Why Choose a Calming Bed?
Big day, busy house, new sounds outside – there are a lot of reasons your dog might find it hard to relax. A calming bed creates a familiar nest that signals rest. The high sides and long-pile faux fur feel like a warm cuddle, which can lower arousal and help dogs drift off faster. For pet parents, it is a simple, everyday way to support wellbeing with no special training required.
What Makes Our Beds Different
- Australian-made: All of our calming beds are proudly made here in Australia.
- Lifetime materials and workmanship guarantee on our Australian-made range, so if a part is not up to scratch, we repair or replace it.
- Fully machine washable: covers, inserts and even fillings are designed to go in the wash. Many are tumble dryer friendly too.
- Replaceable parts: freshen up an older bed by replacing the cover instead of the whole bed. All parts are replaceable, and you can also top up filling or replace inserts as needed.
- Sustainable filling: our unique blend of recycled PET fibre and Australian-made foam offers lasting loft and comfort.
Types of Calming Dog Beds
- Round Fluffy Dog Bed: The classic donut style with high sides and faux fur lining. Encourages nesting and curling up, a favourite for anxious pets.
- Hugzzz™ Ortho Curl Up Cloud: All the softness of a round fluffy dog bed with added joint care. Filled with 100% Australian-made Hugzzz™ memory foam flakes for pressure relief.
- Snuggle Dog Bed: High sides and deep centres create a cocoon-like feel that calms puppies and adults alike.
- Plush Dog Bed with Memory Foam: For pets that need calming textures paired with support, our memory foam dog bed range brings both in one design.
Benefits of a Calming Bed
- Anxiety relief: Raised sides and soft fibres create a safe cocoon.
- Better sleep: Many dogs nap longer when they feel secure.
- Support: Cushioned bases ease pressure on elbows and hips.
- Warmth: Long-pile faux fur holds warmth for toy breeds and short coats.
- Easy care: Removable, washable covers help you keep things fresh.
A quick sizing tip
Measure nose to base of tail while your dog is in their regular sleeping position, then add a little extra room. Curlers love snug fits, while stretchers may need a size up.
Choosing the Right Shape and Feel
Think about how your dog sleeps. A snuggle bed for dogs suits pets that like to curl and feel tucked in. A higher-walled snuggle dog bed helps nervous dogs that enjoy more of a secure space. Dogs that run warm may prefer a shorter pile or a cooler spot in the house during summer. If mobility is a concern, look for beds with supportive bases or step-in designs that are easier on older joints.
You can also layer a cosy dog blanket for chilly nights. A familiar blanket brings scent comfort, which makes settling even easier at bedtime or when travelling.
Caring for Your Calming Bed
Shake out loose fur each day, then wash covers weekly, monthly or as needed. All of our calming beds feature zippered access and removable inserts, so you can wash or top up filling easily. Rotate the bed now and then so favourite spots keep their loft. If a cover looks tired, simply replace the cover and keep using the inner. It is a simple way to extend the life of your bed.
An Honest Word on Chewers
Long-pile calming fabrics are comforting, but they are not a match for a determined chewer. If your dog likes to nibble, supervise at first and redirect to a toy. For persistent chewers, consider starting naps on a tougher raised bed and using the calming bed for quiet time only.
