MY DOGS 🐕 ❤ LOVE THESE BEDS...

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

I have 3 older dogs, their all Chuhuahuas. 10yrs, 12yrs & 15yrs old. I Spoil them & only get them the Best. I bought 3 of these Orthopedic beds for them. They ABSOLUTELY Love them. The bottom mattress is 3inches Thick. It takes about 3 days for it to Puff up. Be Patient. These are the Best Dog Beds I have ever bought my Babies. They are made Solid. The sides don't break down. They love laying their heads on the sides. The material is Superb. It's not that fluffy loose stuff it's weaved tightly. The grey neutral color goes with everything. I haven't had to wash them yet. But when you wash them you remove the bottom mattress & sides. So your just washing the shell of the bed, not the mattress or stuffing. I always had problems with my dogs previous beds stuffing coming apart when I washed them, these won't do that. They also clean up good with a spray stain remover, stuff comes right off & doesn't leave any stains. Their worth over $40 for the Quality that they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ONLY THE BEST FOR MY BABIES. SWEET DREAMS TO ALL THE PUPPIES OUT THERE

Extra Steps to Expand Memory Foam

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024

This bed has so much potential. However, since the foam and bed are both vacuum sealed, the foam base just won’t expand over time. It is memory foam but cheap, so it couldn’t forget the compressed shape from the vacuum process. But, I have a fix! I used a hair dryer and spent about 20 minutes patiently working the foam until it fully expanded. When I started the foam was not even 1”. When finished it is now 3-4 inches! I then had issues getting it in the cover since my foam was so big. But, there were no directions other than let it sit for at least 24 hours to expand. Not sure if I’ve inhaled toxic fumes from my process, but …..I would have given this a 4 rating had I not had to do the extra work to get the foam to a reasonable size for my dog’s comfort.

Very comfortable!!! I laid down in it first 😁

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

Update: I mentioned below that I would update in a couple weeks but I forgot. Oops!! So it’s been 3 months and this thing is amazing. We have 5 dogs so it gets a lot of use. I have taken the whole cover off 3 times to wash it. Yes, it’s a little troublesome to get back on but it goes back together just like it started and it has held it’s shape well.

Original post: I have just opened this bed, put it together, and inspected the bolster portion to see how it would go back together after washing. One thing I’d read over and over in reviews was that the only way to get the bolster inserts out and back in after washing was to stuff the larger portion through the more narrow portion of the cover, which makes the lower part of the bolster in the front. That must have been a design error that has been rectified. Mine has a zipper all the way around the outside of the bolster portion, tucked under a flap of material to “hide” the zipper. There is no stuffing bigger portions of bolster inserts through smaller portions. You just put the bolster inserts in the cover, sliding portions under a few elastic straps to hold it in place and zip the zipper. Now you do have to use a little common sense when zipping up that portion and hold a hand between the bolster inserts and the zipper as you zip it it up. The bolster inserts are very fluffy and full, which look like would hold the shape better. If you just try to pull the zipper, the material of the bolsters will absolutely get caught in the zipper. Same with the foam insert on the bottom. You have to sort of stuff it in there and pull the cover over it to close the zipper. If the cover did not fit so snug, the pillow would lose it’s shape.

I put it together and then curled up on it myself before the dogs got it dirty. I weigh 120 lbs. I had the pillow on the hard tile floor and could not feel the floor through the foam and my hips are fairly boney. If it compresses over time, I’m sure a couple of $3 Walmart pillows would do the trick. I read all the negative reviews before I bought this and I simply don’t agree with lots of the complaints. Now, I do not have young chewers (this doesn’t appear to be chew resistant at all) and my dogs are not permitted to do that digging/rooting around deal before they lay down. I often have a blanket in their beds so they can stuff that under them, or around them, to get comfortable but they aren’t allowed to scratch at a flat pillow/bed, just because that’s what dogs do. I’m not always able to correct unwanted behavior but over the 30 years that I’ve taken in rescues, pound dogs, etc, that’s not one I’ve struggled with. I do understand that sometimes they just won’t follow instructions! I will plan to update in a couple weeks to report on how easily it washes, what shape it comes out of the washer in, etc. I will be sure to note how the main, center portion of the bed is holding up as this was also one of the negative comments I saw several times.

Long review, terrific product! !!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

My dear pup, Dufus, has reached the gentle age of 13 years and I have noticed her having some discomfort when getting out of her bed in the mornings. Let's face it, time can be hard on old bones. (Being ancient myself, I can sympathize. ) Therefore, I spent a little time researching orthopedic beds, especially for larger dogs as my baby weighs about 80 pounds. (Please don't let her know I revealed that - you know how sensitive some folks can be regarding such things.) With winter coming, I also wanted a bed with cushioned sides to protect her from drafts. Many of the items I researched didn't meet my requirements for size, cushioning, sides, and -- we won't even discuss some of the outrageous prices I stumbled across. Eventually however, I found exactly what I was looking for. This bed arrived and my Dufus absolutely loves it. Everything about it screams quality. The material is top knotch. The mattress is soft but firm and thick. And the price is truly surprising, especially for the size. I was so impressed, I ordered a second bed for the family room. Yes, I spoil her, but she's worth it. The only problem with the bed was with the directions. Not being the brightest bulb on the string, I carefully read every word and followed them exactly. Never having dealt with memory foam before, I was surprised at how thin it was when rolled and sealed. The directions said to open and let inflate for 2 to 3 hours before inserting into the pocket on the bottom of the bed. Wow, I sure wish I could get my paycheck to grow that fast and large!! After only half an hour, the foam appeared to be at least 5 times it's original size. Amazing stuff! At that time, and being eager to see the completed product, I began to insert the pad into the prepared pocket. Have you ever pictured a 500 pound person trying to fit into a size small pair of skinny jeans??? My exertions for the next hour were an enormous source of amusement to my entire four-legged family. I think the cats may even have posted a video. Eventually, after much sweat, determination, and x-rated language, Dufus was presented with her new, deluxe, comfortable bed. She immediately laid in it for a sorely needed nap. I think she wore herself out trying not to laugh at her hooman's antics. When the second bed arrived, the foam was inserted into the bottom pocket within a minute of being opened. It was so very much easier!! I left the zipper open to allow air to reach the pad for inflation. After an hour or two, with no effort from me, it was done. Although this eleminated all the wrestling, cussing, and sweating, I think the felines were disappointed not to have another opportunity to embarrass me on YouTube. Otherwise, this lovely bed is top notch all the way. (I am even thinking of getting one for the cantankerous cats, in spite of their disloyalty.) Sorry this review has turned into a novel. Just try this product, it's pretty darned good. Nuff said.

Very cozy, comfortable bed for large dogs

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

My dog really like this soft and supportive bed. She is a 92 pound lab and fits comfortably in it. The cover is well made, soft and quite durable. I have washed it twice, but I do keep it covered with a sheet to keep it cleaner and not requiring too much trips to the washing machine. I gave it four stars because the orthopedic cushion could be thicker and the cushioned rim could use a better design where it doesn't go flat so soon. I have had this bed for almost 3 months and the cushion is getting flattened out and the rim has developed a sag on each corner where there are seams on the inserts. Would have worked much better if it was designed as a continuous roll. I have tried to switch them so the backside is now in the front and attempted puffing them, but its to no avail so it sags and my dog doesn't have the neck support she enjoyed in these corners. Other than that, she still prefers sleeping in this bed over the long square one she also uses. I hope the company offers a replacement filler and orthopedic cushions you can buy as the current ones are not as durable and I see having to replace them in a few months.

Excellent bed for the price, well made... in this era of lousy pet bed choices at your local stores.....

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018

Size: Medium 32" x 22"Verified Purchase

OK so I have a lot to say about this bed. I do rescue and I get alot of secondhand pet beds. I also have purchased quite a few at the local pet stores. Many of the new beds are junk. I need ones I can wash, because doing cat rescue means hairballs and all sorts of accidents. And they need to hold up to multiple washings and be easy to put back together. (funny it's always easy to take them apart, eh?)

Now that my personal dog (a 45 pound Bassett) is over age 10, I have been searching for an ortho bed for her. So I bought one of those flat square ones from the local Petsmart. Got one on sale for about $28 which was a great deal at the time. It did not last, the egg crate "support" was not easily washed when liquid seeped thru the cheap-o fleece cover. By the time I realized these square flat dog beds were too lousy for words, I had purchased three (two still with me). I had to cut the egg crate into big slices to be able to put it on delicate in the washer. Also to try to avoid these accidents seeping into the egg crate again, I had to insert a washable pee-pad over the egg crate when I reassembled. Very frustrating.

So I was on the search for a durable, washable, higher quality pet bed. I've had several donated that are absolutely well made, however I realized they are from years ago when things were made higher quality (alas but less attrition for those corporate giants). Unfortunately these were cat beds which my dog cannot use.

I stumbled upon this one after visiting and re-visiting some of the bully beds which are lifetime warranty but priced into the stratosphere.

So, I bought one. OK so the foam has to expand for 2 hours....got that done. Now the foam is square but the bed is round? After inserting the foam and struggling to close the zipper, I realize this is a very inventive way to support the bed. You can see the square "foundation" in the picture. The foam is square, and after you zip it in, it's all good .... the dog absolutely loves it (and so do the cats).

Now comes the time when I must wash it. Since the only "assembly" I had to do when it arrived was the foam, that is all I took out when I forced it into the washing machine (around the agitator). It was after this bed was laundered that I realized the side bolsters have their own zipper (the instructions with the bed are minimal so I bet I'm not the first person to figure this out after the fact). So, heads up, there is a 2nd zipper (and yes the zippers are well hidden by a tailored flap).

Bottom line: this is a VERY WELL MADE bed for the same price as one of those cheesy, fleece covered flat egg crate beds sold at Petsmart and similar stores that are only so thick and bottom out quickly for your dog. This one has excellent padding and my dog loves having a "headrest". Her only issue is getting in and out of it, she has short stubby legs and she finally learned to go in on the front side!

Just be aware it is a struggle to get them assembled the first time and after each wash...but definitely worth it.

Note: I had previously bought a "large" size for my Bassett, it is too big for her, but the cats enjoy being in there with her. :) The medium could be considered a bit small for her, though, I wish there were a size in between.

I finally found a bed my picky dog truly likes!

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2022

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

-My dogs review: So I have two other dog beds and what made me search for another was that at times my dog would lay on the floor over in the dog bed. I got this bed in the mail and immediately after putting it together and placing it in my room, he got inside it. Now every time he goes in the room he immediately goes in the bed. What a miracle! I am definitely buying another for the living room. For content he is picky because he used to sleep on the bed at my moms house but he is not allowed on my bed because I am asthmatic and have allergies :( This dog bed is pretty close in feeling to a human bed.
-Sizing: I purchased a large and it was the perfect size. My dog is 63lbs and he fits with a tad bit of extra room to stretch out. Please refer to photos and videos for sizing reference.
-Assembly: the bed was already mostly put together, all I had to do was insert the foam at the bottom. It took all of 3 minutes. Simple.
-Quality: the bed is pretty thick. Its the thickest I have. I have two other beds that were around the same price and this is the only one my dog really likes. Pressing down on the bed it feels extremely comfortable. When my dog rests his head on the outer part, it does not collapse. The bottom does not collapse either, it holds its shape but it is not hard.

Fits 72 husky mix

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

EDIT AFTER A FEW MONTHS:
My dog still loves it, and the back didn’t hold up very well. It flattened out and had no edges, and it started to smell like dog (shocker, right?). I disassembled it, which was pretty easy and washed the cover in my Maytag. It held up in the wash well, and was slightly difficult to reassemble, but definitely manageable. I febreezed all the foam from the sides, and the foam on the bottom before reassembling. And it looks brand new! The back is still slightly flatter than when purchased, but for the price you absolutely can’t beat this product. And this gets A LOT of use in my house. It’s where my 72 pound dog lounges every night, and probably while I’m at work. Still 5 stars after a wash.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
At first I was hesitant, the foam DOESNT seem thick, even after letting it sit. But once you put it in, the dogs don’t seem to mind. It keeps my heavier dog off the hard floor (he is getting bare elbows and the vet recommended a bed for him to lay on), and is large enough for him. We’ve only had it a month, but there are no rips are tears. I also have a pillow in there for them to scratch on, too. Both my 22 pound basenji mix and my 72 pound husky cattle dog mix will fit. It’s snug, but they like to sleep like that. I keep it be the couch, so they still feel like they are sleeping under my feet. The inside of the bed is a light grey, but it seems to ward of stains well. You can also remove the foam and wash the bed. For the price, you really can’t beat it.

P.S. also cat approved. 😉

Great orthopedic bed for dogs & cats

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

Size: Large 40" x 30"Verified Purchase

Great for an old dogs bones and joints.

It seems flimsy at first but needs a day or two to expand and get firmer so don’t judge too quickly.

Our 12 yr old Cocker Spaniel and 1 yr old terrier find the bed very comfy and love the supportive foam bottom and bolster sides.

Our dog loves this bed! Wish they made one just a little smaller... not much smaller, but just maybe 4 inches. But this is definitely her "go to" bed. Having the rim gives her a good place to rest her head, but a lot of the time she just curls up inside it, all snug and cozy. We are pleased with this purchase!

My cats LOVE LOVE these beds

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023

Size: Medium 32" x 22"Verified Purchase

- Both of my cats LOVE these beds. These have become their go to spot to relax and sleep.
- I bought the small size. My cats are between 9-11.5 lbs.
- Very easy to clean the bedding although I did decide to put the memory foam mattress in a garbage bag (after it expanded) before zipping it into the bed so if my cats peed in the their bed the foam mattress would not get wet. I don’t believe the memory foam is washable.
- I also like the filling (similar to pillow filling) around the top of the bed because it can easily be pulled out and replaced if needed.
- I don’t see myself buying any other cat beds in the near future. I have bought several and these seem to be the winner for the cats and for me (especially when it is time to clean them)!
