Cage mat 100x40cm
Soft mat for cage, terrarium or enclosure. Features: minky material with quick-drying properties.
Bedding for the delicate paws of rodents, pygmy hedgehogs and rabbits
Are you looking for an alternative to bathroom mats and bedding in the cage of your guinea pigs or rabbits? Do you see your rodents getting cold in their enclosure, resulting in them not getting the most out of it? The double-sided Cage Liner mat from the DOT collection will solve these problems! The materials used in it will not only add to the beauty of the room, but will also last for many washes without losing softness, stability or colour.
Something for everyone
We have sewn the mat from two materials with slightly different properties - you can see which one your pets like better and change sides whenever you feel like it. The layer in shades of grey is DOT - a fabric made up of thousands of micro bristles that form small balls. It is a stretchy but durable fabric that does not lose threads and does not wrinkle even after many washings.
The other, coloured side has been sewn from high-grade Minky fleece. We know that a small animal bedding needs to be multi-resistant, long-lasting and at the same time pleasant to the touch - this is exactly what Minky is. Its piping, which holds its shape for a long time, wraps little paws and ensures good airflow. The material can be cleaned in the blink of an eye - on a daily basis, simply rinse it under running water to keep it looking like new. It retains its vibrant colours and all its properties even after washing.
Soft filling and safe finish
The mat is filled with a thicker-than-standard upholstery padding. It is particularly comfortable due to its softness and air permeability. The elastic padding maintains the shape of the mat, preventing the mat from sliding into a corner of the cage or enclosure. You can wash it at low temperatures without worry. We have sewn everything together with thick upholstery thread, and thanks to the careful workmanship, your pets will not find any dangerous protruding seams on the mat.

Question:Can the mats be customized to fit non-standard cage sizes?
Answer: Yes, we offer the possibility to customize mats for non-standard cage sizes. Contact us to discuss the details and obtain a quote.
Question: Can the mats be machine washed?
Answer: They can be machine washed, but we recommend using a gentle washing cycle. Hand washing can help maintain the mat's appearance for longer.
Question: Do mats change their size with usage?
Answer: Over time and with washing, mats might slightly reduce in size. This is a normal occurrence that doesn't significantly affect the mat's functionality.
Question: How do mats differ from DryBeds?
Answer: Mats can be machine washed and do not require combing. There's no need to use sanitary pads or bedding under mats. Dry Beds allow liquids to pass through to the other side, while the mat retains them.
Question: Do the mats stay dry after contact with urine?
Answer: Mats are made of fabric, and every fabric needs time to dry after contact with urine. Mats made of minky material tend to dry the quickest. Mats are not equivalent to sanitary pads.
Question: What is the role of the hydrophobic coating on the material?
Answer: The hydrophobic coating causes liquids to stay on the surface of the material for a certain period, preventing quick absorption.
Question: How do Pet Friendly mats differ from standard ones?
Answer: Pet Friendly mats are coated with a hydrophobic layer and a layer that inhibits the penetration of fur and dirt into the fabric. This makes them easier to keep clean, which is essential for pet care.
Question: Can the mats replace a litter box?
Answer: Mats do not replace litter boxes; they serve as an additional element to provide a comfortable resting place and protection against accidents. A litter box is still necessary for maintaining hygiene.
Question: How can a waterproof bottom of the mat help?
Answer: A waterproof bottom of the mat is useful when additional protection against mat spills is needed. It is particularly helpful when housing multiple animals in a small space or when an animal tends to urinate in one spot.
Question: I see many nice cage photos where mats are successfully used. How can I maintain such order in my pet's cage?
Answer: The key is the size of the cage. The larger it is and the more freedom the animals have to move around, the easier it is to maintain order. Many people divide the cage or enclosure into two sections: one for play and relaxation, and the other for eating and fulfilling the pet's physiological needs. A highly absorbent bedding is placed in the latter area to effectively protect the floor from getting dirty.
