If you’ve ever tried to fold laundry with a cat around, you already know the challenge. The second a basket hits the floor, it becomes their spot. They jump in, get comfy, and all of a sudden, you’re working around them instead of getting anything done.
That’s exactly why this CheerHome Cat Basket Bed at Walmart stands out. It gives cats that same enclosed, soft space they’re drawn to, but in a place that’s just for them.
Walmart’s Cat Basket Bed Works for Cats That Gravitate to Laundry Baskets

At $19.99 for the white version, it lands comfortably under $25, making it an easy add-on compared to bulkier cat beds that take up more space and aren’t always used. It also comes in gray and brown, currently on sale for $22.49.
The 18.5 x 18.5-inch size keeps the footprint manageable, whether you’re placing it near a window, beside the couch, or in a corner your cat already gravitates toward. The woven cotton rope construction helps it stay breathable, which can make a difference for cats that avoid overly plush or heat-trapping beds.
Inside, there’s a removable cushion covered with soft cotton that adds warmth and comfort. During the summer months, it can be removed to give your cat a cooler resting spot.
It also has a practical side. If your cat ignores it, or you just need to clear clutter quickly, it works as a toy basket without looking out of place in your home.
Cleaning is easy. Both the cushion and the basket can go in the washing machine after removing pet hair, and they’re designed to hold their shape after washing, which matters if you’re dealing with regular shedding.
Reviews have been positive. One shopper shared, “Very pleased with the construction and the cotton materials used in this cat bed. It is a very nice size for my 12 lb. kitty, and it quickly became his favorite sleeping place. I, however, did add a little cotton blanket on top of the provided pillow to add a little more cushion for him. My kitty loves this well-made, cozy bed!”
If your cat already treats your laundry basket like their personal bed, this gives them a version of their own and lets you keep yours.
