The 14 Best Dog Beds, Tested and Reviewed by Our Pups

This Serena & Lily dog bed is pretty enough to display in your living room—and durable enough for the rowdiest of pups. The cushion covers are made from stain-resistant Perennials® performance fabric, which resist muddy paw prints and wash like a dream.

Testers say: “My dog lays flat on his back with all four paws sticking up when he sleeps, and this bed gives him plenty of room to sprawl out. Plus, it's the chicest dog bed I've ever seen. We've had it for over two years, and it's held up like a dream.”

If your pup deserves a one-of-the-kind bed (and, let's be honest, they all do!), you need to create one through June St George. Use the site's rendering tool to create the custom dog bed of your dreams with endless colors, materials, and designs to complement your home. Bonus: They're not just pretty, they also withstand digging and muddy paws.

Testers say: “This is the coolest dog bed I've ever bought. I was able to choose colors, fonts, and even a custom message for my dog's bed. It looks great in our bedroom, and my pup absolutely loves it. It's held up to several years of him making his nightly nest (AKA digging until he's 100% comfy).”

Give your athlete the ultimate in comfort with this couch bed designed in partnership with veterinarians to provide support after a hard day of playing or fieldwork. It's designed to minimize pressure points and increase circulation and features one 4-inch foam layer for support, with a second layer for temperature regulation. It comes in a slew of colors with a machine washable cover. Like all Orvis beds, it will last for years and years and still look brand new.

Testers say: “Both of my dogs love the bolsters for snuggling against and using as head rests. The cover washed up easily, stood up to enthusiastic digging without snagging, and looks like a quality piece of furniture that's attractive in any room.”

If you'd love a dog bed that looks more like a piece of furniture, this stylish chaise is perfect for little dogs. The tufted design with nailhead trim is as fashionable as your own living room furniture. The length allows dogs to sprawl out, but the bolster also provides a feeling of security for your dog to lean against.

Testers say: “My toy dogs love the extra height a chaise bed provides and often stand on it to get a better view of what's going on in the house. They also like to lounge on it.”

If your dog tends to get anxious when traveling, this ingenious combination bed/ stroller/travel carrier may be the solution. The carrier portion disconnects and the cover comes off so that it can serve as a cozy bed with either a zip-in durable fabric or cozy sherpa interior lining. But the carrier also can be attached to a stroller base or a crash-tested carrier for your vehicle. You'll feel better about traveling, too, because your little darling will be safely ensconced in a cozy space.

Testers say: “My dog was relaxed in the bed/carrier portion at home. He remained calm when this part was attached to the stroller and car seat components, which means a much less stressful travel experience for both of us. Plus, I don't worry about him freaking out in the car because he is in a familiar bed.”

This donut-shaped bed has a calming effect on most dogs, and it comes in a size to fit every dog from the tiniest Maltese to the largest Great Dane. The shaggy fur is also soothing to dogs, and the shape allows them to curl up in a ball or burrow in to achieve a sense of security.

Testers say: “This is the ideal travel bed style because it's familiar, lightweight and washable. It goes with us on most of our road trips.”

Just like the mattress of the same name, this is a bed your dog will love sinking into for a long night's slumber (or his 15th nap of the day). The memory foam relieves pressure, which is ideal for senior pets or dogs with orthopedic issues, while the bolsters give your pet a place to lay his or her head. The durable cover fits neatly and stands up to plenty of digging and scratching.

Testers say: “Once unboxed, both my boys headed to investigate and promptly snuggled in. It's quickly become the preferred spot for afternoon naps or when I'm prepping food in the kitchen, and it's become a place where one of them stashes his favorite toys.”
