Mine use beds as long as they are on top of things. But their most favorite are the tents and other hidey hole type beds that I make for them. Biggest hit - my Cat Camper!

Haha maybe not all night... they fall asleep after we do and wake up at about 5am and the bedroom is a great place to play at this ungodly hour apparently...Originally Posted by TaraJason
Your cats sleep at night?!?!?!
I wish mine would.
Absolutely adorable!!! My cat likes the fleece blankets too! He has a couple, but when I brought the first one home it was like he knew it was for him. When I'm watching tv he curls up on it next to me. He has a cat hammock, that I got recently. I think he is afraid of it. I'm going to try the fleece blanket in one of the beds tho. That is a cute idea.
Riley won't sleep in a cat bed. I'm glad though; I have three siblings and he is very nice - he visits all of us during the day and at night he will take turns sleeping on our beds of his own accord. He's so good, he doesn't play favorites with us.
So he sleeps in our beds, not his own.

I had luck getting one of the elderly girls to sleep in a catbed. We got one that was stuffed with cotton, not a foam bed. They never liked the foam beds for some reason. I think what made her really like it was the fringe though. All along the edge, it has a fringe about 1 inch long. She bites it and rubs her face in it. It also has a matching pillow, also fringed. So she sits in her bed and bites at the fringe. Eventually, she just goes to sleep in it.
I have two cats and 5 cat beds and they use all of them. At night they sleep in a large bed that I put right next to my head in my bed but during the day they use the other beds I have spread around my room.
No, the cat bed pretty much seems to be decoration.
There is an adorable one that Petsmart sells. Its a basket with a hole for the cat to go inside then there is room for the cat to lay on top of the basket as well. So cute! I may give it a try one of these days.
Ours use them. Of course we got them initially for showing and they used them in the cage. So when we got home, they still used them to sleep in - they like the round soft beds the best.
One reason yours never seemed to use them could be if you put the beds on the floor. Our beds were up high - either on our bed or on a dresser. Cats don't like sleeping on the floor.

The funny thing for me is Claire sleeps on the floor. Seems like she would be much more comfortable in the bed. She just lies on the carpet.
Ok, there are exceptions to the rule
Out of ALL my cats over the year, only one slept on the floor sometimes and that was in a deep "cup" bed. The others slept on the bed, dresser, top of dryer, or back of the couch.

Both of mine do, but not 100% of the time. They will also sleep on towels on the floor, paper, or an old wal-mart bag (handles cut). We live in a warm area, so sometimes they just curl up on the floor! We have a cat napper window perch that one of my cats lives in during the hot months.

Only the heat reflective bed gets used
We have a donut bed, a fluffy pillow, 2 igloos and 2 radiator bed. When we first got the girls, they slept together in the donut. Now, they sleep with us! The igloos get used occasionally but generally as a hide and seek accessory, the fluffy pillow never gets used and the radiator beds sort of get slept on but tend to get used as part of the obstacle course they do when they are having their mad half hour
All of mine do.
I found some pics

They also like the padding before it becomes a bed:
