What to look for
Correct size
Measure your dog lying stretched out and add 15–20cm so they can sprawl comfortably.
Orthopaedic support
Memory-foam bases relieve pressure on joints — ideal for large breeds and senior dogs.
Washable cover
A removable, machine-washable cover makes keeping the bed hygienic far easier.
Durability
Chew-resistant fabrics and quality stitching last longer with active dogs.
Frequently asked questions
Measure your dog from nose to tail base while lying down, then add 15–20cm. When in doubt, size up so your dog can stretch out fully.
