This is a really good price range. You start to get so many options, colors, and sizes by just going up a bit in price. You also get more padding for your pup.

The Furhaven Pet Traditional Orthopedic Foam Dog Bed looks amazing. This jumbo mattress measures 44 inches by 35 inches, so it can hold a whole lot of doggo. This mattress would be perfect for any pup that has some joint pain or trouble sleeping. The soft gray color would look fine in any room. You can get this in other colors and sizes, but this one is just right. The cover is removable and washable, so we like that. It has more than 22,000 reviews — how could you not get it?

Keep it under $100

OK, hear us out. We know $100 sounds scary. Think of it this way: How many $20 beds are you going to have to buy over the course of a year because your dog just tears through them? It’s the same as when buying your own mattress. You get what you pay for. It doesn’t hurt to just look at the options.

The Suede Dog Bed by Majestic Pet Products is a keeper at under $100. We checked the largest size option, which is 52 inches of round doughnut comfort, and it still came in under budget. If you went down to the 40- or 32-inch option, you’d take the price way down. This one comes in a ton of colors, which we love, and is waterproof. Your dog can drool away while dreaming of chasing squirrels. That means it’s also machine washable. The fact that this is for a bigger pup but still under $100 is amazing. The reviews are pretty good, too.

$72 from Walmart

The Dog’s Bed Orthopedic Dog Bed is for the older good boys and the pups that have a hard time getting around because of pain issues. This is quite the dog mattress. It layers on six inches of foam for your pup to relax on. This mattress measures 40 inches by 25 inches. You can remove the cover and toss it in the wash. Perfect for old pups or to try to keep your younger pupper younger for longer. It also comes in a bunch of color and size options. With a few thousand good reviews, it seems to do the job right.

One of the most lovable things about dogs is their attachment to you, their pet parent. They want to be wherever you are — no ifs, ands, or buts.
