The Modern Mattress Bed

This BarkBox orthopedic dog bed is a total win in my house — my dog absolutely loves it. The memory foam is supportive without being too firm, and it gives them a really comfortable place to rest, especially after long walks or playtime. The bed fluffs back up nicely and doesn’t flatten out the way cheaper beds do. The cover is soft, easy to remove, and washes well, which is a huge plus. The whole bed feels well‑made and durable, and the sizing is spot‑on. Most importantly, my dog goes straight to this bed on their own, curls up, and sleeps deeply — that’s the real test. If you want a cozy, supportive bed that pets genuinely enjoy, this one is a great choice.

Bed Size: Medium (29" long) Dog: Rat Terrier mix (approx. 16 lbs) My 17-year-old arthritic pup was apprehensive about this bed at first... for maybe a day. Now it's kind of a surprise when we _don't_ see him snoring away on this bed. As I said, he's 17 and arthritic, so the firm memory foam in this bed gives him better support than other options around the house. At only 3" high (it "looks" smaller than that, but I haven't measured), it's easier for him to step on and off, too. Knock on wood, he hasn't had an accident yet (and I hope he never does!), so I can't speak to the waterproof aspect yet, but overall I'm happy with the bed... and more importantly, the dog is too. He seems to be genuinely comfortable on it, and I wasn't kidding about the snoring, either! My only complaints about the bed are nit-picky aesthetics. I ordered the sand color. What I received looks nothing like the photo. I received a hybrid... it has an espresso body with a sand top surface. I trust that's just a new style and not a factory second. In and of itself, it doesn't look bad at all, but there's a reason I ordered sand. My wife is the one who opened the package upon arrival, so I didn't get to see how it was packed; but based on the wrinkles on the bed cover, I'm guessing everything--gel foam, memory foam, and cover--were all vacuum-sealed together in one bag. The wrinkles are _not_ coming out over time and appear to be a permanent feature of the cover. Maybe they'll come out when the cover gets washed the first time? I hope so, because it doesn't look good right now. Since I shared my nit-picky complaints, let me be fair and praise one of the "little details" that drives me nuts when done wrong. The zipper to remove the cover runs length-wise, not width-wise, and even wraps around one of the corners, making it ultra easy to remove and reassemble the cover. Thank you! Alas, my dog has lost any enthusiasm for toys these days, but the "pea" would have been an enjoyment for him in earlier years, and a perfect size for him. It'll get donated to a local adoption agency where I'm sure it'll be enjoyed by many. As I've already stated, both the "old man" and I are quite happy with this bed. Offered at a fair price, too. UPDATE (8/13/2020) After writing the above review, I had to take measurements. The medium bed is 32"L x 22"W x 2.875"H, which is longer and wider than specified in the description. Be aware of that. If I had bought this item as a bed for a 30" kennel, it would be too big. Thankfully, however, that wasn't my intent (though I used it as my basis for the purchase), so the larger dimensions are a bonus in my case. FINAL UPDATE (12/20/2020) 1. It took 5 washings (maybe six), but the wrinkles finally came out of the cover. The bed looks much nicer now. 2. Alas, the old dog had a few accidents on the bed since the original review; three of them to be exact. The cover was wet but the bed inside remained dry! The long, easy-on-easy-off zipper helped get the cover off quickly and in an orderly fashion. 3. Really happy with this bed, and love the extra firmness for my boy.

My 55lb pup was recently diagnosed with IVDD so her activity is restricted and she needs to be crated during the day while I'm at work. I was between this bed and another that had similar but more reviews. I'm very happy I went with this one. She loves it. She was crate trained as a puppy but she hasn't been crated in about 5 years. Not only does she go into the crate when I'm leaving for work, she stopped sleeping with me some nights in favor of the bed. Again, she loves it. It is made of two types of foam and it expands to every bit of three inches when given some time after unpack. The bed fits perfectly in a 36.62" L x 22.84" W x 24.81 H crate. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. In fact, I just ordered another. If she's not in bed with me we spend our time on our hard floors. I will use the second bed for myself to sit on and tuck it away in a nook under the bed for her when it's not in use. I want my dog to live her best life. This bed helps her do that.

Edit: definitely not chew proof as you can see our golden destroyed it when we left her alone with it Disclosure: I got this as a promotion and therefore I did not have to pay for this bed. In return for the promotion I am writing this review. Overall, I am satisfied with bed. When it first came, it came in an air decompressed wrapper that was easily unwrapped. It took about several hours for it to completely inflate. It is made from memory foam. However, when it first came, the foam was uneven and had a portion that was elevated in the middle. My dog obviously didn’t care but I noticed it. It took couple of days from my dog sleeping on before the “bump” went away. The dimensions of the bed is relatively accurate. I got a large and I have a somewhat undersized golden retriever (60lbs), and she barely fits on it. So if you have a golden or any large breed dog, you have to go for the x-large. The bed appears to be chew resistant to this point. Although my pup has not chewed on it too many times since every time she tries, we stop her. Because of this, we cannot accurately comment on just how chew proof it really is. We also have not tried to clean it, but we can say that the outer layer seems quite easy to remove, so we will update once we wash the outer layer. As for softness, it seems quite comfortable to my touch and my pup seems to like it, and that’s all it matters. Overall, I would recommend this product to other people, although the original price tag might be a little steep, and I would recommend getting it on discount when it’s in the $30 - $40 range

I bought the 30” bed for our mini Aussie for her kennel. I was tired of the beds where I had to wash the entire thing, because they eventually fall apart at the seems and lose their fluff. Plus this dog will throw up probably every couple weeks, so it’s nice to only have to wash the cover and not the entire bed. I had done the same thing with our bigger Aussie and proves to be much more cost effective. I do have a liner on order because I want full protection for it (as I also did with my bigger dog). I’ve already washed and dried the liner and it did not shrink. The liner inside that comes with it it NOT waterproof. The bed itself has two sides. A softer and firmer side. The blue side does feel pretty soft (memory foam) and my older mini Aussie seems to like it. It expanded quickly, probably within 5-10 min to the full 3”. I was impressed. So far I’m giving tbis 5 stars. UPDATE/1.15.2021: this is still holding up well. I’ve only had to wash the cover a couple times. Still fits around the foam nicely. The foam/bedding itself is holding up well. Plus our dog it only about 18 lbs. she seems to really like it. UPDATE / 7.30.23: My little dog passed away the other day but this bed is STILL in excellent condition. I believe it helped tremendously having a separate liner inside. (She was throwing up a lot near the end of her life) The cover that came with the bed is still in great shape and held up to washes really well. I would only dry it a few minutes and then air dry the rest of the time to help prolong it’s life. I would highly recommend this product.

I ordered multiple dog beds to test them out. This one was the best. Seemed to be the highest quality.

My dog sleep on it and I ended up buying two one for each dog.

OK, this thing is ultra soft. I was debating on whether I should sleep on it or not. I am less than 120 pounds after all.😂😂😂 All jokes aside, it's really easy to assemble. You simply take it out of the package, take off the outer plastic and peel open the airtight sack. It'll them start blowing up like a Kardashian's booty. It does take a little while to air up though. For some, it can take up to 24 hours and for others you'll have to wait for 72 hours. Either way, you're going to be getting something your dogs gonna love sleeping on. Oh! I forgot to mention. It comes with a toy. So, your dog has a comfy place to sleep, and a little toy to play with for those times when he or she wakes up at night and has nothing else better to do. The covers machine washable. So you can take it off, toss it in your washer, and have it come out nice and fresh. Make sure you put it in the dryer though. No one likes sleeping on a wet soggy sheet.😂😂😂 It's very waterproof, so if your dog decides to water it, it won't seep through to the mattress. It seems to also have a cooling feature. your dog won't overheat with this one. Overall, it's a great bed. Your dog will love it. Great job bark box!

Although this bed is very comfortable and it has helped his arthritis the cover is poor quality and the zip has broken off already so I now cannot remove the cover. I’ve not even had this product a month! It is not water resistant and I’ve had to wash the memory foam mattress as well as the cover and it does not wash well.

This bed has a nice foam support. The cover is plush and my pup loves the bed. The only problem, which is the reason I give this only 2 stars, is that it is not for dogs that like to chew. After opening up the newly arrived bed for it to air and expand, my cavapoo without anyone's notice, crept into the room and chewed the corner off the cover. It took him only seconds as we discovered very quickly what he had done! As the foam is still good, I intend to sew another cover for the bed.

Great product and service! Product is exactly what is described and it inflated perfectly! Also easy to use, just strip the cover off when it needs a wash! Would buy from the supplier again!

Seems like it would be a comfy dog bed, unfortunately the blue layer of foam only fully inflate in the centre third meaning the whole bed now has a ridge in the middle. The rest took a long time to inflate, days longer then the advertised time, the tag says the company received it from the manufacture in 2021 and I purchase end of 2022 so maybe it was rolled up to long?!... Might still be usable...cover is nice.
