The Pebble Bed is thoughtfully shaped to recreate the calming geometry of nature, offering a sculptural resting place your pet can nest into. Wrapped in claw-resistant bouclé and filled with plush cotton batting, it’s designed to be durable, cozy, and effortlessly maintained. With gentle care and a few simple steps, you can keep your Pebble Bed looking gallery-worthy while keeping your pet comfortable for years to come.
1. Opening & Loft Recovery
Your Pebble Bed arrives vacuum-sealed to minimize shipping waste and protect the structure. Once opened:
Let It Rest: Allow the bed to sit for 24 hours so the cotton fill can regain its full loft. The bed will naturally expand as air returns to the fibers.
Manual Fluffing: Each “pebble” cushion features a discreet zipper. To get the sculpted shapes back to their full, plush profile, unzip and use your hands to massage, lift, and fluff the interior fill from the inside out.
Quick Tip: Gently tug the shapes outward while rotating the bed for even loft distribution.
2. Removing Wrinkles
Compression may create fabric wrinkles or creasing. This is normal.
To smooth them out:
-
Lightly steam the outer bouclé fabric (recommended)
-
Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric
-
Avoid high heat or prolonged direct contact with the iron to protect the texture
Wrinkles will continue to relax as the fill expands.
3. Regular Cleaning
A little routine maintenance helps keep the Pebble Bed fresh:
-
Weekly Shakeout: Take the bed outside and give it a gentle shake to release loose fur, crumbs, and dust.
-
Lint Roll or Vacuum: A handheld vacuum with a soft brush attachment (or a lint roller) removes pet hair without disrupting the bouclé texture.
- Avoid Overbrushing: Bouclé is looped and textured; harsh bristles can pull surface yarns.
4. Spot Cleaning
For small marks or spills:
-
Use mild soap diluted in warm water
-
Dab lightly with a soft cloth or sponge
-
Avoid oversaturating the material
Allow the bed to air dry completely before placing it back into use.
Spot cleaning is usually the gentlest choice and helps maintain the sculptural shape longer.
5. Machine Washing
The Pebble Bed can be machine washed thanks to its durable fill and outer construction.
To wash the entire bed:
-
Use gentle cycle
-
Cool or lukewarm water
-
Mild detergent
-
Low heat tumble dry OR air dry
To wash only the outer cover:
-
Unzip each pebble cushion
-
Remove the cotton fill and set aside
-
Wash the cover separately on gentle
-
Air dry or tumble on low heat, then re-stuff and reshape
Machine drying on high heat can cause shrinkage or unnecessary stress to the fabric weave.
6. Drying & Reshaping
Whether spot cleaned or machine washed:
-
Reshape the organic pebble forms while damp
-
Gently redistribute the fill inside each cushion
-
For quicker drying, place in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight
As cotton fluff settles over time, occasional reshaping maintains the signature curves.
7. Understanding Bouclé Benefits
Bouclé isn’t just beautiful, it’s practical:
-
Claw-resistant loops help resist snagging
-
Textured weave masks minor hair and lint
-
Breathable structure helps regulate comfort
-
Soft yet structured feel supports cozy nesting
It’s a fabric chosen for both aesthetics and longevity.
8. Long-Term Shape Care
Your pet will naturally compress their favorite resting spot. To maintain contour:
-
Massage and lift the fill inside each cushion occasionally
-
Rotate the bed’s orientation every week or two
-
Store without compressing for extended periods
This keeps loft distribution even.
9. Helping Your Cat Warm Up to the Pebble Bed
While many cats are naturally drawn to the Pebble Bed’s soft contours and cozy crevices, some appreciate a little encouragement as they explore new spaces. Here are a few gentle ways to introduce it:
-
Add Their Scent: Place a lightweight blanket, towel, or worn T-shirt on top of the bed for the first few days. Familiar scent = instant comfort.
-
Sprinkle a Little Catnip: A small sprinkle of catnip or silvervine can spark curiosity and encourage kneading and rolling.
-
Use Treat Trails: Place a treat or two along the creases or shapes. This encourages exploring the unique terrain.
-
Place It in a Favorite Spot: Cats are territorial about places, not products. Position the Pebble Bed somewhere they already love to nap — near windows, warm sun patches, or quiet corners.
-
Lower It First: If your cat is generally cautious, start by placing it at ground level in an uncluttered area. Once they claim it, you can move it anywhere.
-
Introduce After Play: After an active play session, offer the bed during their natural “cool-down” window. The timing aligns with their instinct to nest.
Once they realize the crevices cradle their shoulders, hips, and paws, most cats claim the Pebble Bed as their primary nap spot.
10. Pet Hair Management
If you prefer, place a thin blanket or towel on top of the Pebble Bed between cleanings. This protects texture and can be washed more frequently.
11. Storage Tips
If storing the Pebble Bed for a season:
-
Ensure it is completely dry
-
Avoid sealing in plastic long-term
-
Store in a cool, dry area
-
Avoid stacking heavy objects on top
Compression over time can flatten the sculptural shape.
12. When to Replace
Cotton fill naturally softens with years of use. If you notice:
-
Deep flattening that doesn’t recover
-
Torn interior baffles
-
Significant chewing damage
It may be time to replace the bed or refill the batting.
By caring for your Pebble Bed with these simple steps, you’ll preserve both its sculptural presence and the cozy, contoured support your pet loves. Made to balance design and comfort, the Pebble Bed softens into your home the more it’s lived with, becoming part of your rhythm, not just your décor.
