Find the perfect orthopedic bed for your dog
Find the perfect orthopedic bed for your dog and unlock a realm of unparalleled comfort and support, designed to cater to the unique needs of your furry friend.
Start Here: Find the Right Orthopedic Bed
Picking a bed should not feel like guessing. Measure nose to base of tail, add four to six inches, then match your dog’s weight and sleeping style. We focus on the things that actually matter: supportive foam, easy to wash covers, non skid bottoms, and the difference between a water resistant cover and a true inner waterproof liner. Choose in minutes, not hours.

Small
Curled-up sleepers and toy breeds usually want a snug, soft surface with low edges. If your pup likes to burrow, a cuddler with an attached blanket is a cozy pick; warmer dogs may prefer a flatter, breathable pad.
Medium
Balanced support matters here: enough foam to cushion elbows and hips, plus a cover that actually survives the wash. If your dog rests the head on an edge, bolsters help keep the neck comfortable without raising the step-in height too much.

XL & Giant
Big joints need even, continuous support. Sprawlers often prefer a thick, flat mat that’s easy to step onto; head-resters do better with sturdy bolsters. If your dog is truly giant or arthritic, consider a therapeutic-grade build with long-term foam integrity.
Shop by Need
Quick tip: Match the bed to how your dog actually sleeps—sprawler, head-rester, hot sleeper, or senior with stiff joints.
Arthritis & Seniors
Even, supportive foam and a low step-in edge make life easier for older dogs. Bolsters help head-resters without adding height.
Cooling
For hot sleepers or warm climates, breathable covers and gel-infused foam help reduce heat build-up—especially for medium to large dogs.
Budget
Value mats keep things simple: decent cushioning, removable cover, and easy washing. Great for sprawlers and everyday use.
Sofa-Style
Side-sleepers and head-resters love a gentle edge. Bolsters add comfort without turning the bed into a tall “step.”

Why Trust Us
We care about what actually improves your dog’s sleep. That includes supportive foam that does not flatten, covers you can remove and wash without drama, zippers and seams that hold up, non skid bottoms for safety, and a clear difference between a water resistant cover and an inner waterproof liner. We verify specs with the manufacturer and major retailers, and we sanity check claims with common veterinary guidance. No sponsored posts here. If we recommend something, it is because it fits the use case for sprawlers, head resters, hot sleepers, or seniors with stiff joints.
How We Test and Verify
We measure thickness, check foam feel and recovery, inspect stitching, zipper hardware, and base grip, then wash the cover to see how it survives. We also compare size accuracy with real breeds and common crate dimensions so you can buy once and sleep easy.

Short, practical guides you can skim in a minute, then pick a bed with confidence:
How to Measure Your Dog for an Orthopedic Bed
Lay your dog flat, measure nose to base of tail, then add four to six inches. Check doorways and the spot where the bed will live. Huge beds do not help if they do not fit your space.
Foam Types Explained, Memory vs Egg Crate, Bolsters and Covers
Memory foam hugs joints. Egg crate improves airflow and reduces weight. Bolsters help head resters. Flat mats suit sprawlers. Covers vary by fabric. Twill tends to resist hair while sherpa feels warm.
