What sleeping style is best matched to a bolster bed?
Dogs who curl into corners, lean on soft sides, or rest their heads on cushions are ideal matches for bolster beds. The raised sides provide comfort, security, and gentle support — perfect for dogs that like structure while sleeping.
Which dog breeds typically prefer bolster beds?
Bolster beds are especially loved by breeds like Cockapoos, Dachshunds, Whippets, French Bulldogs, and Spaniels. Larger sizes suit breeds like Vizslas, Labradors, and German Shepherds that enjoy neck support and stretching room.
Do bolster beds flatten over time?
The base uses solid foam designed to stay supportive with daily use. The tubular bolster and inner padding will naturally compress slightly but retain shape with regular fluffing and care — built for long-lasting comfort.
Can you remove the hood?
Yes — the hood is fully removable using a sturdy zip. Keep it on for a cosy cocoon-like space, or zip it off in warmer months or for dogs that prefer a more open sleeping style. It’s two beds in one!
How do I clean the bolster bed?
The outer cover is removable and machine washable at 30°C. For in-between cleans, you can brush or vacuum the teddy fleece to lift loose fur. An optional waterproof liner helps protect the foam base from accidents or moisture.
Will the bed lose its shape over time?
The foam base and bolster are made to retain their shape with daily use. We use high-quality inserts designed for long-lasting structure and comfort. Gentle fluffing and regular care help keep the bed looking and feeling its best.
Is the hood secure or does it sag down?
The removable hood is designed to zip on securely and create a cosy, den-like feel. While it’s flexible for comfort, it won’t collapse flat — offering dogs a sense of coverage without restricting movement. If your dog prefers more open space, it can be unzipped in seconds.
What if my dog chews zips or fabrics?
If your dog tends to chew, it’s worth noting that when the hood is removed, the zip teeth are exposed. While the materials are durable, no bed is fully chew-proof. For known chewers, we recommend supervised use or keeping the hood attached.
Is the bolster bed suitable for puppies or growing dogs?
Yes, the supportive foam base and plush sides make it ideal for puppies learning to settle, while the zip-off hood offers added security for anxious pups. Choose a size with some room to grow, and the bed will continue to support them as they mature.
What if I have two dogs that like to share a bed?
The XL bolster bed is spacious enough for two small to medium dogs to curl up together comfortably. The wraparound bolster and deep base give shared sleepers plenty of support and softness without feeling cramped.
