Is this mattress bed suitable for older or arthritic dogs?
Yes, the 9cm spring foam base offers balanced support that relieves pressure on joints and muscles, making it especially suitable for senior dogs, arthritic pets, or those recovering from injury.
Does the mattress bed lose its shape over time?
No, the high-resilience foam core is designed to retain shape and support with regular use. It's built for durability, even with daily lounging or repeated washing of the cover.
Is this bed easy to clean?
Yes. The zipped cover removes in seconds and is machine washable at 30°C. The tightly woven velour surface also resists hair and can be wiped between washes to keep it fresh.

How do I choose the right size mattress bed for my dog?
Measure your dog from nose to base of tail while standing, then add 10–15cm to allow space for movement. Dogs who love to sprawl or stretch may benefit from sizing up to ensure full-body support.
Which dog breeds are mattress beds best for?
