The 10 Best Pet Beds For Spoiling Your Furry Family Member

If your furry pal loves to curl up, this shaggy donut cuddler is the ultimate in coziness. Available in four sizes and chic neutral hues meant to blend easily with home decor, this bed has a round, raised-rim design for extra neck and noggin support. It’s meant to encourage restful sleep, burrowing, and general snugliness, every bed is machine washable and tumble, er, dry-able, too! The Donut Cuddler has over 5,700 positive reviews (whew!) on Amazon (a 4.6 overall rating), including one from an anxious-dog owner who scores the bed “5 stars on account of chilling out lil monkey butt. “Another says of a formerly bed-hogging dog, “I cannot keep her out of this new bed…Last night was the first night I got restful sleep in 4 years! Gonna order one for my cats now because they like it too”. Did someone say sleep? Where do we sign up?

Over 1,700 customers give this bed a perfect score on the website (and it was literally recommended to us by a veterinarian), so we’re gonna go ahead and say Orvis’ bolster bed is a worthwhile investment. Under the removable microfiber cover is a 3.5″ thick memory foam cushion that’s made from a single piece of open-cell foam (not shredded) and is formaldehyde-, phthalate-, and heavy metal-free. Designed to support joints and muscles, relieve pressure points, and improve circulation, this type of bed is especially helpful if your pup is older or a large breed (its intentional low height and open front make it easy for pups to get on and off. The Orvis bolster comes in four sizes, fits dogs up to 120 lbs, and while it’s pricier, reviewers frequently note how their pups love it immediately and how durable it is–or as one simply put it, “Worth every penny!”

Like a sofa, but for doggos! For mamas who look for the same level of quality in their pet supplies as they do for their human kiddos, this plush bed is a must-shop. Naturally, it’s cushioned with pressure-relieving orthopedic foam for joint support and comfort. It’s also offered in three removable, washable upholstery options: a breathable, no-pill microvelvet that repels hair, dirt, bacteria, as well as a microchenille and microlinen. Over 2,000 customers give the Comfy Couch a perfect review score and many often mention how they’ve owned it for years. One enthusiastic reviewer writes, “We’ve had this for 5 years and it is indestructible for our 15 lb Shih Tzu Henry. He loves it even sleeping on the opposite side after a wrestling match with it. Buy it.” Bonus: It’s just a nice-looking piece that easily blends into your decor.

The main concerns with finding a pet bed for large breeds are durability and support. Your giant doggo’s bod can easily flatten a run-of-the-mill option, and joint pain is a common ailment as big dogs age, so it’s important to find a bed that can go the distance. Big Barker’s orthopedic bed for large and extra large breed dogs comes with a 10-year warranty, promising the seven inch-thick therapeutic foam will retain 90% of its original shape and lift for a decade–or your money back. We imagine that helps ease the sticker shock of this pricey purchase, which is essentially a human-grade mattress for big puppers (“I have laid on it and it makes me a little jealous,” notes a reviewer). Added bonuses: It’s made in the USA and machine washable–yay!

If your furry family member likes to get real cozy, like under-the-covers, snoozing like a human people-style cozy, check out the Snoozer cave nesting bed. A sherpa interior keeps your pet feeling snug and warm, the poly-cotton exterior is washable (just remove the hidden rod that keeps the roof raised), and with three sizes available, it can fit dogs from chihuahua up to Golden Retriever size. Though to be fair, it appears this bed isn’t just suitable for pups or cats, according to reviews. One satisfied customer writes, “This bed is amazing. I bought it for my pot belly pig and It is so large I could fit in it with him! Very happy with this cave bed. Easy washable cover which is great.” (Note: Pot-bellied pigs can actually be pretty headstrong so if it’s good enough for piggy, we think Fido will be pleased.)

Coolaroo’s elevated pet bed is meant to keep your bb cool and comfy–without risking his or her health. It’s made of a 100% recyclable lead- and phthalate-free, Greenguard-certified fabric that’s breathable and promotes increased air flow, and is resistant to unwelcome irritants including fleas, mites, mold, and mildew. A suspended platform elevates your pup more than seven inches off the ground, which is helpful if you’re concerned about hard floors, ground germs, dirt, sand, or other outdoor elements. The Coolaroo has over 12,000–yes, 12 thousand–positive reviews on Amazon, many noting how easy it is to assemble and clean (just wipe it down or hose it off with water). If you like to take your buddy in the backyard with you to hang on the lawn, or by the pool or fire pit, this affordable pick is pretty much a no-brainer.

Crates, or kennels, don’t necessarily have a reputation for being ultra-cozy but alas, they offer plenty of benefits, including keeping destructos from ruining your home and giving anxious pups a safe place to snuggle up when you’re gone. To make your pupper’s den a little more homey, this plush pet bed is the easy answer. It’s available in seven sizes (from 18 inches up to 48 inches) that fit standard crate measurements, features a non-skid bottom surface, is easily transportable, and  machine-washable. It may not have the bells and whistles of its pricier counterparts and we wouldn’t recommend for chewers, but with nearly 7,000 positive reviews, we’d venture to say this no-frills, low-mainetnance option gets the job done–and offers some pretty decent bang for your buck.

Hey, sometimes even pets need their privacy. (So says one reviewer, “The second of these beds I have purchased and my dog loves his alone time in his private hut!”) Consider this your furry family member’s She-Shed (or man cave?). For small breed dogs and cats, a plush pet tent offers a comfy bed and a sense of security. Plus, this one’s machine washable, easily transportable to any room or vacation spot, and comes with a plush pillow for burrowing. Plus, it’s  just, well, downright adorable. Lined with soft-but-supportive polyfoam, and offered in an array of fabrics including corduroy, linen, suede, and fleece, Best Pet Supplies’ pet tent bed is an affordable, unfussy option for smol bois and girls. Nearly 3,000 Amazon reviewers sing its praises and several note they own more than one of this cozy house.

Step into any animal shelter or kennel in America and you’re highly likely to see Kuranda dog beds. Aside from offering a comfortable, supportive, clean place to rest, Kuranda beds are exceptionally durable–and ideal for mischievous chewers. The fabric edges of the bed are hidden inside the frame to discourage chewing, and the Heavy Duty 40oz solid vinyl stands up to even the most determined diggers and jumbo-size puppers. Kuranda beds are also easy to clean and great for outdoor use. Worth testing on your naughty nugget?  As one testimonial puts it, “We bought this bed for our 7 month lab/mix (aggressive chewer) who had chewed (destroyed) every other bed we had previously tried. We wasted a TON of money on other beds that claimed to be hard to chew or durable, only to be disappointed with the product…This bed is still as good as the day we purchased it. I would strongly recommend it.”

Finding a quality pet bed that is actually nice to look at can be a tricky task. Of course, we want our fur kiddos to be comfy first and foremost, but is a cute bed too much to ask for? Spoiler alert: no. The folks at PupRug have managed to strike the perfect balance between orthopedics and aesthetics with their faux fur bed that basically just looks like a chic throw rug. Made of memory foam that’s guaranteed not to flatten for 10 years, and featuring a removable/washable cover and non-slip bottom, this is a bed that just blends into your decor, all while keeping your doggo comfy and supported.”It’s the most beautiful dog bed I have ever seen,” says a reviewer, “The quality is top notch and our dog, Phoebe, loves it. If you are in the market for a new bed for your pet, you found it. It’s perfect.” (Also: Good girl, Phoebe.)
