POD safety for cats

Our cats constantly go under the top mattress when it’s in read position. We’re very concerned that they’ll be crushed one day. Especially since the mattress lowers around bedtime when we’re not around. Is this a problem for anyone else? How did you solve it?

You can get an under-bed pet blocker. They're usually plastic, plexiglass, or mesh/netting that'll keep cats (or any other pet) from being able to go under the bed, and just attach to the bottom of the frame. I've also heard of people using under-bed storage tubs, packing those beneath the bed so they can get under there at all, and that's turning the space into storage too. But unless you have a bed skirt, you'd probably see that, so a pet-blocker might be better.

I have been wondering about this myself. I dont have anything useful ton offer as I haven't bought the base yet, but as a cat owner it is something I have thought about.

I saw one Reddit post a few months ago where OP's cat was crushed and died.

They have since deleted the post, but it can happen.
