Why the right dog bed is crucial for large dogs
Large dogs such as Labrador retrievers, German shepherds and St. Bernards often suffer from joint problems and overwork - which is why they place special demands on their sleeping area. A dog bed that is too small or unsuitable can lead to poor posture, pain and restless sleep. This makes it all the more important to have an orthopaedic, well-padded and sufficiently large bed that provides optimum support for the body and relieves pressure on the joints.

Orthopaedic support
A large, ergonomic dog bed provides more comfort, better regeneration and long-term health. So when choosing, pay attention to size, quality and orthopaedic properties - for your dog's sake.
Orthopaedic dog beds such as the KUDDE from SABRO offer targeted support for the spine and joints thanks to their pressure-relieving mattress - even for heavy dog breeds. The generous lying surface allows your dog to stretch out completely and rest in a relaxed manner.
Durability and robustness
Dogs, especially larger breeds, need beds that are robust and durable. At SABRO, we rely on high-quality materials that are not only comfortable, but can also withstand heavy use. This ensures that the bed retains its shape and looks good even with intensive use - for many years to come.
Dog beds for comfort and well-being
- A large dog bed not only offers your dog enough space, but also ensures a restful sleep, which is important for regeneration and well-being.
- SABRO dog beds are designed to support your dog's body evenly and ensure maximum comfort. In addition, our dog beds are available in different designs, colors and sizes so that they can be optimally adapted to different furnishing styles and personal preferences.
In addition to classic dog beds, there are also alternatives such as dog cushions, dog mats, dog sofas, dog baskets, dog loungers, dog couches, dog blankets, dog furniture and other dog sleeping areas as well as practical dog accessories for large dogs.
What is important when choosing a dog bed for large dogs
Choosing the right materials for dog beds is crucial to ensure comfort, durability and health. Especially for large dog breeds such as German Shepherds or St. Bernards, it is important to choose high-quality and robust material components. A good dog bed must not only be comfortable, but also suitable for everyday use - especially for large or active dogs. Easy-care and robust materials therefore play a key role. Water and dirt-repellent surfaces make cleaning easier and ensure that the dog bed remains hygienic and well-maintained even with daily use.
Modern dog beds for large dogs should be particularly hard-wearing, easy-care, wipeable or machine washable in order to meet the high demands of everyday life.
Sustainable, environmentally friendly and recyclable materials that contribute to environmental protection are becoming increasingly important. The weight of the bed also plays a role: a heavy dog bed stays in place better and offers additional stability for large dogs.
Our faux leather or vegan suede covers are particularly practical. They can be quickly wiped or removed and are resistant to moisture. The vegan suede version also offers a pleasant feel and is more scratch-resistant - ideal for dogs that like to "turn in" with their paws.
It's not just the outer material that determines the quality of a dog bed - the interior is also crucial: orthopaedic inlay cushions or mattresses provide targeted pressure relief and promote regeneration. They also support the joints and relieve pressure on the spine - particularly important for large, older dogs or dogs with health problems. Breathable and hypoallergenic materials also contribute to well-being and create a healthy sleeping environment for your four-legged friend.
In addition to the textiles and fillings used, format and size also play an important role: all dogs, large and small, need enough space to stretch out and relax comfortably. That's why we at SABRO also offer dog beds and dog mats in XL and XXL sizes, so that you can find the right model for your pet.
Materials: What goes into the perfect dog bed?
Choosing the right materials is at the heart of a high-quality dog bed - especially for large dogs that need a stable and comfortable place to sleep. High-quality dog beds rely on carefully selected materials such as robust artificial leather, soft fabrics and orthopaedic inlay cushions that specifically support the joints and ensure maximum comfort. For large dog breeds in particular, it is important that the material is not only comfortable against the skin, but can also withstand daily wear and tear.
The quality of the workmanship plays a decisive role here: neatly finished seams, hard-wearing covers and durable fillings ensure that the dog bed retains its shape and remains comfortable even after years of use. Many models also offer water-repellent properties that protect the sleeping area from moisture and make cleaning easier - a real advantage in everyday life with dogs.
Dog beds can also be visually impressive: today, colors and patterns are as diverse as the furnishing options in your home. Whether classic, modern or playful - the selection of designs makes it easy to find a dog bed that blends harmoniously into the living environment and emphasizes your personal style. When choosing, always pay attention to the properties and quality of the materials used so that your dog gets a place to sleep that combines comfort, durability and well-being.
Safety and stability: what large dogs really need
A safe and stable dog bed is essential for large dogs. The construction should be designed in such a way that it can easily support the weight of your furry friend and not sag. At SABRO, we therefore attach great importance to a well thought-out design that reliably supports the weight of even heavy dogs - without sagging or losing its shape.
Our orthopaedic models, such as KUDDE and JOKKMOKK, offer integrated support for the joints and thus promote regeneration after sleep. Both items are equipped with high-quality foam mattresses that provide maximum pressure relief. Depending on the model and size, we adjust the compression firmness individually - so every dog gets exactly the support that suits its weight and build. A special comfort feature is the raised, stable edge: it allows dogs to lay their head down comfortably and thus promotes a relaxed lying position - ideal for dogs who like to "keep an overview". At the same time, the all-round edge creates a feeling of security and protection. This means that your dog's sleeping area always remains a safe retreat in the house.
The textiles we use are robust, easy-care and designed for everyday life with dogs. The covers are easy to care for and can be easily removed and changed - so the sleeping area always remains a safe and hygienic retreat to feel good in.
With the perfect combination of stability, healthy lying comfort and ease of care, the KUDDE from SABRO is a long-lasting favorite - especially for large dogs with high demands.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable dog beds
More and more dog owners are attaching importance to environmentally friendly and sustainable products - even when buying a dog bed for large dogs. At SABRO, we consciously focus on longevity instead of disposable products: Our dog beds are sustainable, environmentally friendly and recyclable, retain their shape for many years and offer lasting comfort. So there is no need to buy a new bed just because the old one is worn out.
Another advantage: most of our products have replaceable covers. This means that if a cover wears out or simply needs to be replaced, it can be reordered separately - the dog bed itself remains the same. This saves resources and reduces waste, without compromising on comfort or functionality.
Our items are also made from high-quality fabrics that are certified in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. They are free from harmful substances and therefore particularly kind to the skin - both for dogs and the environment.
A dog bed from SABRO is a sustainable choice for anyone who values quality, durability and responsibility thanks to its well thought-out design and long service life.
Accessories: that little bit extra for your dog bed
A dog bed only becomes the perfect retreat for your four-legged friend with the right accessories. Orthopaedic cushions, soft blankets or cuddly mats offer additional comfort and ensure that your dog feels completely at ease. For large dogs in particular, who need extra comfort and support, these accessories can make all the difference and make the sleeping area even more attractive.
Practical extras such as portable dog beds or special travel cushions are ideal if your dog accompanies you on excursions or on vacation. This way, your dog's favorite spot is always with you and your dog feels at home even when you're away. There is a large selection of accessories - from warm blankets for cold days to cooling mats in summer.
Choose accessories that suit your dog's needs and preferences. Whether additional comfort, more coziness or practical solutions for on the go - with the right accessories, the dog bed becomes an individual feel-good place for your dog and provides optimal support in everyday life.
Dog beds in everyday life: practical experience and tips
A dog bed is much more than just a place to sleep - it is the most important retreat for your dog in the house. To ensure that this place offers lasting comfort and security, the right care is crucial. Regular shaking out, vacuuming and washing of the dog bed not only ensures cleanliness, but also your dog's health. Hygiene is a particularly important factor for dogs that spend a lot of time on their bed.
Place the dog bed in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid moisture and the formation of mold or bacteria. This keeps your dog's sleeping area fresh and inviting at all times.
With a little attention and regular care, the dog bed remains the best retreat for your dog - a place to relax, sleep and feel good day after day.
Tips for choosing the perfect dog bed for your four-legged friend
- Note the size: The bed should be big enough for your dog to stretch out without any problems.
- Choice of material: Opt for hard-wearing and easy-care fabrics.
- Prefer orthopaedic beds: This is a must, especially for older dogs or breeds that are prone to joint problems.
- Special requirements for large dogs: Make sure that dog beds for large dogs are hard-wearing and sufficiently heavy for more stability.
How to care for and clean your dog bed properly
A clean dog bed not only ensures a pleasant sleeping environment, but also protects your dog's health - especially in the case of allergies, sensitive skin or after a rainy walk. Dog beds for large dogs in particular should be easy to care for, washable and machine washable to make cleaning easier. Proper care is essential to ensure that your dog bed stays beautiful and hygienically clean for a long time.
- Shake out and vacuum regularly: Hair, dust and crumbs are best removed if the dog bed is regularly shaken out or vacuumed. Smooth, dirt-repellent surfaces such as artificial leather or vegan suede look are particularly practical - they can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Removable and washable covers: At SABRO, all dog bed covers are removable - as with the KUDDE - and many of them are even machine washable. It is best to wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. You should avoid fabric softener and tumble dryers to protect the material and preserve its longevity.
- Don't forget the mattress: The inside should also be aired out from time to time. If possible, regularly remove the mattress from the cover and air it out. This prevents odors from forming and maintains its shape.
- Treat small stains directly: A damp microfiber cloth or a mild soap solution is usually sufficient for spot stains. This allows small stains to be removed quickly before they set in.
- Prevent instead of cleaning afterwards: A clean dog towel or a blanket to cover the bed can help to keep the dog bed clean for longer - especially after walks in the rain or mud.
Well cared for - enjoy your dog bed for longer
With the right care, the dog bed will not only remain hygienic, but also dimensionally stable and beautiful - for many years to come. Regular cleaning is particularly worthwhile for high-quality models such as the KUDDE from SABRO with its durable mattresses and replaceable covers, so that your dog's favorite place remains a feel-good place in the long term.
