Crate Mats

Play Pet Brands’ collection of crate pads and pillow beds allow your dog or cat to unwind and relax. From crate to car your pet is sure to love it!

Why Add a Crate Mat?

Crate mats, also known as cage mats or kennel beds, provide comfort and warmth for your dog inside their crate. At Play Pet Brands, our signature Chill Pads are the perfect option.

Benefits of Using a Mat in a Dog Crate

A quality crate mattress adds a layer or protection between your pet’s joints and the floor. They are usually used while your dog sleeps/rests, either at night or when you’re away from home.

If you’re currently trying to crate train your dog, especially a puppy, adding a cushion for them to rest on will help them feel more comfortable and increase the chances of successful training.

Travel Benefits

They’re also perfect for a long car ride or a quick day out! The Outdoor Chill Pad actually features a built-in carrying handle and roll-up design for easy travel. You can roll up and secure other thin crate mats with a dedicated blanket strap or DIY one made using old belts…maybe some chewed ones that your pup got a hold of?

How to Choose the Right Crate Mattress Size

When choosing a crate mat, be sure to measure your intended crate, car seating area, or other special spot where you want the pad to live. Our Chill Pads are designed to fit most standard pet crates.

Measure and Observe Your Pet While Asleep

Please note that the weight recommendations should be considered a loose guideline. With so many different breeds and body types, it's best to put the most thought into the dimensions by considering your pet’s favorite sleeping style and measuring your pet while he or she is sleeping comfortably for the best fit. When in doubt, we recommend ordering a size up.

Eco-Friendly Crate Beds Made with Quality Materials

Our Chill Pads are also filled with the perfect amount and density of high-loft PlanetFill® filler. Our eco-conscious PlanetFill® filler is made from 100% post-consumer certified-safe recycled plastic bottles. They are made in a facility that meets the strict quality standards for infant and children products.

Washer and Dryer Friendly for Easy Care

All of our crate cushions are quick to clean in case of accidents or debris. Just throw it in the washer and then the dryer! Read our full care instructions here.

Crate Mat FAQs

How should a crate mat fit?

A crate mat should be snug and secure, but not so large that it curls up around the edge of the crate.

Can puppies use crate mats?

Yes, puppies can use crate mats. However, for very young puppies, it may be best to keep the crate bare or use an absorbent pee pad while they are still potty training.

Is a mat suitable for dogs that chew?

It depends! All of our crate mat options are made zipper-free to reduce the risk of tearing if your dog is a chewer. Like with any pet product, be sure to keep an eye on your dog when possible.

How do you prevent mold and mildew under a dog crate mat?

To prevent mold and mildew from growing underneath your crate bed, be sure to check the bottom of the mat regularly, especially if the crate is located in a particular moist or humid environment. If you notice the beginnings of mold or mildew, wash the mat right away.

Can I use it in a wire crate or travel crate?

Yes, our mats can be used with a wide variety of rectangular crates. Just be sure to measure it beforehand.

Is it a good option for senior dogs?

Yes, crate mats can be helpful for senior dogs, since they protect their joints from the hard cage floor.
