A flat mattress is not comfortable for you, and it will not be for your dog either. Consider the amount of loft and the type of materials in a dog bed before you purchase one. Be sure to keep comfort and support in mind when looking at the dog beds available. Dog beds can have a variety of fillings. Polyester fiberfill, a common filler type, is affordable and creates a significant amount of loft or fluff to a dog bed. However, it tends to flatten out over time and will clump when washed. More filling will need to be added when this happens to keep your dog comfortable!

Memory foam is also available in dog beds. It conforms to the shape of the dog and allows for a comfortable rest with some additional support. Orthopedic foam is often denser, but still soft. It makes a heavier bed that offers support for your dog and its joints.
