The Best Dog Beds
Looking for the best dog bed for your pup? After researching dozens of options, we selected 13 top models to test side-by-side. Our lifelong dog lovers asked their canine companions to get cozy, from naps in the sun to sleeping through the night. And because none of our dogs speak English (or Español, for that matter!), we got onto the beds ourselves, considering each model's support and comfort. We spent weeks testing the beds around our homes and even packed them into a Volkswagen Van while road-tripping across Colorado, assessing their durability. And finally, we cleaned — or attempted to clean — each bed. So, whether your dog loves fluffy bedding or a firm, supportive platform, we've found some great options for your best friend.
Our favorite dog bed overall is the Casper Dog Bed. This model offers firm support, scratch-proof material, and a modern design to blend in with your decor. For larger breeds, we recommend the Big Barker 7" Headrest Edition, which is designed specifically for the largest pups, offering the support they need. Dog owners looking for a good value might find the inexpensive and lightweight Bedsure Orthopedic Foam has what your furry friend needs.
Our research team also reviewed elevated dog beds, which are great for keeping your dog cool in summer or off the wet ground in damper months. We've also tested other pet accessories such as the top-ranked dog harnesses and dog clippers.
