Comfortable padded bed
If you find your dog curling up into a ball on the couch or in soft, cushioned places, the BarksBar Snuggly Sleeper Orthopedic Dog Bed is the perfect bed for your dog. This bed comes in medium and large sizes, accommodating dogs up to 100 lbs, and it's made with human-grade orthopedic foam and cotton-padded walls, providing an enclosed space for your dog to curl up inside. The cover is machine washable, and the base of the bed has grippy pads to stop it from sliding around. This bed is a favorite online - with 4,400 ratings on Amazon at the time of writing, you can browse through the reviews until you're convinced this is the right bed (which won't take long).

Waterproof bed
Dogs of all ages and sizes can have problems with wetting the bed - or your dog might just be an excessive drooler. Whatever the situation is, the PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed and Lounge is our top pick for waterproof beds for large dogs. This bed is made with memory foam, which provides extra orthopedic support, and raised padded bolsters for your dog to rest their head on. The waterproof cover is easy to take off and wash in the washing machine, and in case you're wondering, many of the 3,400 reviews on Amazon emphasize that the cover really is 100% waterproof, leaving the foam inside dry and clean. This bed comes in sizes small, large, X-large, and XXL-jumbo, meaning that your big baby will actually fit into this bed.
-
Couch style bed
Dogs love to copy the behavior of their humans, although many of the things they do aren't allowed (I think they don't realize that they're not human!). If your dog loves jumping onto the couch but isn't actually allowed up there, why not get your dog their own couch?
We love the FurHaven Pet Dog Sofa Style Bed. It comes in sizes small, medium, large, jumbo and jumbo plus, so you know that your big boi or girl won't have trouble fitting into their bed. This bed is great for dogs that like to rest their heads on bolsters, but don't like beds that are too squishy. It's also perfect for dogs that like to sprawl out and curl up when they sleep - in the FurHaven bed, any sleeping position is possible. This bed was voted Amazon Choice, so you know it's been tested and loved by real customers.

Orthopedic bed
Memory foam is a fantastic material for big dogs to sleep on, as it conforms to their shape, providing an even distribution of weight across the mattress and therefore better support. The Big Barker Orthopedic Bed was made specifically with large dogs in mind. Made with human-grade memory foam, this bed is by far the most loved memory foam bed for dogs on the market. It comes with a 10 year guarantee (which speaks for itself!) and it has a 5 star rating on Amazon with 3,800 reviews at the time of writing. The Big Barker bed comes in large, extra large and giant sizes, so owners of very big doggos will be happy (just read some Amazon reviews for glowing reports of this bed). The microfiber cover is easy to take off and wash in the washing machine, and there are options for a bed with or without a bolster. This will be the last dog bed you ever buy.
-
Pillow style bed
If your dog likes having something plump underneath them under they sleep, giving their joints that extra support, your pup might be perfect for a pillow style bed. We love the DogBed4Less Premium Orthopedic Pillow. It's made from shredded memory foam, and the pillow doesn't flatten over time like other materials do. This bed comes in six sizes from medium to jumbo, so your barking horse won't hang over the edges. There are six colors and three materials to choose from, and you can pop the cover in the washing machine when you need to.
-
Self warming bed
It is common for large dogs to suffer from joint pain or arthritis, as they carry more weight than other dogs. A great way to relieve joint pain and inflammation is to apply heat, which helps the blood flow more freely, providing more oxygen to the body and therefore reducing pain. Self warming beds are perfect for dog owners who don't want to worry about having an electrical cord near their dog (especially if it is prone to chewing). We love the K&H Self-Warming Lounge Sleeper. It has a layer of heat-reflecting material in the base of the bed, and the soft microfleece cover absorbs the heat from your dogs body, meaning that as long as your dog is in the bed, they'll be kept warm. This lounge style bed has slight bolsters, which are perfect for curling up against, and the large size is actually big enough for most large breeds. As a bonus, the stuffing inside the pillow is made with polyfil from recycled plastic bottles, so you can feel twice as good about keeping your dog warm and doing your part for the environment.
-
Electric heated bed
Electric heated beds are great for dogs that suffer from joint pain, as warmth helps oxygen flow, increasing circulation and minimizing pain. It's also a good solution for dogs that get cold easily or dogs during winter - it can be difficult to keep your dog warm with a blanket if they move during the night. The K&H Thermo-Ortho Bed uses 4 watts of power and has dual thermostat controls so it stays around your dog's body temperature, never overheating your pooch. This bed has extra orthopedic padding (perfect for larger dogs), a soft sherpa top and a water resistant layer underneath, and a cover that can be washed in the washing machine. Just remember, if your dog likes to chew things, this isn't the bed for you!
-
Outdoor bed
Dog beds aren't just meant to be indoors. Outdoor dog beds are great if you have a dog that tends to feel hot in warm weather, or you want your dog to have something comfortable and clean to lie on (so they don't bring all that mud inside). We love the K&H Coolin' Pet Cot and Pet Cot Canopy as a combination. They're sold separately but both come in three sizes (the large can fit a dog up to 200 lbs). The K&H Coolin' Pet Cot is made with extremely durable material that can withstand sun, rain and biting/scratching, and it super easy to clean: just spray it down with a hose. Elevated pet beds help cool your dog down in warm weather by providing a current of air underneath them, and the canopy provides shade, so your dog can sit in the sun with your family and not suffer from the warm weather (or rain!)

Chew proof crate pad
Let's face it: some dogs love to chew on everything. If you're lucky, your puppy will grow out of the chewing phase, but if you're not...well, find somewhere high up to put your new Nike shoes. If you have a dog or puppy that needs to be left in their crate when you go out, and don't want to come home to another pile of foam that was once a bed, check out the K9 Ballistics Tough Dog Crate Pad. It's made out of recycled polyfil and rip-stop waterproof fabric, and it'll withstand scratching, digging and moderate chewing. It comes in six sizes (so your full-grown big boi will be able to fit) and although this bed is not 100% chew proof, Amazon reviews state that "These beds have lasted longer than any bed we have purchased." If you're after something more hardcore, check out the elevated dog bed below.

Chew proof elevated dog bed
If your dog never grew out of it's chewing habit and considers itself a dedicated, professional chewer, consider getting a K9 Chew Proof Armored Elevated Dog Bed. This is one of the few dog beds that are actually 100% chew proof. Made with an aluminium frame, Ballistic rip-stop fabric with a durable water repellent finish, and no fabric edges for teeth to bite into, they really thought of everything when it comes to this bed. It comes with a Chew Proof Armored Warranty that covers damage caused by chewing, digging or scratching within the first 120 days of buying the bed, so even owners of the feistiest of chewers can be confident that they won't waste money on another dog bed. The K9 Elevated dog bed comes in five sizes and five colors and patterns, and we think you won't find a more chew-proof bed online (check out the customer reviews on Amazon if you need convincing!).
-
Bagel shape bed
Every dog has it's own preference for where and how they sleep, just like humans! If your big dog loves soft yet supportive beds with large bolsters for that feeling of safety, we suggest the Majestic Pet Bagel Bed. The base of the bed is filled with 10 inches of polyfil, and a 4 inch high bolster encircles the bed, giving your dog the option to rest their head on it or curl up inside. There are a number of materials available for the lining of the bed, including sherpa, cotton, and a polyester/cotton blend. The bed comes in four sizes (the XL is best for large dogs) and there are heaps of funky patterns and colors to choose from if you order on the Majestic Pet website. You can even customize a bed if you want to.
-
Durable memory foam bed
Large dogs make wonderful pets, but they tend to wear down beds more than small dogs (let's face it, big bois and girls can get really heavy!). If you're looking for a memory foam bed with a cover that won't wear away after a year, we recommend looking at the DogBed4Less Premium Memory Foam Dog Bed. It comes in seven sizes (the largest size super big for your gigantic dog) and three cover materials: microsuede, canvas and denim. It also includes a waterproof cover that will protect the memory foam inside from any accidents - the outer cover is machine washable. Customer reviews on Amazon praise the durability of the covers, especially for big dogs.
