Abstract
A pet bed having a pet cushion for supporting a pet has a lower cushion for improving comfort when held on one's lap. Between the pet cushion and the lower cushion is an intermediate planar layer made of a stiff material. The pet cushion rests on or is affixed to a top surface of the intermediate planar layer and the top surface of the lower cushion is affixed or removably affixed to a bottom surface of the intermediate layer. When lifting or carrying the pet bed, the intermediate planar layer remains substantially planar, even while a pet rests on the pet surface of the pet cushion.
Claims14
A pet bed comprising:
- a pet cushion, the pet cushion having a pet surface and a bottom surface, the pet surface of the pet cushion providing a surface for supporting a pet;
- a lower cushion, the lower cushion having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the lower cushion providing a surface for supporting the pet bed;
- an intermediate planar layer, the intermediate planar layer being made of a stiff material, the bottom surface of the pet cushion affixed to a top surface of the intermediate planar layer and the top surface of the lower cushion affixed to a bottom surface of the intermediate planar layer;
- and
- two handles, a first handle of the two handles is affixed to a first area of an outer edge of the intermediate planar layer, a second handle of the two handles affixed to a second area of an outer edge of the intermediate planar layer, the first area being on a distal edge of the intermediate planar layer with respect to the second area, and the two handles continue around a perimeter of the pet cushion, thereby forming walls around the perimeter of the pet cushion;
- wherein the intermediate planar layer remains substantially planar while the pet rests on the pet surface of the pet cushion.
