KSIIA Orthopedic Dog Bed, 35x22, Dark Grey, waterproof, for large dogs

This orthopedic dog bed measures 35"L x 22"W x 3"H and is sized for dogs up to 50 lbs. Inside the sleeping area sits a 3-inch layer of high-density egg crate foam under a 3-layer fabric surface. The cover is removable and can go in the washing machine, and the bed arrives vacuum-packed in a box.

Washing and airing the bed before first use

The bed comes out of its box flat because it is vacuum-packed, and the manufacturer asks for about 24 hours of inflating time before the first use. The cover comes off for cleaning: the L-shaped zipper opens the sleeping area, and the cover is machine washable.

The sleeping surface is built from three layers, with a waterproof TPU layer in the middle that keeps liquid from passing through, and a knit fabric lining on the inside.

Checks before you buy

The bed suits dogs that weigh up to 50 lbs; a heavier dog is outside the stated limit. Check the size against your space before ordering, since the footprint is 35 inches long, 22 inches wide and 3 inches thick.

For a crate, measure the interior first: the pad needs an opening of at least 35 by 22 inches to lie flat inside. The same dimensions work for a spot on the floor, a car or a truck, which the maker lists as places it can go.

The foam, the two faces and the stitching

The core is 3-inch high-density egg crate foam, so the surface carries the bumpy profile of that foam rather than a flat slab. One face is covered in ultra-soft deluxe plush velvet, and the other side is Oxford fabric, which gives the bed two different surfaces to lie on.

The manufacturer reinforces the seams with stitching, and the L-shaped zipper runs around the cover so it can be lifted off the foam. Because the sleeping area is polyester with a plush face and a knit lining, the cover can be washed when it needs it.
