I used up batting scraps (the ones that were too small to piece together) to fill it.

If you want to make one of your own, just start with the back and sides. I just put two pieces of fleece right sides together, mine were 52" long, 6" tall at the lowest point on the sides and 12" at the highest point in the very back to fit my basket. I sewed a seam on the top and sides, flipped it inside out and top stitched 8" from the top (just to make it pretty). I sewed lines down from the very back, and two points on either side. Next I stuffed it, leaving the bottom kind of open to sew onto the oval pillow at the bottom. I measured the bottom ovals to be 24" at their longest point, and 17" at their smallest point. I pinned the back/side pillow to the bottom two ovals and sewed almost the whole way around, leaving a bit open to stuff it. After that, I just stuffed and then sewed the rest. :)

So cute, they look so cozy. What are their names?

The orange one is Ron, the black and white is Harry, the plain black one is Captain, the white with gray/brown is Mithrandir, and unpictured (but currently sleeping in the bed) is Taye.

Very cute, looks like everyone wants a turn at snuggling in the new bed....you'd better make a few more!

I have fleece in my kitty's basket. She has long hair. Now how do I get that out of the fleece?
