THE SILENT STRUGGLE
90% of Cats Over 12 Have Arthritis
If your cat is over 6, they likely have arthritis. 60% of cats develop it by age 6, and 90% by age 12. As cartilage breaks down, bones rub together causing progressive pain, stiffness, and inflammation. But cats hide their discomfort expertly.
By the time you notice, it's often too late for effective intervention.
Infrared Heat Dual Therapy
Thermal Muscle Relaxation + Infrared Body Healing
Cat-safe thermal warmth loosens muscles and reduces stiffness. Far-infrared energy improves circulation to deliver nutrients and flush irritants, easing arthritis discomfort and improving mobility.
Orthopedic Memory Foam
High-Density, Slow-Rebound Pressure Relief
High-density memory foam evenly distributes weight and adapts to your cat's shape, reducing pressure on arthritic joints while minimizing muscle strain.
Ergonomic Design
Orthopedically Contoured, Low-Entry Design
Ergonomically designed for natural feline postures with low entry points for easy access. Supports spine, hips, and knees in proper alignment to reduce joint stress and help seniors settle comfortably.

Hi Knead team. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for releasing and delivering the oversized bed. It appeared to be right in time. My 21 year old Senya absolutely loved the smaller version but he was a big bone cat. I immediately got him 2 new beds which are 25 inches. He loved them even more. He spent his last days glued to the beds, enjoying warmth and relief before I let him go and cross the rainbow bridge. It definitely brighten his last days. Thank you again.

Cats seem to like the beds, but they are small for larger tabby cats.

I made the mistake of buying my cats one of these beds and now I fear I’ll need one in every corner of my house.
There’s apparently a designated lounging location in every room, and heaven forbid they have to relocate without premium seating waiting for them. I bought two already and I’m currently waiting on the third because the drama over who gets “the good bed” was becoming unbearable.
I no longer own a home. I manage a luxury cat resort. 😂

My cat claimed it the next day. She prefers no heat though. Also, I think it could be bigger. It seems like she can't really stretch out on it and still prefers her bigger beds.

My two older cats are both showing signs of arthritis. Of course I was afraid they would ignore the bed. My big boy, age 14, got on it the first day it was out, although I was worried it would be too small for him. But he curled up and just fits. My smaller 11-year old started using it too. They both do several hours a day. And it’s had a big impact on their comfort and activity levels. I’m thrilled with the bed and am thinking about getting the large bed too for simultaneous lounging!

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.
