Best Dog Beds UK
By Felipe Iglesias · Updated
A good dog bed keeps your pet comfortable and supports their joints as they age. We compared the best dog beds in the UK on comfort, durability and how easy they are to wash, with options for every size and budget.
At a glance
Silentnight Orthopaedic Memory Foam Dog Bed
Our top pick: a memory-foam base that supports joints, with a removable, machine-washable cover.
Pros
- Supportive memory foam
- Machine-washable cover
- Non-slip base
Cons
- Foam has a slight initial smell
- Not chew-proof
The Silentnight orthopaedic bed tops our list because it pairs genuine joint support with everyday practicality. The memory-foam base relieves pressure on older dogs' hips and elbows, making it the best dog bed for senior dogs we tested.
The cover unzips and goes straight in the machine, and the non-slip base keeps it in place on hard floors. It comes in several sizes to suit most breeds.
Scruffs Expedition Memory Foam Bolster Bed
A cosy bolster bed with raised sides for dogs that like to lean or curl up while they sleep.
Pros
- Comfy raised bolsters
- Water-resistant base
- Good value
Cons
- Bolsters flatten over time
- Runs slightly small
The Scruffs Expedition adds raised bolster sides that give dogs something to lean against, which anxious or curl-up sleepers love.
A water-resistant base protects against the odd accident and the whole thing is machine washable. It strikes a good balance between comfort and price for medium breeds.
Bunty Tough Waterproof Dog Bed
A hard-wearing waterproof bed that is the best budget pick for muddy paws and outdoor dogs.
Pros
- Fully waterproof
- Very affordable
- Hard-wearing fabric
Cons
- Less plush than foam beds
- Basic styling
The Bunty Tough is built for mucky, active dogs. The waterproof outer wipes clean in seconds and shrugs off mud, making it ideal for utility rooms and porches.
It is the most affordable bed in our list and the fabric resists scratching and digging better than most at this price.
PetFusion Ultimate Orthopaedic Dog Bed
A premium solid-foam bed with a water-resistant, tear-resistant cover — the best for large breeds.
Pros
- Solid foam keeps its shape
- Tear-resistant cover
- Great for big dogs
Cons
- Expensive
- Heavy to move
The PetFusion Ultimate is the premium choice, with a thick solid memory-foam base rather than chopped filling, so it keeps its shape under heavy dogs.
The cover is both water and tear resistant and removes for washing. It is the best dog bed for large breeds if your budget stretches to it.
Our verdict
For most dogs an orthopaedic foam bed offers the best long-term comfort, while a washable bolster bed is the easier everyday choice. Match the size to your dog and prioritise a removable, machine-washable cover.
