Best Dog Bed Caves for 2022

Another widely popular choice, the Furhaven Dog Nest Bed, is impressive because it features orthopaedic foam and has a faux lambswool lining.

With the Furhaven Dog Nest, you can choose between memory foam, cooling gel foam or orthopaedic support foam for cushioning in your dog’s bed. It’s not just buzzwords either; the beds are crafted with a medical-grade support foam underneath your choice of cushioning, so your pup will have firm support as well as comfort. This will eliminate any issues of sinking memory foam and can relieve any joint pain/pressure while improving body alignment.

As if the design wasn’t smart enough, the hood can also transition to be used as a duvet or a tented cave, so you can adapt the bed to what your pup prefers. Finally, a lining of insulting sherpa will ensure your dog is wrapped up in cosy comfort.

This bed is technically the largest on our list, at 98cm, but it is a bit pricier than the rest. Having said that, if you’re willing to spend a bit more for top-notch quality and need something for a large dog such as a Vizsla, Pointer or Terrier, then it is the best you can buy.

They will feel cosy and secluded while staying warm in winter. These breeds have short coats and often love the mud and rain, so warmth is vital. Unlike a lot of the other beds around, the hood on this bed is padded which gives extra warmth too.

It also keeps its shape, so if you are concerned about your dog not liking having to burrow in and think something more solid will be appealing to them, it is perfect. The tubing will keep everything supported so they don’t feel trapped.

The hood is attached with both velcro strips, and a zip at one side for a bit more reliability.

As a slightly alternative version of the dog cave, snuggle beds are becoming increasingly popular, and the Charley Chau Snuggle is the most luxe of them all. Charley Chau is a British brand that prides itself on quality and luxury, and this bed goes above and beyond.

Let’s firstly begin with the deep-filled hypoallergenic mattress that’s soft but supportive and designed with internal channels to stop the fibre filling from moving around. This means your dog won’t ever have to put up with a mattress going lumpy!

The outer cover is made from a premium weave that’s often found on sofas and armchairs; it’s an upholstery grade 57/43 and is known for its robust qualities.

And just in case the deep filled mattress wasn’t cosy enough, the bed has Charley Chau’s exclusive faux fur fleece lining that’s known for its calming attributes since it replicates a mother’s fur.

More often than not, dog cave beds are tailored to small dogs and cats, so it’s refreshing when a brand thinks of the larger pups too.

This model is also available in small, medium and extra-large so you don’t have to leave the toy breeds out, but the large size offers dogs something a bit roomier. It is available in tan or blue, and the faux sheepskin inner will keep your pooch lovely and warm and snug.

We love how the hood is actually a removable zipped attachment as well, so on warmer days, you can take it off and allow them to stretch out. This also makes it ideal for use in a car or on holiday.

The suede-like exterior is nice and easy to keep clean and also helps the whole bed look rather stylish and expensive. Dogs can get right in and either snuggle tight or spread out, depending on how they are feeling.

The hood height on all models is 10cm, which should give dogs enough room to get in and turned around.

When it comes to cave beds, Snoozer’s Cosy Cave is perhaps one of the most popular choices in the dog community. It’s a seriously impressive bed for your dog to nestle into with its deep thick cushioning, sherpa cover and a supported arch to give them the enclosed sense of safety that will soothe them.

It’s perfect for dogs that love to get under your covers, and it’s also available with an orthopaedic foam base in case your pup needs extra support for any aching joints.

The cushion is puffed up with added polyfill and has cedar in for a tranquil, pleasant smell as well.

Best Friends with Sheri is a leading brand in dog beds thanks to her ever-popular donut bed, and now she’s created a hooded version. With its soft faux fur interior, calming donut shape and deep filled cushioning, this bed is a little haven for any pup and will soothe any worries they have.

It’s also filled with premium virgin Airloft fibres that hold its shape three times longer than other pet bed fillings.

The high walls and hood create a sense of security as it envelops your pooch and gives them a little privacy away from daily distractions.

The bed is also encased with a textured upholstery-grade microfiber that’s durable and hard-wearing to protect the bed from any scratches, and since the textured bottom is water-resistant, no wet surfaces will affect your little buddy.

Thanks to the removable hood cover, this bed is not only cosy but multifunctional and practical too. It is the ideal hideout for winter when it is cold, and summer when they need to be able to stretch out instead.

It also means both the cover and the hood are washable, which helps with hairs and pongs. The sherpa lining is really soft and comfortable for all dogs, and the 25″ base gives them enough cushioning for any floor type.

The price is a real selling point, too. For under £30, it may not be a bed that can rival the top end cushioned supportive dog beds out there, but it is still good enough to make it into our top 10 and even beat some twice the price.

Unfortunately, it is only Small, so will suit dogs up to the size of a French Bulldog or Bischon Frise. But if you have one of these breeds, it is an ideal place for them to call home.

Made from 600 denier nylon, this cave bed will not only give your pup some shelter from a busy environment but from any moisture as well. It’s ideal for outside or inside, and since it’s raised off the ground, it will improve air circulation helping your pup to regulate their temperature better.

The tent has two windows that you can open to allow more air to flow through, or they can be closed to help your dog settle better.

A raised bed has also been found to have orthopaedic properties since the joints aren’t coming into contact with a hard surface. Mesh is naturally stretchy, so it allows your dog’s weight to sink in rather than create pressure in the way that a hard floor would.

Designed especially for puppies, this plush little cave is perfect for the new addition to the family. The warm padding inside will surround them with a sense of warmth and comfort, while the tent will give them the privacy they need to relax and settle in.

The faux fur fleece lining covers the inside of the tent, giving a soft to the touch feel, and a fur-like texture that’s comforting in the way their mother’s fur would be.

The bed is also a sophisticated grey colour that will fit perfectly with any decor, and the dome shape is reminiscent of the kind of luxury yurt that you can expect to find on Airbnb.

We love Best Friends By Sheri so much that we decided to feature them twice, and while the other option is more of a snuggle, the Honeycomb hut is more cavelike with its complete roof and dome inside.

It’s perfect for small dogs and acts as a 2-in-1 since the roof folds in on itself to make an open bed. So you can alter your dog’s space depending on how they’re feeling.

If your dog gets cold easily, this bed is an ideal choice since it’s by far one of the best on the list to keep the heat in. And for extra convenience, the exterior is made from tightly woven microfiber for extra durability and to keep out dust mites.
