The best oversized dog beds your pup will love

If you’ve ever come home from work and caught your pup snoozing on your bed, you know. Dogs like a soft place to lie down every bit as much as we do. And why not? They spend as much as 18 hours a day sleeping.

Big dogs, in particular, can develop health-related problems, such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, and joint pain, as they age. Not only does the right bed provide comfort and support, but it also enhances good sleep, which is equally important for their cognitive health. The right bed is also one that gives your pooch plenty of room to stretch out comfortably.

So, how big should a dog bed be? Take a look at these oversized dog beds for your favorite pup.

FunnyFuzzy Large Dog Cushion Bed

FunnyFuzzy

This oversized dog bed does more than just give your furry companion a place to lay their head. It’s ultra-soft and plushy, scratch-resistant, and offers enhanced head support thanks to a substantially thickened headrest. Your good boy — or girl — gets neck, head, and spine protection while they relax, ideal for their warm little bodies. Better yet, the detachable cover unzips easily and can be thrown in the washer for a quick clean. The spacious design gives them plenty of room to stretch their legs for proper pooch pampering.

Casper Dog Bed

Casper

Well, you treat your dog like a member of the family, so why not buy him a dog bed manufactured by a mattress company? When your dog sleeps on a Casper dog bed, he’s sleeping on a mattress made with memory foam and support foam to give him a good night’s sleep (or daytime nap).

We also appreciate:

  • The research: 110 prototypes developed, 480 hours of laboratory testing, and 11 months of dog sleep studies.
  • The 30-day, risk-free trial.
  • Free shipping and returns.

You’ll pay more for this dog bed, but customers rave about Casper’s quality and customer service. Pet owners with dogs who like to scratch their bedding before they lie down say the material holds up well to the abuse. Another says her dog, who has a choice of several beds throughout the house, seeks out the Casper to catch a nap during the day.

One more thing …


While it might be tempting to cuddle with your dog in your own bed, experts advise against it. Research from Mayo Clinic indicates that your quality of sleep suffers when your dog sleeps in your bed as opposed to sleeping in his own bed in your room. So, while your dog (and maybe you, if you’re being honest) loves snuggling in your bed, buying him his own oversized dog bed is a sure way to ensure sweet dreams for you both.

The best medium-sized dog breeds for your family
These dogs are the perfect size — and temperament — for families with kids

Whether you're a veteran dog owner or are new to the canine world, it can be immensely helpful to do your research before adopting the dog of your dreams. After all, step one is to figure out what your ideal four-legged friend might be like.
Will they cuddle up with you at the end of the day, or will they sleep in a dog bed all their own? Would you like a high-energy friend or a canine buddy that can binge-watch your favorite Netflix show at all hours of the day with you? Perhaps even more importantly, what size dog can you handle in your home?
Medium-sized dogs are a perfect fit for those who may want the activity of a larger dog without the massive size. Many families prefer mid-sized canines because they're large enough to play with children without getting hurt, but they're not too large to spook or knock over a child (most of the time, anyway). There can be many reasons why a medium-sized dog breed is your perfect fit, but how do you know what breed to look into? Let us help you decide.
