Cooling Orthopedic Dog Bed with Egg Crate Foam

A Cooling Orthopedic Dog Bed That Does Not Trap His Heat

This cooling orthopedic dog bed pairs a cool-touch cover with egg crate orthopedic foam, so an older or heavier dog gets joint support without the heat build-up that sends him off the bed and onto the tiles by midnight.

Cool on Top, Support Underneath

• Cool-touch cover: a woven cool-touch fabric with a Q-Max rating, the measure of how much heat a fabric pulls off skin on first contact.
• Egg crate foam: peaks take his weight off the hips and elbows, valleys leave channels for air to move.
• Moderate firmness: firm enough that a heavy dog does not bottom out, soft enough that it is not a board.
• Completely flat: no bolsters to climb over, so stiff hips get on and off it easily.
• Cover unzips: the whole cover goes in the machine and the foam stays out of the wash.

The Cover Feels Cold When He Lies Down

Higher on the Q-Max scale means colder to the touch, and this cover rates well above the ordinary pet fabric it is compared with in the gallery. There is no gel and no water, so nothing to refill or freeze.

Egg Crate Foam, Not a Flat Slab

A solid block of memory foam holds warmth against a dog for as long as he lies on it. The molded peaks and valleys spread his weight the same way but leave air channels running through the middle of the bed.

It Is Flat, So It Goes Where He Already Sleeps

No raised sides means it drops into a crate, slides under a coffee table, sits in the trunk of the car or goes on the sofa. Dogs that refuse a walled bed will still use a flat pad.

The Cover Comes Off

Unzip it and the whole cover goes in the machine, which matters more with an older dog than with any other kind.

Size

Five sizes. Measure him lying stretched out on his side rather than curled, and check that against the size guide in the gallery. A dog that only fits curled up will hang a leg over the edge and end up back on the floor, so if his weight falls between two sizes take the larger one.

Let Him Sleep the Whole Night in His Own Bed
