1. The Original Calming Donut Cat Bed

As a Maine Coon owner, I was skeptical if the Best Friends by Sheri Calming Donut Bed would accommodate my large kitty.

However, to my delight, he adored it! The plush fur and round design provided a cozy sanctuary for him to curl up in.

Plus, the oyster color blended seamlessly with our home decor. It’s become my Maine Coons go-to spot for naps and lounging!

2. Plush Material: Soft fur lining provides warmth and comfort.
3. Supportive Walls: High bolster edges offer neck and back support.

2. Furhaven Cooling Gel Dog Bed (AND Cat Bed!)

As a devoted owner of two sizable Maine Coons, I opted for the Furhaven Cooling Gel Dog Bed.

Skepticism gave way to delight as my feline friends reveled in its plush comfort and cooling gel feature, especially during the hot summers.

Though its jumbo size proved a tad bulky, the removable bolsters eased cleaning, and this is finally a cat bed that fits my two 18-20 lbs Maine Coons (Mika and Bali).

For Maine Coon owners seeking a comfortable and quality cat bed, this bed is an excellent choice.

5. Quality Construction: Constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity.

Cons

3. Price: The higher price point may be a deterrent for some buyers.
4. Potential Odor Retention: The plush material may retain odors over time, requiring frequent cleaning.

3. Joyelf Large Memory Foam Dog Bed (AND Cats!)

As a Maine Coon owner, I invested in the JOYELF Large Memory Foam Dog Bed for my furry cat friend, Pippin, who sadly died in 2023.

My cat suffered from arthritis and mild hip dysplasia so I wanted Pippin to have a cat bed that eased his pain.

At first, I was skeptical about using a dog bed, but the size and orthopedic design seemed perfect for my large cat. Pippin weighed a whopping 20lbs!

To my delight, my Maine Coon took to the bed immediately. The memory foam provided exceptional support, especially for his joints and back.

The removable washable cover was a lifesaver for managing shedding and accidents as he aged.

Pros

1. Ample Size: The large size of the JOYELF Memory Foam Dog Bed accommodates the Maine Coon’s size comfortably.
2. Orthopedic Support: The memory foam provides excellent support for the cat’s joints, especially beneficial for large breeds prone to arthritis.

4. Durable Construction: The bed is made of high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting durability, even for a hefty Maine Coon.
5. Bonus Squeaker Toy: The addition of a squeaker toy adds entertainment value and enhances the cat’s overall experience.

Cons

1. Design: While functional, the design may not match traditional cat bed aesthetics.
2. Price: The bed’s larger size and premium features come with a higher price tag compared to standard cat beds.
3. Bulky: The bed’s size and construction may be bulky and take up more space in the home.
4. Not Elevated: Some Maine Coons prefer elevated beds for a better vantage point, which this bed does not offer.
5. Limited Color Options: The bed has limited color options, that may not match all your home decor styles.

4. Furhaven Modern Style Elevated Pet Bed Frame

As a proud owner of a majestic Maine Coon named Bali, I decided to invest in the Furhaven Elevated Dog Bed Frame for his comfort.

Bali immediately took to it, enjoying the elevated position that allowed him to survey his kingdom from a higher vantage point!

The bed’s sturdy construction provided ample support for his 18 lbs of weight, and the medium size fit him perfectly.

However, the assembly process was a bit challenging, requiring some effort to put together – but, I’ve never been good at DIY!

Overall, Bali loves his new bed, and it’s become his favorite spot for lounging and napping.

2. Sturdy construction supports his weight without sagging.
3. Modern walnut finish complements our home decor.
4. The easy assembly process saves time and effort.
5. Ample space provides room for Bali to stretch out comfortably.

Cons

4. May not be suitable for older or arthritic cats due to height.
5. I found the assembly process a little challenging, at points!

5. Asvin Large Pet Bed

The plush, soft fabric keeps them cozy, and the water-resistant bottom gives us peace of mind after one cat had a serious urinary infection and began ‘leaking’.
