Every time she is in the bed, she uses the outer cushion as a pillow," said our tester, who has a senior dog at home. "She apparently loves it." Applying a cooling element has been shown to help reduce inflammation in joints, according Countner, so an orthopedic bed with built-in cooling gel can provide an extra level of comfort for your aging dog. The Sealy Lux Orthopedic Dog Bed is made with memory foam and cooling gel to dissipate heat while your dog is resting. Your dog will feel pampered with a built-in headrest and memory foam designed to take the pressure off their joints and promote more restful sleep. If you have a dreamer that tends to drool, the water-resistant cover is easy to spot clean, but it can also be unzipped and laundered. "Anyone with a larger dog, this is one of the best beds I have come across!"

Orthopedic beds add an extra layer of support for dogs that have arthritis, achy joints, or mobility issues,” explains Dr. Tori Countner, DVM, owner of The Balanced Pet Vet. “Memory foam is ideal since it is a little firmer and prevents sagging so dogs can get up easier from their bed, and it gives extra support to joints." The bed makes use of memory foam to provide a medium firm feel and comprehensive support. The foam is CertiPUR-US certified, which means a third-party non-profit has verified that the foam used in PetFusion's construction does not contain mercury, lead, formaldehyde, or phthalates, and won't harm indoor air quality. The surrounding bolster is made with recycled polyfill—a little like a beanbag chair—so it will conform to your dog's shifting and snuggling. There are many reasons you may need a new replacement dog bed cover. The old bed cover may have been soiled, or chewed, or threadbare.

Orthopedic dog beds are designed to provide superior support to your dog’s joints, and to do this, they need to be made from high-quality materials. “Material such as memory foam helps support joints and limbs while laying down and provide stability when getting up from the beds,” explains Countner. “The bed should have a non-slip underside or should be placed on non-slip flooring to prevent instability when standing up.” For senior dogs who are crate-trained, the Milliard Orthopedic Dog Bed is perfectly proportioned to fit into their personal safe space. It’s made from supportive egg crate foam that is designed to provide orthopedic support for aging pooches. "This bed has great support for him," remarked our tester who has a 13-year-old doggo with hip dysplasia. "He can very comfortably lay down fully [and] stand up much more efficiently." The orthopedic egg-crate foam base is designed to relieve aching joints and pressure points, and the easy-to-clean, dual-tone cover is smooth yet durable. "The material the bed is made of is soft and the color is really rich and blends in well with our furniture."If your dog tends to gnaw on plush items, then this is the orthopedic dog bed for you. The cover is resistant to scratching, digging, chewing, and water. " The low profile and absence of bolsters will make it easier for smaller and older dogs to get in and out of the bed on their own. The orthopedic foam provides support and comfort, and the plush cover—which can be removed for cleaning, will make your dog feel cozy but not too warm. "The cover fabric is a soft, thin sherpa-type covering which was actually fine for summer."
