Dog Beds & Cushions
Just as we cherish a cozy spot to sleep in, dogs need their own comfortable bed to feel secure and well-rested.
A good dog bed provides support and warmth, so your furry friend can snooze without aches. Beds with soft cushioning help relieve pressure points and encourage natural nesting behavior.
For older or joint-sensitive dogs, orthopaedic beds (often made with memory foam) are ideal: they distribute the dog’s weight and relieve joint pain—clinical studies even show improved mobility in dogs with arthritis using memory-foam beds.
In fact, true memory foam molds to your dog’s shape, giving unique support without sagging making it perfect for large or senior dogs. We stock all styles to suit different needs. Soft plush mattresses and bolstered beds give a cozy, nest-like feel, while crate mats and cushions are sized to fit pet crates for travel or den use.
Our waterproof and washable beds (like Danish Design mats and Petface) are great for messy pups and are easy to clean. Many come with removable, machine-washable covers or durable wipe-clean surfaces. This helps keep beds hygienic and smelling fresh, even after muddy walks or accidents.
Top brands ensure quality and comfort, such as Scruffs and Petface (known for chic designs and foam support). These trusted brands have products ranging from luxurious faux-fur cushions to rugged, water-resistant mats. For example, Scruffs’ gel-infused beds reflect exactly the kind of choices Pet owners love.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best cushion to use inside a crate?
Look for a durable, properly-sized crate mat or cushion with an anti-slip base. Waterproof or wipe-clean materials (like nylon or polyester) are ideal for crates since you can easily clean accidents. A well-fitted crate pad ensures your dog isn’t sleeping on hard plastic. Many customers choose crate-specific mats that fit standard crates perfectly. These mats are padded for comfort but thin enough not to make the door hard to close.
How do orthopaedic dog beds differ from regular beds?
Orthopaedic beds are made with firmer, supportive foam (often memory foam) designed to cushion pressure points. They shape to your dog’s body and provide extra joint support. This makes them perfect for older dogs or pets with arthritis or hip dysplasia. Regular plush beds (filled with polyester batting) are softer but offer less support. If your dog has stiffness or takes longer to rise after lying down, an orthopaedic bed can help keep them more comfortable.
How do I clean a washable dog bed or cushion?
Most of our beds have removable covers or waterproof bases. Simply unzip and machine-wash the fabric cover on a gentle cycle, or shake out and spot-wash it. For waterproof mats, wipe them down with a damp cloth or hose off outdoors. As one supplier notes, their dog mats are “designed for easy cleaning, durability, and comfort,” so messes won’t ruin them. Always check the care label—many covers are machine-washable, and plastic inserts can be wiped clean.
What are the benefits of a memory foam dog bed?
Memory foam beds provide extra support by distributing your dog’s weight evenly. They conform to your dog’s shape, relieving pressure on hips, shoulders, and elbows. For large or senior dogs, this can significantly reduce discomfort. In fact, a study on memory foam beds for dogs found improved mobility and less joint pain in dogs with arthritis. Even active dogs can benefit—the cushioning helps muscles recover faster after exercise.
How do I choose the right size bed for my dog?
A helpful guide recommends measuring your dog from nose to tail and adding several inches so they can stretch out comfortably. Remember to account for future growth if you have a puppy. For example, a puppy crate cushion should still fit when he’s fully grown. Ideally, your dog should be able to lie fully sprawled or curled up without hanging off the edge. Check each product’s size chart—many beds come in small/medium/large or specific dimensions. When in doubt, size up for extra wiggle room.
