The story so far…

For over a decade I have struggled to settle Zulu in a cafe or restaurant without sacrificing my jacket, sitting her on my lap or dragging in a huge bed (towels and blankets are not enough for Zulu!)

It seems I am not the only one…

Many dogs, especially if they have a short coat struggle to settle on a hard floor. Others just need to have a place to settle. Toy breeds can get away with sitting on your lap, but I’ve tried eating dinner with Zulu on my lap and it’s not pretty!

After many ‘testing’ cafe trips and a few jackets sacrificed I decided something had to be done and Nestbedz was launched.

Inspired by a night wild camping I based my design on a super lightweight, tough, packable sleeping bag.

I researched the fabrics, chatted to someone locally who I knew was great with a sewing machine (Nienke, Vanderas) and got the first few made.

A bit of market research proved there is a place in the market for the product and Nestbedz was launched…🎉
