  1. Washable Waterproof Dog Bed Cover
    A zip-off waterproof cover so the bed survives muddy paws and the washing machine.

    A zip-off waterproof cover that takes the muddy-paw and accident damage so the mattress underneath survives. Machine-washable, and the waterproof membrane is the part that actually saves the bed — check it against your existing cushion size before ordering.

    Good for Puppies, senior dogs, and beds that get filthy. Skip if You need the bed itself — this is a replacement cover only.

    Plush Snuffle Mat

    Plush Snuffle Mat
    A denser, softer snuffle mat for dogs that need a calm foraging game before bed.

    A denser, softer take on the snuffle mat — the thicker pile hides kibble more completely, so it takes a dog longer to clear and works as a wind-down game before bed. Shake it out and wash it regularly.

    Good for Dogs that finish thin snuffle mats too quickly. Skip if You want something you can toss in a bag — this one's bulky.

  3. Pick 03 · comfort

    All-Season Washable Cave Bed

    All-Season Washable Cave Bed
    A soft enclosed cave bed for small dogs that like to burrow — the whole thing goes in the wash.

    A soft enclosed cave bed for dogs that like to burrow and feel covered — the sense of a den helps nervous small breeds settle. Lightweight and fully washable; sizing runs small, so size up if your dog likes to stretch out.

    Good for Burrowers and small breeds that like to feel hidden. Skip if Your dog sprawls or runs hot — an open bed suits better.

  4. Pick 04 · comfort

    Warm Washable Dog Sofa Bed

    Warm Washable Dog Sofa Bed
    A padded square bolster bed with a washable cover — the affordable everyday bed most dogs actually sleep on.

    A padded square bolster bed with raised sides for a head rest — the affordable everyday bed most dogs actually choose to sleep on. The cover unzips for washing; sizing runs snug, so measure your dog curled up and size up if between sizes.

    Good for Dogs that like to lean their head on a bolster. Skip if Your dog stretches out flat and hates raised edges.

  5. Pick 05 · comfort

    Ice-Silk Summer Cooling Bed

    Ice-Silk Summer Cooling Bed
    A breathable woven mat that sheds body heat — a cool spot for panting dogs in summer.

    A raised-weave 'ice silk' bed that dissipates heat instead of trapping it, for dogs that overheat on padded beds in summer. No gel or water to puncture — just a breathable surface that wipes clean.

    Good for Hot months and dogs that sprawl on tile to cool off. Skip if You want winter warmth — this is built to stay cool, not cosy.

    Washable Bone-Stitch Dog Mat

    Washable Bone-Stitch Dog Mat
    A firm, low-profile crate mat with a linen-look cover that shrugs off hair and goes straight in the wash.

    A reversible crate pad with a bone-quilted sleeping surface, an anti-slip dotted base, and a fabric that pet hair brushes off instead of weaving into. The whole mat is machine-washable, and the flat 3 cm profile suits dogs that sleep stretched out or run hot in summer. Four sizes, small through extra-large.

    Good for Crates, cars and floor napping — especially for dogs that overheat on plush donut beds. Skip if Your dog is on the bigger side — the largest size tops out around 33 lb / 15 kg — or only sleeps curled up in a bolster bed.
