Cuddlenest
 

Hi all,

We have four Yorkies and they love the Cuddlenest. It is funny to watch them play to see who gets in one first. We have purchased four just so they each have one. They are made of high quality faux fur and are of the best quality.

We also have the Bandiboo that is made by the same company. Our little guy has not been neutered and he has a habit of lifting his leg. The Bandiboo is a great product to keep him from soiling the house.

Hi!

Figured it would maybe help some if I posted here. My mom is the owner of FireFish Designs and I'm her daughter!

The Cuddlenests she makes- make no mistake- are worth the money. The faux furs are often mistaken as real. I know, I have a purse made of one and made the mistake of taking it out in public. People were drawn to it and wouldn't stop touching the fur!!! (I should add that a few PETA types were DISPLEASED with me until I showed them the backing of the fur, haha... 100% faux!)

The thing is, the faux furs she uses are such a high quality that they have a price that matches! The fur isn't the same crunchy stuff you can find just anywhere. They're not like anything I had ever seen before.

I suggest that, if you think the beds are just a bit expensive, you try just one in a plain color to see if you like it. If you machine wash and air dry it, I think you'll find it lasts a VERY long time. I have some of her first prototypes and my yorkie, Roxy, is still as attached to those as the newer ones. We have a lot of new retailers, too: some I've just added recently, so maybe you guys have one close, and you can go feel them and decide for yourselves!

Hope that helps!

This is the only place I could even find that had prices listed - and they're on SALE!!! I've wanted one of these for the last 2 years but could never find anywhere that carried them. Check them out

Go to Welcome to FireFish Designs: Big ideas for tiny dogs! - Retailers throughout the country are shown on the website. You can always contact Nicki directly should you be in an area that does not have a retail store. Her email address is shown on the site.:)

I made Ellie two of them. One for the crate at night that she sleeps in and one for her during the day. She loves it. The fabric is what makes it so high.

Ugh, why did I see this? The last thing I need is more beds but this looks scrumptious! I have 5 beds and Gracie and Spike only use one and only every now and then since they prefer to lay on the furniture. That leaves 4 that are only used by Sugar so another bed is not exactly something I desperately need. Hmmm... Can I resist? Doubtful.:D

One thing about them- I put mine on the furniture where I want Rox to sit, so she's not splayed out all over my couch or chair (she will take over fast)... Also, since she sleeps with me in my bed, it keeps her confined and protected from me and my flailing, haha.

I *think* that YT members usually get a discount on the Cuddle Nest (15%, I think?) - at least, that's what they told TammyJM when she bought one.

SillyJacki...totally envious of your familial access to these ADORABLE beds. :)

Would you mind posting their response? That might be the final push I need.:D

hmm thinking about he chinchilla one for Mimi hehe

Hmmm...I understood that all YT members received a discount on the beds. Was your bed already on sale?

I want one..thanks fo sharing everyone!!!!!! Bailey will LOVE it!

I think instead of getting them from Firefish designs directly, she ordered through the retailer's link listed where they are being offered at quite a discount (from $75 down to $40) already: "Washable luxe-quality, faux fur pet bed for dog and cats." (The link doesn't seem to be working but it is in the post from cj125.

I'm not sure what the deal is :). Hopefully TammyJM will see this bc she bought one for somewhere around 40 dollars, I thought, and received a discount bc she was a YT member. I think she bought directly from Firefish, but I could be wrong. Tammy Tammy Tammy? :D

Let me see what I can find out from my mom... Maybe some retailers have a deal with YTers. I'm not exactly sure but I will definitely ask!

Please find out if we can get discounts pwease! If so I will def buy one..!! Mimi wants one bad! hehe:D

Ok I have talked to her!

My mom, FireFish, is going to offer the beds at 20% off suggested retail price to all YT members from now until June 15th. Normally, she doesn't offer those kinds of specials but I begged :).

ANYWAY, as soon as I get the paypal info I will post details on how to order.

For now, here is what you need to decide on:

There are TWO types of beds and 3 levels of furs. The two types of beds are the small, which is 15" and fits my 4lb yorkie with room to spare, and the 19" bed, which fits two small yorkies or one guy in the 7lb and up range. (That's MY guesstimate, though, so I'd measure your dog for best results).

If you go to CuddleNest, there is a set of buttons on the left side of the page. Choose your preferred size to see the fur options. These are the most current furs, and she carries them all. Some retailers only choose to carry this color or that color...

So, on the 15" fur option page, you can see that we have "Standard" furs, which are plain colors, Premium furs, which are faux animal prints, and black label furs, which are the most expensive/difficult to get and also are animal prints.

The prices are:
Standard fur, 15" bed- Retail: $42.00. YT Discount: $33.60
Premium fur, 15" bed- Retail: $45.00. YT Discount: $36
Black label fur, 15" bed- Retail: $55.00 YT Discount: $44

Standard fur, 19" bed- Retail: $58.00 YT Discount: $46.40
Premium fur, 19" bed- Retail: $60.00. YT Discount: $48
Black label fur, 19" bed- Retail: $70.00 YT Discount: $56

Ok, hope that helps. I'm off to grab dinner but I will check back on the thread and let you know about any questions. I suggest the ebony or chocolate if you're just not into buying a Premium one. My fave of the premiums are the snow owl... Hot hot hot!

yay! Thats a great deal!. My baby is 4.2 lbs. but she likes to lie with her feet stretched out. will the 15" one let her do that? and which is softer the chinchilla powder one or the sno owl?

also how much is shippping?

how soft are the standard fur. like rabbit fur or rougher?

It's a 15" diameter, so it depends on how "leggy" your baby is. Roxy can stretch out in hers, which are all 15" and she's about that size.

Shipping varies from person to person. They're sent via USPS Priority Mail, and she only charges the exact price that she gets charged. Most places charge a blanket amount and keep the extra, but she doesn't. It's normally around $10 but never more than $15.

They're softer than faux furs you can buy at craft stores, but I'm not sure about Rabbit fur or how soft it is. This stuff is definitely smooth and soft, though. I'm trying to think of a good comparison, but the only real fur I've ever touched is raccoon, and this is softer than that. There's no waxy shiny finish on the fur, it's all fluffy and matte.

Oh, for the second part of the question, I think the snow owl is softer to the touch, but the powder chinchilla looks softer.

That would be so great if you could post ordering info with paypal!! :)
