The
Best Dog Snuggle Bed
Choices
The best dog
snuggle bed is a private, clean place where
your dog can
feel comfortable and
relaxed. And for each dog and proud
owner that will mean something different.
In order to choose
the right dog bed, you must consider:
Dog beds from your dog’s
perspective
Dog beds from your perspective
After taking both perspectives into account (don’t worry,
we’ll help), you can move on to our recommended
dog beds by type.
Not all dog snuggle bed types that we review are organic or
natural like this one due
to the nature of some of the types (therapeutic beds, for example).
But
when possible, choose beds with natural materials, including cotton,
feathers, wool or kapok.
Dog
Snuggle Bed Considerations from Your Dog's
Perspective
Dogs are the single most diverse mammal species on the planet, and
their sleeping spot should match their type. We’ll
get into the details of each kind of bed further down the
page. But first, look at sleeping through your dog’s eyes…
- Do they really need the king size or is a
smaller bed more appropriate?
- Do they like to curl up, or are they more of a
sprawler? High wall, bolster or deep beds will make they feel
warm and cozy while the good old-fashioned mats, pads or mattresses
give them a lot of room.
- How do they act? If biting and
digging is in their nature, you may want to steer towards the chew
resistant material.
If they have
trouble getting around, they will probably need a bed that’s close to
the ground. You may even need to go one step further and take
the therapeutic heated or orthopedic route.

Dog
Snuggle Bed Considerations from Your
Perspective
While your dog's comfort should come first when choosing a bed, there
are several factors to consider after finding the right type...
Budget
– how much money are you willing to spend?
Like anything else, you get what you pay for when buying a dog
bed. Prices range anywhere from $20 to hundreds of dollars,
which usually correlates with the bed’s material, construction quality
and novelty or customization.
The most common materials used in dog beds are:
- Cotton,
or better yet, organic cotton which has been grown pesticide-free and
in richer soil that is not overused or depleted of its minerals.
- Polyfil
varies in quality from high-end high-loft fibers to basic
store-bought. Different types are available, including
cedar-scented and fibers made from recycled materials.
- Baffled
Polyfil beds are made up of interlocking poly-filled
tubes. The support in these beds tend to remain more uniform than
regular polyfil.
- Foam
provides solid support with depth and durability. There are both
standard and orthopedic foams, and they are usually the best choice for
older or arthritic dogs.
- Kapok
Fiber is hygienic, hypoallergenic, odorless and
breathable. As a result of being naturally resistant to mold and decay,
no pesticides are used in its production.
The complexity of construction also directly affects price.
Standard pads and mats will be less expensive than those dog beds with
more intricate or durable design.

Lifestyle
Where do you keep your dog bed and how much room do you have?
Would a corner bed make sense or does your dog have a big enough space
to support any kind of bed?
Do you travel with your dog? If so, you will either want to
buy two beds or do your best to balance portability along with comfort.
Style
preference
There are countless styles of dog snuggle beds out there, from
patterned to personalized to boutique. From your basic dog
mat to a four-post bed, you name it and it’s probably out there.
