Knead is officially one year old! To celebrate the first anniversary of our award-winning Knead Therapeutic Cat Bed, we released an updated model that’s more effective at soothing feline arthritis and easier for humans to maintain — all while keeping the core features that make the bed a hit with cats and pet parents alike.
What inspired these changes? Co-founder of Knead, Ben Li, explains that customer feedback was a major inspiration behind updating the Knead Therapeutic Cat Bed, and evolving the design was a “natural next step” for the company. “[We] continue to strive in being the first brand that comes to mind for those who seek products designed to give cats the best life,” he says.

What’s New With the Knead Therapeutic Cat Bed?
Pet parents may be wondering how we could improve on an award-winning product that’s been clinically proven to diminish arthritis symptoms in cats — but at Knead, we’re continuously striving to pioneer innovations in feline health. Here’s what you’ll find in the latest model:
-
It Now Features InfraTherm Technology.
We’re taking Knead’s comforting warmth to the next level by incorporating far infrared technology to increase circulation, loosen muscles, and decrease stiffness in cats with arthritis — all while maintaining a cat-safe surface temperature of 103ºF.
-
The Heating Layer is Now Detachable.
The new design features a heating layer that can detach from the rest of the bed for easier care and maintenance. While it’s engineered as a standalone component for cleaning purposes, it’s intended to be used as part of the full Knead Therapeutic Bed. This updated construction maintains the same gentle, close-to-skin warmth cats crave, while giving pet parents added convenience.
-
A Removable Cover for Easy Care - With Optional Spare Covers Available.
The Core Elements of the Knead Therapeutic Bed Cats Love
The upgrades above enhance what’s already a good cat bed for arthritis and pain relief — here are the features you’ll still find as part of the Knead Orthopedic Cat Bed:
-
Orthopedic Memory Foam Core: Knead’s high-density, contoured memory foam core molds to your cat’s body and distributes their weight evenly to reduce pressure on arthritic joints.
-
Nano-Heating Technology: Combined with the VolcanicFabric cover, Knead’s nano-heating technology provides cats with a warm, cozy surface they can enjoy.
-
Heat-Activated Herbal Pads: Apply heat-activated herbal pads to your Knead Therapeutic Bed to reduce joint inflammation and create a calm atmosphere for your cat.
Why Purchase a Knead Therapeutic Bed for Your Cat?
If your senior cat is showing signs of arthritis, the Knead Therapeutic Bed can ease symptoms by providing full-body support, comforting heat, and healing aromatherapy. However, Knead can play a role in all stages of a cat’s life — from kittenhood to old age, and everything in between.
In the year since the release of its award-winning therapeutic pet bed, Knead has helped tens of thousands of cats improve their joint health, reduce pain, and regain mobility. It’s also been useful for kittens and adult cats recovering from surgery or settling into a new home or routine.
Here’s what some satisfied cat parents have to say about their experience with the Knead Therapeutic Cat Bed:
“Our kitty likes the Knead bed. He has chronic kidney disease and arthritis and is pretty picky. I put the bed down, turned on the heat, and walked away. He checked it out on his own and decided he liked it. He sleeps well on it, and it seems to make him feel good.”
“One of our cats, Lucy, was diagnosed with arthritis this year. The Knead Therapeutic Bed showed up at the right time for us! Lucy immediately claimed it as hers, and I think she's finding some comfort and relief.”
“My cat Ivan is 15 and has arthritis and neuropathy due to diabetes. He’s been experiencing pain and mobility issues, while I’m working with my vet to treat him. Ivan spends the majority of his time on the bed, and I can tell it’s a big comfort to him, especially when heated.”
“Got this bed for my sister’s cat, who is a bit high-anxiety and gets very feisty. Within one hour of setting up the bed, Dave (her cat) was sound asleep, slept through the night in the bed, and is still laying around in it the next afternoon. I’ve never seen him so happy and relaxed!”
“This bed has been an incredible addition to my cat Finch’s FHO surgery recovery journey. Since his surgery, the Knead Therapeutic Cat Bed has provided him with exceptional comfort, helping to ease his pain and allowing him to rest peacefully.”
