Cats spend most of the day asleep, and many of them spend it on your bed. Choosing bedding for a cat household is mostly about three things: hair, claws and washing.
Hair
Cat hair is fine and static-prone, so it clings to fleece, microfibre and jersey. A smooth sateen weave, such as Furify's bamboo viscose, lets it sit on top where a shake or a damp glove removes it. Brushing your cat a few times a week removes far more hair than any bedding trick.
Claws
Kneading with extended claws can pull threads in any smooth fabric. Three habits prevent most damage: keep claws trimmed, put a washable throw or folded blanket on the cat's chosen spot, and offer a scratching surface near the bed. Snags in viscose can be trimmed flush; never pull them.
Washing
Weekly sheets, twice-weekly pillowcases, and the throw whenever it looks furry. Cold wash, mild detergent, low tumble dry. Skip fabric softener; it reduces the hair-release effect. If your cat has hairballs, treat spots with cold water and enzyme cleaner before washing.
Colour
Match the sheet to the coat: charcoal for black cats, white or champagne for white cats, mint or dove gray for tabbies and gingers. More in our colour guide.
Which set
If the cat owns the duvet, the duvet set is the piece to upgrade first. If the cat sleeps on the pillows, start with the sheet set, which includes two pillowcases. The complete set covers everything.
Frequently asked
Will my cat pull threads in bamboo sheets?
Only with extended claws while kneading. A throw on their spot and regular trimming prevents it.
Can I use the dryer?
Yes, on low. Take the sheets out slightly damp and smooth them flat.
