Comfort Expression Waterproof Orthopedic Dog Bed, for extra large dogs

The Comfort Expression orthopedic dog bed pairs a 3.5 inch layer of 28D egg crate foam with a four-sided bolster in chocolate brown. Its sleeping area measures 34 x 26 inches inside an overall frame of 42 x 30 x 8.5 inches, and the brand sizes it for dogs weighing under 90 lbs. The foam is soft and elastic, and the outer cover is PV plush.

Checks before you choose this bed

Measure the spot where the bed will sit against the 42 inch length, 30 inch width and 8.5 inch thickness, since the frame takes up more floor space than the 34 x 26 inch sleeping area.

The plush surface and the bolsters sit on the sleeping side, while the Oxford cloth with its non-slip rubber particles faces the floor. If the bed goes into a crate, compare the 42 x 30 inch footprint with the crate's inside dimensions first.

Washing and drying the cover

The cover unzips and lifts off the foam and bolsters. The manufacturer states that the cover can go in the washing machine and be dried at low temperature; the foam insert and the bolsters are listed separately from the cover in the included components, so they stay out of the wash.

Foam, cover and base in detail

The 3.5 inch foam core is cut in an egg crate pattern, and the brand describes the foam as soft and elastic. On top of it, PV plush covers the sleeping surface.

Four bolsters run around the sides, and the brand describes the broken foam armrests as soft and wrapped around the pet's neck and head area. A lining behind the cover is there to keep liquid from passing through, which is what makes the bed water resistant.

The underside is Oxford cloth with non-slip rubber particles, so the base grips the floor rather than sliding on it. The bed comes in chocolate brown and in the sofa shape listed in the specifications.
