.

Super Cozy pads/beds were born out of necessity beginning nearly twenty years ago.  Back then, I had adopted an "Uber Hound", who was an impressive 145 pound Treeing Walker Coonhound.  Basically, he was an inside pony.  He needed a huge, comfy, well padded bed that would last the ages, so I went online to one of those tony outdoor "Eddie Bean" type stores and purchased a huge, fluffy bed with a heavy duty canvas cover.  It was pricey, but I expected it to last.  Nope!  Within two years the fluffy poly-fill was mashed flat and with all the dogs pawing had worn thin spots in the canvas fabric as well as breaking up the poly-fill and causing it to lump.  The bed was horrid and hideous in just a few years.

So, I made a new fleece bed focusing on the padding, and came up with the "Super Cozy" which features two (or more) additional layers of quilt batting in the center portion of the bed to cushion hips and joints.  That's in addition to the layers of quilt batting throughout the entire bed (which can range between two and four layers).  All the layers make it super-duper cushioned, warm and comfortable while remaining breathable.  Absolutely priceless for elder dogs.


About the beds

Super Cozy beds feature multiple layers of breathable cushion for superior comfort.  Layers are made from cotton quilt batting, high loft poly quilt batting and/or fleece remnants unsuitable for bed covers.

Rag Doll beds utilize leftover fleece and batting fabrics for a "squishy" comfort cushion sandwiched between a layers of batting and quilted to hold its shape.

All beds are lightly "tie" quilted with heavy duty upholstery thread to maintain their shape without bunching or wadding with use.

Edge finishing is either tied creating a fluffy, scrunched bed;  chevron which lies flat, or braided which also lies flat and accommodates thick stuffed beds.  Braided edges can be "raw", showing the ends of the fringe, or "finished" which involves securing the fringe ends under the braid with upholstery thread.

All beds are completely machine washable.

If enough beds are sold, ETT will donate beds to a local shelter.
