Beds & Housing16 products
Cuddlers, orthopaedic mats, and raised beds for every sleeping style.
A dog bed is one of the most-used items a dog owns — dogs sleep 12-14 hours a day, and older dogs sleep closer to 18. The right bed supports joints, reduces stiffness in the morning, keeps the dog off cold tiles in winter and hot floors in summer, and gives anxious dogs a secure den to retreat to. Australian brands Snooza and Kazoo dominate this category alongside a good range of orthopaedic and memory-foam options from international suppliers.

Dog beds come in distinct sub-types. Cuddler beds (round, bolster-sided, high-walled) suit curly sleepers and provide an 'enclosed' feel for anxious dogs — Snooza's Cuddler range is a local favourite. Flat mats and pillows suit stretcher sleepers and pair well with crate use. Orthopaedic and memory-foam beds use pressure-distributing foam for older dogs with joint issues. Raised or elevated beds lift the dog off hot or cold ground and improve airflow in summer. Calming beds with high walls lean into anxiety-reduction design, popular for rescues and thunderstorm-sensitive dogs. Chew-proof beds exist but survival depends more on the dog than the bed.
In Australian conditions, climate shapes the bed choice more than owners often realise. Summer in Queensland calls for raised elevated beds with airflow or cooling mats that don't trap heat. Winter in Melbourne or Canberra calls for high-walled cuddlers or fleece-lined mats that hold body warmth. Multi-season households often own two beds — a cuddler for winter and a raised elevated bed for summer — rather than trying to make one bed work year-round.
How to choose
Measure your dog first. Measure from nose to base of tail when lying stretched out, then add about 20cm for comfortable turning. The bed needs to fit the dog when stretched, not just when curled. Next, match the bed type to sleeping style. Curly sleepers do better in round cuddlers with high walls. Stretchers prefer flat mats they can sprawl across. Anxious dogs benefit from enclosed designs with bolsters they can burrow into. Senior dogs with joint issues need memory-foam or orthopaedic support — thin mats don't cut it past age 8 or 9 for medium and large breeds. Check the cover: removable and washable covers are essential for anything other than young, clean dogs. Water-resistant linings prevent accidents from soaking through to the filling. For chewers, skip fabric beds and look for chew-resistant designs specifically rated for the dog's destruction level.
Key considerations
Measure the dog first
Nose-to-tail length plus 20cm for turning. The bed should fit a stretched dog, not just a curled one.
Match to sleeping style
Curly sleepers want cuddlers. Stretchers want flat mats. Anxious dogs want high-walled enclosures.
Orthopaedic for seniors
Medium and large dogs past 8-9 years benefit from memory-foam or orthopaedic beds. Thin mats leave joints sore.
Washable cover is non-negotiable
Beds get dirty fast. A removable, machine-washable cover saves the bed's life and keeps the household sane.
Climate shapes the choice
Summer calls for raised elevated beds with airflow. Winter calls for high-walled cuddlers that hold body heat.
Frequently asked
How do I measure my dog for a bed?+
Measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail when your dog is lying stretched out — not curled. Add about 20cm so the bed comfortably fits a stretched sleeper. For cuddler-style beds, use the diameter rather than a length, and check the listed 'fits dog up to X kg' range as a sanity check.
Are orthopaedic dog beds worth it?+
For older dogs, large breeds, and dogs with joint issues, yes — the thicker memory-foam or pressure-distributing foam makes a real difference to morning stiffness and overall comfort. For young healthy dogs, a standard bed is fine. The investment is worth making around age 7-8 for medium and large breeds, earlier for giant breeds prone to hip issues.
How do I stop my dog chewing their bed?+
Bed-chewing is usually a boredom or anxiety symptom. Address the underlying cause with more exercise, puzzle toys, and training before buying a chew-proof bed — otherwise they'll start on the next thing. If the dog still destroys beds, look at genuine chew-resistant options rated for serious chewers, or use a raised elevated bed with no fabric to grab.
How often should I wash a dog bed?+
The cover weekly if your dog sleeps on it every night, more often if they come in muddy or wet. The foam or filling itself only needs occasional washing unless an accident soaks through — which is why a water-resistant lining matters. Check the care label; most machine-washable covers handle a standard warm wash.
Where should I put the dog bed?+
Somewhere quiet but not isolated — dogs are social animals and prefer to be near the household rather than tucked away in a far room. Avoid direct heating vents, draughts, and cold tile floors. Many dogs appreciate having a bed in both a quiet night-time spot and a communal daytime spot.
