Making Pet Beds From Mattress Toppers or Crib Bumpers

Take the crib bumpers and fold and layer them to the size bed you want to make or cut a mattress topper to the size of the pet bed you want to make. I had an old memory foam topper that was cut to make quite a few pet beds. Then I took an old sheet and made a cover for the bed.

I sewed the cover on all sides. This was a way to protect the pads or topper. Lastly I made a fleece pillowcase to fit over the sheet covered pet bed. I put a large snap on the end of the case. The pillowcase cover can easily be removed for cleaning, and the sheet cover protects it as well.
