My two westies need a new bed for the kitchen (where they are meant to sleep). They have been sleeping on a largish cushion type bed for the past year but this has now given up the ghost, the cover has disintegrated & they need a new bed. Can anyone recommend a good type of dog bed to buy. It must be hard wearing, easy to keep clean & above all be dog comfortable. Thank you for your help.

Kuranda.com. Off the floor, orthopaedic.

Alternatively, a cheap TKMaxx effort like the one I found yesterday! No ticket on it and after many assistants to-ing and fro-ing, got it for £25:

Lucy,PippiLongstocking & Shirley Bassette highly reccomend a king size bed,with an electric blanket,wool duvet and a human clinging to the edge for a buffer zone.
 
I took my doggie to the local pets at home shop and let her pick her own bed :) Typically she picked the softest, fluffiest one- spoilt dog!
 
Tuffies get my vote 100%. Rosie has destroyed 4 or 5 beds in 9 months and is always coming in wet and muddy. Tuffies beds are a lot of money but well worth it, she hasn't even tried to chew hers. We got her the woven bed with wicking cover and it's great, I had a lie on it earlier- v comfy! So easy to wash- put the cover in the machine, and wash down the actual bed with soapy water, hose off and leave to dry for 45 mins.

The bed was £60, cover was £40. The cover is great and there is no longer that wet dog smell lingering in the kitchen like there were with other beds.

Absolutely fantastic beds, won't buy anything else now.
 
Another Tuffies vote. Expensive at the time but totally worth it-one of them will outlive several £25/30/40 dog beds and still look good. Fantastic support for bigger and older dogs too(no more flat,worn out bits and washed
lumpy bits). Hairs & mud drop off it and if it needs a wash,I take it to yard,squirt it with fairly liquid,scrub it with a bucket brush,hose to rinse and dries v quickly. Only done that 4 or 5 times in the 2/3 years I've had it!(And no,it doesn't really smell...) We have a rectangular flat one and a 'nest' one-they seem to prefer the nest but my sister's huge dog prefers the flat one,tho ours can lay out flat in the nest one too. They weigh a ton more than any other dog bed-v solid:).

Definitely agree with Tuffies beds - was recommended one on here after posting a similar thread. We have two - one nest and one flat for our two labs - they are brilliant. So glad I no longer have to wash manky bits of vet bed in the washing machine. :)
