About The Dog Bed Lab

We help you buy once and sleep easy. The Dog Bed Lab is a fit-first, home‑centric guide that matches beds to your dog’s SleepStyle (sprawler, curler, burrower), body, climate, and your space. We turn real‑world wear and cleaning tests into clear, comparison‑ready picks—so your dog actually chooses the bed, sleeps deeper, and you skip the trial‑and‑error.

Mission Statement Our mission is to deliver SleepStyle‑fit dog beds that balance support, durability, washability, and design—grounded in transparent testing and honest pricing—to reduce waste, reduce returns, and improve canine rest at home and on the go.

Our Brand Story Like many dog families, we were frustrated by sagging foam, slippery bases, and beds our dogs ignored. Endless claims, little data, and few washable designs led to replacements every few months. We built The Dog Bed Lab to change that: a simple system that profiles how your dog sleeps and where the bed lives (crate, couch corner, tile, van), then backs recommendations with measured support, washability, and durability results.

We test in real homes—hardwood and rugs, small apartments and big‑dog spaces, humid summers and chilly winters. We publish what holds up (and what doesn’t), highlight replaceable parts, and prioritize long service life. Our goal is lower total cost of ownership and better rest for dogs of every size and age.

Our Team • Fit & Testing Lead: A big‑dog guardian focused on orthopedic support, edge stability, and space fit for sprawlers and seniors. • Behavior & Comfort Specialist: Looks at nesting, curling, and burrowing cues to align shapes and bolsters with canine calming needs. • Materials & Washability Analyst: Evaluates fabrics, zippers, liners, hair release, dry times, and odor control after repeated washes. • Data & Methodology Editor: Scores products on Washability, Support, Durability, and Space Fit and maintains comparison frameworks. • Veterinary Advisory Panel (independent): Reviews comfort/support criteria for general wellness context; we do not provide medical advice.

How We Work • SleepStyle Fit: We profile dogs as sprawlers, curlers, or burrowers and map that to shapes, bolsters, and edge support. • Use‑Case First: Crate pads vs. couch‑corner loungers vs. yard/travel cots—tested where they’ll actually live. • Transparent Scores: Every pick is rated on Washability, Support, Durability, and Space Fit with plain‑language trade‑offs.

What We Don’t Do We don’t accept pay‑to‑play placements or guaranteed positive reviews. When we use affiliate links, they don’t affect our testing or rankings, and they never change your price. We disclose how we earn and how we test, every time.
