Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Beds are the Best

For good health and restful sleep, proper support in a bed is important, and it is just as important for your dog or pet. You would want the best bed you could practically afford for your own use and it is just as essential that your dog’s bed be designed with its health and well-being in mind. Your pet counts on you to provide a comfortable and supportive dog bed that fulfills its need for deep, restful sleep.

Advertisers use words like luxurious, the best, cool, fashion, custom, designer, orthopedic and discount prices, which are fine. However, support, pressure relief, comfort and durability are the words that should receive our attention. 

The forces of gravity are at work on your body when you’re lying in bed, pushing down on your hips, shoulders, joints and skeletal frame into your mattress. If your mattress were cement or other hard surface without compression, body curvatures would not be supported and pressure would be placed on sensitive points, with hips and shoulders subjected to the brunt of the force, bringing about pain and discomfort and disruptive sleep. The same forces of gravity also affect our pets. To prevent calluses, which can occasionally become infected, your dog should have a well-padded bed located where it tends to lie, sleep or relax.

Inner spring mattress dog beds, regular foam dog beds, egg crate foam dog beds, shredded foam dog beds and polyfill dog beds will all compact, creating resistance at points where the most weight is applied.

Reduce tossing and turning up to 90% with orthopedic memory foam

Hospitals and burn units use orthopedic memory foam for patients to eliminate pressure points that create bed sores. Your dog or pet is also susceptible to the same laws of gravity that cause the cutting off of circulation, creating pressure point discomfort. These pressure points build up, and that is why people and pets toss and turn to get away from the pressure build up, triggering the need to turn over. The pressure points soon build up again and the cycle repeats.

Dog and pet beds of exceptional quality and function

Orthopedic memory foam dog beds reduce pressure on joints and other jutting body parts, and are firm enough to satisfy your dog’s instinctual need to sleep on solid ground, while assisting healthy circulation. Traditional material is susceptible to sag; orthopedic pet bed surfaces refresh their form with every use, providing exceptional therapeutic cushioning. Orthopedic pet beds absorb, redistribute and balance weight pressure evenly across the dog’s body as they gently cradle your pet’s body giving superior comfort.

Equally appreciated by younger pets, the sleep surface offers excellent preventative care. Orthopedic dog beds improve the quality of life for dogs and cats with hip or elbow dysplasia, arthritis and joint problems associated with large breeds and older dogs.

A Nature’s Foundation Deluxe Pet Bed was created for the best possible sleep surface for your pet. The bed's two chambers are designed to work together to provide maximum comfort and support with 1 ½  inch orthopedic foam and a bottom chamber filled with cedar bedding to mask odors that may linger around your dog, allowing better smells around the house, and to keep bugs away. The 2 ½ inch thick reversible pad on top has fleece for warmness in the winter and 600 denier nylon to keep your pet cool in the summer.

Available in decorator colors, these beds are stylish and, more importantly, functional for both you and your favorite pet!
