Designed to reduce pressure on joints, Orvis's durable memory foam couch bed is a favorite for older dogs or large, active breeds. Better yet, have it personalized, so your pup knows exactly where to lay their head.

"Sammy absolutely loves the memory foam bed," says a reviewer. "He really likes the side and back supports. It's nice and spacious, allowing him to fully stretch out. He also likes rolling around in it and playing with his toys. He used to sleep in my bed at night but he doesn't anymore, opting for this bed."

Prefer the preppy aesthetic? Consider a rattan bed in a classic blue and white color scheme.

Have a coat rack full of waxed cotton jackets ? Now you can match your pup; Barbour's quilted dog bed is durable, just like the brand's outerwear. (If you have a chewer, this is a great choice.)

"My long haired chihuahua mix (rescue, 4.5kg) LOVES this bed," says a Google reviewer. "She’s always ignored all the other beds we’ve bought her (and we’ve tried many), but always goes straight to this one to curl up in any chance she gets! Legitimately the only dog bed she’s ever liked."

The most pampered of pups deserves not only a bed, but his own modern house inside your home.

"This dog house is absolutely adorable!!! The wood is gorgeous and the whole structure once put together feels very sturdy," says a reviewer. "You do have to put it together but they provide extra hardware and even the allen key and a drill bit."

If an eco-friendly dog bed is a priority in your house, your pet will sleep like a baby on one of Harry Barker's simple grain sack beds, which are crafted from sustainable hemp, and use an insert that's made from eco-fiberfill a.k.a. recycled plastic bottles.

According to a shopper, it's "chic and functional. I love it AND my dogs love it too!!!"

Best Friends by Sheri The Original Calming Shag Fur Donut Cuddler Cat & Dog Bed

This plush dog bed comes highly reviewed by pet owners who report their dogs love to snuggle. One writes, "We are pleasantly shocked at just how quickly our pups took to them and how they continue to be drawn there. They clearly love them. The only problem is that our little 11 pound mutt continues to hog the larger bed. Our poor Heeler is relegated to tuck himself into the small. We now own 4 of these beds, divided between two different rooms."

Whether your dog prefers cooler surfaces, or you just like the crisp look of leather, this stylish option is both fashionable and well-made.

"I’ve searched high and low for a dog bed my sweet pup could cozy up in that also looks nice with our decor. This one ticks all the boxes!" says a reviewer. "I ordered the small size for our 26-pound French Bulldog and it’s perfect for her. I’ve already recommended to all our friends."

An orthopedic bed is built to protect your dog's health while maximizing comfort—sounds ideal, right? This luxe version is made with memory foam, and the 100% suede cover is removable for easy cleaning.

"My English lab loved this bed from the moment it arrived," writes a reviewer. "This bed is very high quality, sturdy and easy to clean. I love that the cover comes off to wash... This bed was easy to put together. The memory foam is holding up very well."

You put thought and consideration into your own mattress, so why not treat Fido with the same care? Mattress brand Casper has extended their line to include beds for the four-legged members of your family.

One reviewer says, "this bed is substantial, well designed, looks good in my house and according to my dog, very comfortable."

If your dog spends a lot of time in his or her crate and you're looking for a bed suitable for a cage, look no further. This top-rated crate pad is specifically designed to be the ultimate base layer. It's scratch and tear-resistant, and the removable cover is machine washable.

"My dog LOVES his new snooz pad. The minute I put it in his crate he went in and started wagging his tale," says a shopper. "I personally love that it fits corner to corner so the entire crate becomes a giant bed. I also really love the double liner and that it is all machine washable. I bought an extra cover for that reason. The Snooz itself is very high quality, the outer cover is soft and thick enough that I don’t see it ever tearing, and the foam pad is so nice a squishy."

Kurgo Waterproof Dog Bed

Kurgo Waterproof Dog Bed

If portability is a priority, consider a travel dog bed. Easily packable, this one from Kurgo is great for taking your pup on the road.

"My dog actually likes this travel bed more than her regular bed!" says an Amazon shopper. "It's great for taking to the park - while we lounge in the hammock, she snoozes on her bed (leash clipped to the hammock). I love traveling with it because she instantly knows that's her spot and settles down in new places. It's easy to keep clean and covered the back cargo area of my SUV prior to the arrival of her travel crate."

Snoozer Pet Products Cozy Cave Covered Cat & Dog Bed w/Removable Cover

Cozy Cave Covered Cat & Dog Bed w/Removable Cover

The pup that loves to be covered up or burrowed in is sure to find this covered option cozy and inviting.

"My GSP loves her new Cozy Cave," says a reviewer. "Once she is in, she sleeps through the night. It's soft, fuzzy and warm and keeps her happy and comfortable."

Parachute Canvas Bolster Dog Bed

A simple dog bed in a neutral shade is a great choice for the minimalist pet owner. And it comes in multiple sizes to perfectly suit your pooch.

The Best Dog Beds

A dog lying down on one of three large dog beds placed side by side.

By Mel Plaut

Mel Plaut is a writer covering pets. They have tested hundreds of products for our best animal friends, including dog beds and pet fountains.

Like humans, dogs have individual sleep preferences. And since there are hundreds of different beds to choose from, finding the right one can be a head-spinning endeavor. If only dogs could take an online quiz, similar to those for people: “Are you a side-sleeper? A splooter? A curler? Do you prefer a warm dirt hole or a king-size human bed where you still manage to take up all the space?”

Even if you already know your dog’s sleeping style, the bed-shopping journey may still involve trial, error, and some returns. To get you started, we’ve researched and tested dozens of great options for all types of picky pups . Unfortunately, if your dog just wants to sleep in the bed with you, well, you may be out of luck.

Everything we recommend

luxury dog travel beds

FurHaven Velvet Waves Perfect Comfort Sofa

An affordable, comfortable couch-style bed that’s easy to spot-clean.

This dog bed offers a low front opening, for easy access. And it has one of the simplest covers to spot-clean of all the beds we tested. The mattress foam is soft and supportive, but it isn’t the highest-quality material.

Buying Options

luxury dog travel beds

Majestic Pet Suede Bagel Dog Bed

Great for dogs who like to curl up.

Dogs who like to sleep curled up with their bodies pressed up against things will love this cuddler-style bed. The pillowy bottom and raised bolsters make a cozy nest. The soft, durable faux-suede cover can withstand normal digging—but as on our other top pick, it will wear out eventually.

Upgrade pick

luxury dog travel beds

Orvis RecoveryZone ToughChew Lounger Dog Bed

For dogs who like to fight their beds.

This is the most expensive of all the beds we tested, but the ripstop-backed cover is designed to resist tears and punctures (or your money back), which may save you money in the long run. The two-layer foam mattress is comfortable and well constructed.

luxury dog travel beds

Lay Lo Dog Bed

Loads of designs to choose from.

With more than two dozen colors and prints, this simple lounger can appeal to a wide range of tastes. The covers look great and clean up well under normal dirty-dog conditions, but the insert isn’t as supportive as that of our other upgrade pick.

luxury dog travel beds

K&H Original Pet Cot

A good indoor/outdoor cot.

If your dog runs hot or simply loves snoozing outside, this cot keep will keep them elevated, and it promotes airflow to help regulate their temperature. But it isn’t cozy, and it can be tricky to spot-clean.

luxury dog travel beds

The Molly Mutt Bed

Colorful duvet covers, for upcycling insert material.

Skip buying a whole new dog bed. Instead, you can stuff your old blankets and clothes into one of these duvet covers. These 100% cotton canvas covers are durable and attractive, and they come in a few dozen colors and patterns.

luxury dog travel beds

FurHaven Trail Pup Packable Pet Pillow

A portable bed for camping, picnics, and day trips.

This simple mat’s material is similar to that of a sleeping bag, and the mat comes with its own stuff sack, so it’s perfect for traveling or camping. It’s easy to spot-clean—and even easier to throw in the wash with the rest of your dirty laundry.

The research

Why you should trust us, how we picked, how we tested, our pick: furhaven velvet waves perfect comfort sofa, our pick: majestic suede bagel dog bed, upgrade pick: orvis recoveryzone toughchew lounger dog bed, upgrade pick: lay lo dog bed, also great: k&h original pet cot, also great: the molly mutt bed, also great: furhaven trail pup packable pet pillow, other good dog beds, the competition, what to look forward to.

I’m a staff writer on the pets team and a dedicated friend to animals. I’ve lived with cats for more than two decades, and I currently have a 3-year-old rescue dog named Dave (who is spoiled beyond belief).

For this guide, we scratched, stained, stripped, cleaned, and reassembled 19 different dog beds. We interviewed veterinarians and animal behaviorists to learn about the sleep preferences of dogs and how they relate to the various dog-bed styles. And we spoke with several dog-bed manufacturers, to get insight into their research-and-development processes. The current guide builds on research and testing by Kaitlyn Wells and Nick Guy, dating back to 2017.

Three large dog beds placed side by side and a dog sniffing the floor near one of them.

There’s a dizzying number of dog-bed types and designs. But every expert we spoke with said you should base your choice on your dog’s individual sleeping style.

“Look at what your dogs liked in the past, and go based on that,” said Dr. Laurie Bergman, a veterinary behaviorist. Do they like to lean against things when they sleep? Do they burrow into a tight ball? Are they unapologetic dog-spreaders? Their regular sleep posture will point you toward a shape that will work best.

Armed with this knowledge, we considered five distinct bed shapes:

  • Cuddlers (aka snugglers, doughnuts, or bagel beds): These beds are round or oval, with an inner pillow surrounded by a raised bolster.
  • Bolster beds: Similar to cuddlers, these beds are typically square or rectangular, with a raised pillow (aka bolster) that wraps around the four sides.
  • Couch beds: These models are like bolster beds, but they have an opening on one side, so dogs can get in and out more easily.
  • Loungers (or mattress beds): These beds have a simple rectangular design, with no raised edges or bolsters. A lounger can look like an oversize pillow or a mini mattress for a human.
  • Cots (or elevated beds): Similar to taut hammocks, these models are raised off the ground by a sturdy metal or plastic frame. They’re often suitable for use outdoors or for dogs who like more airflow from underneath.

Some beds contain a polyester fiberfill, while others are made from thick layers of various types of foam. Several manufacturers claim that their beds are “orthopedic.” But that’s “a misused word for dogs,” said Dr. Leticia Fanucchi, a veterinarian and professor at Oklahoma State University. “There is no such thing as orthopedic bedding, specifically.”

If your dog has arthritis or other joint issues, most of the vets we spoke with agreed you should choose a bed that’s easy for your dog to get into and out of, that supports your dog’s joints, and that doesn’t create pressure points . These are “points on the body where there's very little soft tissue coverage over bones,” such as the elbow or the hip, where lesions can develop, said Dr. Barbro Filliquist, a veterinarian and professor at University of California Davis. But if your dog doesn’t have any health issues, pressure points aren’t a big risk.

Fanucchi told us that when you’re choosing a dog bed, temperature is another important factor, and you should consider your dog’s hair. For example, big dogs who have a heavy fur coat and are used to cold weather might not like a thick warm cover, whereas less-furry dogs, such as chihuahuas or pit bulls, may appreciate a bed that helps them retain body heat.

Lastly, we looked for customer-friendly return policies and warranties. “Don’t feel insulted if your dog doesn’t want to use the dog bed you provide,” said Bergman. “You can encourage them to use it, you can give them treats on the bed … but if they’re not going to use it, they’re not going to use it.” Most of the beds we picked are available on Chewy and Amazon , both of which also have generous return policies. And while there’s no such thing as a truly chew-proof dog bed, we tested a few models made with more-durable materials—and with even stronger warranties—for dogs who treat their beds like a tasty snack.

A variety of dog beds covering a large area.

After considering 32 well-reviewed dog beds, we tested 19, enlisting the help of my 65-pound mutt, Dave, and a 67-pound dog named Hunter. We evaluated each bed according to five key criteria:

Durability: We gathered a gardening claw (to imitate dog paws) and sharp meat shredders (to replicate puppy teeth). Then we used each tool to scratch every bed cover 50 times, to see how it held up to digging and chewing. We also yanked on and generally abused the zippers on each bed, to see whether anything would break or get caught.

Ease of spot-cleaning: We made a concoction of cheap, smelly dog food mixed with water, to simulate vomit. We poured this gag-worthy slop onto each bed cover, letting it sit for about an hour. We also rubbed globs of mud on each cover and let them dry. Then we spot-cleaned both areas with wet paper towels, a wet sponge, and (in tough cases) a toothbrush. We also sprayed Nature’s Miracle on the “vomit” spots to try to remove any lingering odors (unfortunately, it mostly just covered them up with its own hyper-perfumey smell).

Appearance after machine-washing: We spent a day in a laundromat machine-washing each bed cover (according to its instructions) three times. If drying was indicated, after each wash we sent the cover through a low-heat drying cycle until it was fully dry.

Ease of assembly (and, after washing, reassembly): For each bed that required initial assembly, we noted how difficult it was to put together compared with the other beds we tested. We also evaluated the difficulty of putting a bed back together after machine-washing it.

Quality and feel: Although my dog, Dave, tried out each bed, he wasn’t the best barometer because he would happily sleep on just about anything. Unlike Dave, I have a bad back and a high bar for comfort. I weigh about the same as an average mastiff or Saint Bernard, so I reclined on each bed for five to 10 minutes, taking note of how soft it was, whether I could feel the floor beneath me, and how the cover material felt on my skin.

We also considered each bed’s attractiveness, the water-resistance of any included mattress covers, and the location of any zippers.

One of our picks for best dog beds, the FurHaven Velvet Waves Perfect Comfort Sofa.

The FurHaven Velvet Waves Perfect Comfort Sofa ’s soft, comfortable foam, easy-to-clean cover, and affordable price make it an excellent choice for most dogs. We tested the memory-foam version (the company also offers a bed with cooling gel foam and two types of so-called orthopedic foam). You can buy a replacement cover or foam insert , as well as an optional water-resistant mattress liner .

Its accessible design allows most dogs to get in and out. As a sofa-style bed, this FurHaven model has a front opening that’s several inches lower than the other three sides (the exact height depends on which size you get). So this model is more accessible for puppies or for adult dogs who might have a hard time stepping over tall bolsters. “If it hurts to lift up your leg and kind of flex all your joints, we don’t want a high edge on it,” said Dr. Barbro Filliquist.

The supportive foam conforms to your dog’s shape. The memory-foam version we tested has a full slab of so-called orthopedic foam as a support base, and it’s topped by a layer of viscoelastic foam (PDF) , which is supposed to contour around the dog’s shape. When I lay on the bed, it was comfortable, especially the Jumbo size, which has 4 inches of foam (compared with the 3 inches of the smaller sizes). The mattress was supportive but also had a good amount of give, so it wasn’t overly stiff. The foam insert has been certified by CertiPUR-US , a foam-industry nonprofit that tests for ozone depleters and common chemicals that may worsen indoor air quality and harm human health.

The cover is soft and easy to clean. The 100% polyester cover felt soft, and among the beds we tested, it was one of the easiest to spot-clean. With just a few wipes of a wet sponge, dried mud and fake vomit slid off the fibers, and the mattress section’s white fake fur allowed us to easily see when it was clean. After three rounds in a washer and dryer, the material still looked great, and it didn’t mat or clump together like the material of some of the other furry beds we tested.

Assembly is straightforward. This FurHaven bed arrives compressed in three pieces: the mattress, the bolster, and the cover. It was easy to assemble, but it took the mattress foam a few days to fully expand. Because the cover material is loose and floppy, you need to hold it taut to keep it in place when zipping it closed.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The cover doesn’t protect the foam from crud. In our tests, the polyester cover cleaned up easily, but fluids, dirt, and fur passed through it and collected on the top layer of the foam mattress. You can spot-clean the foam, but you cannot machine-wash it. If your dog is prone to liquid accidents, we recommend getting FurHaven’s water-resistant mattress liner , which will help prolong the life of the bed.

Its low price comes at a cost. The foam and the cover aren’t likely to hold up as long under normal use as the materials of some of the higher-priced beds we recommend . We’ve also seen a few negative reviews online that mention the zipper breaking, while others claim that the quality has declined recently. We’ll be keeping an eye on these issues in our long-term testing, to see if they persist.

Sizes: four (a fifth size, the small, was recently discontinued) Colors: three

One of our picks for best dog beds, the Majestic Suede Bagel Dog Bed.

The Majestic Suede Bagel Dog Bed has been a pick since 2017, thanks to its overstuffed insert, durable cover, and cuddly shape. The Bagel Dog Bed comes in four sizes, is machine-washable, and has a water-resistant bottom that keeps liquids from seeping through to the floor.

The cozy shape may appeal to a dog’s nesting instincts. Cuddlers and other doughnut-shaped bolstered beds like this Majestic model “mimic that dirt hole that [dogs] used to have before they were inside homes, so you see them curling up and sometimes even fluffing it up with their paws, trying to rearrange the nest,” said Dr. Leticia Fanucchi. This shape works well for dogs who like to sleep curled up in a ball; this is another instinct held over from before dogs had access to indoor heating, which helps them maintain their body temperature, according to both Fanucchi and Dr. Filliquist. But if you get the right size, the Bagel Dog Bed can also accommodate other sleeping positions; on frosty nights, Dave curled up with his back and shoulders against the bolsters, but on warmer days, he sprawled out with his head hanging off of the bolster.

It’s overstuffed to accommodate digging and settling. The polyester-fiberfill insert and bolster are overstuffed in comparison with other doughnut-style beds. This is because “within a couple of weeks after the nesting starts happening, it goes down to the level it should be,” said Matthew Ziemnicki, sales manager for Majestic Pet Products. The polyfill is flexible enough for a dog to dig around in, so they can prepare their sleep spot without damaging the insert.

The cover is soft and durable. In our tests, the polyester faux-suede cover held up well to repeated swipes with the meat shredder and the garden claw; it didn’t pull or tear after 50 hard passes with each tool. The meat shredder initially left some stripes, but they turned out to be just variations in the direction of the suede, and the lines vanished with the swipe of a hand.

No assembly necessary. The Bagel Dog Bed arrives preassembled, unlike other beds we tested. We simply took it out of the box, fluffed it a bit, and put it on the floor. Dave was snoozing in it within minutes.

A dog bed at this price won’t last forever. Eventually, the materials will wear out, especially if you wash it regularly or your pup is tough on it. But you should expect to get at least a couple of years out of it, as long as your dog isn’t a big chewer. And it could possibly last longer, if you’re handy with a needle and thread.

The cover may still show traces of dirt or discoloration, even after you spot-clean it. But stains are largely dependent on which color you choose. The bed we tested was navy, which disguised most marks. But when we looked at the bed under a flashlight, we could still make out a faded spot where we had soaked it with Nature’s Miracle to bust up lingering odors.

When you need to wash the cover, this bed is annoying to take apart and reassemble. The bed’s two zippers, one for the bolster and one for the mattress, are located deep in the crevice between those two sections, where dirt and debris also collect. And the bagel shape is not for every dog. For “dogs that have osteoarthritis affecting their joints, it may actually be uncomfortable, and they may not be able to get into a tight curl position,” Filliquist said.

One of our upgrade picks for best dog beds, the Orvis RecoveryZone ToughChew Lounger Dog Bed.

The Orvis RecoveryZone ToughChew Lounger Dog Bed has a damage-resistant cover, a comfortable mix of foams, and a rock-solid warranty. We tested the ToughChew Lounger as well as Orvis’s pricier bolstered RecoveryZone Couch Dog Bed with standard fabric. Both beds earned high scores in nearly all of our tests. If your dog isn’t a big chewer, Orvis’s regular-upholstery lounger is less expensive than the ToughChew version of the lounger, and it’s just as nice.

Two types of foam make this bed feel great. The dual layers of foam offered the best combination of softness and support in our tests. In separate tests, the upper layer conformed to my body as well as to Dave’s, while the 4-inch base kept us from sinking through to the floor. The upper layer is a proprietary foam that “shares a lot of the same properties as memory foam … but it doesn’t hold heat the way memory foam will, or cold,” said Brandon Jorgensen, senior product designer at Orvis. We didn’t test for temperature regulation, but I can say that the RecoveryZone beds were the most comfortable dog beds I tried.

The cover is soft and durable, and it hides fur. All RecoveryZone dog-bed covers use a weave designed to camouflage fur and dirt. In our tests, after a few weeks of dog-fur buildup, the covers didn’t look pristine, but they did look better than many of the other beds we evaluated. The ToughChew cover has an added ripstop-nylon layer adhered to the underside that is meant to resist chewing, digging, and punctures; Orvis backs this claim with its ToughChew Guarantee. The standard fabric is still durable enough for regular use, and both versions of the cover withstood our meat shredders and garden claws. But if you have a particularly destructive dog, the ToughChew fabric might be worth the additional expense.

Attention to the details is clearly evident. Both the ToughChew and standard RecoveryZone covers have a strong, smooth zipper that tucks neatly away, safe from curious dog mouths. Both beds also have two hidden, sleeve-like handles, which make the beds easy to move around (and dogs don’t have yet another thing to chew on). Each model comes with clear instructions for assembly, though we found the directions especially helpful when putting together the couch bed: The mattress insert and three bolsters are labeled with a letter that matches a corresponding spot inside the cover. The inserts are covered by water-resistant liners, which kept the foam underneath pristine during our spill tests.

The company has a generous replacement policy. Orvis protects all RecoveryZone beds with its storewide Great Catch Guarantee, which covers at least one no-charge replacement if your dog damages the bed. The ToughChew Guarantee goes even further, qualifying for two replacements and then a refund, if those don’t hold up to your dog’s best (or worst) efforts.

The RecoveryZone beds cost a lot. With the standard fabric, Orvis’s RecoveryZone lounger is far more expensive than our other top picks. If you opt for Orvis’s ToughChew cover, the price rises to almost five times that of the FurHaven bed. The couch versions are even more expensive.

It can be hard to know whether the bed is clean or dirty. In our spot-clean tests, we had difficulty determining whether we had removed all of the dirt and vomit because the weave was almost too good at masking filth. We recommend regular vacuuming and washing, no matter how clean the bed may look.

Another upgrade pick for best dog bed, the Lay Lo Dog Bed.

The Lay Lo Dog Bed is a stylish model with lots of cover options, including limited-edition collaborations with a variety of designers and artists. The company offers a generous, 30-day “no questions asked” return policy , so you can try the bed at home and send it back if your dog snubs it.

Some covers are constructed from recycled material. Lay Lo’s covers are made from a polyester knit, and on its newest designs, the company has started to use threads made from GRS-certified recycled materials. The company has said the process of fully switching over to recycled materials could take between six months and a year, so many of the in-stock patterns may still use yarn made without this certification. We tested the red-and-white checkered design, which is made from recycled bottles (but it doesn’t yet have GRS certification). We also tested the green grid pattern, which is a standard polyester knit.

There are various designs to choose from. Lay Lo has more than two-dozen cover designs, including terrazzo, houndstooth, and chevrons. It also does limited-edition collaborations; its partnerships have included fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra and singer-songwriter John Legend . If you’re drawn to more than one design, you can buy extra covers separately.

It’s easy to set up and easy to clean. The Lay Lo bed arrives in three pieces—a vacuum-packed mattress, a folded cover, and a leather handle cover—and it was one of the simplest beds to assemble of those we tested. That also made it one of the easiest models to undress (and re-dress) when we washed the cover.

The zipper wraps around a nonslip bottom. The three-sided zipper on the bottom of the bed opens like a book, so accessing the mattress is easier than with most of the other beds we tested. There is also a small pocket to tuck away the tempting, dangly pull tab. The cover has a grippy bottom, which helps keep the bed from sliding across bare floors. And the mattress insert is covered with a water-resistant fabric, which kept the foam beneath clean and dry during our liquid tests. The company offers an additional waterproof liner, and this might be a good option if your dog has frequent bathroom mishaps.

It has a thinner mattress. The Lay Lo bed’s insert is on the thinner side compared with those of our other picks, so it might not work as a primary bed for large breeds or chunky pups. The mattress is made of two layers (a so-called orthopedic support foam topped by a soft layer of polyfill); it held up in testing but wasn’t as comfortable as our other picks.

The cover isn’t as soft as those of our top picks. The cover is not quite as plush as the material on other beds we tested, but it also isn’t rough or prickly. The stretchy woven fabric did well in most of our durability tests, with the exception of a small pull appearing, after we worked it over with the meat shredders. The pull never grew, and it’s so small that it’s easy to overlook. But it’s still an indicator that this bed may not be the best choice to expose to sharp puppy teeth.

Tiny bits of dirt can get stuck in the weave. During our spot-cleaning tests, it took a little extra work to get the mud and fake vomit out of the stretchy fabric, since tiny bits were stuck in between the threads. With some vigorous scrubbing using a toothbrush, we got most of it out. After a round in the washing machine, the cover was spotless again.

A gray and black K&H Original Pet Cot.

Dogs who run hot or love snoozing outdoors will enjoy K&H’s Original Pet Cot , a Wirecutter pick since 2017. The mesh is breathable and supportive enough to ensure a comfortable resting spot.

It’s great for the outdoors and helps keep dogs cool. The K&H hammock offers a great balance of sturdiness and springiness. A water-resistant heavy- denier fabric makes up the outer edge, where the material connects to the frame, while the inner section is made of a flexible mesh. This material is designed to let air flow through from below, which can help keep your dog cool in hotter temperatures. Both fabrics held up well to our digging and chewing tests; the mesh occasionally got caught on the sharp, pointy edges of our meat shredders, but the material always bounced back and showed no visible damage.

The sturdy frame is light. The metal tubes of the frame and legs are held together by plastic corner connectors, so the cot is fairly easy to put together and take apart. The frame is strong enough to hold weights up to 200 pounds (or 300 pounds for the XL), yet it is light enough that most people can move the cot around with relative ease.

The company has a dog-friendly return policy. Elevated beds are not for every dog. Dave and Hunter both refused to get on it at first, since neither of them are allowed on “elevated” people furniture. If your dog rejects it—or, worse, figures out how to destroy it—K&H offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for the first 60 days, if you bought the cot directly from the company’s website. If your dog chews through a plastic corner on day 61, or the fabric gets irredeemably filthy, K&H sells replacement parts and other accessories.

The cot’s assembly process is more involved than that of a standard dog bed. The K&H cot arrives with two of the frame poles already inserted into the hammock piece, so you just have to insert the long ends and attach the corner connectors and legs. For the larger sizes (we tested a large), you then need to tighten the hook and loop flap on one end to pull the fabric taut. We found that this was the hardest part. And it took us a few tries, each resulting in a cockeyed frame, with one foot not touching the floor. K&H recommends placing something heavy on the cot to level it out—I reclined on it instead (it was comfy), and that did the trick.

Mud and fake vomit can get embedded in the mesh fabric. Using a toothbrush to spot-clean all of the filth was difficult. The gunk didn’t fully come out until we hosed down the cot outside. We let it sit in the sun after that, but it took several hours to dry. When all else fails, you can toss the cover into a washing machine, but don’t use a dryer.

Due to the bed’s height, getting on and off might be a big step for some dogs. Since the cot sits 7 to 9 inches off the ground (depending on the size you purchase), it isn’t well suited for dogs with arthritis or other mobility issues.

A green and leaf print The Molly Mutt Bed.

The Molly Mutt Bed isn’t actually a bed at all: It’s a customizable duvet cover and fitted mesh stuff sack that you can fill with soft things you already have lying around. The company does sell a complete bed with a wool-stuffed insert. But we think the duvet system is a better choice, since it helps reduce waste by allowing buyers to upcycle items that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

You can choose your own insert. You can stuff practically anything soft into the Molly Mutt cover: salvageable foam from a previous dog bed whose cover wore out, a pile of old clothes, or even a second-hand crib mattress . We took a few worn-out pillows, a comforter, and some clothing we’d been meaning to donate, and we shoved it all into the cover. In less than five minutes, we had a fully functional dog bed (and more room in our closet).

Two pillows, a Molly Mutt water-resistant liner, and the Molly Mutt bed cover, side by side.

You can mend the cover yourself—or the company can do it for you. The 100% cotton canvas cover material handily withstood our clawing, scratching, and yanking. But, as with many things dogs regularly use, it won’t last forever. The Climate Neutral Certified company helps customers get the most mileage out of their covers through its in-house repair service (for a fee); it also sells fabric patches , so you can match the material and stitch up any rips yourself, if you prefer. The covers are Oeko-Tex–certified , which means they’ve been independently tested and found to be harmless to human health. The company says it plans to certify its covers with the Global Organic Textile Standard for cotton in the next year.

Molly Mutt offers great designs and useful accessories. The covers come in a variety of creative designs, and the result resembles a couch cushion. The Molly Mutt Bed package includes a cover and a stuff sack. But you can add a stuffable bolster attachment as well as an optional water-resistant liner (which we recommend if your dog is prone to leaking; note that it makes a crinkly noise when your dog moves around on it). You can also get the company’s wool mattress insert , if you don’t want to stuff the cover yourself. This was one of the coziest we lay on, but it initially gives off a distinct farm-animal smell. The odor dissipates over time, so if you think the initial smell won’t bother you, the company’s Sheepy Wool-Filled Bed —which comes with both the cover and insert—is another great option.

A bed filled with old clothes and blankets gets heavy. Once stuffed, The Molly Mutt Bed was harder to move around than similar-size beds filled with foam or polyfill. However, since this bed doesn’t have a nonslip base, the extra weight also stopped it from flying across the floor whenever Dave woke up with a sudden burst of energy.

Certain soaps can make some of the fabrics fade. The Molly Mutt duvet cover is strong and durable. But we saw a tiny bit of fading where we had used dish soap to spot-clean one of the organic cotton fabrics. Molly Mutt’s site has a list of detergent ingredients to avoid in order to prevent fading or discoloration, which is not something everyone pays attention to (including us). It didn’t fade in the spots where we used only water and elbow grease. The Molly Mutt Bed was also one of the models that took the longest to machine-dry.

A FurHaven Trail Pup Packable Pet Pillow

The FurHaven Trail Pup Packable Pet Pillow is a simple, portable dog bed that is great for picnics, camping, and backyard hangs. It resembles a single layer of a sleeping bag, and its slick outer shell makes spot-cleaning a breeze.

The slick fabric resists liquids and cleans up easily. Unlike on most of the other beds we tested, on the Trail Pup bed’s polyester outer layer, the fluid from our simulated puke and wet mud mostly pooled, so it was easy to dab up with paper towels and a sponge. The dried mud required a little extra oomph from a wet toothbrush, but after we put in a minute or two of scrubbing, no visible trace remained. The slick surface doesn’t trap fur, dirt, or grass, even after spending a few days outside. And since the bed has no insert to remove, you can just throw it in the washer and dryer if it gets really mucked up.

You can take it almost anywhere. This bed’s simplicity makes it versatile. It comes with its own stuff sack, so you can pack it into a backpack or throw it in the car. The bed provides a great temperature barrier between your dog’s body and the ground, but it can also serve as a crate mat or a blanket when the weather starts to get chilly.

It doesn’t provide support. The Trail Pup bed is filled with polyester batting, which provides a touch of cushioning but isn’t supportive at all, so we don’t recommend this model as your dog’s main bed. It’s also thinner than a similar travel bed we tested. And its slick surface, while easy to clean, isn’t especially cozy. So if your dog prefers soft fabrics or has thin fur, this model might not be the best choice.

It’s not puppy-proof. The Trail Pup bed suffered some punctures from our meat shredders, so it probably won’t hold up to the teeth of a puppy or any dog who likes to chew. The bed also has a little nylon hanging loop and a few paper care tags hanging off the edge, and we caught Dave lightly mouthing these (even though he’s usually a very good boy). These flappy things may be attractive to your dog, too, so you might be inclined to cut them off.

Four other good dog beds covering an area in a room.

If you want a striking, durable dog bed that you never have to machine-wash: Le Dog’s Le Bed has a full-grain, slightly textured leather cover that will last longer than most fabrics; this may make it worth the steep price tag over time (the smallest size currently costs around $270). The cover doesn’t need to be machine-washed; in our tests, both mud and “vomit” came right off with a paper towel and a wet sponge. Nature’s Miracle neutralized a faint odor that lingered in the seams.

The zipper performed well, but its two pulls are dangly and exposed, which may be irresistible to dogs who like to mouth on things. The bed also lacks handles, so it’s annoying to move around the house. The leather is soft and supple, yet it stood up to our clawing and shredding tests, exhibiting only the faintest of marks. But because the material is slippery, it might slide around bare floors if a dog jumps on or off of it.

The interior has two layers of foam, consisting of roughly 3.5 inches of support layer topped by about 2 inches of cooling gel memory foam. In our tests, the foam had a slow springiness, which helped make this bed one of the most comfortable we tried, on a par with only the Orvis beds. If your dog prefers plush or furry fabrics that keep them warm at night, this bed isn’t a good fit. Otherwise, it’s an excellent option, as long as you aren’t bothered by the high price or the use of animal products.

If you want a bed made specifically for large dogs: Made in the USA, the Big Barker Orthopedic Dog Bed is a thick, multilayered bed that’s designed for large and giant-breed dogs. We’re usually skeptical of dog beds touted as orthopedic. But this one offers plenty of support, with three layers of foam, totaling 7 inches overall—more than in any other bed we tested. The foam is light, but it’s dense and durable. This model is noticeably firmer than the other beds we tried, so it might be too stiff for lighter dogs.

The bed is made from CertiPUR -US –certified open-cell foam , which is supposed to allow air to move through it to help with temperature regulation. The cover, which is made of upholstery similar to microsuede, initially showed distinct lines where we dragged our claw and meat shredders over it, but those marks vanished when we rubbed a hand over the surface. The fabric was easy to spot-clean. We could initially make out a darker shade where we had saturated it with Nature’s Miracle, but that disappeared after the first wash.

The optional waterproof liner was a pain to put on because it wasn’t entirely clear to us which side was up (we’re still not sure). But it prevented liquids from penetrating to the foam layer, so we recommend springing for it.

The Big Barker bed is expensive, currently around $240 for the smallest size (which is still large enough for a golden retriever), but the company offers a 10-year warranty against the foam flattening. Damage to the fabric is not covered. If your dog doesn’t like the Big Barker bed for any reason, you can return it during the first year for a full refund.

If you want a versatile, portable dog bed with lots of extras for traveling or camping: The Timberdog RuffRest is like the Transformer of dog beds. Currently costing $260 for a size small, it’s not cheap, but it has several features that make it a great option for anyone who travels a lot with their dog. It’s made of a 900D nylon shell and a sherpa-fleece bed surface. The medium and large sizes pack up into a tight, portable roll that you can carry with a grab handle or shoulder strap, but the small size is too little to fold up.

When this model is in bed mode, a zipper around three sides lets you open it like a book, to reach a hangable insert with several zippered pouches—for organizing things that your dog may need on your trip. Picture the dog version of a rollable garment bag, except instead of putting in a suit, you can fill it with kibble and toys.

The pillow area hides a mini blanket, which you can zip over your dog if they get chilly. And a clip-on shoulder strap, hidden in a pocket, can do double duty as a leash in a pinch.

The foam isn’t thick, but in our tests it still felt dense and cushy under the sherpa fleece top layer. While the sherpa fleece withstood most of our violent attacks, our sharp meat shredders carved up some of the soft material, leaving a slight dip in the surface. We also saw some discoloration from the mud and “vomit” left over on the white sherpa fleece after our spot-cleaning, but that came out after the bed went one round in a washing machine. The outer nylon shell is durable, but it makes a plasticky crumpling sound whenever a dog moves around on the bed. So if you need absolute silence at night, this bed might not work for you.

A Kuranda Silver Aluminum Dog Bed.

If you want a rugged, elevated cot that can stand up to most destructive dogs: The Kuranda Silver Aluminum Dog Bed is a durable indoor/outdoor cot. It has tough fabrics and a thick aluminum frame—intended to stymie even the most determined chewers. Made in the USA, this cot is heavier than the K&H cot and costs three times as much. But it might be worth the investment to avoid continually sending damaged beds to the landfill.

The frame and three of Kuranda’s four available fabric types are guaranteed to resist damage for up to a year after purchase, or the company will replace it. The only fabric not covered is the Outdoor Mesh, which we tested along with the Heavy Duty Vinyl version, the company’s best seller.

The Outdoor Mesh version’s open weave allows air to pass through, as on the K&H cot, so it is a great option for dogs who run hot. Some mud and fake puke got stuck in the fabric, but most of the mess came out with a toothbrush and a strong jet of water from a hose. This model dried in 30 minutes under the sun, while the K&H cot took more than two hours to dry. The Heavy Duty Vinyl version was easier to clean than the Outdoor Mesh cot—everything wiped right off its nonporous surface. But it was also stiffer and less comfortable than the Outdoor Mesh model.

This Kuranda cot is the only dog bed we tested that requires tools (a wrench and a screwdriver) to put together. So if you’re handy and want a cot that can resist harsh treatment from dogs and weather, it’s a great choice.

The Casper Dog Bed used to be a pick in this guide. But the quality has been inconsistent, so the price is no longer justified. The two sample beds we tested each had a foam bolster that never fully expanded. Some owners  have noted similar issues . Overall, the bed felt comfortable, and the main foam insert was soft and supportive. The soft, suede-like cover did well in our torture tests, but it trapped fur and looked dirty after only a few days. And where we’d soaked it with Nature’s Miracle, it retained a faint water stain, even after we machine-washed it three times. Still, if the Casper bed’s style appeals to you, and you think your dog will like it, the company offers a generous 30-night trial, so you can try it risk-free.

The FurHaven Ultra Plush Luxe Lounger Pet Bed , another former pick, has a soft cover and a supportive slab of foam inside, but in our durability and wash tests, it didn’t hold up as well as our newer picks. Using the meat shredders, we were able to claw some of the fake fur loose. And getting the mud out was more difficult than with most of the other beds we tested. Liquid and water passed easily through the cover, staining the foam underneath, and the cover shrank a little in the washing machine, so the bed was hard to reassemble. The fake fur felt weirdly crunchy in the areas where we had spot-cleaned it, even after three rounds at the laundromat.

The PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed , another former pick, is still a decent bed, but in our testing, its poly-cotton twill cover held on to stains, even after we washed it three times. (The bed does come with a waterproof liner to protect the foam, however.) The foam mattress felt great at first, but it fully compressed under our weight after just a few minutes. That squishiness and lack of support may make it hard for a dog with mobility issues to get in and out of this bed. And this bed is heavier than most of the other models we tested.

The insert on Approved by Fritz’s The Fritz Bed felt cheap, like an oversize airplane pillow. The fill never quite settled or spread out evenly. And the bed is available in only one size. The cover, however, is durable, cleans up easily, and comes in three stylish designs. So if you don’t mind this one’s price, you can buy the cover separately and fill it with your own stuffing.

The Chuckit Travel Pillow Dog Bed is softer and thicker than the FurHaven Trail Pup bed, but it won’t do so well if your dog has an accident on the go. Though the material on top is cozier, it didn’t clean up as well as that of the FurHaven Trail Pup in our spill tests, and it came out of the washing machine with a small stain.

Best Friends by Sheri’s The Original Calming Donut Dog Bed in Shag Fur had thinner, flimsier inserts than the Majestic bagel-style bed, and the fill moved around so much that it left empty spots where we could feel the floor beneath. The zipper arrangement is more convenient than on the Majestic bed, but the cover also got gross quickly, and it was a pain to clean up in our spot testing. It didn’t fare any better in the washing machine, where the shag material got matted and stuck together.

The Pendleton National Park Pillow Dog Bed often pops up in gift guides and magazines, and while this bed is attractive and cozy-looking, it’s not as durable or supportive as our picks.

In our 2022 round of testing, panelists said that the FurHaven Orthopedic L Chaise Dog Bed with cooling gel foam had an abrasive polyester that their dogs wouldn’t get near. And the bed sizes were too small for their long-legged pups to enjoy.

The Orvis ComfortFill-Eco Couch Dog Bed is a well-made, plush option that retains its shape nicely and is easy to wash. For the price, however, Orvis’s foam-based RecoveryZone beds would offer more support and be better options.

The canvas fabric on the Tuft & Needle Dog Bed helps with durability. In the process, however, it sacrifices comfort, making this one of the “rougher” beds that our 2022 panelists and their dogs tested.

We liked the way the BarksBar Orthopedic Dog Bed looked, as well as the rubber dots for grip on its underside. But we encountered problems after washing and drying this bed, as dozens of those little dots fell off in the dryer—on the delicate cycle. And it was difficult to re-stuff the bolsters and get the bed back to its original shape.

In our 2017 testing, L.L.Bean’s Premium Dog Couch was the most difficult bed to reassemble, with interior zippers and notches in the bolster that had to be put in place just so. For a bed at this price, we had expected nice materials, and though the denim exterior fit the bill, the stuffing was just polyester fill, rather than memory foam (or a comparable premium material found in similarly priced competitors). L.L.Bean used to have a lifetime satisfaction guarantee, but it now offers a one-year warranty , so if you do have issues with this bed, keep that in mind.

We’ll be testing a few options from Costco in the future, namely the Kirkland Signature 40″ Round Nest Pet Bed and the Brentwood Originals Waterproof Memory Foam Faux Fur Pet Mat .

We also plan to do a deeper dive into crate mats, a specific type of dog bed that’s thinner and intended to fit inside a crate, for a bit of comfort. Since such mats are portable and easy to throw in the wash, they’re great for travel, even if you’re not taking a crate. The MidWest QuietTime Deluxe Ombré Swirl Bed used to be one of our dog-bed picks, but technically it’s a crate mat, and we still stand by it in that category. And even though we dismissed the Pendleton National Park Pillow Dog Bed , we plan on testing the company’s crate-mat option, the Pendleton Dog Comfort Cushion , which features the same popular national park designs.

It's all about the gently raised rim that creates a sense of security (and provides head and neck support) and the super-soft filling that offers joint and muscle relief. After all, chasing after toys and having the zoomies can really take it out of them! Associate Shopping editor Jessica Cherner says, "My 20-pound cockapoo basically lives in this bed. No matter how hyped up she is, the second she plops into this bed, she's out within minutes."

If this pup's smile is any indication, this is a luxury dog bed for only the most pampered pooches. It comes in two sizes, the smaller of which works for dogs as little as 15 pounds (think toy poodles, dachshunds, and Boston terriers) and the larger for pups up to 100 pounds. Both sizes come in cool-toned earthy shades, including the quarry blue micro-velvet pictured. Aesthetics aside, it includes a 1.5-inch thick orthopedic foam cushion set atop a lofty spun-polyester fill that relieves pressure points and provides support. As for the material, the micro-velvet repels pet hair, dirt, bacteria, and moisture; doesn't pill; and cools in the summer and warms in the winter.

This dog pillow may look a bit thin compared to the others on this list, but looks are deceiving. It's made of orthopedic shredded memory foam, which reduces pressure points and encourages more airflow, giving your dog a breathable place to lounge without overheating. Did we mention it's available in seven sizes?

If you want your pup to have their own fluffy dog couch , consider this three-in-one pet oasis. Covered in polyester knit sherpa fur (it's fake; don't worry!), the bed features a top cover and sheltering bolsters that are easily be removed. What's more, you can unfold it and drape the base across your sofa so that your pooch can lounge beside you.

Tuft & Needle Dog Bed

When you buy a Tuft & Needle mattress, the beloved brand offers a 100-day sleep trial to ensure you're 100% satisfied with your new bed. The brand extends the same courtesy to your dogs. Snag this bed (in two colors and sizes) and let your pooch snooze for 100 days before deciding if you're going to keep it or send it back. Based on how zen this Australian shepherd is, we're going to assume you'll be keeping it. Here's why: The foam base provides support while the padded cushion offers endless coziness. Not to mention, the foam pad cushion is detachable and can easily fit in any dog crate for travel.

Crate & Barrel Linden Dog Day Bed

This minimalist midcentury-inspired dog bed is crafted from engineered wood and high-density foam that keeps its shape—no matter how often your dog crashes on it. Better yet, hidden velcro keeps the cushions attached to the frame and allows for easy removal. The water-resistant cover comes in a neutral oatmeal color that'll match pretty much any decor.

If we had to pick the most luxurious dog bed on our carefully curated list, we'd go with the Whitby. After all, how many dog beds come with a canopy? The level of luxury is certainly reflected in the original price (nearly $1,000!) but it's recently gone on sale for more than 50% off, so if you're in the market for a show-stopping dog bed, now is your chance. It fits dogs up to 100 pounds and is complete with high-density foam fill padding. This luxury dog bed is fit for royalty.

Some dogs—especially small lapdogs—are extra cuddly, so giving them a place all their own to snuggle up with is a good call. This one features an adjustable cuff with snap closures, so that you can easily raise the edge to suit your dog's size and, after a few days (or weeks) toss it in the wash.

If you love your Casper mattress , why not get your dog a bed engineered by the same folks? This one is made of two-layer memory foam and comes with a removable cover for easy washing. Better yet, it has sewn-in pockets to hide the metal zippers to ensure they don't scratch your floors. It comes in three sizes and just as many colors, so no matter your dog—big or small—you'll find something they'll love.

Serena & Lily Riviera Dog Bed

If this lightweight dog bed's frame looks familiar, that's because it coordinates with Serena & Lily 's famous Riviera furniture collection. Available in two sizes and colors, it features a handcrafted rattan frame and plush cushion with an easy-to-clean slipcover.

Harry Barker Plaid Sherpa Dog Bed

Plaid Sherpa Dog Bed

We've never seen a happier-looking dog than this doodle. We're going to credit his subtle smile to the plush dog bed, which is filled with recycled plastic bottles and covered with a machine-washable plaid fabric. It's also channel-quilted to prevent shifting, so the fill will never end up on one side and become uncomfortable. It's also BPA-, phthalate-, lead-, and latex-free.

Mark & Graham Sherpa Dog Bed

Sherpa Dog Bed

We couldn't help including this adorable sherpa dog bed. You may not be able to tell because the Frenchie is sitting on it, but the cushion is overstuffed with high-density foam that provides a plush pad for easy lounging, and it's enclosed with a zippered removable cover that's machine washable. We suggest getting it embroidered with your pet's name for a sweet and personal touch.

What type of dog beds do dogs like best?

hearst owned

Dogs are most comfortable lying flat, so opting for a bed with lots of cushioning (to protect their joints) is key. In terms of shape, opt for round or oval because, when a dog is curled up, they're often a bit round, making a square or rectangular shape difficult.

Are expensive dog beds worth it?

Some expensive dog beds are definitely worth it. After all, dogs won't be too precious with their bed, so if you get something cheap, chances are, your pooch will rip it to shreds. If you buy something high quality, it will be designed to last.

Why trust us?

Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner has not one, but three dogs, so she's been shopping for pup-related goods for a long time. These are all luxury dog beds she'd snag for her own pooches. They're reasonably priced and super cozy, two musts when shopping for dog accessories.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Best Travel Dog Beds

Navigating the world of travel dog beds can be a challenge, especially with so many factors to consider. This guide aims to simplify the process, helping you make an informed choice that aligns with both your needs and those of your canine companion.

One of the first things to look at when choosing a travel dog bed is its size. It’s essential to select a bed that fits your dog comfortably . Measure your dog while they’re lying down in their natural sleeping position. Then, add a few inches to these measurements to ensure the bed provides enough space for your pet to stretch out and switch positions.

The material of the dog bed plays a crucial role in its longevity and your pet’s comfort. Opt for durable yet comfortable materials that can withstand the wear and tear of travel. Some common materials used in travel dog beds include heavy-duty polyester and nylon, known for their durability and resistance to damage.

Portability

When it comes to travel dog beds, portability is key. Look for options that are foldable or come with a carry bag for easy transportation. The lighter and more compact the bed, the easier it will be to carry around during your travels.

Washability

Consider whether the travel dog bed is washable. Being able to clean the bed easily is a significant advantage, especially after a long trip. It helps maintain hygiene and provides a clean and comfortable space for your pet to rest.

Safety is also an important factor when selecting a travel dog bed. Look for beds with non-skid bottoms that will prevent them from slipping or sliding around while in transit. Additionally, many pet owners opt for beds with raised edges as this helps keep your pup warm and comfortable during chilly nights. Keep in mind that durable fabrics are also ideal as they provide. If you’re going to be traveling in the car with your pet, you may want something with seat belt loops to attach the bed to the car, as well as a harness clip to keep your dog safe on car rides.

An often-overlooked feature, insulation is crucial when choosing a travel dog bed. Make sure to select a bed that can retain heat, especially if you’re planning trips during colder seasons. Some beds come with thermal padding or a reflective feature that utilizes your pet’s own body heat to keep them warm.

Thermal Padding

Thermal padding is a common insulation method. This material heats up in response to your pet’s body temperature, providing a comfortable and warm surface for them to rest on.

Reflective Features

Some dog beds come with reflective materials that return your pet’s body heat back to them. This is an efficient way to keep your pet warm without the need for electricity or batteries.

While functionality is paramount, the design of the travel dog bed is also important. The bed should not only suit your pet’s needs but also blend in with your style and the interior design of your vehicle or travel accommodation.

Style and Color

Dog beds come in an assortment of styles and colors. Thus, you can select one that matches your aesthetic preferences and your pet’s personality.

Fit with Travel Accommodation

Consider the size and shape of your vehicle or travel accommodation. The bed should fit well within the available space while offering enough room for your pet.

Finally, consider the price of the travel dog bed. It’s important to invest in a quality product that will last for numerous trips, but that doesn’t mean you need to break the bank. There are plenty of affordable options that offer comfort and durability.

A travel dog bed should be able to stand up to wear and tear from frequent trips. Invest in a high-quality product with a durable construction and make sure to check the warranty information before you buy.

Quality vs Cost

While higher-priced beds often offer superior quality, there are many budget-friendly options that don’t compromise on comfort and durability. Conduct thorough research and read reviews before making a decision.

Most importantly, ensure that the bed you purchase is suitable for your pet’s size and weight. After all, a comfortable travel experience for your furry companion will make your travels easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

Travel dog beds are an essential accessory for pet owners on the move. Bearing in mind the varying needs of different pet owners, we’ve provided reviews for some key options you might consider. The Pet Life Travel-Nest Folding Travel Dog Bed is the best overall choice. If portability and ease of transportation are your top priorities, the Frisco Travel Pillow Dog Bed with Reusable Storage Bag . For a premium choice, we like the FurHaven Mink Fur & Suede PillowTop Orthopedic Dog Bed .

"This bed has changed our lives!! Our Staffy used to wake us up every night crying because his blanket had fallen off him and he was cold. I’d spent months searching online for a solution but everything I found looked poor quality and / or looked horrible and not something I wanted on display in my house. Since he has had his Snuggle Cave Bed he is toasty and warm and happily sleeps through every night."

— Staffy Mum

"The quality of the bed is unbelievable, it’s made to last which I love,looks beautiful and feels so soft. It’s sturdy but so comfy and cosy I wish I could fit in there too. I bought the bed much bigger than my dog needs really but the extra room allows her to stretch right out and because it’s so cosy and warm she doesn’t feel the need to curly up in such a tight ball anymore so she is making the use of the bigger size. I wish I found this bed for her years ago, she absolutely loves it."

— Michele B.

"Our 10yr old beagle/lab absolutely loves this bed. He spends most of his time in it. He can be fearful of many things and I thought he may be fearful of the canopy but it didn't faze him at all. The quality is top notch. It is easy to take apart to clean and it is very very soft. Our fur baby looks so comfortable that makes us want to get in there with him. It was definitely money well spent."

Best luxury dog beds: Cozy cribs for every age and stage

Send your canine companion to sleep on a cloud with the best luxury dog beds to suit every pampered pooch

Dog laying on one of the best luxury dog beds

The best luxury dog beds offer your pampered pooch somewhere to rest in comfort and style. While many of these incredible cribs are certainly easy on the eye and make great additions to style-conscious homes, health and wellbeing benefits for your dog have also been considered in this guide. These perfect picks go above and beyond what’s included in our standard best dog beds list. 

These brilliant beds are all made from high quality fabrics that look to offer therapeutic benefits for your pooch. A luxe dog bed can help to regulate body temperature, while the inclusion of memory foam can ease aches and pains by distributing body weight more evenly. 

Orthopedic dog beds are a great example of this. They're particularly ideal for senior dogs, but also for any dog recovering from illness, injury or surgery, or who regularly experiences muscle and joint pain.

Other items on our list are chosen for their ease of cleaning. Many of these top picks  come with water-resistant layers that trap urine and prevent it from soaking through onto your floors, and can easily be thrown into the washing machine in the event of an accident so no matter what style you're looking for, you've got peace of mind. 

From super stylish picks to orthopedic offerings, our perfect picks will help you find the right fit for your furkid.

Casper Memory Foam Luxury Dog Bed

Casper Memory Foam Dog Bed

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Mattress maker Casper now creates comfy sleep slabs not only for humans, but also for dogs. As a result, you get all the scientifically researched and designed smarts of human-grade mattresses, but for your pooch. That means pressure relieving memory foam, which is also orthopedic, making it a great option for older dogs whose achy joints will be eased by this comfort. It also means this will keep its shape for the long term. 

Beyond the full support this bed offers, there is the outer coating material, which is made from durable and chew-resistant bonded microfibers. All around the edges are raised bolsters so your pup will feel safe and sheltered, as well as kept cosy and warm. In the middle the material is intelligently designed with a soft top, which mimics the sensations of loose earth, something your dog can paw at for comfort. 

The outer is machine washable, and can be easily removed with the zip. But even this is designed intelligently with the zip hidden with sewn-in pockets so they won't scratch your floors or the dog.

The bed comes in three sizes of small at 26 x 19 x 6 inches for up to 30lb, medium at 33 x 25 x 6 inches for up to 60lb, and large at 45 x 35 x 7 inches for up to 90lb. Whichever you go for you get a 30-night risk-free trial. So if your pup, or you, don't like the mattress then you can simply send it back and get a full refund, no questions asked. The shipping to you and the returns are free, so this really is an easy way to give this dog bed a try before you truly buy.

All that adds up to one of the best luxury dog beds you can buy right now. The downside is that this is an expensive option and comes in only three color variants of blue, gray, and sand. Alright, we're struggling to find negatives here, hence this being at the number one spot making it the best luxury dog bed you can buy right now.

Earthbound Rectangular Removable Waterproof luxury dog bed

Earthbound Rectangular Removable Waterproof

This Earthbound dog bed gives you the best of a classic design combined with the affordability that a big brand name like this can offer. The result is a cheaper-than-most option which will serve most needs, namely keeping pooch comfy while also making your life easier when it comes to cleaning.

The bed is made from machine washable premium heavy duty polyester. Removing this for washing is great but another inspired touch is the ability to remove the inner cushioning too. This means you can flip the inner, much like you turn your own bed mattress. The result should be a consistent comfort for your dog, even if there is a lot of pawing and moving that might otherwise cause the cushion material to bunch up.

Back to that machine washable feature. This is good for up to a 40 degrees Celsius wash, which is plenty to get any stains or smells out. That makes this a viable option for all dog ages, including puppies. That said, the material is tough, but isn't specifically called chew-resistant, so don't expect this to withstand a constant attack from an anxious dog that tends to chew a lot. But this is a cheaper option than most, meaning it can be replaced without quite so much wallet pain as you might feel if you splash out on a claimed chew-resistant bed that your dog manages to destroy anyway.

The entire bed, even the inner, is waterproof, again making this ideal for puppies in training. Once your puppy has bladder matters under control, you can flip the material to a non-waterproof side that's made of comfy Sherpa.

This bed comes in four sizes and five colors, including blue, green, red, navy, and brown.

Bessie and Barnie Aspen Snow Leopard Luxury Extra Plush Faux Fur Rectangle Pet/Dog Bed

Bessie and Barnie Aspen Snow Leopard Luxury Extra Plush Faux Fur Rectangle Dog Bed

If you're looking for a super comfortable place for your fur baby to rest their head and you don't mind parting with a few extra pennies, this luxurious bed from Bessie and Barnie is well worth considering.

Made from extra plush fabric and faux fur, the bed is comprised of five large cushioned waterproof pillows that come together to create a surface that will leave your canine companion feeling like they're sleeping on a soft and cozy cloud.

The bed is reversible, so you can use it on both sides, and the cover zips off and is both machine washable and dryer friendly, so it'll be a breeze to keep clean. Available in sizes small through to extra large, this is a great bed for all breeds.

PetFusion Ultimate Lounge luxury dog bed

PetFusion Ultimate Lounge

PetFusion makes one type of bed, and sells it for both cats and dogs, but with this model only coming in large sizes, this is primarily more for canines. As such it's built to withstand the weight of heavier dogs while still offering lots of support and comfort thanks to its memory foam mattress. This is a medium firmness base that comes in large and extra-large, with four inches of depth or jumbo with six inches. There is also a recycled polyfill bolster around the edges to give the dog extra comfort, support, and warmth. Under the base is a waterproof liner to protect floors from any accidents, making this an ideal dog bed for carpets. 

Everything is covered with a durable cotton and polyester twill outer which manages to remain gentle on your dog's skin while also being tough enough to be chew-resistant. That anti-tear covering is water-resistant, but should it get wet or stained, it can be removed and machine washed in cold water. This is done easily using the YKK zips, made to high standards so they can withstand a lot of use.

The bed comes with a one year limited warranty, and is available in gray or brown color options. Pricing does vary massively based on the color you want, so if you're not picky then you could get yourself a good deal on this impressive mattress.

Purple Dog Bed luxury dog bed

Purple Dog Bed

The Purple Dog Bed is the pet world equivalent of the mattress-in-a-box revolution that changed human mattresses. That means it's designed scientifically to offer everything your dog needs and everything you want without compromises. As such, it's one of the most expensive options out there, but with a 100 day free trial it's definitely worth considering. 

The bed features a hypoallergenic and orthopedic mattress that's made from "luxurious Purple Grid support by a polyurethane foam base", says the company. That grid is designed to adapt to your dog's body so that it offers support and comfort for the deepest levels of relief and recharging.

The outer is also built to task with an antimicrobial, moisture-resistant, and odor-neutralizing material. This can be removed and put in the washing machine for easy cleaning. Since it's also ultra durable that means it should be able to last lots and lots of washes. It should also mean this is a bed built to withstand your dog, from claws to teeth, it’s made to resist and stay strong. It's also non toxic, so even if your dog does manage to get a mouthful or a good lick then you can relax knowing it won't do them any harm.

That 100-night free trial comes with free shipping and returns, so you can try before you decide with no commitment. Then you're covered by a one year warranty. The bed comes in small, medium, and large options, meaning there is a size for all types of dog. The fact it's got a super minimal finish and attractive grey color that goes with any room is just a bonus.

Snoozer Luxury Cozy Cave dog bed

Snoozer Luxury Cozy Cave

Snoozer is famous for its Cosy Cave style dog beds, and this Luxury model is the top-of-the-line option made for its Show Dog Collection. As such, it's a pricey dog bed, but one that's built to offer the very best materials for your dog's comfort. If your dog likes to have a cover and enjoys being warm then this is the perfect dog bed.

The interior is made from Sherpa, meaning it'll keep your dog warm and cosy during the colder months, but will breathe enough to make sure they're also cool during the warmer times. The base is filled with a cedar and poly mixture or, if you need, an orthopedic foam insert for extra support. The roof is kept up with a hidden rod so your dog can slip in and out without it falling in.

The outer material has a luxury microsuede material which is both machine washable and dryable. The heavy duty zips are brass, making them rust-proof so you can wash this as many times as you need knowing it will remain resilient and durable. It's not rated for water or chew resistance, so probably isn't ideal for puppies, but for dogs where that isn't an issue this is a great option for covered comfort.

There are three size options and over a whopping 40 different fabric colors to pick from. This comes from a brand that has been around since 1985, and is known for comfort so that steep price tag is justified with the peace of mind in knowing this is made well and built to last.

Best Friends by Sheri Luxury Shag Faux Fur Donut Cuddler Luxury Dog Bed

Best Friends by Sheri Luxury Shag Faux Fur Donut Cuddler

The donut shape of this Cuddler is ideal for getting very, very cosy. You know when your dog is so comfy its eyes move to follow you about the room but the head stays locked? You'll get that a lot with this little round bed of fluff. We say fluff, it's actually a faux shag fur which means it's not only comfy but is also machine washable. That's a good thing since this material, as you can imagine, isn't ideal for hairier dogs that molt a lot. 

Since this has that donut shape, it means the rim is raised up to keep the dog in for comfort, warmth, and security. That makes this a great option for a puppy that will love the safety this offers, as well as the soothing feeling that circling and pawing at it will give them. Also, the fact this will feel like their mother's fur coat is another really nice bonus for pup. That said, if the puppy is chewing, this isn't ideal, as it will get destroyed pretty quickly.

As such, expect this to get a lot of use. It's not built to be tough, so this also won't last a very long time, but this is so cheap it's an option that can be replaced as regularly as needed without it costing too much. Luxury dog bed comfort with an affordable price.

The bottom of this bed is both water and dirt resistant, making it great for both hard floors and carpets alike, even for pups who can be prone to accidents. Since this works in the washing machine, on cold, and also can be machine dried, it means any mess can be quickly and easily cleaned, so this bed is in top condition all the time. It'll also mean you don't need to worry about odors building up.

The dog bed comes in a mix of sizes, from a small 23-inch up to and XL 45-inch, and is available in taupe or frost colors.

Image of Quicksilver Pet Sofa with 3 small dogs sitting on it

Quicksilver Pet Sofa

This luxurious velvet sofa comes with faux-leather trim and a removable and washable cushion cover for easy cleaning. Suitable for dogs up to 30lbs and measuring 34" x 22.25" x 15", the sofa is perfect for small furkids.

With a rounded and curved back and cushioned arms, the sofa is ideal for dogs who like to sleep curled up or for leaner dogs who like a place to rest their head that’s slightly elevated. 

The micro-velvet cushion offers superior comfort and the raised legs prevent your pup from feeling a draft while they sleep. The sofa also comes with a handy storage pocket for toys, treats, and bones. 

Fully upholstered and made from high-quality durable materials of furniture-grade construction, this luxury dog bed offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and longevity. 

Furhaven Pet Elevated Platform Luxury Dog Bed

Furhaven Pet Elevated Platform Dog Bed

Super stylish and available in multiple finishes, Furhaven Pet Elevated Platform Dog Bed is perfect for posh pooches who don't like getting their paws dirty.

Its raised design comes in walnut, bamboo or gray wash and is both simple yet sophisticated enough to fit into any room of the home with ease and style.

Whether you have a small dog or a larger canine, it comes in multiple sizes, including a respectable jumbo size at 45.9 x 37 x 9.8 inches.

If you've been having trouble finding a dog bed that doesn't look cheap, Pet Elevated Platform Dog Bed is a generally a sturdy purchase in both design and material choice but it would benefit from having non-slip feet covers. 

Buyers may also be disappointed by having to source their own mattress; the bed frame doesn't contain one as standard.

For pet owners who have found the perfect mattress match, however, this luxury dog bed is providing the perfect size and comfort level for even the fussiest of canines.  

SEALY Dog Bed Lux Elite Pet Luxury Dog Bed

SEALY Dog Bed Lux Elite Pet Dog Bed

Well regarded for the quality mattresses they've long been creating for us humans, now your doggy can get in on all that comfort with this premium Sealy orthopedic dog bed that features four layers for the ultimate supportive sleeping space.

The quad layer technology consists of a cooling energy gel that regulates body temperature by dissipating heat away from the sleeping surface, memory foam that conforms to your pet's body and adapts to their movement, bio-orthopedic foam that eliminates pressure points by evenly distributing you pet’s weight on the bed, and a pro-charcoal HD foam base that aids in the absorption of odors.

Alongside all of this, you'll find a waterproof layer to trap any accidents your pet might have and prevent them from leaking through to your floors, a non-slip bottom to keep the bed in place, and a machine washable cover that makes freshening up the bed an absolute breeze.

DEWEL Pet Teepee Dog Playhouse luxury dog bed

DEWEL Pet Teepee Dog Playhouse

If you really want to spoil your little pooch, this teepee dog bed is simply adorable. Made from 100% cotton canvas and supported by pine poles, this Native American design offers style as well as comfort. What’s more, it doubles up as a fun tent to play games such as hide and seek! 

Designed for smaller pups, you can either choose a tepee with a height ranging up to 15inches or a larger tepee with a height from 15-23 inches.  It is quick and easy to assemble and has ample room for your pup to snuggle up and snooze inside. 

Best of all, the luxurious, white fabric with lace detail is detachable and machine washable, so it will always remain stunning (and spotless!). The only downside is the bed isn’t included, however, you can always switch around your pup’s favorite cushions to lounge on.  

The Dog's Bed Orthopedic Memory Foam Luxury Dog Bed

The Dog’s Bed Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Bed

If you love the idea of a memory foam bed but can't quite justify the cost of a Casper dog bed, this model is a more affordable option that will still work beautifully for big breeds or those that suffer from joint pain or mobility issues.

Available in a range of sizes and colors, this plus bed features solid 2” high density, orthopedic memory foam over a solid 4” base of high stability support foam that provides a comfortable resting place for dogs with joint conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, arthritis, patella luxation, osteochondritis. it's also great for post-surgery recovery.

The bed comes with a removable cover, so it's easy to keep clean, and the waterproof mattress protector does a good job of catching accidents, meaning it's also ideal for dogs that suffer from incontinence. 

PAW BRANDS Puprug Faux Cowhide Memory Foam Orthopedic Luxury Dog Bed

PAW BRANDS Puprug Faux Cowhide Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Bed

This luxury faux-cowhide, rug-style bed oozes style and sophistication while still managing to be ultra-soft and comfortable - so basically, the best of all worlds! The contemporary and innovative design will look beautiful in any fashion-forward or rustic-style home and is sure to be the talking point of any room you put it in.

Filled with pressure-relieving memory foam that minimizes joint pain, this orthopaedic bed will help improve your dog's mobility and overall health. Protected with a water-resistant liner, the faux fur cover is removable and washable. It can even be tumble dried on a low heat.

Now, granted, this is not the cheapest luxury bed in this guide, but if you're looking to spoil your pet with a sleep space that has cloud-like softness and offers superior comfort, then this bed is well worth considering. It comes in a choice of two classic color options too, so you're bound to find the right look for your home.

Moots Personalized Leatherette Sofa Cat & Dog Bed

Moots Personalized Leatherette Sofa Cat & Dog Bed

Does your dog insist on jumping on the sofa? Yes? Then this super stylish offering from Moots gives pampered pooches a place to call their own. We love the personalized touch of adding your dog's name to their bed and what can we say about the design? It's like giving your pup their very own La-Z-Boy to stretch out and watch TV. 

There's some great choices here in the fabric choices including a durable faux leather finish and comfortable foam. The bed's cushion cover can be machine -washed and it's made with a waterproof liner to deal with any accidents. 

While the bed is available in three sizes to suit most breeds - Medium, Large and X-Large - dog owners with larger breeds should note that the board could be stronger and there is a risk of breakage if your canine is on the weightier side but most pet owners will be satisfied with the quality on offer here. Consider the largest size to give your growing pup plenty of room to stretch out and rest their paws.

The Best Portable Dog Beds For Traveling Anywhere With Your Pup

They make packing so much easier ✨.

Published on 12/21/2021 at 3:01 PM

dog travel beds

Most dogs like to lounge — a lot. And that doesn’t stop when you take them traveling.

But since your dog’s normal bed isn’t exactly built for stuffing in a suitcase, you might be looking for something that’s a little more travel-friendly.

Luckily, there are a ton of travel dog beds on the market that are lightweight, waterproof, durable, compact and comfortable — making them the perfect spots for your pup to curl up while you’re out on the road. (Or even for hanging out in the yard!)

The Dodo rounded up the best travel dog beds on the internet so you can find the best one for your next trip with your pup.

  • Best travel dog bed overall: Chuckit! Travel Dog Bed
  • Best dog travel mat : TOYSBOOM Outdoor Dog Mat
  • Best folding dog bed : STOBOK Outdoor Dog Bed
  • Best dog sleeping bag : CHEERHUNTING Dog Sleeping Bag
  • Best dog travel bed for the car : Aidou Dog Car Seat
  • Best memory foam travel dog bed : Petmaker Travel Dog Bed
  • Best elevated travel dog bed : YEP HHO Large Elevated Folding Pet Bed

Why use a travel dog bed?

Travel dog beds are super handy since you can use them pretty much anytime you leave your house. They’re perfect for hanging out in the yard, taking your dog for a car ride, staying at a hotel, going camping or taking a hike.

They also make you a super polite houseguest since they can help keep your pet’s hairs contained to his bed.

In general, travel dog beds tend to be water resistant, portable and easy to clean, which makes them truly ideal for the outdoors and while traveling.

And the best part is that your dog’s normal bed can stay nice and clean at home, and your dog can still get super comfy when you’re out and about.

How to find the best travel dog bed

Since there are so many travel dog beds to choose from, you should try to tell the difference between a high-quality travel dog bed and one that’s not so great so you can find the best one for your pup.

When looking for a portable dog bed for traveling, be sure to consider the following details:

First and foremost, you want your travel dog bed to be pretty easy to carry around. Even if you think you’ll be keeping the dog bed in one spot, there’s a good chance you’ll end up wanting to bring it everywhere you take your dog.

Luckily, most travel dog beds are super portable (of course — it’s in the name!). They’re usually flat and can be either folded or rolled up into a more compact form. Some even come with a carrying case so you can tote your pup’s bed around, no problem.

Easy to clean

A travel dog bed that’s easy to clean will save you lots of time and hassle, especially if you plan on bringing it outdoors, like while camping or hiking.

Even if you only bring the travel dog bed in the car or a few hotel rooms, it’s nice to know you can give the dog bed a quick wash in case of any accidental messes (and keep it clean in between trips).

So when looking for a travel dog bed, make sure that it’s machine washable.

Purchasing a bed that’s waterproof (or at least water resistant) will definitely be a lifesaver when you’re on the road. So just in case there are any accidental spills, your pup’s bed will still be usable afterwards, and he won’t be stuck with a wet bed.

It’s especially important to purchase a waterproof bed if you plan on taking it camping with you. It could easily start raining, or the ground could be moist, which could definitely lead to an uncomfortably wet sleeping situation for your pup.

A travel bed with a nice layer of soft padding will go a long way when it comes to a good night’s rest for your pup. Since travel beds are meant to be compact, they’re not always comfy, so make sure the one you purchase will actually provide your dog with a pleasant place to sleep.

And if your dog is older, you might want to try an orthopedic travel dog bed (aka one made of memory foam), which can help give your dog’s joints support so he doesn’t suffer from aches and pains while on the road.

Fits the situation

Before deciding on a travel dog bed to buy, think about how you plan on using it first. This will help you find one that will actually meet your needs.

If you want to keep it in the car only, for example, consider getting your dog a booster car seat, which is basically like a travel dog bed but a lot safer for traveling in the car.

And if you plan on taking the dog bed on a camping trip, look for one that can roll up really small, comes with a carrying case, is lightweight, is totally waterproof and will keep your pup warm on cold nights. This will make it a lot easier to pack light for your outdoor adventure and ensure your pup stays comfortable and happy.

Best travel dog beds

Bed size: 39 by 30 inches

Bed weight: 35.2 ounces

The travel dog bed from Chuckit! is a great option for a lot of reasons. It’s machine washable, water resistant, durable, comfortable and perfect for both small and large dogs. It’s made of a breathable fabric and comes with a built-in loop so you can dry it out pretty quickly after hanging it up. The thick quilt adds a nice cushion that your pup will definitely appreciate, especially after a long day on the road. 

You can even bring it camping or hiking since it can roll up completely and even comes with a nylon sack for storage.

Bed size: 39.4 by 27.6 inches

Bed weight: 13 ounces

If you want to travel light, a dog mat might be a good solution. They usually weigh basically nothing, and you can roll them up really tight, so they don’t take up a lot of space. This dog bed is a really durable option that’s both totally waterproof and machine washable. It’s also multifunctional: You can use it as a dog bed, throw it on a hotel or host’s bed to keep it protected from pet messes, or use it as a blanket to keep your pup warm. And since one side of it is made with wool, it’s definitely a snuggly option for your dog. The carrying case comes with a shoulder strap, so it’s easy to carry around, too. 

foldable dog bed

Bed size: 44 by 26 inches

This dog bed is super cushiony, yet it can be folded up completely for convenient storage. It’s made with three layers of artificial cotton filing, which keeps it super thick. And thanks to the perforations in the bed, you can roll it up super tight into a compact cylinder shape that you can throw into the carrying case it comes with. It’s also machine washable, water resistant and made with a breathable fabric that’s easy to dry.  

dog sleeping bag

Bed size: 43.3 by 27.5 inches

Bed weight: 32 ounces

Your dog can have a sleeping bag while he’s camping, just like you! And not only are they super adorable, but dog sleeping bags are actually really functional. A dog sleeping bag will do a great job of keeping your pup toasty if it gets chilly outside at night, and he might even prefer how cozy it is over a standard dog bed. This sleeping bag is lightweight, waterproof, machine washable and a high-quality option overall. 

dog travel bed

Bed size: 23.6 by 22.2 inches

Bed weight: 14 pounds

If you’re looking for a dog bed to keep in your car permanently, you should definitely consider a dog booster seat (for small- to medium-sized dogs) or a dog hammock (for larger dogs), since they’re meant to keep your dog a bit safer than a normal dog bed would.

If you have a small pup, this dog booster seat is a great option. It’s basically like a poofy dog bed you can strap to your car seat. It’s extremely comfortable, safe and adorable, so it’s basically the perfect travel dog bed that you can always keep in your car.

memory foam travel bed for dogs

Bed size: 37 by 24 inches

Bed weight: 31.2 ounces

Your older dog will love this dog bed that’s made with memory foam so he can rest his achy joints while out on an adventure. And this bed isn’t just for senior pets, either. Any dog can enjoy the extreme comfort of a memory foam bed — and can definitely benefit from the restful night’s sleep it’ll give him. One side of the bed is covered in faux fur, so your pet can get extra snuggly and stay warm on cold surfaces. And even though this dog bed isn’t machine washable, it’s super portable since it can be rolled easily and even comes with handles attached to the bed. 

elevated travel dog bed

Bed size: 42 by 24 inches

Bed weight: 14 pounds 

Elevated dog beds can help keep your pup cool and prevent him from getting any dirt, dust or other debris from the floor on his fur. This can be especially useful if you have to sleep on the ground while camping or if you plan on keeping the bed somewhere that gets pretty hot. This elevated dog bed can collapse inwards (similar to a fabric folding chair for humans) and comes with a carrying case for easy storage.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

luxury dog travel beds

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

luxury dog travel beds

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

luxury dog travel beds

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

luxury dog travel beds

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

luxury dog travel beds

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
