A large cat bed can have a substantial outer footprint and a smaller sleeping area inside its bolster. Compare the area your cat actually rests on, not only the overall length.
Look for inner measurements
Check whether the listing describes the cushion, outer frame or clear space between raised sides. Keep these labels attached to the numbers in your comparison.
Consider sleeping position
A curled sleeper and a cat that stretches along a sofa may use different bed shapes. Choose the sleeping surface first, then confirm that the complete bed fits the intended corner.
