Dog bed shapes

Dog Bed Shapes: Which One Is Best for My Dog?

Choosing the right dog bed can be confusing as there are so many different types of dog beds on the market, however one of the most important decisions to make when choosing your dog bed is to choose the shape of dog bed. If you take a look at your dog's sleeping habits, you will realise that your dog will always try and find a comfortable position in their bed before resting or going to sleep.

Dog beds can be round, square, rectangular and there are also a wide range of beds to choose from that are designed in the shape of a sofa. The easiest way to figure out which dog bed shape is best for your dog is to look at his sleeping habits. Each pup is different from all others and while some love to stretch when sleeping, others will simply curl up next to you and try to find a comfortable position. Another main difference between dogs is that some like to feel warm when sleeping while others prefer a cooler environment.

Shapes for Dog Beds

Round Dog bed
Does your dog like to curl up when it rests? The round dog bed is the ideal shape for "curlers" and gives them the most comfort. Round dog beds can also be in the form of donut dog beds.

Rectangular or Square dog beds
If your dog likes or needs to rest stretched out, then a rectangular dog bed offers the most comfort.
Rectangular dog beds also give superior comfort to older dogs with stiff joints, arthritis, or fusing bones. Rectangular dog beds are very common but there are also square dog beds.

Bolster Beds
If your dog prefers the couch, it will love the bolster dog bed. Your dog gets the same sense of comfort, security, and safety it seeks on the couch when it rests its head on the bolster or cuddles against it for support. And it saves your couch wear and tear.  A bolster dog bed is designed to give your dog extra support, usually the bolster is separated from the base of the bed or bottom pillow.  A lot of bolster dog beds are made from comfortable foam which helps supports your dogs weight against it.
