Your kitty cat deserves her own spot to curl up and call her own. Whether it is a quick cat nap or a comfortable night's sleep, your cat will sleep in peace on a Bumper Bed®.

You'll also be happy to know that each bed is filled with our own IntelliLoft® 100% recycled polyfill, making the bed a heaven of cushion and eco friendly to the environment by utilizing plastic that would have otherwise gone to a landfill.

How do you make recycled plastic bottles into fabric and fiber fill that is so soft? IntelliLoft® is clean, safe, re-engineered PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) polymer material that is a win/win for our customers and the environment! By recycling existing PETE polymer material we are reducing energy use, while at the same time,keeping plastic bottles out of our landfills. Creating products that use IntelliLoft® recycled material can use up to 8 times less energy than it takes to manufacture the same material new.

This size Bumper Bed used 28.6 bottles to make!


The twill fabric cover was carefully chosen for its durability and is brushed for added softness. Zippered opening allows for quick washes of the covers or deep cleaning by washing the entire bed - everything is machine washable for easy maintenance!

The bed you are bidding on is 23x19x7 inches and will fit kittens to large cats.
When ordering the bed I had to pick the Bolster and Center Pillow colors. This particular bed is Jungle Pillow and Putty Bolster. I do not have a photo of the bed at hand, so here are the images used to pick the colors so you can see what it may look like.

Sadly this is on it's way but me or Dave do not know where it is at the mo.  :(  Dave sent it on the 6th Dec and it norm takes  10 days to get to me from USA, but the tracking with USPS is still showing up as "no record of this item" .  I have confirmed the correct shipping tracking number and have proof Dave has posted on the 6th. 

So it's somehere on route but i don't know when it will arrive until USPS scan it in. It was sent Priority mail so should not take longer than 10 days!

Dave has contacted USPS to trace where the box is and we are waiting for them to get back to us.

An international update  :wow:

Gill,
Yes, it is. However the box began to show on tracking Thursday last week.  Last known info was "Your item left the United States from ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) at 8:22 pm on December 16, 2010". Since it is airmail and it left the US then, it has to have arrived in the UK Friday. I am assuming that it has not been scanned in at customs there yet, or it has and is not showing. :/ Hopefully it arrives very soon.

Tan's away so I am covering shop and enquiries. This item is in with the shop stock.
Parcelforce have emailed this am, the shipment has finally been scanned in at the Coventry parcelforce hub and is in UK Customs awaiting charging.
Normally takes 2 days to pass customs, we pay them, they send to us within two days after so expecting delivery about Weds 5th.

I have put a notice on the shop front.

Tan is back hopefully this weekend so will ship this item when it gets here.
Thank you

I don't suppose there are any updates for where this is? I keep telling Benji he will have a new comfy bed that he can fit in (instead of squeezing into the kittens one) but I think he is starting to doubt me lol

I'm really looking forward to Riley's new sherpa collar - does that make me sadder?  :evillaugh:

yey!! Is the bed nice? Can't wait! I mean...Benji can't wait  ;D

Are there going to be pictures of Riley in his new fancy collar? :)
Title: Re: Eco-Friendly Bumper Bed (from Big Sky Country)! This is a wonderful bed!
Post by: Tiggy's Mum on January 11, 2011, 17:13:31 PM
The bed looks very cosy and not to mention pretty stylish... therefore it is almost a foregone conclusion that Benji will ignore it in favour of a dusty old piece of plywood  :evillaugh:

As for pics of Riley, there might just be a picture or two when it comes :naughty:

Yeah! I am glad you got the bed! I am so sorry for the wait. *sigh* You have to hate international mail sometimes. ;) I hope you like the bed!

CCC - it's JenGeorgieBob who won the bed, I was just posting that (the picture) looked stylish and comfy so her cat would probably ignore it!  :evillaugh:

I know Tan posted it yesterday but not sure if it's arrived yet...
Title: Re: Eco-Friendly Bumper Bed (from Big Sky Country)! This is a wonderful bed!
Post by: JenGeorgieBob on January 13, 2011, 09:42:59 AM
is not here yet, but the post man doesn't get here until 2 most days. You are quite right, it will probably be ignored and Benji will sit on the hard floor or squeeze into the kitten bed still...at least it will look nice! hehe. The first cat that sits in it will be photographed and on here!!!

Looking forward to the pics of Riley in his fancy collar, The pictures you take of him are works of art!

Post by: JenGeorgieBob on January 16, 2011, 17:33:07 PM
It has arrived!!!! a sunday delivery from the postman which was left with a neighbour :)
It has been here a matter of minutes and Fred is testing its durability by rolling around in it, attacking it (as it is so deep, he seems to enjoy sticking his paws in and attacking) and generally having a good chew at it, lol. He is now inviting Benji to play squirmy attack the bed games, lol.
It is lovely and deep!!! and I think Benji will fit in in!
********breaking news, as I type, Benji has kicked Fred out of the bed and seems to be making himself comfortable  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D will get camera out tomorrow and do some pictures
Thanks so much guys, the bed is lovely
