The Koda Pod and Velvet Nest offer different resting layouts: a tent-style hideaway and an open rectangular plush bed with raised sides. Compare your cat’s resting preferences and the usable space in the selected option before choosing.
The Koda Pod: a sheltered resting option
The Koda Pod has a tent-style form with an open front entrance. It may be worth considering if your cat already chooses covered places to rest and can comfortably use the opening.
The current catalogue contains conflicting Koda Pod size and scratching-surface details. Confirm the dimensions, entrance size and finish of the exact option with Giant Paws before ordering. Do not choose it on the assumption that a particular interior or roof surface is included, or that it will replace a separate scratcher.
The Velvet Nest: an open bed with raised sides
The Velvet Nest’s current listing gives four overall dimensions: 50 × 45 × 15 cm, 64 × 53 × 17 cm, 76 × 61 × 18 cm and 90 × 68 × 21 cm. Raised sides reduce the space available inside, so those figures are not measurements of the usable sleeping area.
Compare the interior length and width with your cat’s preferred curled or stretched resting position. Check the height of the entry point too: an open bed is not automatically easy to enter for every cat. The largest size does not guarantee a full stretch for every Maine Coon.

Choose from observation, not the breed label
Notice where your cat rests, how it enters that space and whether it changes position while sleeping. A cat may use both open and covered places, but there is no need to buy both products to find a suitable first option. Keep familiar resting places available while introducing something new.
Browse the beds and comfort collection and use the size guide to compare the details that matter for your cat. Request missing measurements before purchase rather than using overall dimensions as a promise of fit.
