Quick answer
Choose the Flower Bed if you want a plush, cushioned perch that fits most existing Mau cat trees and supports cats up to 25 lbs. Choose the Nami if you want a sculptural wall-mounted wooden bed that doubles as decor and your cat is comfortable jumping to wall height. The Flower Bed is the easier retrofit; the Nami is the bigger design statement.
What each bed actually is
The Flower Bed is a cushioned perch with five padded petals, sold as a direct swap for the perch you already own. It includes the bed, a pom-pom ball toy, and the hardware, and Mau lists a two-minute installation: unscrew the old perch and attach the new one. It fits all Mau cat tree perches except the lower perch of the Uni and the Ivy, though it does fit the top three perches of the Ivy.
The Nami is a wall-mounted structure with finely sanded wooden beds and gradual wave-like steps. It is not a perch replacement; it is a piece of cat furniture you mount to a wall, and Mau describes it as redefining traditional cat furniture with a wave-inspired silhouette.
Fit and size: the numbers that matter
The Flower Bed is rated for cats weighing up to 25 lbs and has a flower diameter of about 19.5 inches. That width gives most cats room to curl or stretch, and the 25 lb limit covers the majority of domestic cats. If your cat is near or above that weight, the Flower Bed is not the right pick.
Mau does not publish a weight limit or bed dimensions for the Nami in the supplied catalog facts. That absence is a real decision limitation: if you have a very large cat or need exact platform measurements before drilling into a wall, ask Mau support for the Nami's load rating and bed dimensions before ordering.
Installation and home setup
The Flower Bed assumes you already have a Mau cat tree. If you do, the swap is a few minutes with the included hardware, and you keep your cat's existing climbing structure. If you do not own a compatible Mau tree, the Flower Bed is not a standalone purchase.
The Nami requires wall mounting, so you need a suitable wall, the right anchors for your wall type, and a location where your cat can safely land and launch. It frees up floor space, which matters in small rooms, but it is a more involved installation than unscrewing one perch.
Maintenance and long-term value
Cushioned perches like the Flower Bed collect fur and need occasional cleaning; the petals are the main contact surface. Wooden beds like the Nami are generally easier to wipe down, but they offer less padding, so a cat that loves deep cushioning may prefer the Flower Bed.
If you already own a Lua cat tree, keep in mind that the scratching post is a wear item. The Lua Scratching Post is a direct replacement part that extends the life of the tree, so budget for that separately from either bed decision.

Trade-offs at a glance
- Cushioning vs. wood: The Flower Bed has five cushioned petals for support and comfort. The Nami uses finely sanded wooden beds. Choose cushioning for a cat that sleeps deeply; choose wood for easier wiping and a cleaner look.
- Retrofit vs. wall mount: The Flower Bed swaps onto an existing compatible Mau perch in about two minutes. The Nami mounts to a wall. Pick the Flower Bed if you want a fast upgrade; pick the Nami if you are ready to drill and plan placement.
- Known size limit vs. unpublished limit: The Flower Bed is rated to 25 lbs and about 19.5 inches across. Mau does not list a Nami weight limit or bed dimensions in the supplied facts. If your cat is large or you need exact Nami measurements, confirm with Mau support first.
Product facts
- Flower Bed: Fits all cat tree perches except the lower perch of the Uni and the Ivy (it fits the top three perches of the Ivy). Check your tree model and perch position before ordering; most Mau trees work, but the Uni and Ivy lower perch do not.
- Flower Bed: Suitable for cats weighing up to 25 lbs, with a flower diameter of about 19.5 inches. Gives you a clear size ceiling and enough surface for most cats to curl or stretch.
- Nami: Wall-mounted structure with finely sanded wooden beds and gradual wave-like steps. Saves floor space and adds a sculptural look, but requires wall mounting and a cat willing to use elevated platforms.
Which one fits your cat?
Best for
- Owners of a compatible Mau cat tree who want a cushioned perch upgrade without new installation
- Cats up to 25 lbs that prefer a soft, wide sleeping surface
- Households that want to keep floor space and climbing structure unchanged
Not for
- Cats over 25 lbs or owners who need a perch for the lower Uni or Ivy position
- Homes without a compatible Mau cat tree, since the Flower Bed is a replacement perch
- Renters or owners who cannot mount items to a wall and want the Nami's look
