3 Reasons Why Your Cat Needs This Bed







Treatment for cats with arthritis is limited. Until Knead Therapeutic Bed.

Arthritis largely goes undiagnosed in cats. From being stoic to attributing behavior changes to age, cats tend to keep their pain to themselves. Our Therapeutic Bed can give cats the relief they haven’t even been asking for.

  • Warmth

    Instant cat-safe temperatures ease joints and muscles using our proprietary, ultra-efficient nano-heating sheet and heat distribution fabric.

  • Comfort

    Spongy orthopedic memory foam provides soothing custom comfort and support, while the hammock shape helps cats feel secure.

  • Calming

    Heat-activated herbal remedies reduce the inflammatory signs of arthritis and help regulate a cat’s behavior.

    Hesitant to purchase but it’s amazing

    I hesitated to buy for months. It seemed expensive but I finally gave in and my cats are glad I did. They love it. I always have one sleeping in it. I have some larger cats (20 lbs) and would love if there was a bigger size for them. Happy I did it.

    Dry soothing for our Big Guy Poomer Roo

    The instructions are easy to sue, do have to plug it in vs battery operated, so plan for the bed by a socket.

    Very soothing and I know it's brining pain relief because Poomer is more mobile, and happy energy, and engaging. He had kind of drifted into himself in the past six months. Was very happy to help him with healing heat.

    He and his sister are on Marty's or Dr Richters freeze dried foods, Cat Person soft for flavor and protein, and several supportive supplement. The heat was very much needed for our 15 year old.

    I would only change to have a large size selection for long cats. It works well inside a big bed so he can spread out a bit.

    My cat has never liked a cat bed...

    But he loves this one. He's on it probably 18 hrs a day. Toby has a luxating patella and hip dysplasia on top of being arthritic and this bed has brought him a ton of comfort- best money I ever spent on a Christmas present for a cat.

    Wow — thank you so much for sharing this. We’re seriously touched to hear how much comfort the bed has brought Toby 💛 Knowing it’s helping with his arthritis, luxating patella, and hip dysplasia makes everything we do feel so worth it.

    We’re honored to be part of his daily routine (18 hours a day? He really claimed it 😻). You clearly love him so much, and we’re thrilled this was a Christmas gift that truly delivered.

    Sending Toby lots of gentle pets and cozy vibes from the Knead team!

    LOVE!!

    My 16 yr old Senior cat absolutely LOVES this bed and she is always in it! I have tried so many different cat beds and she would never sit, let alone sleep, in any of them. She has advanced arthritis and the shape, support and warmth this bed provides definitely soothes her.

    My only complaint is that the white cover gets dirty easily and I am constantly having to wash it. I don't like the black because it shows all her shedding, so I wish it came in other colors like beige or grey.

    We completely understand your feedback about the cover colors - we hear you! While we currently only offer black and white, we're taking note of the suggestion for more neutral color options like beige and grey.

    Thank you for being part of the Knead family and for taking such wonderful care of your sweet senior girl. :)

FAQs

Why did we create Knead Therapeutic Bed?

Arthritis is a common disease for senior cats. One of the most effective ways to alleviate arthritis symptoms is through heat and orthopedic beds. As a team of cat lovers, we want to help fellow cat parents create a cat-first mattress that helps soothe cats with arthritis. We partnered with vets and veterinary behaviorists to develop Knead Therapeutic Bed to provide warmth, joint support and holistic sleep wellbeing to improve the quality of life for cats with arthritis. 

What makes Knead Therapeutic Bed different than other cat beds?

Our bed is made by cat experts who strive to relieve the symptoms of arthritis in cats and improve their quality of life. OrthoShape to conforms cat’s bodies and contour their common sleeping postures, so they feel secure and relaxed.

VolcanicFabric and NanoHeat technologies provide instant and highly efficient heating to the complete bed at a cat-safe temperature, while HerbalAroma natural herb-based medicine provides cats the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects to reduce arthritis pain.
