the reviews....
cuddle cup- though cosy and cuddly, the cuddle cup can prove a mistake if your piggy likes to be hidden. the walls aren't strong and they dirty easily. Only one of my guinea pigs used the cuddle cup because the others were scared to come out.
Cuddle Cup rating - 6/10

wigwam - the wigwam for me has proven to be one of the best for them timid piggies with eassy removable fleece bedding and a good place to hide. but, with thin material and metal polls inside. You have to
make sure it is safe by checking it everyday. when polls show it is dangerous for piggies.
Wigwam Rating - 8/10

Sleepsack - though warm and cosy it does take a bit for piggies to get used too! some piggies may like the idea of being hiden but not the idea of the walls and ceiling closing around them.
overall the cuddle is a good buy for winter months. but my guinea pigs would rather use it has a sitting pillow.
Sleepsack rating - 7/10

The sofa - supportive and comfy the sofa is the utimate piggy accessory. My guinea pigs sleep on the arms and top part if sitting area is taken. my piggies sleep on this and play. {i have a 2 bedding area hutch so mine is hidden}
easy to wash and doesn't fall out of shape.
The sofa rating- 9/10

now to choose the right bed for your piggy!
My piggy...
is timid and very scared - use the wigwam or sleepsack. it allows them a secure place to sleep and hide.
likes to sleep - experiement with some beds there'll let you know which one they like!
is always moving about - get him the sofa, he will find that the sofa is easy to sit on and so much more easy to jump off and go off somwhere else.
is confident and doesn't mind being in the open - the sofa and cuddle cup are a bed with no roof over the top. so they can see above them and around.
loves to dig into closed in places - get the sleepsack this is as closed in as you will get!
sleeps in my cat igloo - well these piggies obviously like the way the cat igloo is designed!  http://i14.ebayimg.com/02/i/08/e8/bc/65_1.JPG the wigwam is the best.

{for open out cat or dog beds get the cuddle cup. }

i hope this as helped :) if the item links on ebay have finished then check the sellers item to see if they are relisted or search for the product.
love 2 hear your comments thankyooo
 
Piggies love sleepsacks in general, and wigwams.

Its cosy, and they have a roof over their head. Mine love them.

Cuddlecups however arent every piggies favourite - they are cosy alright, but they dont have the "cave-feel" to it that alot of piggies like.

Also it depends on what you want them for - just as a toy and hideyhole, wigwams are a good idea, cheap, easy to clean.
however if you are going for warmth because your piggies are outside etc, I would def. go for the sleepsack.
 
I much prefer cuddle cups as they can put in thier carry cases etc and they can be used when you have babies to keep them near mum I have had some births in cuddle cups they keep the babies warm while mums busy and they dont stray, they are also when you have a sick piggy easy to watch and monitor I often syringe feed mine wrapped in their cuddle cups pull up the sides and hey presto, I find them quite versatile

awwwwwwwwie! that sounds so cute,then again Id prob have to buy 21 of them,lol
 
I've got a couple of cuddlecups and the pigs love them :). I wouldn't use the wigwam and sleepsack as I don't give my pigs hiding places.

Kat
 
I just use a piece of vet bed which fits inside a Pigloo nicely. Rodney seems to love it.
 
my two like the cuddle cups by wont go to sleep in them. I've recently bought a couple of fleece hats for them to snuggle in, because someone on her suggested it. They love these aswell and do cuddle up inside them. I also put in a small little pram quilt, that used to be my sons, and they both prefer this to anything else. They use it as a tunnel, a play thing to popcorn on and bury in, and then hide under it and go to sleep.

I might buy one of the cat igloos though to put in my lounge for when they have floor time, they look quite cosy!
