Dog Beds & Mattresses

28 products

A dog sleeps for a good half of the day, so the bed is the piece of furniture he uses most. Here you will find orthopaedic mattresses, raised and ventilated frames, deep donut beds and washable covers, in sizes from a curled-up puppy to a stretched-out giant breed.

Getting the size right

Measure your dog lying on his side, nose to tail, and add roughly 20 cm. Dogs that sprawl need a flat rectangular surface such as an orthopaedic dog mattress, while dogs that curl into a ball feel safer with a raised rim like the donut bed or an oval dog bed. A bed that is slightly too big is always better than one he hangs over.

Beds for older dogs

Stiff hips and elbows need support underneath rather than softness on top. A firm foam base spreads the weight instead of letting the joints sink to the floor, which is what an orthopaedic bed with a bolster is built for. Keep the entry low so an older dog does not have to climb, and if he already struggles to get onto the sofa, a ramp or a set of steps solves the other half of the problem.

Raised and cooling beds

A ventilated elevated bed lifts your dog off a cold floor and lets air move underneath, which suits thick-coated breeds and warm rooms. The mesh also dries quickly, so it works outdoors and on a balcony. In a heatwave, add a cooling mat on top rather than swapping the bed entirely, and see the rest of our cooling and summer range.

Keeping it clean

Buy for the wash, not just the look. A removable, zipped cover is the difference between a bed that lasts years and one you throw out in spring, and a bed with a pull-out mattress lets you wash the core separately. Vacuum before washing so hair does not felt into the fabric, and keep a spare fleece blanket on top to catch most of the dirt.

Where to put it

Dogs settle fastest with their back to a wall and a view of the door, out of the main walking route but still in the room where the family sits. A dog left alone in a back room usually moves himself to the hallway. If yours guards the sofa, put the bed beside it rather than in another room, and give a nervous dog a second soft spot such as a sofa bed or a teepee bed to retreat to.

More about Dog Beds & Mattresses

Orthopaedic support that lasts

Memory foam holds its shape under a heavy dog where loose filling flattens within months. An orthopaedic mattress suits dogs that stretch out, and an orthopaedic bed with bolster adds a raised edge for dogs that like to rest their head. Check the foam thickness rather than the outer height.

Raised beds and airflow

A ventilated elevated bed keeps a dog off cold tiles and lets air circulate underneath, which helps thick coats in warm rooms. The frame also keeps the sleeping surface clear of draughts along the floor, and the mesh dries fast enough to use outdoors.

Donut and burrow beds

Dogs that curl tight and tuck their nose under a paw settle faster with a raised rim. The donut bed and the FloatyComfort bed both give that enclosed feeling, and an oval bed is the middle ground when your dog changes position through the night.

Washing and everyday care

Choose a removable cover and check the wash temperature before you buy. A bed with a pull-out mattress lets you wash the core separately, and a fleece blanket on top takes most of the mud so the bed itself needs washing far less often.

Beds for warm weather

In summer a thick bed can be too much. A cooling mat laid over the usual bed lets your dog choose, which works better than removing his bed altogether. More options sit in our cooling and summer collection.

Dog beds and mattresses: your questions answered

Still have a question?

What size dog bed do I need?

Measure your dog from nose to base of tail while he is lying on his side, then add about 20 cm. Sprawlers need a flat rectangular surface such as an orthopaedic mattress, while dogs that curl up are happier in a donut bed. If you are between sizes, take the larger one.

Is an orthopaedic bed worth it for an older dog?

Yes, if the foam is firm enough to support rather than collapse. Stiff hips need weight spread evenly instead of sinking to the floor, which is what an orthopaedic bed with a bolster provides. Keep the entry edge low so he does not have to climb into it.

How do I stop my dog bed smelling?

Wash the cover regularly and let the core dry completely before putting it back, because damp foam is what actually smells. A bed with a pull-out mattress makes this far easier, and a washable fleece blanket on top absorbs most of the dirt between washes.

Are elevated dog beds better?

They suit warm rooms, thick coats and outdoor use because air moves under the dog and the mesh dries quickly. A ventilated elevated bed also keeps him off cold tiles. Dogs that like to burrow usually prefer a padded bed instead.

Where should I put my dog's bed?

In the room the family uses, out of the walking route, ideally with his back to a wall and a view of the door. Dogs left in a back room tend to relocate themselves. Give an anxious dog a second option such as a teepee bed so he can choose how enclosed he feels.
