The Plufl is everyone’s favorite place to nap.
There’s a long list of reasons to be envious of dogs, but the cozy plush beds they laze around in are finally on the menu for us. There’s a human-dog bed called the Plufl and anytime I crawl into mine, I can’t seem to get out.
After learning about the Plufl and scanning images of blissed-out owners curled up in the bed-couch-chair’s cozy embrace, I decided I had to have one. Or at least try one — you know, for research. My $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.
What is the Plufl
The XXL Plufl ($399) could be used as a spare guest bed in a pinch.
The Plufl 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 is where Plufl gets its edge, providing a built in headrest, footrest and a full circle of crevice to wedge your hands and feet into for that 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 hourslong nap without warning — even for me, a historically poor sleeper.
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 breaths better than most polyester, and sports a medium firm and comfy memory foam bottom. The Plufl cradles you gently but doesn’t swallow you whole.
The plush Plufl is big enough for you and your furry friend to nap for hours.
It doesn’t exactly scream chic
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 — 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.
