From washable beds for mucky pups to orthopedic dog beds for extra comfort, we bring you a wide selection of dog beds for large dogs so that you can choose the best new snoozing spot for your pooch. Before we dive in, remember to take a careful look at the measurements of these dog beds, as although many brands advertise beds for extra-large dogs, sizes do vary.

The best dog beds for large dogs 

Furhaven L Chaise

We’ve decided this is the best dog bed for large dogs weighing up to 95 lbs that need a bit of extra space. The egg crate orthopedic foam base is topped with plush faux fur providing comfort for your pup’s pressure points and allowing their skin to breathe. The supportive bolsters are wrapped in suede creating a cozy nook for pups of all shapes and sizes to snuggle into (and we wouldn’t be surprised if pet parents and dog sitters join them!). 

Bedsure Large Orthopedic Foam Dog Bed

Do you come home to find muddy paw marks and suspicious sprinklings of fur on your bed? It sounds like a (not so) mysterious case of the bed napper! You need the Bedsure dog bed, the next best thing to a human mattress, with egg crate foam providing quality comfort, a fleecy topper keeping pups snug in the winter, and a cooler backside which is ideal for summer. Pop it on top of an elevated dog bed, inside a crate, or in front of the fire, and if it starts looking (and smelling) a bit worse for wear, just remove the cover and pop it in the wash. 

Best washable dog beds for large dogs

PetFusion Ultimate Lounge Dog Bed

The ideal bed for mucky pups, this dog bed has a water-resistant, machine-washable cover and the memory foam base has a waterproof liner to protect your floors from any accidents. “What about size?” we hear you ask. We know big dogs need more room to stretch out but they also need extra support for all that floof. For this very reason, the large and extra-large sizes have a decadent four inches of memory foam, while the jumbo size has six. Your extra large dog won’t feel a thing through that!

Sustainable Molly Mutt Dog Bed Cover

This eco-friendly dog bed can be filled with old clothes, fabric, and cushions to provide your pooch with a cozy spot to rest their head and remind them of your smell.
