The Plufl is everyone’s favorite place to nap. Dogs have it made with the plush beds we buy for them to laze around in all day. Finally, there’s a human-dog bed called the Plufl, and it just might be the best place ever to take a nap.
After learning about the Plufl and seeing images of blissed-out owners curled up in its cozy embrace, I decided I had to have one. The $299 beige Plufl arrived in a large box with simple instructions for assembly. After stuffing two unwieldy, noodle-shaped side pillows into the plush case and sliding an oval memory foam mattress into place between them, I zipped up the ends and it was time to Plufl.
The Plufl is a very popular place to be in my house. It is somewhere between a bean bag chair, a hammock, and a plush bed, and it’s the most comfortable piece of furniture I own. The shape provides a built-in headrest, footrest, and a full circle of crevice to wedge your hands and feet into for tactile comfort and security. It’s meant for lounging or napping, but you could easily deploy it as a spare bed for a not-so-tall houseguest. One problem you’ll have with the Plufl is that a quick rest can turn into an hours-long nap without warning.
The plush human-dog bed comes in two sizes and four colors. It’s made from soft polyester plush fabric that doesn’t itch, irritate, and breathes better than most polyester. It sports a medium firm and comfy memory foam bottom. The Plufl cradles you gently but doesn’t swallow you whole.
As much as I want a Plufl in every room, it doesn’t exactly jive with the rest of my home’s decor. Therein lies the one glaring problem with Plufl: where exactly to put it. I’m still not sure which room the Plufl will live in, but I know it’s not leaving the house. The bed is fairly heavy at 25 pounds and oddly shaped, but sewn-in handles make it easy enough to drag from room to room. Though you wouldn’t want to move it regularly up and down stairs.
You can purchase the human-dog bed for $299 ($399 for the larger size) on Amazon or Plufl’s website. The Plufl is a unique and comfortable piece of furniture that is sure to become everyone’s favorite place to nap.
