Jumbo bed for very big dogs
Do you have a large dog? We're not talking about Golden Retriever large, we mean Great Dane or St Bernard large: so big that they have trouble squeezing on to extra large dog beds. No matter what size your furbaby is, we know that you want them have a comfy place to sleep and relax. Luckily for your pup, FurHaven have just the right beds: the Luxe Lounger, which ranges from small, medium and large to jumbo, jumbo plus and giant.
The giant sized Luxe Loungers can comfortably fit dogs up to 180 lbs, and with the ergonomic design and medical grade foam, your pooch will get the support they need with back and neck support (which we assume they don't get when trying to curl onto a bed that's too small!). Check out the great reviews on Amazon if you have doubts. These beds are big-dog-approved.

Puppy bed for crates
Congratulations on your new puppy! In the excitement of having a new pet, don't forget to buy your puppy a good bed that will make their crate a home. We recommend the Midwest Homes for Pets Deluxe Super Plush Pet Bed. It has over 10,900 reviews on Amazon and comes in sizes from extra small to extra large.
This bed has plush surface, is soft to sleep on, and has a non-skid bottom. It's also machine washable - just pop the whole thing in the machine if your puppy has an accident. This bed won't break your bank, which is a bonus when buying your puppy it's first bed: at the rate that they grow, you'll probably need to buy a larger bed within six months to a year anyway. The raving reviews on Amazon emphasize its chew-proof-ness and ability to keep its shape after many washes.

Orthopedic bed for older dogs
Although it's sad, it's a fact of life: our pooches grow old (just like us). Unfortunately, dogs can have many of the annoying problems that come with old age like stiffness in the joints and arthritis. One of the best things you can do to help is get them a comfortable, orthopedic bed that will reduce their pain as much as possible.
The BarksBar Snuggly Sleeper Orthopedic Dog Bed is our top pick, and with 4,200 ratings on Amazon, it's other people's top pick too. This bed comes in medium and large (accommodating dogs up to 100 lbs) but there's no small size - pad it out with a blanket if your dog likes to be snug. Made from human-grade orthopedic foam and cotton-padded walls, this bed will provide all the support your dog needs (fun fact: dogs need bolsters for their neck, just like humans need pillows). The cover is machine washable and the bottom has grippy pads to stop it from sliding around.
If your dog is less into curling up and more into stretching out (especially if it's a big dog), have a look at the Big Barker Orthopedic Bed on this page. It's also made with high quality memory foam and it is one of the most commonly loved dog beds across the internet.

Waterproof for accident-prone dogs
Sometimes our furbabies wet the bed, whether they're young puppies that aren't properly trained yet, older dogs, or just dogs that have accidents (which could warrant a visit to the vet). If your pooch is accident prone, don't worry. You won't have to put up with having a smelly bed if you get a PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed and Lounge.
This bed is made from memory foam, providing extra orthopedic support (which is never a bad thing), raised bolsters to support your dog's head and neck, and most importantly, a waterproof cover that you can easily throw in the washing machine. This bed has over 3,300 ratings on Amazon and is voted Amazon's Choice. Many of the reviews emphasized that the bed's cover is 100% waterproof, leaving the memory foam inside completely dry (and therefore without the terrible smells that usually accompany accidents). And that's exactly what you look for in a waterproof bed.

Cave bed for anxious dogs
Do you have a dog that suffers from anxiety? If you come home to a dog that has ripped apart another shoe or spent the whole day crying for you, what you need is a special, calming bed to help your furbaby with separation anxiety. The solution? A cave bed. These beds are perfect for making your dog feel protected, and they can easily slip in and out of the cover of the bed (unlike if they were under a blanket). They can choose to hide their faces in the warmth of the cave or stick their heads out - whatever makes them feel more safe.
The Snoozer Orthopedic Cozy Cave Dog Bed is the best option on the market. It comes in small, large and extra large, accommodating both tiny dogs and big breeds, and it's available in six colors. There's also the added bonus of orthopedic support, which is great for any dog to have regardless of whether they need it. Who wouldn't love a more comfortable and supportive bed? Customers love the super soft sherpa material inside and the thickness of the cushion bed. This bed is also fantastic for providing dogs with extra warmth.

Tough dog bed for chewers
If you have a dog that is determined to chew up every toy, shoe and bed in the house, you'll need a special dog bed that can withstand your pup's chewing, digging and scratching. The K9 Tough Rectangle Orthopedic Dog Bed is one of K9's "chew-resistant" beds. K9 did a good job at thinking of everything a dog can do to these beds, because there are no exposed seams or zippers, and with such durable material, even the most persistent of dogs will have trouble getting through this one. It's also waterproof and made with orthopedic foam, giving your dog the extra support and comfort it needs.
If you think even this won't hold up against your dog, you can go for the Chew Proof Armored Elevated Dog Bed, which is virtually indestructible. It doesn't offer that extra comfort that an orthopedic bed does, but on the other hand, it won't be ripped to shreds when you get home from work. K9 has sizes small, medium, large, extra large, and giant, so you'll have no trouble finding a bed for your big dog.

Travel dog bed
If you're the kind of person who loves to go hiking, camping, and adventuring with your best furry friend, you'll want to keep your dog as comfortable as you are while on your journey. The best travel dog beds are durable, comfortable, and transportable, keeping your dog dry and warm if the ground is wet and protected from sticks and stones on the ground.
The Chuckit! Travel Dog Bed ticks all these boxes. With a 4.7 star rating out of 5 on Amazon, this dog bed is everything an adventurer wants for their dog. It has a soft poly-suede surface on the top and thick quilting inside, and the entire bed is waterproof. It comes in three sizes (with the large size big enough for large dogs) and it rolls up into a small, transportable package. When you get home from your trip, pop your Chuckit! Travel Dog Bed in the washing machine and hang it up to dry. Easy!

Elevated dog bed
Elevated dog beds are great for dogs that tend to get hot easily. They're also chew resistant and much easier to clean than traditional dog beds - plus they don't smell. Raised dog beds are perfect for dogs with arthritis or stiffness that have trouble lowering themselves down to the ground, or dogs that are sensitive to the warm and cold weather. By raising them off the ground, they get airflow underneath them in the warmer months, and don't have to lie on the cold ground in winter. Elevated beds are also ideal for dogs that sleep outside, keeping them off the grass and mud.
The K&H Pet Cot is the best elevated bed for dogs. It doesn't require any tools to set it up, so it can be used for travelling, and it comes in four sizes (small to extra large). The K&H Pet Cot is made with 600-denier fabric, making it water and snow proof. If you have a particularly heavy dog, we recommend looking at the Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed, which is more suitable for heavy dogs (although it requires tools for setup).

Stylish dog bed
When looking for a dog bed, it's easy to find many beds that tick all the boxes for functionality, but have totally forgotten about asthetics. The truth is, dog beds are essentially another piece of furniture in your house, so why wouldn't you choose something that is functional as well as attractive and stylish?
If you're looking for a dog bed that your dog will love and won't be an eyesore in your house, check out the Kaylor Mid Century Modern Dog Sofa. The wooden frame comes in a range of colors from oak, dark oak and black to a greyish driftwood color, all with a charcoal mattress. It only comes in one size (you can see the specifications on WayFair) and supports dogs up to 50 lbs. Customers love the durable material of the cushion and the sturdiness of the frame, and of course the sleek look of a modern dog bed.

Couch style dog bed
Dogs mimic their humans in many ways, although not all their behaviors are allowed. If your dog loves sitting on the couch but isn't allowed up there, consider buying your pooch a couch of their very own. Couch style dog beds allow your dog to feel the protection and comfort of sitting above the ground and surrounded by bolsters, as well as having their own special place for themselves. The FurHaven Pet Dog Sofa Style Bed is our top pick for comfortable, supportive and stylish couch style dog beds.
This dog bed comes in a variety of colors and styles, and has sizes small, medium, large, jumbo and jumbo plus, meaning that your German Shepherd and your Chihuahua will both be able to fit perfectly into their own couch beds. The FurHaven Dog Bed has been voted Amazon Choice, and with the number of positive reviews left for this bed, it's not hard to see why. (To clarify, this Amazon page is selling all of the beds on this FurHaven page, so you should choose one bed.)
These beds are low to the ground (however there is also a raised version of the bed) and it offers a lots of padding, with an orthopedic mat made of medical grade foam. This is great for dogs with joint issues or stiffness, or dogs that like to sleep somewhere as comfortable as the couch.

Cool dog bed for summer
If you need a dog bed to keep your furbaby cool in the warmer months, look no further than the Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed. Loved across the internet, and probably across the universe, this raised dog bed is made with HDPE fabric, allowing your dog to feel airflow from above and below. Coolaroo Elevated Pet Beds are super easy to clean - just hose them off with water - and they come in small, medium and large sizes, with heaps of colors to choose from. With 16,000 ratings on Amazon, you really can't go wrong with a Coolaroo.

Memory foam bed for large dogs
Memory foam is universally loved as a therapeutic material to rest your weary body on. It conforms to the shape of the person (or dog) sitting on it, which provides more support than regular foam. This helps to distribute the pressure across the mattress evenly. Memory foam springs back into shape when the pressure is removed, meaning that it remains 'fresh' until your dog lies on it again.
Memory foam is a great material for any dog to lie on, especially dogs with joint issues (which large dogs tend to have more than small dogs). The Big Barker Orthopedic Bed is by far the best memory foam bed for big dogs on the market. Although it's on the more expensive side, it has a 10 year guarantee (!) and its microfiber cover is machine washable.
The Big Barker bed has a 5 star rating on Amazon with 3,770 reviews at the time of writing, with 89% of the reviews rating it 5 stars. The reviews are generally glowing with phrases such as "Pigs in mud don't have it so good." This mattress comes in three sizes: large, extra large, and giant, so you know your barking horse won't be left hanging off the edges like they normally are. This bed is the last bed you'll ever need to buy for your big dog, and the Amazon reviews really support this. Don't take our word for it, check out the Amazon reviews for the Big Barker Orthopedic Bed yourself.

Memory foam bed for small and medium dogs
Memory foam isn't only good for big dogs with joint problems - it's ideal for any dogs that enjoy getting support while they sleep. The Casper Memory Foam Dog Bed is definitely our top pick for small and medium dogs (for large dogs refer to the post above). Casper dog beds are made with super durable material that can withstand as much digging and burrowing as your dog wants to do, and they have supportive sides for extra comfort. The small size fits dogs up to 30 lbs and the medium supports dogs up to 60 lbs.
Casper makes all kinds of memory foam things for humans too, so you can be certain that if their products are good enough for humans (who are pretty picky), they should be good enough for your furbaby. If your dog doesn't warm to its bed within 100 days, you can return the bed and get your money back. Not a bad deal.

Outdoor bed (with optional canopy)
Some dogs go with their humans everywhere, including the balcony, backyard, to the beach, on camping trips, and to picnics. However, dogs get hot a lot quicker than humans do, so being outside can lead to overheating in warm weather. Enter the K&H Coolin' Pet Cot and Pet Cot Canopy. These two items are sold separately (the K&H Pet Cot Canopy is designed to fit onto any of the K&H Pet Cots) so you can choose which ever Pet Cot you fancy and pop a canopy onto it. You can choose from small, medium and large for the Pet Cots and canopies.
We love the Coolin' Pet Cot because it has special material to ensure your dog gets maximum air flow and cooling. This bed can hold up to 200 lbs and it comes in two sizes, medium and large. The Pet Cot is simple to clean, by wiping it down with a wet cloth, and it won't get damaged or smelly like other dog beds (especially because it is raised off the ground).
The Pet Canopy adds another level of comfort for your dog, especially if they easily overheat. The canopy is easy to set up (no tools are required), it can withstand the rain or sunshine. Check out all the positive reviews on Amazon if you need convincing. We think this is a killer combination for any dogs that love to be outside.

Mattress style dog bed
If your dog is more into stretching out on a flat surface, rather than curling up (especially in the warmer weather), the Purple Pet Bed is the best option on the market. This dog bed is made with different layers of plush foam and a hyper-elastic polymer grid, as well as an antimicrobial, moisture-resistant, odor-neutralizing, and hypoallergenic cover - meaning that your dog's bed won't smell of dog (and lets be clear, none of us want that dog smell lingering in our bedrooms or living rooms). For those extra furry dogs that prefer to lie on the floor in summer, this bed has a stable temperature, meaning that it keeps your dog from overheating in warmer temperatures.
Purple Dog Beds come in small, medium and large, and you can order from their website or Amazon. Purple actually makes other human products, so you can be sure that they know what they're doing when it comes to comfort.

Soft bed for small dogs
If you have a small dog that loves to burrow under blankets and feel cozy, this is the bed for you. The Sheri Calming Shag Vegan Fur Donut Cuddler is soft, fluffy, and warm, and it's donut shape and thick edges mean that your dog can curl up inside and feel safe and calm. This dog bed is best suited for smaller breeds that don't experience joint pain, because larger and heavier dogs tend to need more support. With over 8,400 reviews on Amazon, the Sheri Calming Donut has been tried and tested as an all-round favorite. Note that if your dog loves to chew things, this may not be the best option for you.

17
Soft bed for medium and large dogs
Medium and large dog breeds need more support for their joints as they carry more weight. The Majestic Pet Bagel Bed is soft, squishy, and supportive - perfect for your larger dog that loves to snuffle their snout inside warm spaces and curl up to sleep. The base of the bed is filled with 10 inches of polyfil with an extra 4 inch high bolster that encircles the bed. There are a number of materials available for the lining of the Bagel Bed, including sherpa, cotton and a cotton/polyester blend.
The base of the Bagel Bed is also waterproof in case any accidents happen. There are over 1,200 reviews of the Bagel Bed on Amazon, but if you buy from the Majestic Pet website you get to choose from all kinds of funky patterns and designs to compliment the interior design of your home. You can even customize a bed if you fancy.

Tent bed for small, shy dogs
If your furbaby is shy and loves to retreat to their own special spaces (especially rescue dogs that prefer protected spaces like behind the couch or under the bed), what they might need is a tent bed. The Best Pet Supplies Pet Tent Soft Bed for Dog and Cat has around 3,000 reviews on Amazon, and nearly all of them praise the tent bed. It comes in faux suede, linen or corduroy and the largest size (extra large) can fit a dog (or cat) up to around 20 lbs.
This tent bed is machine washable and its sides are structured, meaning that it can get thrown around or sat on and retain its shape. It's also great for keeping your dog warm at night, especially if they tend to throw off blankets. This bed will make your dog feel protected and safe, as well as warm and comfortable. Sounds perfect.

Electric heated bed for small and medium dogs
Heated beds are great for any dog, whether they're old and need relief from their joint pain, feel cold in the house during winter, or if you want to get them out of your bed and into their own. The K&H Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper is the best choice of electric heated beds for small and medium dogs. With a supportive bolster around the edge of the bed and a delicious squishy pillow inside, it's perfect for curling up and getting comfortable and warm.
The heater only uses 6 watts of power, and it is designed for 24 hour use, so you don't need to worry about leaving it plugged in when you leave for work. The temperature of the bed is designed never to get warmer than your dogs body temperature, which means that you don't have to worry about overheating (which can be a concern when leaving a heater on 24/7).
The K&H Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper comes in medium and large, although the medium size is more suited for small dogs and the large size is better for medium size dogs (up to 30 or 40 lbs). You can wash the cover in the washing machine, and to wash the pillow, remove the heater and wash the whole thing. Note, if your dog likes chewing, we don't recommend you buy this bed (in case the cord gets chewed).

Electric heated bed for large dogs
While small and medium dogs are spoiled for choice when it comes to electric heated dog beds, large dogs aren't so lucky. Unfortunately, there aren't any electric heated beds for large dogs with bolsters on the sides - only sleeping mats. However, the best electric heated dog bed (mat style) on the market is the K&H Thermo-Ortho Bed, with extra padding for orthopedic support. Large dogs are much more susceptible to joint pain, so it's always good to have extra joint support.
This bed comes in medium, large and extra large sizes, and it uses 4 watts of power. The heater has dual thermostat controls so it stays around the body temperature of your dog, never overheating your pooch. The K&H Thermo-Ortho Bed has a sherpa top and a water resistant layer underneath, and you can easily take off the top layer to wash in the washing machine. Note again, if your dog likes to chew things, it might be better to choose a self heating bed (see below) rather than an electric one.

Self warming bed for small dogs
If you want a warm bed for your furbaby but aren't into electric heated beds (which can be especially problematic if there's a chance that your dog might chew the cord), this is by far the most popular self warming bed for small and medium dogs: the OrthoComfort Deep Dish Cuddler from Best Friends by Sheri. This bed is filled with AirLOFT fiber filing, which radiates heat back to your dog and retains heat for three times longer than average beds do.
This bed comes in two sizes, but their names are misleading. The 'standard' size is for very small dogs (chihuahua size), and the 'jumbo' size fits small dogs up to 35 lbs. The bed actually comes in materials like sherpa and furry lux, and there are lots of funky colors to choose from (including hot pink for the bold of us). If you're still unsure, read some of the 4,600 ratings on Amazon (and check out some very cute user photos). You'll be convinced.

22
Self warming bed for medium and large dogs
If you have a medium or large dog, and want them to keep warm without worrying about the electrical heater causing problems, the K&H Self-Warming Lounge Sleeper is the best option for you. The pillow base of this bed has a layer of heat-reflecting material, and the soft microfleece absorbs heat from your dog's body, meaning that your pooch will be kept warm and toasty.
This lounge style bed also has bolsters for your pup to rest their head or neck on, with the front lowered for elderly dogs to step over. There are three sizes: small, medium and large (and the large size actually accommodates big dog breeds). The stuffing inside the pillow is made from polyfil from recycled plastic bottles, so you can feel doubly good about keeping your furbaby warm and helping the environment at the same time!

23
Pillow style dog bed
If your dog likes to lie on plump, squishy surfaces, maybe it's time to get them a pillow bed. We think the DogBed4Less Premium Orthopedic Pillow is a clear winner when it comes to pillow beds for dogs. Made from shredded memory foam, this pillow doesn't loose it's shape over time like other materials do. It also has a waterproof layer underneath the top cover, meaning that the foam will never get damaged should any accidents happen.
These pillow beds come in six sizes from medium to jumbo, meaning that while big dog breeds will be accommodated for, your tiny dog may feel a bit swamped by the pillow. You can choose from six colors and three different materials: denim, microsuede and canvas. Pop the cover in the washing machine when it needs a freshen up. Easy peasy.

Customizable dog bed
If you have the perfect dog bed in mind, but haven't found it yet, why not create it online? Custom dog beds are great because you can create something special for your furbaby (that suits the decor of your house too). AdorePets is a website that allows you to create dog beds of any size, shape and color, with hundreds of different types of materials and patterns to choose from. You can also get your dogs name embroidered on it's bed so your animals don't forget whose bed is whose. Check out some adorable examples of what's possible if you need some inspiration.

Hammock dog bed
Does your pooch prefer to hang around? Literally? Perhaps what they need is a hammock bed. Made with a bamboo frame and fitted with a comfortable removable pillow, this dog hammock will be super comfy for your dog, easy to clean and easy to keep the area around it clean, and it will be a chic addition to the interior decoration of your house.
This is the Bamboo Hammock II from Pet Lounge Studios, and it comes in medium and large sizes (the large size is big enough for large dog breeds). There are five modern colors to choose from and the pillow can be put in the washing machine when it needs refreshing. A modern solution for a modern dog (and their pet human). We love it!
