When your dog looks for any patch of cool floor space to escape summer heat, we understand the struggle. That’s why we embarked on a mission to create the ultimate solution for overheated pups: the Pelsbarn Cooling Sofa Bed. Today, we’re inviting you to peek behind the scenes and see exactly how this game-changing product was born.

The Problem: Finding Lasting Relief from Overheating

We kept hearing from dog owners across the country:

  • Overheating during scorching summer days

  • Difficulty finding non-toxic, long-lasting cooling solutions

  • Desire for portability and aesthetic appeal to fit modern living spaces

  • Our goal was simple: Combine cooling technology with a cozy, stylish design that keeps pups comfortable anytime, anywhere.

The Creative Process: Turning Ideas into Reality

1. Inspiration & Research

We surveyed hundreds of dog owners to uncover their biggest heat-related challenges. This inspired our design team to start sketching a bed that was as functional as it was stylish.

2. Material Discovery

We tested dozens of fabrics, searching for one that naturally draws away heat without chemicals or freezing. Finally, we found ice silk fabric that stays cool on contact.

3. Prototyping & Testing

Early prototypes went through real-life dog trials, from tiny

Chihuahuas to large Labradors. Feedback guided us on everything from bed shape and thickness to edge height and traction underneath.
