As pet owners, we sometimes concentrate on the best food or the longest walks, but we occasionally forget that our dogs sleep for 12 to 14 hours every day. A dog’s health is largely dependent on getting enough sleep. A dog’s bed serves as a tool for joint health, anxiety control, and temperature regulation in addition to being a place for them to relax.
In this LuluSpot guide, we’ll explore the science of pet sleep and help you through the process of finding the right furniture for your unique pup’s needs.
Why Your Dog’s Bed Choice Matters
Dogs sleep not just to ‘pass the time’; in fact, during sleep is when dogs’ bodies work on fixing tissues and processing memories.
• Orthopaedic Support: Dogs are prone to hip dysplasia and arthritis with age. On a hardwood floor, a thin mat can create points of unpleasant pressure.
• The “Den” Instinct: Dogs are den creatures by nature. When the home becomes too noisy, having a dedicated bed gives them a “safe zone” to retire to.
• Digestive Health: Beds aren’t the only factor! By altering the angle at which your dog feeds, furniture such as raised feeders helps to reduce gas and esophageal strain.
Choosing Based on Sleeping Style
Check your dog’s sleeping habits before making a purchase. Do they form a ball as they curl? Do they have a “superman”-like stretch?
| Sleeping Style | What it Means | Best Product Type |
| The Curler | looking for safety and warmth. | Bolstered or Plush Beds |
| The Sprawler | needs to stretch and control the temperature. | Large Crate Pads or Flat Beds |
| The Burrower | like feeling covered or hiding. | Soft Blankets & High-Wall Beds |
| The Senior Slumberer | Entry and exit must be simple. | Low-profile Orthopedic Pads |
The Lulu Spot Furniture Collection: A Deep Dive
From the active puppy years to the golden senior years, we’ve carefully chosen 11 important things that address every stage of a dog’s life.
Essential Crate Comfort
When the setting is welcoming, crate training is far more effective. Our crate-specific mattresses are made to precisely meet standard measurements.
- 24” Dog Crate Bed – Washable & Waterproof: This is the “gold standard” for puppies. The waterproof layer ensures that accidents don’t ruin the foam, and the 24″ size is perfect for small breeds.
- 30″ Crate Beds: An excellent mid-sized choice that strikes a balance between durability and comfort.
- 36″ Crate Beds: This bed gives bigger breeds the surface area they need to avoid resting against the chilly metal bars of a box.
- Crate Beds for Dogs: An adaptable, daily choice for any typical enclosure.
Luxury & Anxiety Relief
These items are perfect if your dog like a little “glamour” or wants additional soft textures to help them relax.
- Luxurious Pet Bed for Dogs & Cats: Pets who like “nesting” love this bed because of its ultra-soft luxurious feel.
- Pet Bed (Med.): A dependable option that strikes a mix between softness and structural stability for medium-sized dogs.
- Pet Bed [Small]: This is especially made for puppy comfort, measuring 18 x 14 x 7 inches, with high walls that give them a sense of security.
- Calming Snuggle Blanket for Dogs & Cats (32” x 22”): A bed isn’t always sufficient. Your dog’s favorite location on the couch gains a layer of “calm” from this blanket.
Therapeutic & Specialized Furniture
Owners who care about their pet’s health are aware that the proper setting can save future veterinary appointments.
- Farm Innovators Heating Pads: These are essential for dogs in colder areas or those with tight, achy joints since they are thermostatically regulated.
- Elevated Wooden Dog Bowl Stand (Dark Brown): A dog’s neck alignment is much improved by lowering the distance they must bend when the food dish is raised.
- Elevated Dog Bowls with Wooden Stand (Charcoal Grey): provides the same ergonomic advantages in a sleek, contemporary charcoal finish to complement the design of your house.
Maintenance Tips for a Healthy Home
Without any “pro-tips” for maintaining the best possible condition of your new furniture, an instruction booklet wouldn’t be complete:
- Vacuum Weekly: Pet hair and dander may build up on a bed even if it doesn’t appear unclean, which could irritate a dog’s skin.
- Rotate the Bed: Rotating your dog’s bed every few months can help avoid “sagging” in the middle, just like with a human mattress.
- Check for Wear: Examine the seams every several months. Make sure no stuffing is being discharged if your dog is a “chewer,” since this might be a choking hazard.
Final thoughts
Investing in high-quality bedding and furnishings will help your dog live a long life. Whether it’s the ergonomic convenience of an Elevated Dog Bowl Stand or the waterproof security of a Crate Bed, your dog will notice the difference every morning.
