Dog Bed Guides & How-To

Decode your dog's sleep spots using posture cues and room-by-room tips to place beds they'll actually use, improving comfort, temperature, and rest.

Decode materials and key certifications (GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX, CertiPUR-US) to choose a washable, non-toxic dog bed that supports healthier sleep and reduces environmental impact. Get practical guidance on fit, washability, and matching construction to your dog’s sleep style.

Match your dog’s sleep style to the right bed using lab-tested thresholds for durability and comfort - so you avoid models that flatten, fray, or trap odor after a few washes. Follow simple specs like 3"+ bolsters, 3.5+ lb/ft³ foam, 12" extra length, <3-hour dry time, and 70+ lb seam strength to get support that lasts.

Skip breed charts - size by your dog's actual sleeping posture. Measure nose to base of tail and relaxed width while they sleep, then match those numbers to internal bed dimensions, accounting for bolsters, firmness, and airflow to support alignment and temperature balance.
