Luxury dog beds your pampered pooch can relax in

As humans, we spend hundreds of pounds on a mattress to guarantee us a peaceful slumber, so why wouldn't you want to invest in luxury dog beds for your pooch to reap the benefits just like we do? Quality of sleep is just as important to our pooches as it is to us. Ultimately, they spend more time snoozing than we do, with the average adult dog clocking up between 12-14 hours of shut-eye a day. This is why you need to get them a soft and comfy dog bed to rest their head on.

It takes a lot of energy for your pooch to chase after toys, tuck into tasty treats, enjoy all the fuss, and just generally be a good doggo. This is why they need a lot of sleep to re-coop it all, so finding the perfect bed for your dog to lie down on and relish in some down time is essential.

You can get some great quality dog beds for under £50, however, the cheaper dog beds can show signs of wear and tear more quickly compared to luxury dog beds, due to the types of materials used. The padding can soon lose its firmness and the sides may not be as sturdy as they once were. So for this reason, it's definitely worth splashing out on a luxury dog bed to begin with if it means you won't have to replace it in a few months' time.

FAQs

Is it worth investing in a luxury dog bed?

Amy Curtis, Marketing Manager at Sleepeezee, offers her advice when it comes to choosing the right luxury dog bed, “When investing in a dog bed, don’t rush into buying a cheaper model, you’ll not only compromise on the quality but will often end up having to buy another one sooner than you would like to.

"After all, you would spend a significant amount of time researching and testing a human bed, so this investment should be the same for your pet. The key is to find a bed that benefits your dog and also matches your budget and lifestyle requirements."

What are the benefits of a memory foam dog bed?

Amy explains: “A memory foam dog bed not only feels good but has added health benefits as well. Dogs of all ages and breeds will put stress on their bones, muscles and joints throughout the day, and our dog bed has been designed specifically to provide the ultimate place for your dog to relax.

"Though comfortable for any type of dog, a memory foam bed is the ideal choice for older and thin dogs who may experience painful aches and pains. Lovingly handmade right here in the UK, the Sleepeezee dog bed moulds itself to your dog’s body shape, allowing their bones, muscles and joints to rest peacefully in their natural position – ensuring your dog wakes up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated for the day ahead."

What are the benefits of dog beds?

On average, dogs only stand on their feet for five hours a day and sleep for around twelve hours, so it's no wonder they require a comfortable bed to relax on. Here are some reasons why purchasing a dog bed is essential for your pet and your household.

It gives dogs extra support

Dogs need somewhere comfortable to sleep. Sleeping on a cold, hard surface can produce sores, chafing or discomfort. No matter how old your dog is, it can develop joint issues, and hip dysplasia or could be recovering from surgery or broken bones. If your dog is older, it may need an orthopaedic dog bed for better support.

It gives them their own space

Dogs are denning creatures; in the wild, they will find a spot to keep themselves warm and gather leaves to create their den. It works the same in a domestic environment as well. If your pet does not a have designated bed, they will make their own cosy nest using blankets or laundry. Providing them with a dog bed or two will give them somewhere they feel warm, safe, and undisturbed.

It gives them security

If you have an anxious pooch, their dog bed will give them a sense of security, especially if you pick one that's designed to be an anti-anxiety dog bed. Even if you leave your pet at home for the day, they will feel secure and safe in their dog bed. Dog beds are also ideal for taking on trips or moving to a new house as even in a strange environment, their bed will be predictable and comforting.

It keeps their fur contained

Dog beds not only benefit your pet but you as the owner too. Dog beds will help minimize the amount of fur shedding in other parts of your home. As dogs spend much of their time resting, most of the fur will collect in their beds – making cleaning up more manageable. Most dog beds come with a removable cover, so you can easily wash the bed if it needs a deep cleaning.
