Quick answer: Sofa-Scratcher (Original ~$59.99 / Squared ~$64.99) is a USA-made sisal corner post that anchors under the sofa leg — great as a dedicated protector, but it is not a side table. The CozeCats Side Table (~$169.99, Pair from $329.99) is furniture: usable tabletop + flush sisal arm protection, factory-direct from the same manufacturing source as premium reseller brands.
🏭 Factory-direct at about 45% of the Cat-e-Corner price. The CozeCats side table is made with the same category of factory-level build quality as Cat-e-Corner-class tables and sold direct from the manufacturer — about 45% of the typical Cat-e-Corner price (~$169.99 vs ~$379), so you keep about 55%.
Both sofa arms: a CozeCats Pair is $329.99 vs $758 for two Cat-e-Corners (2 × $379) — about 44% of the price, saving ~$428.
Math: 169.99 ÷ 379 = 0.449 → 45%; 329.99 ÷ 758 = 0.435 → 44%. Base single/pair, no riser, USD; Cat-e-Corner price from hilde-phil.com (Maple, no riser), checked Oct 27, 2026.

Same factory, different price
Here is the part most comparison pages skip: CozeCats is the manufacturer selling factory-direct. The design and build quality of our side table match the premium sofa-arm scratcher tables sold by well-known reseller brands — because they share the same production source.
Those brands often excel at content and ads. The cost of that middleman layer shows up as premium markup (Cat-e-Corner–class pricing around $379+). Buying through CozeCats means you pay for the furniture itself, not intermediary pricing.
- Same factory origin — same design & build quality as premium middleman brands
- Factory-direct price — CozeCat Side Table from $169.99; Pair from $329.99 (both arms)
- Lower ongoing cost — spare sisal mats $43.86 · ships from Dallas · 30-day returns
We keep this comparison factual: check each product page for the latest listed specs. Our claim is about shared manufacturing origin and factory-direct pricing, so you can skip middleman markup when the product class is the same.
What each product is built to do
Sofa-Scratcher (Original rounded and Squared 90°) is a contoured or corner sisal post with a thin polycarbonate base that slides under the sofa leg. It protects the corner your cat already targets. It does not give you a tabletop for drinks or a lamp.
The CozeCats Side Table is a 2-in-1: a side table for humans and a replaceable sisal scratch surface flush to the sofa arm. Heights 21.5 / 23.5 / 25.5 in, Left or Right, Walnut or Maple, and a Pair option.

Who should buy which?
- Choose Sofa-Scratcher if you only need a slim protector post, prefer a USA-made corner piece under ~$70, and do not need a side table.
- Choose CozeCats if you want real furniture that protects the arm and replaces an end table — especially if you are comparing against $200–$379 “premium” scratcher tables and prefer factory-direct pricing. A Pair covers both arms for less than one Cat-e-Corner–class table.
Bottom line
These are adjacent but different tools. Sofa-Scratcher wins on lowest protector-only price. CozeCats wins when you want décor-grade furniture, a usable top, riser fit, Pair coverage, and factory-direct value versus middleman-priced scratcher side tables.
