Trying a Blanket-Mat Combo for Dogs — A Cozy Bed and More!

As I mentioned in a previous post, Louie has been happily using his Monge pet bed. But he often hops onto my bed, lies down until he gets sleepy, and then jumps off. Recently, we received a microfiber blanket-mat combo as a gift—and it turned out to be the perfect solution for those moments. Let me show you why I recommend it.

Why I Recommend This Blanket-Mat Combo as a Dog Bed

Many pet parents know that even with a dog bed, our pups love sleeping on our beds. Louie moves between his Monge bed and mine. While I love the cuddles and that sweet "puppy smell," I often worry I might roll over or bump into him.

That's why I tried laying down towels and other cushions. But after receiving this all-in-one microfiber blanket-mat, I cleared the extras and gave Louie his new designated spot.

It’s made of cotton fabric, with the inner blanket lined with soft microfiber, and it’s sewn as one piece. If your pup tends to steal your blanket, this is a must-have!

Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Design

The blanket is slightly larger than the mat, perfect for covering your dog.
The mat is padded just enough to serve as a soft bed.
It even comes with a pillow area—a cute touch.
The microfiber lining is thin but warm, making it great for all seasons.

What Makes It Different From Other Dog Beds?

It has snap closures and a carry handle, so you can fold and pack it for travel.

And if your dog is picky about their spot (a lot of dogs are), this familiar blanket-mat will help them relax anywhere.

It’s also very lightweight, so it’s convenient to bring along on trips.

How Louie Uses This Blanket-Mat Combo

In the mornings, when I sleep in, he climbs onto the bed and curls up on the mat until I wake up.
He even eats his snacks on it—it’s comfy and familiar.
At night, he flips the blanket and naps until I join him.
When I get into bed, he brings a toy and settles in on the mat to play beside me.

This has quickly become his favorite hangout spot, and I love how easy it is to maintain hygiene, too.

Matching Walk Mat for Outdoor Use

Louie recently had abdominal surgery and is resting at home for now, so I can’t fully show it in use. But here’s what I can tell you:

It’s made from the same cotton fabric on top.
The underside is waterproof, perfect for use at parks or outdoor cafes.
It’s extremely lightweight, so it won’t be a burden on walks.

Final Thoughts

This all-in-one microfiber blanket-mat combo is a fantastic alternative to traditional dog beds—especially if your dog loves snuggling up with your blanket.
Combined with the matching walk mat, it’s also a great travel set.
