As soon as I took out this bed, both my dog and cat were obsessed. I barely had a chance to put it down before they started trying to get in!" noted our tester. Your small-sized senior (dog or cat!) will have no problem catching up on their beauty rest in this bed. Regardless of their preferred sleeping style—curler, sprawler, leaner, or all of the above—the wrap-around bolster makes it easy for a dog to find the right spot for lounging and snoozing. "It looks as cute as it’s cozy, so you can place it in any room of the house." Orthopedic beds add an extra layer of support for dogs that have arthritis, achy joints, or mobility issues,” explains Dr. Tori Countner, DVM, owner of The Balanced Pet Vet. “Memory foam is ideal since it is a little firmer and prevents sagging so dogs can get up easier from their bed, and it gives extra support to joints." For senior dogs who are crate-trained, the Milliard Orthopedic Dog Bed is perfectly proportioned to fit into their personal safe space. It’s made from supportive egg crate foam that is designed to provide orthopedic support for aging pooches. "This bed has great support for him," remarked our tester who has a 13-year-old doggo with hip dysplasia. "He can very comfortably lay down fully [and] stand up much more efficiently."As your dog gets older, it's important to make sure they have the support they need. An orthopedic dog bed is designed to take pressure off their joints as they rest, and it may be beneficial for your dog, especially if you are noticing that they seem a little stiff and are having trouble getting out of their current bed. The low profile and absence of bolsters will make it easier for smaller and older dogs to get in and out of the bed on their own. The orthopedic foam provides support and comfort, and the plush cover—which can be removed for cleaning, will make your dog feel cozy but not too warm. "The cover fabric is a soft, thin sherpa-type covering which was actually fine for summer." The removable cover is water-resistant and machine-washable, and an additional waterproof liner surrounds the memory foam, so it easily stands up to drool and spills. Our tester found the bed easy to clean and made to last. Every time she is in the bed, she uses the outer cushion as a pillow," said our tester, who has a senior dog at home. "She apparently loves it."

The bed makes use of memory foam to provide a medium firm feel and comprehensive support. The foam is CertiPUR-US certified, which means a third-party non-profit has verified that the foam used in PetFusion's construction does not contain mercury, lead, formaldehyde, or phthalates, and won't harm indoor air quality. The surrounding bolster is made with recycled polyfill—a little like a beanbag chair—so it will conform to your dog's shifting and snuggling. The bed's outer cover is durable and seems to hold up well to the dogs jumping on and off of it," shared our tester who has two large dogs with chewing habits at home.The bed does not have any built-in support to keep it in place, so we recommend placing it against a wall if it tends to shift. Your dog will feel pampered with a built-in headrest and memory foam designed to take the pressure off their joints and promote more restful sleep. If you have a dreamer that tends to drool, the water-resistant cover is easy to spot clean, but it can also be unzipped and laundered. "Anyone with a larger dog, this is one of the best beds I have come across!" The design of this orthopedic bed features a built-in entry dip to make getting in and out more approachable—which is very important for a dog with mobility issues or stiff joints. The cover can be removed and machine-washed for easy care, but the bed itself should never be submerged in water.

This roundup was written by Anna Mejorada, a writer for The Spruce Pets, who shares her home with a pomeranian named Gidget. Before researching and writing about pet products for a living, Mejorada embarked on a self-mandated, ongoing quest to find the optimal items for her dog. She is now delightfully devoted to helping humans discover and select the most favorable products for their pets. When it comes to dog beds, the two main styles to look for are flat beds and bolster beds. “Some dogs like flat beds, others prefer a bolster along the sides to feel safe or rest their heads on,” says Dr. Countner. “Some dogs like a cooling pad/gel built in since their joints can be inflamed and run warm.”The base of the bed is made with charcoal to help absorb odors, and it's available in several sizes and four color options. Orthopedic dog beds are designed to provide superior support to your dog’s joints, and to do this, they need to be made from high-quality materials. “Material such as memory foam helps support joints and limbs while laying down and provide stability when getting up from the beds,” explains Countner. “The bed should have a non-slip underside or should be placed on non-slip flooring to prevent instability when standing up.”

If your dog is on the bigger side, then the KOPEKS Orthopedic Dog Pillow is the one for you. Its plush suede cover will provide comfort and the anti-slip bottom will secure the bed in place. "My dogs melt into this bed," exclaimed our tester who has two considerably-sized canines, each weighing 90-95 pounds. "The support is great and the bed itself has a fluffy top and nice sides as well." To wash an orthopedic dog bed, you’ll want to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically entails removing the cover, which may be able to go in the washing machine—you’ll want to consult its care tag to see what cycle to use. Most orthopedic dog beds have memory foam inside, which can only be spot cleaned.Applying a cooling element has been shown to help reduce inflammation in joints, according Countner, so an orthopedic bed with built-in cooling gel can provide an extra level of comfort for your aging dog. The Sealy Lux Orthopedic Dog Bed is made with memory foam and cooling gel to dissipate heat while your dog is resting. If your dog tends to gnaw on plush items, then this is the orthopedic dog bed for you. The cover is resistant to scratching, digging, chewing, and water. "
