Labradoodle Chewbacca from Seattle is happy with his DIVAN dog cushion.
We just got Pet Interiors bed for Chewbacca, our 14 months Australian Labradoodle. As soon as I placed it on the floor he wanted to try it and since then he hardly moves elsewhere. He brought his favorite bones and toys to the dog bed. It was not easy to find this perfect option. It complies with several wishes:
- Super comfortable: Orthopedic and the Italian felt is to die for
- Modern: it goes with the the furniture.
- Good details and quality: the stitch and the filling of the pillow is just right to make it for an elegant giant cushion.
- Excellent Service: As soon as I placed the order, I was contacted with next steps. The shipping to US was so easy.

The right dog cushion for a dog with a handicap
The joints of an amputee animal are exposed to much greater stress due to the missing leg and the joints can wear out more quickly. This is precisely why the correct and optimal lying position must be the most important criterion for choosing the best dog cushion for a handicapped dog.
Commercially available animal beds are usually made of foam with too low a density, leftover thin polyester fleece or polystyrene balls. As a rule, these dog cushions are much too thin and do not retain their shape sufficiently. This means that the dog is lying on the hard, cold floor within a short time. Especially for a handicapped animal, you need a dog cushion that offers precise support for the joints with the necessary point elasticity.
The pillow inserts from pet-interios are filled with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified quality latex flakes which have a very high density. The higher the density, the more stable, elastic and durable the filling is. The very high density of our orthopedic dog pillows also guarantees long-term stability; they remain permanently elastic, dimensionally stable and are therefore long-lasting and sustainable.
The excellent point elasticity of our latex filling optimally reflects the individual body shape of your dog and offers perfect relief and relaxation for the spine and joints. In addition, the latex offers very good springing and recovery properties when the lying position changes and the natural buoyancy of the latex filling provides excellent support for a three-legged dog to get up. The absolutely noise-free filling enables your pet to have a peaceful, restful sleep and ensures optimal relaxation and the necessary regeneration that a handicapped dog in particular needs.
Orthopedic dog cushion for a three-legged dog |Parson Russell Terrier – Lottie
Dog cushion for three-legged dog Lottie
Lottie’s owner wrote us the following enthusiastic email:
About a year ago I bought an orthopedic LOUNGE dog cushion for our three-legged dog Lottie, a Parson Russell Terrier. Lottie loves the dog bed and sleeps very well on it. The support the cushion offers is excellent. Now we want Lottie to sleep just as comfortably in the kitchen and have decided to buy another DIVAN dog cushion. It is a bit lower because Lottie sometimes has problems jumping onto the higher LOUNGE cushion.
The DIVAN Uno dog bed with a head cushion in graphite (80 x 65 cm) arrived this afternoon. Lottie, our Parson Russell Terrier who had to have a leg amputated a few years ago before we adopted him, sometimes has difficulty getting up if the cushion is too soft and springy. It is very important for Lottie to have soft but stable support for her body. And that is what she now has with this orthopedic dog cushion. Within half an hour she had made herself comfortable and she especially loves to bury her little nose under the pillow. It was very difficult to take a nice photo now! To prevent Lottie from rolling into the small gap between the window and the pillow, we closed it with a not so pretty roll.
Thank you for this other excellent dog bed. Our cat Job is already jealous, but she will soon get a nice cat pillow.

What makes a dog bed the best dog bed for my dog?
Firmly padded dog bed BLOOM, the best dog bed, even for anxious dogs.
The quality of the lying surface is the most important selection criterion for a dog bed.
Since dogs spend almost 80% of the day sleeping, dozing and resting, the sleeping surface of the dog bed is extremely important. It pays to provide an orthopedic lying surface (latex filling or viscoelastic foam) even for young dogs. Because even during growth it is important that the musculoskeletal system such as the spine is protected and the joints are relieved. An orthopedic lying surface in the dog bed leads to deeply relaxed sleep and optimal regeneration. Agile, healthy dogs also really appreciate a regenerative lying surface. And for older animals, or dogs that may already have joint wear, an orthopedic lying surface is almost a must. That is why pet-interiors only offers dog beds with an orthopedic lying surface.
The perfect shape is crucial for the best dog bed.
Dogs love to find support in their backs. A raised back gives the sleeping animal a feeling of protection and security. Your darling can snuggle up wonderfully and feel safe and secure. A high back also offers protection from drafts and prying eyes, for example with the ARENA or SIRO dog bed from pet-interiors.
The animals also love to rest their heads up high. This works well on a raised edge of the dog bed or with a special pillow. We offer these pillows in four different sizes at pet-interiors. So there should be something for every dog bed.
Whether the dog bed should be round, rectangular or square depends largely on the animal’s sleeping habits. If the dog prefers to sleep curled up, a round or square dog bed is recommended. For some dogs, the bed can never be small enough. They love to be held firmly on all sides and thus be able to sleep in a secure manner. For these animals, the BOOX or BLOOM dog bed from pet-interiors is recommended. These dog beds are padded so that the animals are held firmly, but still soft enough that it is not uncomfortable. This type of bed has proven to be very effective, especially for anxious dogs.
If the animal is a “late sleeper”, i.e. it prefers to sleep stretched out and needs a lot of space, it should be an elongated or rectangular sleeping place. In this case, it is advisable to make sure that your dog has enough space to stretch out properly so that the joints of its four legs are also supported. The ARENA and the BLOOM dog bed are suitable for these sleepers.
What size should the best dog bed be for my dog?
The optimal size of the dog bed is quite easy to determine. If your darling sleeps curled up on the carpet in front of you, you can measure all the way around and already have a good guideline. With this sleeping behavior, the lying area can be a little smaller than the measured area, so the dog is easily held up by the bed frame while sleeping.
If your dog prefers to sleep stretched out, then to determine the length of the dog bed, measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail and add 20 cm. For the width of the dog bed, measure the shoulder height and also add 20 cm. If you have the option of providing both bed variants, you will make your dog really happy. This way, he can choose the optimal place for a restful sleep depending on his needs and mood.
How important is it that the dog bed is easy to clean?
It is very important! Dogs and cats love to sleep in clean beds. You can tell just by the fact that whoever lies in our beds first knows that they have been freshly made up 🙂
Choose a dog bed with removable covers that can be machine washed and tumble dried. At pet-interiors we offer replacement covers for all of our products, which makes cleaning even easier. The latex pillows from pet-interiors can also be machine washed. This is not necessary very often, as the latex filling is mite-resistant. But if a small mishap does happen, it is easy to fix. In addition to the replacement covers, we also offer incontinence covers. These are recommended for very young dogs or seniors. This way you can keep the best dog bed appetizingly clean and it always remains pleasant for dogs and people’s noses.
How do I know if it is the best dog bed for my dog?
Quality simply has its price and if you buy cheap, you buy twice. There are quite a few of our customers who still use the first bed for their next dog. Usually, they just change the cover. The latex filling is simply indestructible and the comfort is excellent even after years. And the good thing about it is that from the very first hour, your darling will sleep on a high-quality dog bed that is gentle on the spine and joints.
It is best to pay attention to the features we have described here, then you can’t go wrong when choosing the best dog bed.
And if you see that your dog likes to go to his dog bed on his own, you can be absolutely sure that you have made the right choice.
