BarksBar Snuggly Sleeper Large Gray Diamond Orthopedic Dog Bed with Solid Orthopedic Foam, Soft Cotton Bolster, and Ultra Soft Plush Sleeping Space – 40 x 30 Inches

Long review, terrific product! !!!!
My dear pup, Dufus, has reached the gentle age of 13 years and I have noticed her having some discomfort when getting out of her bed in the mornings. Let’s face it, time can be hard on old bones. (Being ancient myself, I can sympathize. ) Therefore, I spent a little time researching orthopedic beds, especially for larger dogs as my baby weighs about 80 pounds. (Please don’t let her know I revealed that – you know how sensitive some folks can be regarding such things.) With winter coming, I also wanted a bed with cushioned sides to protect her from drafts. Many of the items I researched didn’t meet my requirements for size, cushioning, sides, and — we won’t even discuss some of the outrageous prices I stumbled across. Eventually however, I found exactly what I was looking for. This bed arrived and my Dufus absolutely loves it. Everything about it screams quality. The material is top knotch. The mattress is soft but firm and thick. And the price is truly surprising, especially for the size. I was so impressed, I ordered a second bed for the family room. Yes, I spoil her, but she’s worth it. The only problem with the bed was with the directions. Not being the brightest bulb on the string, I carefully read every word and followed them exactly. Never having dealt with memory foam before, I was surprised at how thin it was when rolled and sealed. The directions said to open and let inflate for 2 to 3 hours before inserting into the pocket on the bottom of the bed. Wow, I sure wish I could get my paycheck to grow that fast and large!! After only half an hour, the foam appeared to be at least 5 times it’s original size. Amazing stuff! At that time, and being eager to see the completed product, I began to insert the pad into the prepared pocket. Have you ever pictured a 500 pound person trying to fit into a size small pair of skinny jeans??? My exertions for the next hour were an enormous source of amusement to my entire four-legged family. I think the cats may even have posted a video. Eventually, after much sweat, determination, and x-rated language, Dufus was presented with her new, deluxe, comfortable bed. She immediately laid in it for a sorely needed nap. I think she wore herself out trying not to laugh at her hooman’s antics. When the second bed arrived, the foam was inserted into the bottom pocket within a minute of being opened. It was so very much easier!! I left the zipper open to allow air to reach the pad for inflation. After an hour or two, with no effort from me, it was done. Although this eleminated all the wrestling, cussing, and sweating, I think the felines were disappointed not to have another opportunity to embarrass me on YouTube. Otherwise, this lovely bed is top notch all the way. (I am even thinking of getting one for the cantankerous cats, in spite of their disloyalty.) Sorry this review has turned into a novel. Just try this product, it’s pretty darned good. Nuff said.

MY DOGS 🐕 ❤ LOVE THESE BEDS…
I have 3 older dogs, their all Chuhuahuas. 10yrs, 12yrs & 15yrs old. I Spoil them & only get them the Best. I bought 3 of these Orthopedic beds for them. They ABSOLUTELY Love them. The bottom mattress is 3inches Thick. It takes about 3 days for it to Puff up. Be Patient. These are the Best Dog Beds I have ever bought my Babies. They are made Solid. The sides don’t break down. They love laying their heads on the sides. The material is Superb. It’s not that fluffy loose stuff it’s weaved tightly. The grey neutral color goes with everything. I haven’t had to wash them yet. But when you wash them you remove the bottom mattress & sides. So your just washing the shell of the bed, not the mattress or stuffing. I always had problems with my dogs previous beds stuffing coming apart when I washed them, these won’t do that. They also clean up good with a spray stain remover, stuff comes right off & doesn’t leave any stains. Their worth over $40 for the Quality that they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ONLY THE BEST FOR MY BABIES. SWEET DREAMS TO ALL THE PUPPIES OUT THERE

Excellent bed for the price, well made… in this era of lousy pet bed choices at your local stores…..
OK so I have a lot to say about this bed. I do rescue and I get alot of secondhand pet beds. I also have purchased quite a few at the local pet stores. Many of the new beds are junk. I need ones I can wash, because doing cat rescue means hairballs and all sorts of accidents. And they need to hold up to multiple washings and be easy to put back together. (funny it’s always easy to take them apart, eh?)Now that my personal dog (a 45 pound Bassett) is over age 10, I have been searching for an ortho bed for her. So I bought one of those flat square ones from the local Petsmart. Got one on sale for about $28 which was a great deal at the time. It did not last, the egg crate “support” was not easily washed when liquid seeped thru the cheap-o fleece cover. By the time I realized these square flat dog beds were too lousy for words, I had purchased three (two still with me). I had to cut the egg crate into big slices to be able to put it on delicate in the washer. Also to try to avoid these accidents seeping into the egg crate again, I had to insert a washable pee-pad over the egg crate when I reassembled. Very frustrating.So I was on the search for a durable, washable, higher quality pet bed. I’ve had several donated that are absolutely well made, however I realized they are from years ago when things were made higher quality (alas but less attrition for those corporate giants). Unfortunately these were cat beds which my dog cannot use.I stumbled upon this one after visiting and re-visiting some of the bully beds which are lifetime warranty but priced into the stratosphere.So, I bought one. OK so the foam has to expand for 2 hours….got that done. Now the foam is square but the bed is round? After inserting the foam and struggling to close the zipper, I realize this is a very inventive way to support the bed. You can see the square “foundation” in the picture. The foam is square, and after you zip it in, it’s all good …. the dog absolutely loves it (and so do the cats).Now comes the time when I must wash it. Since the only “assembly” I had to do when it arrived was the foam, that is all I took out when I forced it into the washing machine (around the agitator). It was after this bed was laundered that I realized the side bolsters have their own zipper (the instructions with the bed are minimal so I bet I’m not the first person to figure this out after the fact). So, heads up, there is a 2nd zipper (and yes the zippers are well hidden by a tailored flap).Bottom line: this is a VERY WELL MADE bed for the same price as one of those cheesy, fleece covered flat egg crate beds sold at Petsmart and similar stores that are only so thick and bottom out quickly for your dog. This one has excellent padding and my dog loves having a “headrest”. Her only issue is getting in and out of it, she has short stubby legs and she finally learned to go in on the front side!Just be aware it is a struggle to get them assembled the first time and after each wash…but definitely worth it.Note: I had previously bought a “large” size for my Bassett, it is too big for her, but the cats enjoy being in there with her. 🙂 The medium could be considered a bit small for her, though, I wish there were a size in between.

The bed is well-designed, well-made and of excellent quality. I bought this bed after carefully researching the beds available and I’m glad I did. My dog absolutely loves it.

Okay bed but not memory foam. Feeling a bit cheated. Just normal foam. Bought the small bed. The sides are too big for my shih tzu to use the sides as a pillow.
