Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I choose?
Our pet beds are available in multiple sizes to accommodate different pets and sleeping habits.
To find the best fit, we recommend measuring the space your pet occupies while comfortably resting and comparing those dimensions with our size guide.
Keep in mind that cats naturally enjoy curling up and nestling against the sides of their sleeping space. Our pet beds are thoughtfully designed with gently rounded corners to provide the cozy, secure feeling they instinctively seek.
If your cat prefers sleeping curled up, there is usually no need to choose a bed much larger than they are. As a reference, an average-sized cat fits comfortably in our Standard size.
If your pet prefers stretching out fully or sleeping on its side, we recommend choosing the next size up.
Will my cat or dog like wool?
Most cats and dogs are naturally drawn to wool because of its warmth, texture, and distinctive natural scent. As a renewable animal fibre, wool offers a familiar and comforting environment that many pets instinctively enjoy.
Its naturally temperature-regulating properties also help create a comfortable resting place throughout every season.
Why are cats so attracted to wool?
Cats have long shown a natural attraction to wool. Its scent, texture, warmth, and animal origin create a familiar material that naturally stimulates their curiosity and instincts.
Unlike synthetic fabrics, wool has a living texture that responds differently to touch, creating a comforting environment for both resting and relaxing. Many cats are instinctively attracted to this natural fibre, which comes from sheep that are shorn as part of their regular care; making wool a responsibly sourced, renewable resource.
Will the pet bed keep its shape?
Yes. Our Signature Felt is manufactured to rigorous industrial standards to create an exceptionally dense, stable, and durable material.
Its high density allows the bed to naturally retain its structure while remaining flexible enough to provide a comfortable resting surface.
If needed, a warm iron with steam or a garment steamer can easily restore the bed to its original flat shape. Thanks to the natural resilience of wool fibres, the felt responds exceptionally well to gentle heat and steam.
Will my pet's claws damage the felt?
Our Signature Felt is designed to withstand everyday use. Over time, claws may leave light surface marks or create a slight fuzzing effect, which is completely normal for a natural wool material.
These signs simply reflect your pet enjoying the product and do not affect the bed's structure, durability, or performance.
How do I clean the pet bed?
Every MATT™ pet bed includes a complimentary cashmere brush, specially selected to care for our Signature Felt. We recommend brushing the felt regularly to remove pet hair, loose fibres, and dust while preserving its natural appearance.
A vacuum may also be used whenever needed.
For small stains, gently spot clean with cold water and mild soap, then allow the felt to air dry completely.
If the felt loses its shape over time, a warm iron with steam or a garment steamer will easily restore its original flat appearance. Thanks to the natural resilience of wool fibres, it responds exceptionally well to gentle heat and steam.
Can I add a cushion?
Absolutely. Our pet beds can be used on their own or paired with one of our cushions, depending on your pet's preferences. Many cats enjoy resting directly on the wool felt, while others prefer an extra-soft sleeping surface.
For added comfort, we offer two cushion options:
- Our Minimalist Cushion, designed with a clean, low-profile silhouette that preserves the refined aesthetic of the pet bed.
- Our Premium Cushion, featuring thicker, plush bolstered edges, ideal for pets who enjoy curling up or resting their head on a gently raised edge.
Both cushions are designed to fit perfectly inside our pet beds while providing long-lasting everyday comfort.
Can the basket be used for something other than a pet bed?
Yes. Thanks to its timeless design and the durability of our Signature Felt, the basket can easily evolve with your home and be repurposed as your needs change.
It is perfect for organizing:
- Pet toys
- Blankets and throws
- Magazines and books
- Entryway essentials
- Bathroom accessories
- Children's toys
- Office supplies
- Knitting yarn and craft materials
- Everyday household essentials
Designed as a timeless home object rather than a disposable pet accessory, it is made to remain part of your home long after its original purpose has changed.
Why choose wool instead of a synthetic pet bed?
Unlike many synthetic materials, wool is naturally breathable, temperature regulating, antibacterial, and resistant to odours and moisture.
Its rich texture and naturally comforting feel create an inviting resting place that supports your pet's instinctive behaviours while blending beautifully into contemporary interiors.
As a renewable natural fibre, wool also offers a more thoughtful and sustainable alternative to many synthetic pet products.
Why is your pet bed more expensive than most pet beds?
Our pet bed is designed as a lasting object rather than a disposable product. It is crafted from our Signature Felt, a high-density natural wool selected for its exceptional quality, strength, and longevity.
At MATT™, we believe the most beautiful objects are the ones that never need replacing. Instead of creating short-lived pet accessories, we design timeless pieces made to accompany your companion for many years.
When you choose a MATT™ pet bed, you are choosing a bed designed to last. One that grows older alongside your companion and can continue to serve a purpose in your home as a storage basket for toys, blankets, magazines, or everyday essentials.
Thoughtfully designed in Québec and made in Canada, it combines natural materials, intentional design, and careful craftsmanship to create an object that feels as at home in your living space as it does in your pet's daily life.
Because we believe in owning fewer things; but choosing them well.
Foire aux questions
Quelle taille devrais-je choisir?
Nos paniers sont offerts en plusieurs formats afin de convenir à différentes tailles d'animaux et à différentes habitudes de repos.
Pour choisir la taille idéale, nous recommandons de mesurer l'espace occupé par votre animal lorsqu'il est confortablement couché, puis de comparer ces dimensions à notre guide des tailles.
Gardez toutefois à l'esprit que les chats aiment naturellement dormir en boule et se blottir contre les rebords de leur espace de repos. Notre panier a été conçu avec des coins délicatement arrondis afin d'offrir cette sensation de confort et de sécurité qu'ils recherchent instinctivement.
Si votre chat aime dormir recroquevillé, il n'est généralement pas nécessaire de choisir un panier beaucoup plus grand que lui. À titre indicatif, un chat de taille moyenne est parfaitement à l'aise dans notre format Standard 17x13
Si votre animal aime plutôt s'étirer complètement ou dormir sur le côté, nous recommandons de choisir la taille supérieure.
Mon chat ou mon chien aimera-t-il la laine?
La plupart des animaux sont naturellement attirés par la laine grâce à sa texture, sa chaleur et son odeur naturelle. Provenant directement d'une fibre animale renouvelable, la laine offre une sensation familière et réconfortante que de nombreux chats et chiens apprécient instinctivement.
Pourquoi les chats aiment-ils autant la laine?
Les chats entretiennent depuis longtemps une attirance naturelle pour la laine. Son odeur, sa texture, sa chaleur et sa provenance animale créent une matière familière qui stimule naturellement leur curiosité et leur instinct.
Contrairement aux matériaux synthétiques, la laine possède une texture vivante qui procure une sensation réconfortante, autant pour le repos que pour les moments de détente. De nombreux chats sont instinctivement attirés par cette fibre naturelle provenant des moutons, une ressource renouvelable récoltée dans le cadre de leurs soins réguliers. (ressource responsable)
Le panier conservera-t-il sa forme?
Oui. Notre feutre signature est fabriqué selon des standards industriels rigoureux afin d'obtenir un matériau exceptionnellement dense, stable et durable. Il conserve naturellement sa structure tout en demeurant suffisamment souple pour offrir une surface confortable.
Si nécessaire, un simple passage au fer tiède avec vapeur permettra de lui redonner sa forme d'origine à plat. Grâce à la résilience naturelle des fibres de laine, il réagit très bien à la chaleur & vapeur.
Les griffes vont-elles abîmer le feutre?
Notre feutre signature est conçu pour résister à un usage quotidien. Les griffes peuvent laisser de légères marques ou créer un léger duvet en surface au fil du temps, ce qui est normal pour une fibre naturelle. Ces traces témoignent simplement de l'utilisation du produit et n'affectent ni sa structure ni sa durabilité.
Comment nettoyer le panier?
Chaque panier est accompagné d'une brosse à cachemire (gratuite), spécialement sélectionnée pour l'entretien du feutre. Nous recommandons de l'utiliser régulièrement afin de retirer les poils, les fibres libres et les petites poussières tout en préservant l'apparence du matériau.
Vous pouvez également utiliser un aspirateur au besoin.
Pour les petites taches, nettoyez délicatement la surface avec de l'eau froide et un savon doux, puis laissez sécher complètement à l'air libre.
Si nécessaire, un simple passage au fer tiède avec vapeur permettra de lui redonner sa forme d'origine à plat. Grâce à la résilience naturelle des fibres de laine, il réagit très bien à la chaleur & vapeur.
Puis-je ajouter un coussin?
Absolument. Nos paniers peuvent être utilisés seuls ou accompagnés d'un coussin, selon les préférences de votre animal. Plusieurs chats apprécient directement le contact avec la laine, tandis que d'autres préfèrent une surface plus moelleuse.
Pour encore plus de confort, nous proposons deux options :
- Notre coussin minimaliste, offrant une surface douce et discrète qui préserve l'esthétique épurée du panier.
- Notre coussin Premium, doté de rebords plus épais et moelleux, idéal pour les animaux qui aiment se blottir ou reposer leur tête sur un contour légèrement surélevé.
Les deux modèles sont conçus pour s'intégrer parfaitement à nos paniers et offrir un confort durable au quotidien.
Le panier peut-il être utilisé pour autre chose qu'un lit pour animal?
Oui. Grâce à son design intemporel et à la durabilité de notre feutre signature, le panier s'intègre naturellement à toutes les pièces de la maison et peut facilement être réutilisé selon vos besoins.
Il est parfait pour organiser les jouets pour animaux, les couvertures et plaids du salon, les magazines, les livres, les accessoires d'entrée, les produits de salle de bain, les jouets pour enfants, les accessoires de bureau, les pelotes de laine ou encore les petits objets du quotidien.
Pensé comme un véritable objet de design, notre panier est conçu pour évoluer avec votre mode de vie et conserver sa place dans votre intérieur, même lorsque les besoins changent.
Pourquoi choisir la laine plutôt qu'un lit synthétique?
Contrairement à plusieurs matériaux synthétiques, la laine est une fibre naturelle respirante, thermorégulatrice et naturellement résistante aux odeurs. Elle offre une texture chaleureuse et une sensation enveloppante qui créent un environnement confortable pour l'animal tout en s'intégrant harmonieusement aux intérieurs contemporains.
Pourquoi votre panier est-il plus dispendieux que la plupart des lits pour animaux?
Notre panier est conçu comme un objet durable plutôt qu'un produit jetable. Il est fabriqué à partir de notre feutre signature, une laine naturelle haute densité sélectionnée pour sa qualité, sa résistance et sa longévité.
Chez MATT™, nous croyons que les plus beaux objets sont ceux que l'on ne remplace pas. Plutôt que de concevoir des accessoires éphémères, nous créons des objets pensés pour accompagner votre compagnon pendant de nombreuses années.
Lorsque vous choisissez un panier MATT™, vous choisissez un lit conçu pour durer. Un objet qui vieillit avec votre animal, puis qui peut continuer à trouver sa place dans votre maison comme panier de rangement pour les jouets, les couvertures, les magazines ou les objets du quotidien.

Unlike synthetic beds, natural wool, a familiar material for animals, naturally regulates temperature, resists odors, and integrates seamlessly into modern interiors. Designed with an architectural intent, MATT™ becomes both a resting space for your pet and a timeless object within the home.
Inspired by the box, the most iconic and universally loved object for cats, MATT™ recreates a feeling of enclosure and security through its four sculptural corners.

The wool used comes directly from sheep; fibers are carefully washed, purified, and then compressed into an industrial-grade natural wool felt, made in Canada. This material is breathable; antibacterial; fire-resistant; anti-static; and remarkably durable. Thanks to its density, it withstands natural pet behaviors such as kneading and scratching without tearing.
Minor surface irregularities or subtle color variations may appear over time. These are part of the material’s authentic character and do not affect the shape or durability of the basket. Its structure provides warmth in winter, airflow in summer, and a soft surface your pet will instinctively be drawn to.
