Your dog probably rates your lap as the number one sleep spot, but when that’s not an option, these comfy beds would probably come in as a close second. Before you take your pick, consider your dog’s size, sleep preferences, and any health concerns. An older dog may prefer a firm mattress, while an anxious pup may want a comforting cocoon to nestle into. No matter what type of bed your furry friend likes, there’s one here that will fit your home’s style—and your budget.
Suede Dog Bed By Majestic Pet Products
The Majestic Pet Products Suede Bagel Dog Bed is a “cuddler”-style bed, a large padded mattress with raised bolsters around the perimeter that give your dog a place to lay its head—the bed looks like a big, fluffy dumpling. Its microsuede exterior feels as durable as the materials we encountered on beds costing several times as much. It’s also easy to machine-wash on the gentle cycle. You can put the versions for smaller dogs in the wash in one piece, and though you have to remove the stuffing to wash the larger sizes, we found that task (as well as to put the stuffing back in place afterward) easier to do than on most models we tested—the difficulty was a dealbreaker for many other beds. It has four size options: 24 Inch, 32 Inch, 40 Inch and 52 Inch.

This dog bed is a top choice for good reasons. It is made out of high-quality American Made therapeutic foam and is 7 inches thick.

Your dog will sink into the top 2 inches of comfort foam and its body will be supported by the middle three inches of supportive material. This will allow enough room for the mattress to conform to the dog’s frame but also support it at the same time. It comes in three sizes: Large, Extra Large and Giant.

The cover is a soft plush and zippers off for machine washing. The bed also has a waterproof lining for extra cleanliness. Sizes include medium (28″ x 22″ x 5″), large (39″ x 28″ x 7″), and extra large (39″ x 35″ x 8″).
