CSN Stores Review: Snuggler Cat Bed

For the opportunity to win a $60 gift certificate from CSN Stores, visit Blessedmom's Simple Home.

Recently, I was given the opportunity to do a review of any item at CSN Stores. There were so many things to chose from that it was difficult. In the end I decided to keep my kitty from getting cat hair on our clean clothes. She loves to hop in the basket right after the clothes come out of the dryer. 

After looking at the many different styles and types of cat beds I decided to try this one:

When we got it delivered by UPS we were all rushing to rip open the box! The cat obviously didn't care that what was inside was for her. We took it out and were amazed at how soft it was. By this time the cat wanted to know what we were all messing with. She loves boxes and this came in a large box with a cardboard inside the cat bed to help it retain its shape. 

We wanted the cat to try out her new bed- she didn't want to! We finally bribed her into it with some cat treats. She looked so funny; she made sure her hind legs were not in the bed and she could make a quick get away. We tried to get her to like it, we really did. But she was having none of it. Nope.

Okay, so I thought well, we'll try again later- bribe her with her dinner if we had to! Later in the day we were all sitting quietly and suddenly realized that the kitty wasn't around.Where was she? She sometimes likes to go where she isn't allowed so we went in search. We looked and looked...but couldn't find her in her usual places. We gathered back in the living room and were still unsure where she might be. 

Bet you can guess where she was...

The photo I took doesn't portray the cat bed in all of its magnificence. I really like this bed! It is so soft. The cushion that the kitty is laying on is reversible, with the opposite being lined with mircotec fiber (it reminds me of sherpa but maybe even softer). The outer shell is faux suede (super soft too!) and lined with the same mircotec as the cushion's underside. The shell has what feels like thick, firm foam to help it hold it's shape. In my photo the kitty bed looks like we've had it for quite a while. Actually, I think that someone tried to set the cat on top of the bed...which caused it to warp like you see.

I love this thing. I think I like it more than the cat ;) Too bad I can't fit in there...

Bottomline:

For the cost, I think this is reasonable ($28.95) and the quality is good. The shipping time was average. I would definitely recommend this product- and CSN Stores- to others!

What are you in the market for?

Does that sound funny? It reminds me of an old-time saying....but it might not be. I don't know. Anyway, I'm always in the market for something. I search online all the time for random things, like console tables (I like this one!)

or maps would love to have this one!) 

or dinnerware (some additions to my Pfaltzgraff) 

or whiteboards (can never have too many?). I cannot find things like these where I live generally. 

My town is in a time-warp I think ;) We have things that are upwards of 20 years old! Hey, that might be a good thing- that'd make them vintage... ;)


Well, off to do some more perusing :)
