Ice Cool Summer Mat

Dogs find the coolest spot in the house and commit to it. This gives them a better one than the bathroom floor.

It's a flat mat woven from ice silk fibre — a smooth, breathable fabric that sits cool to the touch. Nothing to plug in, nothing to freeze the night before, no gel to puncture. Unroll it and it works, then it keeps working for as long as summer does.

Five sizes, from one cat on a windowsill to a very large dog taking up an entire hallway.

• Ice silk fibre, smooth and breathable
• No power, no freezer, no charging
• Machine washable
• Five sizes, 30 × 40 cm up to 100 × 150 cm
• Glacier blue

1. Unroll the mat and lay it flat — on the floor, in a crate, over a bed or across a back seat.
2. Smooth out any folds. The fabric works best in full contact with the surface underneath.
3. Machine wash when it needs it. Lay flat to dry.
4. Store it rolled rather than folded, so creases don't set over winter.

Pick the mat by your dog's length, not their weight.

Measure your dog lying on their side, from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail. Choose the size whose long edge is at least that measurement.

• S — 30 × 40 cm
• M — 50 × 70 cm
• L — 70 × 90 cm
• XL — 80 × 120 cm
• XXL — 100 × 150 cm

Between two sizes, take the larger one. A mat with room to spare still gets used; one that's slightly short gets half-used.

Do I need to freeze it or plug it in first?

No. It's a woven fabric mat with no gel, no power and no charging. Take it out of the packaging and use it.

How do I clean it?

It's machine washable. Lay it flat to dry rather than putting it through a dryer.

What colour is it?

Glacier blue, in a solid pattern. It's the only colour available.

Will my cat use it?

It's sold as a dog mat, but the two smallest sizes are cat-sized — 30 × 40 cm and 50 × 70 cm. Whether your cat chooses to lie on it is between you and your cat.
