Whatever is used for a dog or cat bed has to be laundered with bleach and machine dried between every animal's using them. Pillows would be lumpy and not dry very well.

We have a wall of shelves full of regular pet beds, all sizes, that get donated by people, and they can be washed. And another wall of shelves full of pet sized blankets that are donated or made by girl scouts and other groups.
