Frequently asked questions about dog beds
Many dogs love to rest with their heads elevated – this allows them to relax while keeping an eye on their surroundings. A dog cushion not only provides comfort but also ergonomic support for the neck and spine. The Schmusehörnchen adapts perfectly to the shape of the body and additionally provides a sense of security.
The ideal dog cushion adapts to your four-legged friend’s sleeping habits. Dogs that like to snuggle up or rest their heads benefit from especially soft, cozy cushions like our Schmusehörnchen. Flat dog cushions are perfect for dogs that like to stretch out, as they provide plenty of freedom of movement. Make sure the cushion is large enough for your dog to lie comfortably in its favorite position.
A dog cushion is flexible, lightweight, and ideal for dogs that often change places or need a cozy place to rest while on the go. Unlike dog beds, it has no fixed edge but adapts to the dog's lying position. Dog beds, on the other hand, are suitable for four-legged friends seeking support and security.
The right size is important so that your dog can lie down comfortably. A tried-and-tested rule is to measure your dog lying fully stretched out on its side and add around 10–15 cm of extra space so the bed fits perfectly. We offer dog cushions in various sizes, suitable for small, medium-sized, and large dogs. For especially large dogs, we also offer XL versions and other variants of our bestselling products, so there is a suitable dog bed for every pet and every owner.
Yes, all our dog beds are designed so that you can clean them quickly and easily. Thanks to an integrated zipper, the covers can be removed and cleaned particularly easily. Most of them are machine-washable. Many models are also suitable for tumble drying. For a quick clean, you can simply vacuum or shake out the beds. Especially practical for allergy sufferers or dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors.
The cuddle bolster is a popular alternative to the classic basket and is especially suitable for dogs that like to lean, snuggle up, or need support—for example, due to insecurity, old age, or joint problems. Its curved shape provides a sense of security, a comfortable headrest, and back support, making it an excellent lounging and sleeping place for dogs. It is also a popular choice for use on the go in the car.
Yes! The Schmusehörnchen is particularly well suited for transporting in the car thanks to its compact, curved shape. It provides safety and comfort when traveling or on the go—and your dog always has its familiar sleeping place with it.
We recommend cleaning the dog cushion every 1–2 weeks, depending on use. For loose hair, vacuuming or shaking it out is usually sufficient. Many of our products feature a convenient zipper, allowing you to easily remove the cover and clean it separately. For heavier soiling, you can simply wash most covers in the washing machine at 30 °C.
Dog Cushions – The Perfect Sleeping Space for Your Four-Legged Friend
A dog cushion is not just an ordinary place to lie down – it is the perfect retreat for dogs who love to rest their heads, lean against something, or simply cuddle. Whether as a soft pillow, cuddle cushion, or little cuddling companion, at SABRO you will find cushions specially developed to meet dogs’ needs.
Our dog cushions, such as the cuddle horn or cuddly bones, are ideal for cuddling, playing, and relaxing. They support your dog’s head, provide a sense of security, and make their sleeping area even cozier – whether in a dog bed, on the sofa, or in the car while travelling.
For Dogs Who Love Comfort
Dogs sleep up to 20 hours a day. That is why a comfortable sleeping space is particularly important. A bed becomes especially cozy with cushions and blankets. Dogs see it much the same way. Snuggling up to a cushion is incredibly relaxing.
Just like us humans, dogs love to rest their heads, lean against something, or snuggle into a cushion. Whether as a pillow, cuddle horn, or classic lounging cushion, our SABRO cushions provide comfort and a sense of security. They can be used flexibly – in a dog bed, on the sofa, or directly on the floor – and adapt perfectly to your dog’s sleeping habits.
Cuddle Cushions & Pillows – For Security and Closeness
Our pillows and cuddle cushions are ideal for dogs who love to curl up or enjoy a soft place to rest their heads. They are the perfect addition to a dog bed – or a small retreat on the sofa, in a basket, or while travelling.
Cuddle Horn – A Special Shape for Special Dogs
Our SABRO-designed cuddle horn is a curved dog cushion that fits snugly around your four-legged friend’s body. The cuddle horn is the modern version of a classic neck pillow and provides your dog with ultimate comfort. It offers supportive head cushioning, creates a sense of security, and simulates a protective edge – ideal for dogs who love to lean against something and snuggle up.
Thanks to its curved shape, the dog cushion is also perfect as back support. Particularly sensitive or older dogs feel safer and more relaxed with it. For anxious dogs, the cushion provides protection and reassurance, transforming their sleeping area into a true oasis of well-being.
Available in two sizes, with a water-repellent inner cover and easy-care materials, the cuddle horn impresses with its combination of high-quality fabrics and premium filling. The practical zipper makes it easy to remove and clean the cover. Combined with dog mats such as our JOKKMOKK lying mat, it creates a cozy retreat your dog can snuggle up against – almost like a cozy nest. The cuddle horn is also the perfect addition when travelling, in the car, or on holiday.
Dog Cushions for Playing and Cuddling
Alongside our specially developed cuddle horns and functional lounging cushions, SABRO also offers lovingly designed cushions that are perfect for playing, cuddling, and decorating.
The corduroy cuddly bones are true all-rounders: your dog can use them as a soft pillow, a toy, or simply as a loyal cuddling companion for cozy hours. Their soft, supple surfaces and gentle filling make them particularly pleasant for sensitive snouts and short rest breaks in between.
For the festive seasons, we regularly offer limited-edition, cuddly accessories that not only delight your dog but also add a charming touch to your home. Whether used as a headrest, decorative highlight, or small play cushion for in-between moments, they are versatile and make your dog’s sleeping area an especially attractive focal point.
All these cushions are made from high-quality, allergy-friendly materials and are robust enough to withstand short play sessions – perfect for dogs who love to snuggle up or play with soft objects.
Lounging Cushions – Flexible Sleeping Spaces for Your Dog
In addition to our cuddle cushions and pillows, we also offer classic lounging cushions as complete, soft sleeping spaces for dogs. They are ideal for dogs who like to lie freely or need plenty of room to stretch out.
FLUFFA – The Dog Bed That Feels Like a Cloud
The FLUFFA dog bed is the epitome of coziness. With its particularly soft, voluminous filling and cuddly cover, it feels like lying on clouds.

Turn your dog’s favorite spot into a true oasis of well-being! When buying, you should consider your pet’s individual needs as well as other important factors such as size, fabrics, and suitability as a dog sleeping space.

Dog Bed or Lounging Cushion – Which Is Better for Your Dog?
The choice between a dog bed and a lounging cushion often depends on your dog’s individual preferences and personal needs. While a classic dog bed with raised sides and a firm structure provides a great deal of security and comfort, a dog cushion stands out for its flexibility and space-saving design – ideal if you travel frequently or your dog likes to change sleeping spots.
For dogs who like to lean against something or need additional support and stability, dog beds with soft sides and a sturdy shape are a good choice. They provide not only comfortable back support but also a feeling of protection. The soft, spacious lying surface adapts perfectly to the dog’s body and ensures restful sleep. Lounging cushions, on the other hand, are excellent for dogs who love lying on something soft and snuggling up.
The material also plays an important role: whether cuddly plush, robust faux leather, or easy-care polyester, there is a wide range of fabrics and materials to choose from. Make sure the cover meets your dog’s needs and is easy to clean. The right size and shape of the sleeping space ensure that your dog feels completely comfortable. Many dogs prefer certain fabrics or shapes, so it is worth trying out different options.
Last but not least, your dog’s health should also be taken into account. For older dogs or animals with sensitive joints, an orthopedic dog bed or a particularly well-padded dog cushion is recommended. In our online shop, you will find a wide selection of dog beds and dog cushions in different sizes, colors, and materials, allowing you to choose the perfect sleeping space for your beloved pet according to your preferences and needs.
Ultimately, your dog decides which product they like best. Observe how they respond to different sleeping spaces to find out whether a dog bed or dog cushion suits them better. This way, you can give your four-legged friend a sleeping space that is not only comfortable but also perfectly suited to your wishes.
Why a SABRO Dog Cushion Is Worthwhile
Our dog cushions can be combined perfectly with a dog bed, dog basket, basket, or dog baskets – and they can completely replace these options if your dog prefers to lie freely. They are versatile and enhance your beloved pet’s sleeping area.
The covers are easy to remove, feature a practical zipper for simple cleaning, and are available in various colors and sizes – matching your interior and your dog’s stage of life.
Our cushions are also suitable for travelling: in the car, on holiday, or on day trips, they provide your four-legged friend with a familiar retreat.
