Your dog doesn't like an uncomfortable mattress any more than you do. Having a good dog bed gives them a sleep spot that's all their own (well, unless the cat butts in) and might help keep them off the couch or your own bed. No promises there, but we've seen it work!
At the Good Housekeeping Institute our pet pros joined forces with the Textiles Lab — which gives expert advice on people bedding like mattresses, sheets and pillows — to find the best dog beds on the market. We know what makes a supportive, cozy bed (for humans or animals) and which materials are durable and even resistant to a dog that chews. Together, we tested more than two dozen beds, selecting the best from brands we know and trust. Each has unique features, tested well with consumer testers and received excellent online reviews from many happy customers.
Below, we list the price for a small dog bed. Prices for a medium, large or extra large version of any dog bed will cost more, and when you click on a retailer link you will see those options.
