How to Choose a Dog Bed for You and Your Pet

Quick answer

Choose a shared dog bed based on your combined sleeping space, your dog's size and support needs, and your preferred materials. For most couples with a medium or large dog, a human dog bed like the Baker & Bray Cwtch offers the space and comfort you need.

Your decision rules for a shared dog bed

• Measure your space: Measure your bed area and your dog's sleeping length. Add 10-15 inches to your dog's length to find the minimum bed length. For two adults, ensure the width is at least the width of a full bed. Write down your measurements and take them with you when shopping.
• Consider your dog's support needs: If your dog is a senior, has joint issues, or is a large breed, choose a bed with high-density memory foam for orthopedic support. A structured surround can also help your dog feel secure. Check if your dog shows signs of stiffness when getting up; if so, prioritize support.
• Choose durable, washable materials: Dogs bring dirt, fur, and sometimes accidents. Pick a bed with a removable, washable cover and materials that resist scratching and chewing. Look for a bed with a zippered cover for easy cleaning.
• Think about your own comfort: You'll be sharing this bed, so consider your own sleeping preferences. If you need firm support, a high-density foam bed is a good choice. If you tend to overheat, look for breathable fabrics. Test the bed if possible, or read reviews from other couples with dogs.
• Set a budget: Shared dog beds are a premium product, so decide how much you're willing to spend. The Baker & Bray bed is priced at $364.99, which reflects its quality and size. Consider the bed as an investment in your bond and your dog's comfort.
