Animal bed assembly

An animal bed for supporting an animal, comprising:

• a body including a bottom member having outer edges, the bottom member defining a surface upon which the animal rests;
• a rigid member including a substantially flat piece of rigid material, wherein the rigid member is disposed next to the bottom member, wherein the rigid member includes one of a mat, a plate, a tray, or a pan, and wherein the rigid member is configured to provide rigidity to the bed;
• a first bolster configured to at least partially form an outer wall of the body that is positioned about a perimeter of the bottom member and extends outwardly from the surface to at least partially define a recessed area for accommodating the animal, wherein the outer wall is coupled to the outer edges of the bottom member;
• a second bolster configured to be at least partially positioned above the first bolster relative to the surface such that the second bolster extends outwardly away from the first bolster and the surface;
• and
• a plurality of straps coupled to and extending at least partially across the bottom member opposite the recessed area;
• wherein each of the plurality of straps is coupled to at least one of the outer edges of the body and has a degree of elasticity configured to hold the rigid member in contact with the bottom member such that the rigid member is removably coupled to the body,
• wherein the second bolster is movable relative to the first bolster between an upright position, in which the second bolster is at least partially positioned above the first bolster relative to the surface, and a substantially flat position, in which the second bolster is positioned substantially beside the first bolster relative to the surface, and
• wherein movement of the second bolster relative to the first bolster from the upright position to the substantially flat position is associated with 90 degrees of rotation relative to the first bolster.
