Why orthopaedic dog beds are the best choice for your dog
Just like us humans, dogs like to sleep comfortably, as this protects and supports their backs. That's why they need a proper dog bed just as much as we need a suitable mattress. This is even more important for dogs, as they sleep much more than we do. An adult four-legged friend spends up to 18 hours a day, a puppy or senior even more than 20, most of which is spent dozing and only six to eight hours in deep sleep. In order to sleep restfully and maintain a healthy posture, dogs therefore need a safe, species-appropriate and ideally orthopaedic place to sleep.

Optimum pressure relief for healthy joints
Orthopaedic dog beds offer additional benefits to simple dog beds. They are designed to relieve pressure on your dog's joints and spine. At SABRO, we use a special, high-quality memory foam that adapts individually to the shape of your dog's body, promoting optimal blood circulation and relaxation.
Ideal for older dogs or dogs with joint problems
Older dogs, animals with joint problems such as osteoarthritis or overweight four-legged friends in particular benefit from an orthopaedic dog bed. It supports the natural sleeping position and reduces pain caused by joint and muscle tension. This allows your dog to recover and sleep better.
Orthopaedic and simply comfortable
In addition to pressure relief, orthopaedic dog beds provide a stable base as they are usually thicker and more stable than conventional beds. Your dog does not sink in too deeply, which promotes a comfortable and ergonomic lying position. This is particularly important for dogs recovering from surgery or injury, as the bed provides therapeutic support and promotes the healing process. Such beds are not only a great solution for dogs with special needs, but also a good preventative choice for any dog's health.
High-quality materials for durability
We only use high-quality and durable materials in the manufacture of our orthopaedic dog beds. The covers are always removable and easy to clean, so the bed always remains hygienic and offers your dog a clean sleeping environment.
Which material is best suited for orthopaedic dog beds?
- Memory foam: The special (visco) foam offers the perfect balance between support and comfort as it adapts to the shape of the dog's body.
- Breathable fabric: Make sure that the cover of the bed is breathable to prevent moisture build-up and overheating. At SABRO, we use breathable materials that you can even use on underfloor heating.
When should you switch to an orthopaedic dog bed?
- For older dogs: From a certain age, many dogs start to develop joint pain or back problems, and an orthopaedic bed can help here.
- At the first signs of pain: If your dog is already showing the first signs of osteoarthritis or other joint problems, an orthopaedic bed can alleviate the pain and improve quality of life.
- Preventive for large dogs: Large dogs are more prone to joint problems due to their weight. An orthopaedic bed can be used preventively to minimize pressure on the joints and prevent conditions such as hip dysplasia. It promotes healthy recovery and prevents long-term problems.
How to care for and clean orthopaedic dog beds properly
Proper care and regular cleaning are important to ensure that your dog enjoys its orthopaedic dog bed for a long time. Here are some tips on how to care for your dog bed:
- Clean the covers properly: Most SABRO dog beds have easy-care covers made of artificial leather or vegan suede. You can simply remove dirt from these with a damp cloth. Alternatively, you can use one of the matching SABRO fabric covers, which you can remove and wash in the washing machine.
- Clean the inside of the bed: If the foam comes into contact with moisture or dirt, treat it with an enzyme cleaning spray and then allow it to dry thoroughly before putting the cover back on.
- Regular inspection: Check the bed regularly for signs of wear and tear to ensure that it continues to provide optimum comfort and support.
With these simple care tips, your four-legged friend's orthopaedic dog bed will always stay hygienic and comfortable.
What you should look out for when choosing an orthopaedic dog bed
When choosing the right orthopaedic dog bed, you should pay attention to a few important points to ensure that your dog receives the best support and comfort:
- Size of the bed: Make sure that the bed is large enough for your dog to stretch out completely. We offer different sizes to suit the needs of small and large dogs.
- Memory foam as the core material: An orthopaedic bed should definitely have a core made of memory foam, as this provides optimum relief for your dog's pressure points and adapts perfectly to the body.
- Removable and easy-care cover: Hygiene is particularly important. A removable cover that is easy to change and clean ensures that the bed stays clean and that your dog always sleeps in a healthy environment.
These recommendations will help you find the perfect orthopaedic dog bed for your four-legged friend that supports their health and offers them maximum comfort.
