Abstract:
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing nestable pet beds which combine a flexible base and sidewall in a design which is readily stackable for compact transport, storage and display. The base and sidewall are cut from foam or other flexible material utilizing straight cuts which can be mass produced. The sidewall is cut along an arc as a unitary piece or as multiple pieces which collectively define an arcuate configuration. Providing an arcuate wall and attaching it in a flat wall to edge relationship with the base achieves a pet bed design with flared walls that can be nested. The relationship between the sidewall and the base causes radial forces to be exerted on the base, creating a concavity and convexity in the base when viewed from its lower and upper surface, respectively. The concavo-convex configuration imparts an aesthetically appealing, fluffy and comfortable appearance to the pet bed.
