Best Large Dog Beds for 2022

While there are tons of great dog beds on the market, very few cater to really large dogs. Yet big dogs spend just as much time in bed as little ones, and if anything, the right bed is more important because the hips and joints of a large dog are more prone to pressure and problems.

Here at Petz, we think your canine friend deserves the best they can get regardless of breed or size, so we’ve compiled a list of the best large dog beds available on the market right now.

We searched high and low to find the kind of beds designed to meet larger dogs’ needs ranging from Labradors and German Shepherds to Great Danes and Newfoundlands.

So let’s kick off with our top choices!

    The Top Large Dog Beds Reviewed

    Made Kysler Dog Bed

    More often than not, an XL dog bed means you have to compromise on pretty and luxury, but this pink velvet bed from Kysler makes it possible to have it all.

    Besides, is there anything more luxe than velvet? Only the best for your pooch, after all! It’s elegant and stylish with the dusty pink colour while being cosy with a thick padded cushion, bolstered sides and velvet material that’s soft to the touch.

    For convenience, it’s super easy to clean, being machine washable, and if pink isn’t your colour, you’ll be happy to know that the Kysler bed also comes in seven other colours.

    Pets at Home Teddy Dog Oval Bed XX Large

    This extra extra large dog sofa is faux suede and is lined with a super soft microberber, so not only does it provide plenty of comfort and luxuriousness but also practicality.

    Just wipe it clean after you’ve been for your muddy walk, or put it in the washing machine if it needs a thorough deodorising. The raised edges are perfect for a dog who likes to feel a little bit more enclosed due to either nerves, draughts or comfort. It is rare to find a large bed that isn’t open, so this makes this model even more appealing.

    3.
    Topology Elevated Customisable Dog Bed

    With a premium memory foam mattress, customisable details, and an elevated design, there really is a lot to love about this bed.

    The size alone would make this bed impressive with a length of 105.5 cm and a width of 71.5 cm, but the real jewel of the bed is that you can personalise the bed toppers and the bed feet. So whether you want a beanbag top with hairpin legs or a sheepskin topper with brass feet, you can customise it entirely to suit your preferences.

    Plus, a large elevated bed will create better airflow helping your pooch to regulate their temperature better and ensure they feel as comfortable as possible.

    The premium memory foam mattress moulds around your dog’s body and is encased in a grey waterproof cover for added convenience, while the toppers are all machine washable for ease of cleaning.

    Features

    • Elevated bed design creates more airflow and better hygiene
    • Memory foam supports dogs joints and muscles

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: XL -105.5 x 71. 5 x 15 cm
    • Colour: Dove Grey Bed with different coloured toppers to choose from
    • Material: 100% Polyester cover, waterproof TPU insert cover, and Memory Foam. (Multiple toppers with different matieral compositions)

    Omlet Memory Foam Dog Bed

    There are few things better than a bolstered dog bed when it comes to comfort, and this one takes plush cushioning to a new level. The memory foam mattress and filled sides are 26.5 cm deep, creating comfort that your pup can just sink into with full support of their joints and muscles.

    But the best bit? You can personalise your dog’s bed with a choice of 15 different colours in a stylish geometric weave and choose the feet on the bed as well!

    The result? A bed that provides complete comfort for your buddy and one that will match any interior.

    Features

    • high performance memory foam

    Specifications

    Terri Teepee Dog Bed

    If you thought teepees were just a glamping trend for humans, you were wrong. Pet teepees are incredibly popular right now, and it’s not difficult to understand why. They’re fun, adorable, and super cosy, making them ideal for giving your furry friend some privacy.

    This teepee from Terri has a classic nordic design with its grey exterior, wooden poles and sheepskin-styled cushioning. The padded cushion inside is made from reversible sherpa and is machine washable for easy cleaning.

    The only downsides are that your children may want one for their own, and even though the size is large, we think it may only be suitable for Border Collies and Labradors.

    Features

    • Chic and unique design
    • Great reviews

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: L - 110 x 90 x 78 cm
    • Dove grey, mustard yellow cushion
    • Material: Pine, felt, sherpa

    6.
    KOPEKS Orthopaedic Memory Foam Dog Bed

    While there are bigger orthopaedic dog beds on the market, this one stands out from the crowd simply because of the quality of the memory foam. At 7 inches thick, the Kopex Dog Bed is high grade and provides the level of thickness that you want for complete joint support. In addition, the premium memory foam is hypo-allergenic, and the bed also benefits from a 3” thick headrest.

    It isn’t made from egg crate foam or other orthopaedic non-memory foams but rather from a therapeutic foam found in high-end mattress stores.

    There’s double layer protection with an interior waterproof cover as well.

    Features

    • Non-slip bottom with rubber bits to ensure it stays put
    • Great for pets with arthritis or joint and muscle issues

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: 88.9 x 25.4 x 25.4 cm
    • Colour: Grey, chocolate brown, brown plush
    • Material: Memory foam, suede

    7.
    KosiPet XXL Dog Bed

    At 150 cm long and 90 cm wide, the XL KosiPet dog bed is large enough, but if you still need extra space, they also have a super king-size as well, although, for a point of reference, the large is huge for a labrador.

    The size range for this bed is especially great for the Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds and St Bernards, and since the pocket sprung memory foam mattress is 15cm thick, you won’t need to worry about it sinking either.

    There’s a choice of 22 mattress covers which is pretty much unheard of and provides massive flexibility for choosing the right one. However, the only downside is that some customers have complained that hairs stick to the covers quite easily. So while there is a great amount of choice, it may well be a good idea to buy a blanket to go on top of the bed anyway.

     

    Features

    • Mattress encased in a waterproof lining
    • One of the few beds that accommodate for XXL large dogs

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: XL - 150 x 90 x 15cm - Superking Size Available
    • Colour: Choice of 22 colours/styles

    The Bliss Bolster Bed By Charley Chau

    Luxury large dog beds are often hard to come by; that’s why we love this bolster dog bed by luxury dog bedding designers Charley Chau with the beautiful colour choice, the deep cushioning and the luxe finish.

    For over a decade, Charley Chau has been experimenting with bolster beds to craft perfection, and the Bliss Bolster is the best one yet.

    The bolster nests are made up of four different kinds of duck feathers ethically sourced in Germany, while the base of the bed is Charley Chau’s deep-filled luxury mattress made with hollowfibre and constructed like a sofa seat cushion to ensure that it stays soft and supportive over time.

    And to ensure the bed is soft to the touch with a luxe finish, the bed is finished in Faroe, a beautiful upholstery fabric that has the look and feel of soft upholstery wool but is tough enough for heavy commercial upholstery use with a Martindale Score of 100,000.

    Features

    • Everything is machine washable, right down to the duck feather pads in the bolster nest.
    • Waterproof bed liner available

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: 130 x 105 cm
    • Colour: Multiple
    • Material: Faroe

    9.
    Pet Fusion Ultimate Jumbo Bed

    Another one that caters to the seriously large breeds is the Pet Fusion Ultimate Jumbo bed. It’s 127 cm long and 102 cm wide with a 15 cm solid foam mattress.

    As well as the deep mattress, the bed also has support bolsters that are generously filled with recycled green polyfill for added comfort.

    And for added ease of cleaning, the removable cover is machine washable and is made from a material that’s easy to spot clean.

    Perhaps the best thing about this bed is that it can be used outdoors as well since the cover is made from water-resistant polyester, and the mattress has waterproof lining too, so if you’re looking for a versatile bed that your pup can enjoy in the garden as well as the home; then this is an ideal choice.

     

    Features

    • Easy Assembly with bolsters (couch arms) pre-loaded in the fabric cover
    • 12-month warranty on any part that is broken due to manufacturer defect

    Specifications

    • Dimensions: XXL- 127 x 101.6 x 33 cm
    • Colour: Chocolate brown, sandstone, slate grey
    • Material: Polyester, Memory Foam, Cotton

    The Chester Collection has been produced using a rich chenille fabric to upholster the outer of each bed, and this box bed has been lined with super-soft short pile plush and trimmed with faux-suede piping. This, combined with the super plush cushioning, makes for an incredibly comfortable bed.

    As with most Scruffs beds, the Chester collection is also machine washable and has a non-slip base.

    Features

    • Luxurious look and feel
    • A one-piece construction provides greater support and enhanced durability during washing

    Buying Guide

    How we chose the best large dog beds

    With so much choice on the market, it can feel a bit like a minefield trying to decide which bed is right for your pup. However, it’s important to know what to look for when choosing a bed, so you have a clearer idea in mind when scouring the internet. So we’ve summarised a list of things to consider when on your search.

    All good dog beds will have three things in common: thickness, support/comfort and practicality.

    Thickness

    Any thick bed is a good sign that it will be comfortable for your pooch simply because it has multiple layers to support them. When a bed is thick, it’s usually been filled with memory foam, comfort foam, support foam and polyfill. These things will provide either comfort or support, and having different layers is a good sign that the bed has been designed to achieve both.

    Support/Comfort

    For a bed to be good, it needs both comfort and support. Memory foam is great for comfort since your dog’s body will just sink into it (it’s especially good for seniors(, but a bed also needs structured support for those joints as well, so a bed that has a layer of memory foam and support foam that provides a layer of firmness.

    Practicality

    Dog beds naturally get dirty, and if you have a bed that’s difficult to clean, you’re probably going to be throwing it out sooner than you’d like. So look for a bed that has water-resistant material, waterproof underlining and one that is definitely machine washable.

    Material

    Material is naturally one of the most important factors for choosing your dog bed, so knowing what features you want is important.

    Filling

    Polyfil – Polyfill is a cheaper alternative to memory foam, but it doesn’t provide as much comfort because it doesn’t bounce back after the weight has been lifted. If a bed is filled with a thin layer of polyfill, then you may find a permanent dip occurs in the centre of the bed. However, this can be rectified by the bed being overstuffed to about 6 inches, which will provide enough comfort and support.

    Memory foam – When it comes to beds, you’d have to be living in a cave to have not heard of memory foam, and that’s because it’s so effective in relieving pressure on the joints and providing comfort. We always recommend memory foam for a dog bed, and while it’s not the only option for comfort, it’s a fail-safe choice that you can count on, and naturally, the thicker, the better.

    Cover Material

    As long as the cover is machine washable, you can’t really go wrong; however, there are a few things worth considering.

    If you have a senior dog that struggles with incontinence, then it may be a good idea to prioritise water-resistant materials just as polyester and nylon. While they’re not as cosy as furs, they will protect the inner lining and mattress better.

    Faux fur and sherpa are great options because they’re more reflective of dog fur, and to many dogs, this can be comforting. They can cover hair shedding better, they’re also super cosy, and they’re also really nice style-wise. The only downside is they’re not very water-resistant, and they can get pretty warm in the summer. Consider using a waterproof inner cover lining and wash the cover once a month.

    Size

    Before looking at bed sizes, it’s important to measure the length and width of your dog first. The best way to do that is to measure the distance from your dog’s nose to the base of its tail; this is obviously the maximum length that they could stretch out, so it’s best to be on the safe side to provide your dog with the most space. It’s also important to check that you have space for an XL dog bed since some of them are over a meter in length.

    Other Buyers Ask...

    How do I clean a large dog bed?

    Unless specified otherwise, most dog beds can be machine washed at 30 degrees and hung out to dry. If your dog bed doesn’t have a removable cover, then firstly hoover the bed, and soak it in the bath with a gentle laundry detergent or spot clean stains with an enzyme cleaner that’s designed to break down deep-set stains. If you do have a bed that isn’t machine washable, then it may be a good idea to put a few easy-clean blankets on top.

    Where can I buy a large dog bed?

    For your medium to large dog beds, you can usually get a fantastic range of choices at mainstream online stores like Pets At Home, Made and Zooplus. However, for the jumbo-sized bed, Amazon is the best choice. Omlet’s specially designed beds are perhaps the beds that have had the most thought gone into them, and Omlet is certainly the place that we’d recommend browsing for a quality dog bed.

    The Casper dog bed is popular as well as the Kong and the Big Barker dog bed; however, these beds are only available from the US, so you may have to pay a large import fee.

    What is classed as a large dog?

    Any dog over 50 pounds is considered a large dog, and anything over 90 pounds is considered a giant dog. Large to XL dogs can begin with  Labradors and Golden Retrievers, finishing with German Shepherds, Airdale Terriers, Dalmations, Dobermans, Rottweilers and Huskeys. So if you own anything like a Newfoundland, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, St Bernard, or a Great Pyrenese, then you’ve definitely got an XXL dog, and your dog bed choices are unfortunately going to be a little limited.
