What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Unspecified coating on waterproof pet bedding historically uses PFAS water-repellent coating finishes. No brand disclosure rules out this major pathway. Graded separately at 30/100.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and microplastic shedding
Polyester with synthetic topcoats sheds microfibers and coating particles with use and washing, especially if worn outdoors. Pet ingestion via chewing or licking is a minor but real route.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Waterproof coatings sometimes use formaldehyde-releasing resin binders. Unspecified coating leaves this pathway unexcluded; unlikely to be a large off-gas risk outdoors, but not ruled out.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in polyester fabric
No documented azo dye violations or recalls for this brand or product line. Polyester at this price point may use non-regulated dyes, but risk is not established in available data.
Heavy metals
No recalls or test results on file for Heeyoo or similar budget outdoor pet bedding. Standard polyester dyes and coatings are not known to concentrate lead or cadmium at consumer-relevant levels, but transparency is absent.

What it's made of and why it matters
The Heeyoo bed uses polyester fabric with an unspecified water-resistant or waterproof topcoat. Polyester itself is generally stable, but the coating is the critical unknown, waterproof finishes on textiles commonly use PFAS-based durable water repellents (water-repellent coating), which can leach into soil or pet saliva with wear. Without ingredient transparency, you cannot rule out PFAS or other synthetic polymer coatings that degrade over time.
The brand's record and disclosure
Heyday (or Heeyoo under that brand) has not published material safety data, coating specifications, or PFAS stance in publicly available sources. The brand does not appear in OEKO-TEX, GOTS, or other third-party textile certification databases. Silent disclosure on waterproof pet bedding is a red flag, since responsible manufacturers typically specify coating type to address PFAS concerns in the market.
How it compares in its category
Most budget outdoor pet beds rely on polyester with proprietary water-resistant treatments; this product is typical of that segment. Premium alternatives (e.g., certified organic cotton covers, PFAS-free coating claims, or natural rubber backing) exist but cost more. The lack of transparency puts this bed in a middle-risk category for a product designed to contact pet skin and outdoor soil repeatedly.
If you buy it
Inspect the bed regularly for coating flaking, peeling, or visible wear; degradation accelerates PFAS and microplastic shedding. Wash only with cold water and mild detergent (hot water can break down the coating). Do not machine dry or expose to direct heat, which degrades synthetic coatings. If your pet spends many hours on it or chews edges, replacement every 1-2 seasons is prudent.
