How to choose the best dog bed for your dog
A dog bed is an investment in the health and wellbeing of your four-legged friend. Dogs sleep an average of 12 to 14 hours a day, seniors even up to 18 hours. The right resting place prevents joint problems, provides a sense of security and gives your dog their own safe spot at home. Whether you are looking for a dog mattress, a dog sofa or a classic dog basket, at Bopets you will find dog beds for every dog. We work with the Belgian brand Fantail, known for stain-resistant fabrics and orthopaedic memory foam. But other brands and price ranges are also represented, from an affordable bed with raised edges to a luxury bed as a design piece, so you can always buy a dog bed that fits your budget.
What to look for when choosing a dog bed?
The most important criterion is size: measure your dog from nose to tail base and add 15 to 20 centimetres. This way your dog can stretch out without hanging over the edge. The material is also important: cotton or polyester covers are easy to wash, while leather and plastic beds are more resistant to scratching. Dogs with joint problems, older dogs or heavy breeds benefit from an orthopaedic dog bed with memory foam. This material distributes body weight evenly and relieves pressure on hips, shoulders and spine.
Measure your dog from nose to tail base while lying stretched out. Add 15–20 cm to the length so your dog can lie comfortably. In doubt? Always choose the larger size.
Does your dog like to curl up? Choose a bed with raised edges like the Fantail Snug. Does he stretch out? Then a dog cushion or mattress is a better fit.
Memory foam distributes pressure evenly and supports hips and shoulders. For large dogs and seniors, an orthopaedic dog bed is often not a luxury, but a smart investment.

Frequently asked questions over dog beds
What size dog bed does my dog need?
Measure your dog from nose to tail base and add 15–20 cm. A Labrador with a body length of 60 cm needs a bed of at least 75–80 cm internally. When in doubt, choose the larger size: your dog should be able to stretch out comfortably.
How often should I wash a dog bed?
Wash the cover at least once a month at 30 °C. For dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors or shed heavily, we recommend washing every two weeks. A washable dog bed with a removable cover makes this easy.
Does my dog need an orthopaedic dog bed?
An orthopaedic bed is recommended for older dogs, dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis or excess weight, and for large breeds that need extra joint support. The memory foam distributes weight evenly and relieves pressure points.
What is the difference between a dog bed and a dog cushion?
A dog bed has raised edges that provide a sense of security and head support. A dog cushion is flat, easy to move and ideal for dogs that like to stretch out. Many owners combine both: a bed as a permanent sleeping spot and a cushion as a second resting place.
What is the difference between a dog mattress, a dog sofa and a dog bed?
A dog bed has raised edges for a sense of security. A dog mattress is flat and offers maximum lying surface. A dog sofa combines a soft bed with a wooden or rattan frame as a luxury sleeping spot. All variants are suitable as a permanent resting place for your dog.
