Aviva Designs Ltd. started out as a futon store in 1982 in downtown Toronto, Canada. Behind the store was a dumpster and living under the dumpster was a stray cat and her kittens. We filled some fabric with leftover cotton felt and slipped it under the dumpster to make a more comfortable home for the little family. Eventually a few kittens were tamed and homes were found. One little guy remained in the store and was named Henry. He was always sleeping on the display futons and getting them hairy so we made a little cat bed with a wall and changed the fill to Polyester which is washable and dryable. Customers saw little Henry in his bed and wanted one too. We started making bigger beds and a customer named them Kitty Kouch and Doggy Divan !

We believe our pet beds are the best because :

Aviva pet beds are structured shapes and hand filled, not sew and blow.

The bed fill is all washable made by from recycled plastics. This fill was developed for downhill skiers that need a lightweight garment which repelled water and kept the same shape. This same fill is also used in high end duvets and bed pillows.

The sewing is all dressmaker quality workmanship.

We use Velcro and YKK zippers for closures.

The inside cushions and surrounding walls are fabric and can be washed.

Our fabrics and colours are the latest in decor trends and will compliment any home and pet.
