ABOUT SAKURA'S BEDS
Sakura has loved her special beds for years.
One side of her specialty bed is made of cotton (with custom designed embroidery), and the other side is faux sherpa fleece. The sherpa fleece side of these beds will help to keep any guinea pig comfy and dry, while providing a padded place to nap. Each time the bed is washed, the sherpa fleece becomes “bunchier”.

Super Mat Beds fit nicely under a Pigloo or other sleeping hut, with room to spare. They are useful in the travel carrier, and give extra protection from relaxing in damp areas in any area of the cage. Sakura enjoyed snoozing on top of her Super Mat Bed, and using a second one as a blanket!

​
Puffy Beds make nice, cushiony pillows and beds for your guinea pig, and are just the right size for any area of your guinea pig’s cage and travel carrier. Puffy Beds are made with high-loft batting. Sakura particularly enjoyed resting on her Puffy Beds!
About Mat Beds

Mat Beds are useful in those favorite eating and sleeping spots areas of your guinea pig’s cage, and give extra protection from relaxing in damp areas. Mat Beds are made with regular-loft batting, for a cushiony, mat-like appearance. They fit easily inside a cuddle cup as a liner, and are handy below water bottles in the cage.
ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Traci, and my mother taught me how to sew on her old Singer sewing machine.
The idea of making guinea pig beds popped into my head one day while I was shopping for pet supplies and wasn’t able to find any piggy beds in the colors or patterns that would match our C&C cage. Miss Ginny and Miss Sakura (our guinea pigs) enjoyed their little homemade Mat Beds very much. I created a version of a larger piggy bed for my nephews’ sweet guy, Smoothie. Not long after that, I had an opportunity to donate some beds for the 2008 Guinea Lynx Auction to raise money for guinea pig rescues. I wanted to make these beds unique, so I digitized a piece of special machine embroidery to decorate the beds.
The guinea pig embroidery was a hit. I named my embroidery design JinJin, and he became my mascot and logo.
After the auction, I had some requests to make and sell guinea pig beds. Though I wasn’t quite ready to sell beds, I continually donated them to the Guinea Lynx auctions and made some special Puffy Beds for the very first Bay Area Pignic. Other guinea pig rescues received beds as donations as well.​
Currently, I make three styles of beds and occasionally offer embroidered bookmarks, magnets, tunnels, and even personalized Super Mat Beds as well. I still send donation beds to the Bay Area Pignic. My most popular item sells around the Christmas season: the Santa Cavy Stocking!
After all, who doesn’t need a tiny stocking embroidered with a guinea pig wearing a Santa hat?
