The Best Cat Pillows
As cat lovers, we tend to find joy in anything kitten-related. Cat pillows are no exception with their adorable designs and awesome comfort levels. Whether you decide to keep them for yourself or lend them to your pet, you're sure to appreciate these fun novelties. To help you find the very best products we've gathered and reviewed the best cat pillows available on the market today. While making our picks, we questioned the feel of the fabrics, the cushion levels, and the cuteness of the kittens. We were most impressed by the Onsoyours Cat Pillow for its adorable design, as well as the Petstages version since it can be enjoyed by humans or cats. We can't wait for you to find your perfect fit as you skim through the following pieces.
Onsoyours Plush Cat Pillow
Oh so squishy
This cat pillow is all about luxury. It has a soft, cotton exterior that is both cozy to hold and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. Its medium size makes it perfect for laying on or snuggling with, no matter what age. Its adorably embroidered face and paw prints add to its overall quality, too.
Pros:
- We liked that this cat pillow is safe to throw in the washing machine and dryer, making the cleanup process a complete breeze.
- It came nicely packaged in a zippered-shut bag, which made us feel like it was cared for from its creation all the way to our front door.
Cons:
- Since this comes in tight packaging, it can take a few days to fluff up after opening it. You can always throw it in the dryer for a faster process if you need it in perfect condition right away.
Petstages Cat Pillow
Perfect for purring pets
This pillow isn’t just shaped like a cat — it’s made for cats, too. It’s a soft, soothing comfort item to add to your kitty’s sleeping spot, and it can be especially helpful if your furry friend tends to experience anxiety while you’re away. A built-in purring sound activates when touched and lasts for two minutes to help calm your cat.
Pros:
- We appreciate that the purring piece comes out, so it can be washed and dried on its own when it gets dirty.
- Because of its soft texture and realistic sounds, we found that the pillow made a great comfort item for grieving cats who recently lost a feline friend.
Cons:
- Cats can quickly become attached to this little pillow, so you may need to purchase more than one if you have multiple pets at home.
Snowolf Cat Pillow
Lifesize length
If you’re a fan of big snuggles, a cat body pillow is right up your alley. This version from Snowolf is available in a variety of sizes, giving you the all-night comfort you need. Its cotton fill and plush fabric make it cozy to cuddle up to. The animated cat style is simply adorable, especially compared to the typical body pillows sold today.
Pros:
- We like that the pillow is easy to clean. You’re able to throw it in with our regular bedding load in the washing machine.
- Whether you rest your head on it or embrace it, this entire pillow is wonderfully huggable.
Cons:
- Real cats may not know what to think about this pillow, but they should get used to it with time.
Erdao Large Cat Plush
Oversized comfort
This cat pillow is enormous, and that’s not the only reason we love it. It has a super soft plush exterior and a nice amount of squishy cotton fill. Use it as a regular sleeping pillow, a hugging pillow, a backrest on the floor, and more. Whatever you use it for, you’ll love that it’s washable, so you don’t need to worry about spills or stains.
Pros:
- This cat’s extra-large size makes it an impressive gift for kids and adults alike.
- There’s a zipper on the side, so you can remove or add stuffing.
Cons:
- The surface took some time to smooth out after arriving in the mail.
JWH 3D Cat Pillow
Lifelike and lovable
If you’re looking for a cat pillow that looks like a real kitten, this may be a good choice. It’s super soft and sturdy, ensuring it will hold up to the test of time. Plus, it’s made of clean cotton material to keep you safe and comfortable while you snuggle up for the night.
Pros:
- The big eyes made us feel like this sweet kitty was looking at us from all spots in our room.
- The price point is excellent for gifting, making this a great purchase for any cat lover in your life.
Cons:
- This piece is a little bit small at just under a foot tall, but it’s perfect for adding to a pillow collection.
