A pressed felt ring. A bed on top, a tunnel through the middle.
Cats do not choose between sleeping and hiding. They want both, usually within a minute of each other, and this is one object that answers both without becoming two objects in the room.
The wall is thick pressed felt, dense enough to hold the ring open on its own. No frame, no stuffing, no plastic. The dish on top is deep enough to curl into; the passage through the middle is dark enough to matter.
It folds flat when it is not wanted, which is rare.
Felt holds furIt also holds a shape, which is the trade. Go over it with a lint roller or a vacuum brush every week or two and it stays looking like an object rather than a pet bed.

Living with it
Where to put it
Against a wall rather than in the middle of a floor. A tunnel with a wall at one end reads as shelter; one with open air at both ends reads as a corridor, and cats treat the two differently.
Cleaning
Spot clean with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before it is used again. Do not machine wash the whole piece — pressed felt loses its structure when it is soaked, and the ring will not stand up again.
From the founder
I bought it for the shape and assumed the cat would ignore it. She was inside it before I had finished unpacking the box.
