My Favorite Napping Spot: An Unusual Piece of Furniture

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.
