I had to shop for new dog beds recently because ours were DISGUSTING, likely because we don’t wipe our dog’s feet and we have construction outside (and they were vintage patchwork denim and the pups had been abusing them for 3 years). So after shopping for a while, annoyed at all the patterns I found out there, I found these that I love because where we have them in the house (both in the living room and here in the hallway where they sleep at night) are kinda prominent. So I wanted dog beds that look like nice looking floor pillows, or honestly just anything that wasn’t too ugly or basic.
I found these on Wayfair and they come in a bunch of colors (and includes the inserts). Our pups are medium – large (like not huge, but “medium” feels too small). The stuffed animal sloth (was Elliot’s) is Oscar’s current “baby du jour” – he LOVES taking care of a stuffy.
So far so great – the medium tones hide their hair and can be taken off and washed. The pattern is fun and they came in at $100 which isn’t cheap, but honestly I found almost none that were that I loved for this price (and once you get higher than $150 it feels like a lot when you need two). But there were a lot more that were contenders and I figured if I was in the market for non-ugly dog beds that maybe some of you would be, too. Here you go 🙂
This one is definitely bolder with its pattern but also pretty awesome. Love that the pattern orientation is different on the sides. So this one comes in four sizes, has five other colors to choose from and the biggest size clocks in at $87! Cute and pretty affordable.
This one is for sure more expensive (still under $200), so if you don’t have more than one dog, it may be more doable. I love the two-tone design and if this color isn’t great for your home or your pup’s fur color there are four other color options and don’t worry, it’s machine washable:)
Who doesn’t want a little corduroy in their home? This one is perfect if you aren’t a big pattern person but want a bed with a little fun texture. Aside from the green, it comes in two more colors (a camel option too for our light-colored dog friends), three sizes, is machine washable, AND water/stain-resistant. A solid pick for a super affordable price. The largest size is only $60!
Maybe you have a more colorful home or you want to add more color, this one is a great option. This photo makes it look green and pink, but it’s actually green and white (although a green and pale pink would be very fun in the right house). But if a color isn’t what you are looking for, it also comes in black and white, has two size options, is washable, water-resistant, and scratch-proof. So a lot of perks which is great since it’s about $180.
Now, this one is the most expensive on the list but my is it GOOD. A designer/pet owner’s dream and it’s reversible! I will say that if you have the budget to buy one of these, this is a company you can feel really good about buying from. It’s a queer led company that’s a certified B Corp, making all of their products ethically. The designs and craftsmanship are awesome. This one also comes in one other color, a happy coral and mint combo, and it’s washable.
Ugh, I love this color combo a lot. But if red and tan check is not a good fit for you, it comes in a ton of other patterns and four sizes. They also really focused on durability using a “dig-proof knit” as well as making it washable and non-slip. It’s on the higher price end at $189 (with mattress) but is more affordable if you already have a mattress and only need a cover.
Lastly, we have another great company doing good things for the world – in their case, they focus on sustainability. This plush bed comes in 5 other colors in this recycled velvet, but they also make the same style in hemp and a hemp blend. The colors are just a bit more limited with those. And because doing things in sustainable ways costs more (hopefully that won’t be the case forever!), this bed is also a bit pricy at $225.
Hope this helped any dog parents/design lovers and see you tomorrow for a very fun spring-themed post. xx
