A sofa cushion for your pet can give your dog or cat a soft spot on the sofa while helping protect it from hair, dirt and scratches. However, not every design works well in practice. A cushion may slide out of place when your dog jumps up, turn out to be too small for your cat’s favourite lounging position or be difficult to clean.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I focus on features you can check for yourself: dimensions, materials, fastenings and care requirements. That way, you can avoid paying just for an attractive print or a soft first impression.
A plush pet cushion feels comfortable, but that doesn’t tell you how well it will stay put on your sofa. Without a non-slip layer, it may slide around when your pet jumps, turns or plays. That’s inconvenient for your pet and can also leave the upholstery exposed to hair and dirt.
Look for an anti-slip sofa cushion with a base that makes plenty of contact with the seat. A drawstring or strap can provide extra security if your sofa has smooth upholstery.
A dog sofa cushion measuring 85 cm, for example, may sound spacious, but its width and thickness also affect whether your pet can stretch out or curl up. Measure not only your dog or cat, but also the part of the sofa where you plan to place the cushion.
Remember to allow for:
A 70 × 61 × 14 cm model is more suited to a cat or small dog. According to the product information, a 95 × 85 × 16 cm version is designed for medium to larger pets.
“Washable” doesn’t always mean you can put the entire cushion in the washing machine. Sometimes only the cover is machine washable. So check the care instructions, recommended cycle and drying method.
For a washable dog cushion, a gentle wash cycle, mild detergent and thorough drying are important. Damp filling can start to smell unpleasant. In between washes, remove hair with a vacuum cleaner or lint roller. If the model has drawstrings, check the seams and fastenings regularly too.
Polyester-cotton and plush or sherpa are often used in this product category to create a warm, soft place to rest. According to FUNNYFUZZY’s product information, the sofa cushions listed are made from polyester-cotton and plush fabric. These materials provide a comfortable surface, but whether the cushion is suitable also depends on your pet’s behaviour.
A cat that likes to nest may prefer a soft raised edge. A dog that moves around a lot will benefit most from a stable base and plenty of space. Check the cushion regularly for loose seams, tears or exposed filling. Stop using it if it’s damaged.
A non-slip layer is useful on smooth sofas. If you have an active dog, a drawstring or strap can also come in handy. Make sure the fastening is secure and isn’t left hanging loose. If your pet likes to chew, it’s best to supervise them when they first use the cushion.
Pay attention to where you place it, too: set the cushion on a flat, dry surface and keep it away from flames and high temperatures. These instructions are included in the product information for the FUNNYFUZZY models mentioned.
A cat sofa cushion doesn’t need to be the same size as a sofa cushion for a dog or cat. A 70 × 61 cm cushion may be big enough for a small cat or dog. For a medium-sized dog or two small pets, a 85 × 72 cm size may be more practical.
Measure your sofa before ordering. Check that the cushion won’t hang over the edge and that there will still be room for the rest of the family. If you want to protect as much of the sofa as possible from hair, stains and scratches, choose a model that covers the relevant seat area generously.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Place the sofa cushion for your pet with the non-slip side facing down, and smooth out any creases before your pet settles on it. Wash the cover or cushion according to the care label. Let it dry thoroughly before putting it back on the sofa.
Check the following every week:
If your pet likes to chew, it’s a good idea to supervise them during their first few uses. Replace a damaged cushion to prevent your pet from swallowing any filling.
Measure your dog lying down from nose to the base of the tail, and allow extra room for turning around. Compare this with the cushion’s internal dimensions. Measure your sofa seat too, to make sure the dog sofa cushion sits securely and doesn’t hang over the edge.
No. Check whether the whole cushion or just the cover is washable. Pay attention to the wash cycle, temperature and drying instructions. If the model has a non-washable inner core, keep the filling dry and clean the cover only.
Choose a model with a non-slip base and place it on a flat part of the sofa. A drawstring can provide extra security. Check regularly that it’s firmly fastened and out of reach of a cat that might chew it.
