What Are the Benefits of a Dog Bed?

A dog bed is an essential piece of equipment for all dogs regardless of size, breed or age.

A good dog bed:

- provides a private space and sense of security;
- provides insulation from the floor in both winter and summer;
- cushions joints and bones;
- controls the spread of hair, dirt, and dander.

It may also save your furniture, as your dog will soon prefer his bed to your sofa.

Choosing the Right Dog Bed
How your dog sleeps, his size, age, or physical condition must all be considered when choosing the perfect bed for your dog.

Dog Bed Shapes

The shape of a dog bed is just as important as the size and filling.

- Round dog beds are great for dogs who curl up when they sleep. Our round dog beds are also ideally suited for younger dogs, who need a greater sense of security.
- Rectangular dog beds work best for dogs who stretch out. Older dogs often have less flexibility and will find a rectangular dog bed more comfortable.

Bolster Dog Beds

If you've ever found your dog sleeping with his back to the couch or a cushion, he's there for a reason. Dogs who sleep this way do so because the support against their back offers them a feeling of security. Bolster dog beds are great for providing both security and comfort. Plus, the soft, spun-polyester-stuffed bolster makes an excellent pillow.

- Round bolster dog beds provide the perfect spot for dogs who like to curl up and snuggle next to something soft when they sleep.
- Rectangular dog loungers with soft bolsters on the back and sides provide a bed with a cozy cover that allows dogs to burrow in and relax in comfort.
- Deep dish bolster dog beds are great for homes with more than one dog.

Bagel Dog Beds

Does your dog circle and circle to find just the right place to lie down? Dogs who like to look for the perfect nesting spot love Bagel dog beds. With a soft, overstuffed bolster that completely surrounds your dog, Bagel dog beds provide a sense of safety and security that some dogs need when they snuggle in.

Burrow Dog Bed

Many dogs, small breeds in particular, can't settle down to sleep unless they have their backs snuggled into something for an added feeling of safety and security. The Dog Burrow is the perfect solution--the half-covered hood offers an enclosed area, much like a natural den.

Memory Foam for Older Dogs

For older dogs, rectangular dog beds with memory foam help to ease the discomfort and stiffness associated with joint and muscle pain, whether from age, arthritis, hip dysplasia, or injury. By conforming to your dog's individual body shape, less stress and pressure are put on the joints and muscles. Excessive callus irritation over joints is also minimized. A memory foam dog bed with a down covering will provide additional luxurious warmth.

ToughChew Dog's Nest: For Dogs Who Chew

The ToughChew Dog's Nest is made to be chew resistant to stand up to puppies as well as adult dogs who like to chew. While it's tough, it's also soft enough for a comfortable night's sleep. Available in seven sizes and two shapes with the same high-loft hypoallergenic polyester filling.

Space-Saving Beds

If available space for a dog bed is a factor, then give your dog a luxurious dog bed that lets him spend time where you do without getting in the way. Space-saving dog beds tuck neatly in a corner or against a wall, allowing your dog a comfortable place to sleep that you can live with, too.

Couch Guardians

For dogs who love to rest on the couch, a couch guardian protects your furniture from stains, liquids, pet hair, and odors with innovative protection for your couch or love seat. At the same time, it gives your dog a comfortable place to rest. In a range of colors and even in fine leather, couch protectors complement any home's decor.

If you need a protective covering for your couch or bed that's also comfortable and stylish, Three Dog Night bedding is for you.
