Yap Roventa Cage and Carrier Mat, Choc Faux Lambswool, 28 x 42 inch

I wanted a mat to act as a rug to place on our bedroom floor because our 12 year old not-so-springer spaniel comes in each morning to greet us and then looks for somewhere to lie down after the licking ritual has finished. I found the Yap Cossii Cage and Carrier mat on Amazon and searched for the largest size which I subsequently ordered. (I chose the Yap Cosii Cage and Carrier mat because it looked warm and cosy as well as being easy to wash) The moment I took the mat from its packaging, Harry-the-dog knew it was for him and I hardly had time to place it onto the floor before he was on it. He now goes into our bedroom to lie on his mat in preference to his own basket in the living room. We store it under the bed to save space and he tries to get on it before I manage to bring it right out. The mat is 24" x 36" which I think it is the largest and correct size for him. We live overseas and travel once a year on the car ferry to the UK with the dog, of course. The space in the (non purpose built) ferry cabin is very limited and in previous crossings we have had to wedge his bedding between 2 bunk beds. I think that the Yap Cossii mat will be just the right width to fit comfortably on our next crossing. It is also very hard work carrying cabin luggage whilst supervising a dog making his way along corridors and up a lift to the cabin without manoeuvring a bulky bed as well. This time, the bed will stay at home and the Yap mat will go with us. We are also booked into 2 dog-friendly hotels so it will be easy to transport the mat to and from the car so Harry will feel at home in any unfamiliar territory because he will have his mat with him. Another plus point is that there will be much more space in the car now to bring back our annual supply of tea, baked beans, cheese and countless other items that are unavailable here as the mat takes up so little space as well as giving Harry 4 star accommodation in the car boot. Finally, I was delighted with the service and speed of delivery. Since the seller is Amazon and, because we had items in the packaging which totalled over £25, the mat was delivered free of charge to our door by their carrier, remarkable as we live in a remote area and up a dirt track. Useful information for overseas customers.

What I don't like about this mat is the plastic material underneath. The dog doesn't like it either, it is noisy and crinkly. Would have been better with a different material. Which is a shame because I have bought yap dog beds for years and have always found them good quality.

Not the best mats around but was hoping they were like previous yap mats l have that need replacing. Disappointed with the backing, way to shiny and slip off the raised bed our dog sleeps on. Won’t be using them for that reason. Not worth the money really

My dog went crazy as soon as I started getting this mat out of the packaging & was in such a hurry to inspect it herself, she decided to "help" me get the wrapper off! As soon as I put it on the floor to look at it, she threw herself on it & buried her face in it before promptly falling asleep. When I tried to put it in her crate later, she rushed into the crate & leapt onto it before I'd even got it in place. It's a quality product, with a plastic backing and a very cosy faux sheepskin feel which my dog loves. We both like it so much, I'm going to get her another one to leave on the carpet beside my sofa.

This item is a wonderful, quality item. It is warm & cozy, plus pads the cage for the little pup/kitty. Washes well & has a waterproof backing & a loop to get it out of the bottom of the cage - for those little accidents all puppies have. Immediately i put the mat down. she lay on it & was mighty interested in not only the loop mentioned, but also the little tag that sticks out from the pad and the Yap sewn on logo, but she loved it and rolled about on it - happy as Larry. I so far have found no cons with the mat itself & bought 3, BUT.....CONSDelivery was terrible. Was sworn at by the driver & never carded. City link NEVER kept any of their times for re-delivery, until Amazon stepped in

Absolutely perfect for my cat. He sits on this well made and lined mat when on my sofa. Also, if he wants to sit on my lap and 'tread', this mat goes on first and his needle-like claws don't hurt me! Love the product, love the colour, which is a discreet taupe and looks so good with the Farrow and Ball colours in my home. Also, is easily washable and doesn't shrink in the tumble dryer. I have recommended it to friends and have no hesitation in recommending it here.

I love these mats for my dogs because they are so practical and luxurious at the same time. They come in great sizes to fit into dog crates, back of cars or even just on the sofa, and my terrier loves to lounge on one in the back yard. The backing is a silky synthetic fabric which isn't non-slip like some 'suede' or plush effect material is, but it means it doesn't attract fluff and pet hair like other mats and also makes them easier to wash and dry in a flash. All in all they are really great value and very cosy mats.

Fantastic dog mat for the floor, boot, caravan. This bed it great, I can bring it outside, use it in the car, anywhere basically as it’s so easy to wash. The boys (2 dogs) love it too so everyone’s happy 😀
