What Is PetAmi?
PetAmi is a US brand selling waterproof pet blankets through Amazon and their own website. Their Classic version comes in multiple sizes (29"×40" up to 90"×90"), uses a triple-layer waterproof construction (microfiber polyester + membrane), and costs $16.99–$34.99*. A 60"×80" size is available at around $28–$32*. They also have a Fluffy variant with sherpa fleece.
PetAmi has extensive verified Amazon reviews — their products genuinely work for waterproofing. They're durable, machine washable, and well-regarded in the pet space. The question is whether a product designed for dogs and cats is the right choice for protecting your mattress during sex.
Using a Pet Blanket for Sex: What Actually Happens
The Smell Factor
PetAmi blankets are designed to be washed of animal odors, which means they're made with machine washability as a priority. This is actually fine for intimate use — they wash well. But the materials aren't selected with human skin-on-skin contact as the primary consideration.
Material Feel
The Classic PetAmi uses standard microfiber polyester — functional but not particularly soft or luxurious. The Fluffy sherpa variant is softer, but sherpa can feel rough when compressed and moves and bunches during active use more than a dense microvelvet blanket.
The Marketing Gap
Using a pet blanket for sex works in the same way using a dog's towel as a bath towel works — technically fine, slightly weird. There's no brand consideration for intimate use: no thought given to quiet fabric (microfiber rustles), skin-friendly material priorities, or intimate packaging. You're adapting a pet product to a different use case.

Verdict
PetAmi works as a functional mattress protector for intimate use — the waterproofing is legitimate and the price is attractive. For people who primarily want liquid protection and don't care much about feel or the experience of using it, PetAmi at $28–$32* is a reasonable choice.
For people who want a sex blanket that actually feels good during use — soft, quiet, designed for skin contact — the POUND PAD is worth the $57* premium. The feel difference is real, the discreet packaging matters for privacy, and buying from a brand that designed the product for you (not your dog) is a better experience overall.
