Joint-kind dog bed with memory foam, designed to provide restful and pain-free sleep, with a high border and raised entry, with a separate plush inlay that can be washed, ideal for older dogs.
The Orthopaedic Dog Bed with a visco-elastic memory foam mattress as well as an extra high border offers your dog the highest levels of comfort as well as restful sleep that is kind on the joints.
Memory foam such as that used in the Orthopaedic Dog Bed has been used for many years in caring for human joints, as it shapes itself perfectly to the body, thus relieving strain from the joints and spine. This is achieved through the body's natural warmth, which allows your dog to sink into the mattress. This Orthopaedic Dog Bed helps to ensure beneficial sleep. The memory foam will then return to its original shape once your dog gets up. An additional, extra thick foam layer helps to prevent it from wearing through.
A separate plush layer on the laying surface is fastened to the bed with Velcro and can be quickly and easily removed, so that it can be simply cleaned when needed. The anti-slip base is made from black nylon with anti-slip knobs.

Bed is comfy and my dog likes it. Sides and the bed itself are softer than I was expecting but she doesn't mind. I don't think she really likes the fleece cover as she keeps removing it. Might be too warm maybe. Overall I am very pleased. Haven't tried washing anything apart from the fleece yet, but that washed well.

Great for arthritic dogs
My 10 year old, 35 kg dog was finding it difficult to walk right away after getting up from her old bed. At first she was suspicious of a new one, but after a day or two took to it like the proverbial duck. Her stiffness has disappeared and she’s more like her younger self. Highly recommended.

Largest bed
I've bought the largest bed in this range and my dog absolutely loves it. It's a bit too large for a labrador but he seems comfortable. You can remove all covers for washing and they seem easy to clean with wipes, too. We have removed the white blanket on top because it's too hot but it'll be amazing for winter. Overall, very happy with this purchase so far; the very first time buying an expensive dog bed so we hope it lasts.

Week zip
This bed was exactly what I needed and the dog took to it straight away but after just a few months the main zip failed .... such a shame, it’s far too small a zip for this size bed and such a hassle to return it ...and not a repair I could do

5 stars from the dog, 2 stars from me
We got the medium size bed for our second home, and our old dog loves it so much that we bought the large one for at home, where the dog and the cat share it. Unfortunately, the zips in the larger one are not up to the job - they broke the first time I had to take the cover off for washing.

Orthopaedic Dog Bed
Sadly the zip broke in mine after the first wash. Very disappointing as the back prop can no longer be zipped up and collapses

Quality different from before
Just received new bed ... 3rd one ordered purely because of wear from older GSD ... this one definitely appears to be of inferior quality especially the bolster pillow round the edge . Did read previous reviews but didn’t think would make that much difference guess time will tell .

Great bed but...
Hi I bought this bed for my dog and after 3 days it’s starting falling apart the material is so thin. I contact to costume services. I even make some photos very disappointed. It’s shame.

Both dog's love the bed
Great bed and both our Labradors love sleeping in it during daytime and it looks like a comfy bed indeed. The lower rating is because after the first wash the zipper that holds the side cushion failed and the cushion falls out every time and that the bed top, despite washing it several times looks and feels very worn out (more then the usual ware and tear

So comfy - dog LOVES it!
Great quality dog bed.
Really comfortable, especially if your dog usually sleeps on a sofa - it's like they have their very own!
Worth the premium price tag.

Good, but not as good as previous one!
This is a great bed, our Lab loves it and you can't get her out of it. I would still buy it over others, however..
the bed is not the same as the first one we bought, the makers have changed it. The cover does not fasten on as good, the sides are not as strong and the mattress is thinner. I knew it was different when it arrived as the box wasn't as big.
Still a great bed though but I wish they would change it back.

Our German Shepherds love this bed
I ordered one of these in the middle size for our oldest dog and from day one they both wanted to be in it! So we now have two of the large size as well for them to stretch out in comfort. I’m waiting for delivery of a second medium size today to keep them both happy. Our two like the medium to curl up in during the day downstairs, and the large to sleep in upstairs. We have also taken them in the back of our estate car to use when away as they aren’t too heavy.

Poor quality to the previous two
This is my third bed, the other two seemed much better, the head rest is not filled as good as the other two, my dog seem to sweat more in this one there is always a damp,patch under the bed, ( he hasn't pee'ed on it), so have turned the foam upside down which seems better!!! I don't think this bed is going to last as long as the other two, shame as my English bullterrier loves it.

Very comfortable bed
We bought two of these beds many years ago for our old retriever who is sadly nomlonger with us. We now have a 2year old retriever who loves the beds.
Well worth the money.

Poor quality
I have purchased two of these beds in the past few years which were excellent but the one l purchased today is awful, everything about it is poor quality, the previous beds lasted three years before needing replaced doubt this one will last three weeks, wish l had read reviews before buying again..

My dog now sleeps better than the rest of the family.
As always, Zooplus delivered really quickly and I can't fault them.
In hindsight, perhaps I should have got the tape measure out, as I think the medium size would have sufficed instead of the large, but my dog loves the extra room to stretch out if he wants. In fact, the whole family can join him!
It looks like the sheepskin cover comes off the bed to be washed independently of the rest of it, which is a bonus as older dogs tend to leave more little marks around...all in all, I'm very pleased.

Zips are very poor
My dogs love these beds but the zip on one has broken after I had removed the cover for the first time. Since I'd only had the bed a couple of months, it was very disappointing.

Best Bed Purchase
Our 8 year old Lab LOVES this bed - he has even stopped climbing on to the sofa for a cuddle , preferring to be stretched out on his bed in comfort. The only thing I am not keen on is the white fluffy cover as that and a black lab don`t mix but I have a large piece of vet bed that I lay over it to try and keep it a bit cleaner - having wasted a lot of money on beds over the years this seems like the best buy yet.
