The Story Behind Our Handmade Pet Beds
Durable, Handmade Pet Beds by Nikki's Nesties in the UK
Nesties were first created all the way back in 2015, when founder Nikki realised that pet beds would only last around three months. She felt there was a need for beds that were super comfy for her pets, but also very sturdy and would see a pet happy from puppy to senior. Despite only originally making one for herself and a friend, Nikki and her husband Ric now make thousands of Nesties for many happy pets every year. With everything being handmade from start to finish, and all the best quality, hard-wearing materials being used, quality is guaranteed. A lot of passion and care are put into every Nestie made, ensuring your pet has a cosy bed fit for your best friend.
The Nikki's Nesties Difference.
At Nikkis Nesties, we pride ourselves on using only 100% genuine, high-quality materials designed for durability. Our specially sourced thread is made to resist rotting and fraying, our fabric is tough and hard-wearing, and our filling is premium sofa-grade for long-lasting support.
Each Nestie is carefully made to be both comfortable and built to last. On average, our beds last over 5 years, with some customers still using theirs from as far back as 2016 in excellent condition.
Over a 5-year lifespan, a Nestie costs roughly £25 per year—making it a much more economical choice compared to frequently replacing lower-quality beds.
Designed to handle constant digging, dragging, and everyday use, Nesties maintain their shape without flattening. The wipe-clean interior also makes them ideal from puppy through to senior years—accidents are no problem, as a quick cover change and simple wipe leaves everything fresh and clean.
Please note: Nesties are not soft and squishy. When new, they are intentionally firm, as each section is hand-stuffed to capacity to ensure they hold their shape and provide consistent support over time.

What Our Customers Say
I couldn't recommend Nikki's Nesties enough. My one year old Golden Retriever had orthopedic surgery on his back leg and absolutely hated the plastic 'cone of shame', trying to run from it wasn't great for keeping him calm. Nikki made a neckie for him very quickly, incredibly well made and very soft. Rather than being scared of it he liked to cuddle it or use it as a pillow when not wearing it. We can now sleep at night knowing that's he's comfortable and unable to investigate his leg. When he's recovered the neckie will be washed and stored for the next time he does something daft. You never know when you'll suddenly need one of the these and it will be reassuring to know that it's available when needed. Thanks for your help Nikki, the neckie is working brilliantly.

Great from first phone call. To receiving my item in a matter of days. Due to my dog having op within days of me reaching out. The vet even took a photo of collar as it was great on my dog.

Custom Cushion Cones is a 5* rating, or 8 bananas ! I cannot recommend Nikki’s nesties enough. I barely slept for a week and after trying 5 different types of cones off amazon nothing worked, nor did they fit my French bulldog. So I asked Google AI for inspiration out of shear desperation and about half a dozen come up. As I looked through the list the one company that called to me was Nikki’s Nesties, as Google said they customised them pacifically for French bulldog breeds, or dogs with unique head and neck sizes. Nikki sent out this customised cushion cone faster than ANY amazon prime delivery, like WOW. I put that cone on her and my dog slept for 10 hours solid, absolutely wonderful result. When my dog has been back and forth to the vets with her eye ulcer ( hence the cone) EVERYONE smiled and fussed her. It literally put so many smiles on everyone’s face. I emailed my vet with the name of this company, as I feel every dog g deserves the very best cone if needed and trust me these are the very BEST ! So my closing remarks will be this…. The cone of shame is no longer…. It’s now the Custome Cushion Cone of comfort, contentment and extremely classy. As you can tell I HIGHLY recommend this lady’s company you will not be disappointed. Thank you Nikki you are amazing ????. From a plastic brachial designed plastic cone to her Custom Cushion Cone was like night and day and on the second picture she was so comfortable she was falling asleep as it was a huge relief to be able to snuggle up and sleep peacefully once again.
