Read the full editorial guide
- Raised, bolstered rim the dog can rest its head on, the donut shape suits curlers and nervous dogs that like to feel held
- Soft, plush fill that dogs burrow into; the whole bed is machine-washable, not just a cover
- Anti-slip base so it stays put on tiles or floorboards rather than sliding across the room
- Memory-foam base that supports joints and spreads weight, the format that suits older, larger and heavier dogs best
- Bolstered sofa-style sides plus a removable, machine-washable cover and a water-resistant inner liner
- Non-slip base; sized large for medium-to-big dogs that a small bed leaves hanging off the edge
- Raised, breathable mesh that lifts the dog off hot ground and lets air circulate underneath, built for Australian summer heat
- Tear-resistant mesh that chewers and diggers struggle to destroy, where they would shred a foam bed
- Steel-frame trampoline design you can hose down and dry in minutes, ideal for a verandah, laundry or outdoor run
Which one should you buy?
For most dogs the STORM HERO Orthopedic Dog Bed (Large) at around $65 is the right buy. The memory-foam base supports joints and spreads weight, which matters most for older, heavier or larger dogs, the ones a flat cushion lets sink to the floor by morning. Bolstered sides give a head to rest on, and the removable cover machine-washes, which is non-negotiable once a dog actually lives on it. It is the bed you would recommend to most people without thinking twice.
If your dog is small, nervous or a curler, the Feandrea Calming Donut Dog Bed at about $44 suits better, the raised rim and soft fill give a sense of being held, and the whole thing goes in the wash. And for big dogs, hot summers or a verandah, the Veehoo Cooling Elevated Dog Bed at about $80 lifts the dog off the hot ground onto breathable mesh you can hose clean, the warm-climate upgrade. Match the bed to the dog and you only buy once.
