Thank you! One Mylar emergency blanket makes quite a few pet pads. My technique is different than the video illustrates because I do not have a serger. I layer the top and bottom material right sides together then add the batting layer on top then the Mylar layer on top of that. I think you could add a second batting layer on top of the Mylar if it is thin enough. Sew all around leaving a 6-8 inch gap. Turn inside out and stitch all around the pad close to the edge to close. Then quilt as desired to hold it all together. Good way to practice free hand quilting.

Are these pet beds washable? Will the Mylar hold up to washing and drying?

Mylar is supposed to hold up well. The video link states that they are washable and dryable. The pads do have to be quilted in some manner. I have made quite a few for shelters. I do have some here that have not been delivered. I’ll test one out and get back to you.

Update- The heat reflecting pet pad with inner Mylar layer washed up beautifully and dried in the dryer with no problems.
