That's why today, we're sharing 10 of the top luxury dog beds on the market. Each is designed to offer your pup the most relaxing and restful slumber possible. Ready to learn more? Let's get into it!
Why Invest in Luxury Dog Beds?
It's easy to tell when a person hasn't gotten enough sleep. Before that first cup of java sets in, they're irritable, short-tempered and red-eyed. Turns out, dogs express many of the same attributes when they're running on fumes. According to pet experts, they'll appear disoriented, forgetful and even grumpy! While there are various sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, that could be getting in the way of the recommended 10 hours that Spot needs to function at his best, an ill-fitting bed can be a common culprit. It's important to address this issue right out the gate, as sleep is critical to your dog's healthy brain development, learning capacity, memory and immune system. Looking for the top brands and models you can trust? Here are some of our favourites.
1. Bean Bag Dog Beds
You already know that bean bags are as comfortable and supportive as they are pure fun. While you might already have a few adult-sized ones in key areas around your home, why not let your dog have a little fun, too? This large bean bag dog bed is ideal for even your fluffiest and biggest breed. Covered in a water-repellant, premium-quality, olefin acrylic fabric, it's a dream to dive into. And it's simple to maintain. The fur-lined top cover and inner liner both remove with ease, so you can spot-treat or launder them as required. Over the years, you'll find that the bed keeps its shape and quality as it's scratch, chew and shred-resistant! Unzip the cover to use it as an ideal outdoor bed, or add the faux fur top for extra warmth indoors during chilly winter months! As your pup moves around, the beans accommodate the range of motion, providing unparalleled support.
2. Casper Dog Bed
Do you already have a luxurious Casper mattress in your own bedroom? If so, you'll be pleased to learn that this top bedding brand also makes deluxe dog beds for your pint-sized pal. From average pet owners to dog trainers and veterinarians alike, everyone's giving the Casper Dog Bed five stars. What sets it apart from the rest of the pack? The bed features a memory foam base, which contours to your pup's body and offers full, soft support to relieve painful joint pressure. Surrounded by squishy foam bolsters, it offers plenty of space for your pup to lay his head. And, no matter how many times he paces the space to find his perfect position, he'll never scratch his head against a hard zipper as they're hidden in clever sewn-in pockets. One of the best parts? The nylon cover isn't only rugged and able to stand up to even the harshest scratches. It's also machine-washable and almost impossible to stain. This bed may be fancy, but it's far from delicate!
3. Best Friends By Sheri Fur Donut Cuddle
What's more glamorous than enveloping your puppy in vegan shag fur? This round bed includes a raised rim that's ideal for pups who love to curl up to dream. Supporting both their head and neck, it also provides a calming sense of security. Inside, the cloud-soft filling is plush but supportive, offering relief from joint and muscle pain. Once they're ready to settle in for the night, your pups will appreciate that this doughnut cuddle includes plenty of built-in crevices where they can scratch and "make the bed" until they're comfortable. The water and dirt-resistant bottoms add a practical touch, and the entire bed is machine-washable! Available in a 23-inch, 36-inch or 45-inch (XL) model, there's a version to meet every need. You can choose from either white frost or taupe faux fur to fit your home's aesthetic.
4. Big Barker Orthopedic Dog Bed
Think of this bed as more of a mattress with a built-in rolled pillow at the top. Resembling an adult chaise lounge, it's one of the best luxury dog beds around, available up to a Giant XXL size to accommodate even the biggest breeds. Made of therapeutic foam a whopping seven inches thick, the bed's manufacturer's guarantee that it will retain 90% of its original shape and last for at least 10 years. And, even as your Labrador jumps up and down, it won't flatten or turn into a pancake over time. Made by hand in a small, artesian California workshop, the bed features top-quality base materials and a 100% microfiber cover that's a cinch to throw in the wash. In all, this is one bed that delivers an unbeatable ROI.
5. Snoozer Orthopedic Cozy Cave Pet Bed
Does your dog love to cuddle up under your blankets at night, especially during a thunderstorm? Reclaim your bed and give him a snug space of his own! This Snoozer model is designed as a round bed with a microsuede cover that lifts open, revealing an extra-deep, decadent Sherpa interior that's begging for a snuggle. Some describe it as a pita pocket! While you can choose to fill the interior with a cedar/poly mix for maximum coziness, dogs suffering from joint pain may require the orthopedic foam alternative. The base includes three inches of orthopedic foam, and there's an extra layer of polyester batting two inches thick on the top, adding even more cushion and support. Worried your furry friend will get stuck inside? Don't be. The cover stays open thanks to a concealed plastic rod, which you can remove before putting the rest of the bed in the machine to wash. Available in three sizes and more than 40 colour and pattern options, it's easy to find a look that's totally your pup!
6. PetFusion Memory Foam Dog Bed

This bed comes with an adorable matching blanket, so you can tuck your pup in with style!
7. Snoozer Overstuffed Microsuede Pet Sofa
There's a reason that homeowners all over the world adore their plush, overstuffed sofas. They're comfortable, deep, and accommodate a range of sizes. The same holds true for this micro suede pet sofa, another standout model from Snoozer. It's shaped like a mini couch and available in more than 25 colours and patterns, making it a sweet addition to any bedroom or living room. Though it includes bolsters on the back and sides, you might find that your pup favours laying his head in a certain position. If that's the case, you can remove any of the bolsters with ease to create his ideal sleep spot. The bed itself includes a thick, high-loft polyester filling, making it heavier and more difficult for your pooch to drag around the house. Like the others on this list, this bed goes into your washer and dryer with ease for an extra level of convenience.
8. BarksBar Orthopedic Dog Bed
Did you know that it's possible for dogs to develop achy bones and joints? Known as canine arthritis, its most common type, degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis, affects one out of every five adult dogs in the United States. If your aging dog is showing signs of this condition, it's important to find a bed that will offer the right amount of support and comfort. This is where this model from BarksBar delivers. The base features four inches of human-grade orthopedic memory foam, surrounded on all sides by contouring bolsters that provide premium head and neck support. The machine-washable cover is designed in a classic quilted grey pattern, acting as the ultimate neutral in your home decor! There's no doubt this is one of the most popular raised dog beds on the market.
9. Badlands Pendleton Pet Bed
The Pendleton brand has long been synonymous with the ultimate in classic clothing and home decor. Yet, why should humans have all the fashion-forward fun? Now, your beloved pooch can spread out in a Pendleton pet bed, designed with his comfort and well-being in mind. Unlike many others on this list, this model doesn't include bolsters as it's intended for breeds that prioritize snuggles over major support. Available in a range of sizes, the bed can accommodate extra-small breeds to those that weigh more than 100 pounds. Available in multiple patterns that are all reminiscent of the brand's trademark design, this is one bed that you'll wish came in your size.
10. The Refined Canine Outdoor Dog Bed
Your dog will sit in the lap of luxury, even when it's warm outside. Not only does this outdoor dog bed by Refined Kind offer a plush, six-inch pillowtop base cushion, but its waterproof poly-rattan base also extends upward to provide a glamourous shade cover. Put this one on your deck or patio when you want to catch the eye of the neighbourhood pups, though it works as well indoors, too! In the event that muddy paws make themselves comfortable at the end of a playdate, you can throw the cover in the wash for a quick rinse. Remember, even if he's living it up in the sunshine, your dog will still need plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially in sweltering summer months. It's also smart to let him indoors during the hottest or coldest parts of the day to avoid detrimental medical conditions.
