Prettiest Dog Bed
Wicker Dog Bed

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.”

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).”

Somewhat awkward to assemble by yourself

Most Stylish Dog Bed
La-Z-Boy Solana Chaise Furniture Dog Sofa

Pros
Chic styling blends with your decor
Elevated design for easy access
Cons
Not designed for dogs that weigh more than 40 pounds
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.”
Best Dog Bed Travel System
Tavo Pets 3-in-1 Pet Protection System

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.”
Pros
Machine washable
Lightweight and easy to transport for travel
Cons
Loses its fluffiness over time
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.”

Best Memory Foam Dog Bed
Casper Memory Foam The Dog Bed

Pros
Removable, machine washable cover
Sizes to accommodate dogs up to 90 pounds
Can buy additional replacement covers
Cons
Limited color selection
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.”

Best Eco-Friendly Dog Bed
Orvis ComfortFill-Eco Fur Wraparound Dog Bed

Pros
Removable, machine-washable cover
Bolster all around to provide a sense of security
Cons
Only available in two colors
If your dog is a snuggler, this wrap-round style is ideal for providing a sense of security.

The cover zips off for easy washing, and like all Orvis beds, it's meant to last for years and still look new. Plus, you can get it personalized with your best friend's name!
Reviewers say: “My dog is a rescue pup and very sensitive to changes. She had an old bed that was falling apart and we knew that we would have a problem getting a replacement. We received the new bed in from Orvis and she immediately jumped in! We were absolutely shocked. She sleeps in it all the time now.”

What Should You Look For In A Dog Bed?

There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a dog bed, says Dr. Bryant:
- Size. The bed should be larger than the dog and enable your pup to stretch out.
- Washable. This is essential because accidents happen, and dog beds can get smelly if they cannot be cleaned periodically.
- Chew-resistant. This is important if your dog is a chewer or a puppy, or even if your dog likes to dig and scratch around before settling down.
- Water-resistant. This is helpful if your dog isn’t potty-trained or if your pet is incontinent.
