I'd been using Piggy Bedspreads for a few years and they worked really well -- but over the last year or so, they had shrunk to the point where I could not even fit the sides over the sides of the cage and the vinyl liner had developed rips from the heat of the dryer. I've had to stretch them just to fit over and because they were pulled so taut, the fleece has developed holes in the corners. So even more recently, I hadn't even bothered to try to stretch the sides over the sides of the base. I just folded them under and spread the piggy bedspread out as much as I can to cover the most space.
So when I read about Fleece flippers, I saw the potential there for a solution to the problems that had come up with the Piggy Bedspread.
Piggy Bedspreads can be bulky to wash and heavy when wet but because these flippers are individual pieces, you can wash them individually. But even if you wash them all at once, it would be more like washing a small load of towels than a large comforter, so it's less wear & tear on the washer & dryer.
It would also make the cage cleanup a lot easier and quicker for me.
Because you can use the Fleece Flippers for twice as long by flipping them over, it would be like having two Piggy Bedspreads, so for price comparison:
Two 2X5 Piggy Bedspreads are $158
A 2X5 Fleece Flipper set is $87.99
So basically:
-Double the time between the need to wash
-Wash individually or all at once
-Smaller and less bulky than Piggy Bedspreads
-Like getting two fleece bedding changes in one
-Cage clean up is easier and quicker
-Easier on washer & dryer
-Lots of cute designs to choose from or to mix & match
