The perfect place for your dog to sleep: how to find the perfect dog bed
Why a good dog bed is important
Imagine having to sleep on the hard floor every night - uncomfortable, right? It's the same for your dog if his sleeping area doesn't offer the necessary comfort. For a healthy sleep, your four-legged friend needs a high-quality sleeping place just as much as we need an optimal mattress. A high-quality dog bed that is tailored to the size and needs of your dog ensures optimum sleeping comfort and supports the spine.

Did you know that? - Professional knowledge for dog owners
Adult dogs sleep up to 18 hours a day, young dogs and seniors even sleep more than 20 hours. However, they spend a lot of this time dozing, only six to eight hours are actually spent in deep sleep. For each of these sleep phases, your furry friend needs a comfortable, safe place to sleep in order to rest optimally.
Dog bed, basket or cushion - what makes the difference?
There are many sleeping places for dogs. Round dog beds, square dog beds, dog baskets, cushions and others: some of them differ only slightly. The classic dog basket consists of a hard shell that is neither adaptable nor comfortable, even if the basket is padded with a dog cushion. Unlike baskets, dog beds are soft and padded.
Comfort and relaxation for healthy dog sleep
A comfortable dog bed is therefore essential so that your four-legged friend can relax and recover properly. SABRO dog beds are available in different versions, but they all have one thing in common: they offer optimum comfort for a restful deep sleep. Orthopaedic padding and ergonomic shapes adapt perfectly to your dog's sleeping position and ensure optimum pressure point distribution. This not only promotes sleep, but also the general health of your four-legged friend.
Robust and durable for everyday use
Our dog beds are made from high-quality fabrics that are particularly durable and robust. Whether it's a wild romp or a relaxed snooze - our beds can withstand everyday life and offer optimum sleeping comfort at the same time.
Easy to clean and hygienic
Cleanliness is particularly important for your dog's sleeping area. All fabric covers on our SABRO dog beds are removable and machine washable. Synthetic leather dog beds, vegan suede covers and protective covers (e.g. rubber cover) are not machine washable, but can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth - if necessary with mild cleaning agents such as our KUDDE special cleaner.
The mattress cores must also not be washed! If you do have a mishap, it helps to use an enzyme cleaner - simply spray on and leave to work, then allow the upholstery to dry thoroughly before putting the cover back on.
What size fits my dog?
- The right size of dog bed is crucial for your dog's well-being. He should be able to stretch out comfortably in the bed without having to rest his head on the edge or curl up. At SABRO, we offer suitable dog beds in various sizes for small to large dogs.
- Please note: a bed that is too small can be uncomfortable, while a bed that is too large may not provide enough security. Measure your dog carefully to choose the right size. If you are unsure, please use the size charts next to the product.
How do I choose the right material for my dog bed?
- For dogs with allergies: Hypoallergenic materials can help prevent irritation.
- For older dogs: Orthopaedic beds with memory foam (visco-foam) provide additional support and relief for dogs with joint problems.
- Easy to clean: Make sure that the dog bed is easy to clean so that it is always clean and hygienic. Covers made of artificial leather are usually suitable here.
How to care for and clean your dog beds properly
Regular care is important to ensure that your four-legged friend's dog bed stays fresh for a long time. Here are some care tips for your dog bed:
- Wash removable covers regularly: We offer a variety of washable fabric covers for our SABRO dog beds that can be easily cleaned in the washing machine. Wash them approximately every two weeks or as required to remove dirt and bacteria.
- Ventilate the inside: The upholstery of the bed can also be aired regularly to prevent odors and moisture. On a sunny day, simply spread it out outside.
- Remove stains immediately: If small accidents occur, remove stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent to avoid permanent damage or stains.
With these care tips, your dog's dog bed will stay clean and comfortable for a long time.
Our top selection criteria for dog beds
Before buying a dog bed, dog owners should pay attention to a few important factors and features to ensure that their dog sleeps optimally and receives the support it needs:
- Bed size: Choose a bed in which your dog has enough space to stretch out comfortably. SABRO offers a variety of sizes for small and large dogs.
- Choice of materials: The bed should be made of hard-wearing and easy-to-clean materials. For dogs that are sensitive or prone to allergies, SABRO offers hypoallergenic options. A washable cover can be an advantage here.
- Padding and support: Beds with extra padding or orthopaedic elements such as memory foam are ideal for dogs that need extra support, especially older dogs or dogs with joint problems.
- Shape: Although a round bed looks nice, it encourages your dog to curl up. Therefore, this shape is less suitable as a main sleeping place. The ideal dog bed has a rectangular shape that invites your dog to stretch out straight to relieve pressure on the spine.
- Location: Although this does not affect the dog bed itself, it still plays a decisive role. Dogs don't like to be isolated and prefer to be aware of everything that is happening around them. The ideal place is therefore one where your dog can rest, but at the same time has everything in view. Anxious dogs in particular need a safe place to retreat to.
