Pet Pillows
My pet pillow making inspiration started in 1996 after adopting a retired racing greyhound named Thayne (pictured here). When I went out to shop for a bed big enough for him to sleep on, I could not find one for under $100! So, I pulled out
 |
my mom’s old sewing machine and thought “I will just make one myself". After many revisions, the beds I make now are the most comfortable and durable. They can be custom made to fit any size.
|
How are they made?
I start by cutting sponge foam into strips and then cut those into one inch square pieces by hand. Covers are made from pre-washed upholstery material and have both a zippered outer cover and inside lining. Double stitched on all seams for durability and all sizes are 4” thick.

Size
Measure the length of your dog when lying flat from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail. Add 5” to the measurement to get the proper length of the bed.

Care
Elaine's Pet Pillows are now made to be 100% wash and dryable! the material used in all beds is pre-washed and dried before cutting. The outside cover can be washed and dried on a regular setting and can be vacuumed in between washings.
The liners are now made with a zipper so you can take the foam cubes out. Just put the cubes in a mesh laundry bag, and run the bag through the washer and dryer. The bags I use are 24 x 36 and it works best when you only fill them 3/4 of the way full. You can fit 2 bags in a regular sized washer and dryer at once, so it will take 2 loads to do a large bed. The foam will float, so make sure when your washing cycle starts, you push the foam down so it's completely covered by the water. It comes out like brand new! You can now purchase a new liner separate to update your old bed. After washing, make sure the corners of the pillow are aligned with the corners of the cover to get it to re-stuff properly.
Going Green
We are doing our part for the environment and to keep prices low by:
1) Using recycled foam and scrap pieces from various local upholstery shops like Gene Sanes.
2) Buying fabric remnants.
3) Making bed liners out of gently used sheets.
Pet Pillows come in a large variety of colors, patterns and
different types of upholstery materials as well as fuzzy fleece. Please call or email me to see what is currently in stock. Match your furniture, your dog or just get crazy!
