Best Indestructible Dog Beds of 2022

When it comes to dog beds, Scruffs is in a league of its own. Chew resistant… orthopaedic… and waterproof… there’s very little that the Armourdillo Heavy Duty dog bed doesn’t achieve.

This bed is impressive enough for comfort alone with a dense foam core and an orthopaedic memory foam topper. This memory foam topper moulds to the shape of your dog’s body, relieving pressure and preventing long-term joint problems.

But with a 1680 denier ballistic material, this bed is near unbreakable and will have a strong resilience against scratching and chewing. As if the material wasn’t strong enough on its own, it’s also backed with a 100% waterproof laminate. The outer cover also includes double-stitched reinforced seams, further increasing the product’s durability.

Most indestructible dog beds are flat mattresses to avoid as much temptation to chew and scratch as possible. But the good thing is, that this allows your dog flexibility to sleep how they truly wish.

The hardwearing durable cover is not only resistant to damage but can also be removed if needed, to wash. It also ensures the inner is protected thanks to being waterproof, so not only can they not reach the inside but it won’t get damaged either.

There is a non-slip backing to make it suitable for all floors, and the Oxford fabric is also easy to spot clean. While no bed is 100% durable from the sharpest of teeth and most determined of pups, this one is pretty much all the way there.

Veehoo has a wide range of indestructible raised dog beds, each one designed with reinforced construction and with tough Textilene Mesh Fabric that’s scratch proof.

The sides have been secured with a rustless aluminium frame that protects the mat from being chewed into from the sides, and the corners are reinforced with dig-proof plating.

The mesh material is heavy-duty with the capacity to hold up to 150 pounds, and as it often is the case with mesh, the material is incredibly durable as well.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of this bed is the fact that it’s raised. Since raised beds are not resting on a hard surface and mesh has a natural stretch to it,  pressure doesn’t build on a dog’s joints, and thus no pain is caused – conditions that are related to sore joints are also prevented. Another wonderful benefit of raised beds is that they’re naturally cooling. Mesh is incredibly breathable, and since the bed is raised, there’s a constant flow of fresh air underneath the bed, so your pup can regulate their temperature and cool down if they need to.

So not only is the Veehoo bed sturdy and chew-proof, but it’s also comfortable and orthopaedic.

Much like the other Veehoo bed, this choice has the durable Textilene mesh and the powder-coated steel frame, but it also has the added benefit of the cushioned bolsters.

The removable bolsters are attached with elastic straps to keep them in place, and the bolsters are crafted with 500D oxford fabric and reinforced with eco-friendly PU Coating to ensure they’re heavy-duty and waterproof – as far as material for a dog bed goes, this is by far one of the toughest.

The bed is designed to carry large dogs like German Shepherds and Akitas with reinforced Tee Union corners, paw-shaped feet to prevent slipping and a powder-coating steel frame.

Thanks to the Textilene mesh, the bed is also heat-resistant so your dog can cool down and it has orthopaedic properties since the mesh suspends weight in the air rather than creating pressure against a hard surface. This prevents pain from occurring and joint-related conditions from happening.

One of the most durable and water-resistant materials around is oxford cotton; it’s why it’s often used for outdoor equipment and why it’s a great choice for an indestructible dog bed. Oxford fabric is scratch-resistant and designed to resist urine or saliva, but if it does need a clean, then the material is also conveniently machine washable.

As well as being durable and practical, the Bedsure mattress has been crafted with a dense 10 cm cushioning that’s made from premium microfiber, and thanks to the stitched chesterfield style, the filling stays in place, and the mattress will remain taut and in shape rather than sinking.

The shape of the bed also makes it an ideal dog crate bed as well.

If you’re looking for a summer bed that’s going to be heavy-duty yet will cool your pup down, then this bed may just be the answer.

This bed is made from organic cotton, which is one of the most breathable materials around. Cotton duck fabric is known for its rugged and durable properties, often being used for trainers and paint canvases, and so when it comes to your pesky little chewer, this bed will be able to take quite a bit of resistance. For even more protection, the bed is surrounded by a rigid cord, so there are no delicate seams to undo.

The premium micro-fibre cushioning is 13 cm thick, providing both support and comfort for your pup, helping them to settle easier. And with the chesterfield cushioning, the filling will stay taut and in place rather than going lumpy.

Ellie-Bo is a long-established pet brand that has been making dog beds for a while now, and if you’re looking for a tailor-made crate bed on a budget, then this may be perfect!

It’s made from a tough oxford weave that’s waterproof yet machine washable and is known for being incredibly durable, which is ideal for that pesky crate chewing.

To ensure your pup stays comfy in the crate, the bed is intelligently designed with a partitioned mattress that reduces movement of stuffing, and just in case any accidents do occur, the inner cover is waterproof as well.

While some have complained that the bed is not as robust after washing, this may well be because the waterproof coating has come off in the wash, and it may require the application of a waterproof coating in order to remain durable.

Little dogs can surprisingly be the toughest and the most destructive despite being half the size of their counterparts. Most indestructible dog beds are, as you’ve seen, large. Not this one.

It is available in X Large of course, but the fact it is also in Small stands out. It can be cleaned and is waterproof, and filled with stuffing. This makes it more comfortable for your dog versus beans, and softer, but also allows you to spot any wear and tear easier. Because of course, no bed will forever be indestructible.

The reason it isn’t higher up on our list is due to its lack of structure. Again, while there are so many sizes available, we’d still say it’s best for smaller dogs who are less likely to suffer from joint issues.
