Barkbox Orthopedic Canine Mattress | Comfy Reminiscence Foam Mattress for Joint Reduction | Head and Neck Assist Waterproof with Non Skid Backside | Calming Sturdy Mattress with Washable Cowl | XL, Gray

A nice bed for weary bones.
Bed Size: Medium (29″ long)
Dog: Rat Terrier mix (approx. 16 lbs)
My 17-year-old arthritic pup was apprehensive about this bed at first… for maybe a day. Now it’s kind of a surprise when we _don’t_ see him snoring away on this bed. As I said, he’s 17 and arthritic, so the firm memory foam in this bed gives him better support than other options around the house. At only 3″ high (it “looks” smaller than that, but I haven’t measured), it’s easier for him to step on and off, too. Knock on wood, he hasn’t had an accident yet (and I hope he never does!), so I can’t speak to the waterproof aspect yet, but overall I’m happy with the bed… and more importantly, the dog is too. He seems to be genuinely comfortable on it, and I wasn’t kidding about the snoring, either!
My only complaints about the bed are nit-picky aesthetics. I ordered the sand color. What I received looks nothing like the photo. I received a hybrid… it has an espresso body with a sand top surface. I trust that’s just a new style and not a factory second. In and of itself, it doesn’t look bad at all, but there’s a reason I ordered sand.
My wife is the one who opened the package upon arrival, so I didn’t get to see how it was packed; but based on the wrinkles on the bed cover, I’m guessing everything–gel foam, memory foam, and cover–were all vacuum-sealed together in one bag. The wrinkles are _not_ coming out over time and appear to be a permanent feature of the cover. Maybe they’ll come out when the cover gets washed the first time? I hope so, because it doesn’t look good right now.
Since I shared my nit-picky complaints, let me be fair and praise one of the “little details” that drives me nuts when done wrong. The zipper to remove the cover runs length-wise, not width-wise, and even wraps around one of the corners, making it ultra easy to remove and reassemble the cover. Thank you!
Alas, my dog has lost any enthusiasm for toys these days, but the “pea” would have been an enjoyment for him in earlier years, and a perfect size for him. It’ll get donated to a local adoption agency where I’m sure it’ll be enjoyed by many.
As I’ve already stated, both the “old man” and I are quite happy with this bed. Offered at a fair price, too.
UPDATE (8/13/2020)
After writing the above review, I had to take measurements. The medium bed is 32″L x 22″W x 2.875″H, which is longer and wider than specified in the description. Be aware of that. If I had bought this item as a bed for a 30″ kennel, it would be too big. Thankfully, however, that wasn’t my intent (though I used it as my basis for the purchase), so the larger dimensions are a bonus in my case.
FINAL UPDATE (12/20/2020)
1. It took 5 washings (maybe six), but the wrinkles finally came out of the cover. The bed looks much nicer now.
2. Alas, the old dog had a few accidents on the bed since the original review; three of them to be exact. The cover was wet but the bed inside remained dry! The long, easy-on-easy-off zipper helped get the cover off quickly and in an orderly fashion.
3. Really happy with this bed, and love the extra firmness for my boy.

Thick, firm as described
This Barkbox mat is a nice, thick, firm dog mat that I placed in the family room. Orthopedic mats can be quite expensive. I think that this Barkbox mat is a good price, and the quality seems very good. My elderly sheltie likes it but tends to prefer a smaller, much-less expensive (aka “cheap”) orthopedic mat that is kept in the kitchen. I think that she prefers the location of the smaller kitchen mat, which is not a well-known brand, because it is tucked into a small, cozy place.
I have a younger sheltie with a 42″ crate. I found that this size Barkbox mat is just a bit wider than the crate but can be stuffed into the crate and flattened. It is a fabulous crate mat. Since the elderly sheltie seems to prefer the smaller, less-expensive orthopedic mat in the kitchen, I may use this mat as a crate mat for the younger dog. It fits perfectly when flattened down into the crate and is now a very comfortable crate mat.

Nice dog bed!
I bought the 30” bed for our mini Aussie for her kennel. I was tired of the beds where I had to wash the entire thing, because they eventually fall apart at the seems and lose their fluff. Plus this dog will throw up probably every couple weeks, so it’s nice to only have to wash the cover and not the entire bed. I had done the same thing with our bigger Aussie and proves to be much more cost effective. I do have a liner on order because I want full protection for it (as I also did with my bigger dog). I’ve already washed and dried the liner and it did not shrink. The liner inside that comes with it it NOT waterproof. The bed itself has two sides. A softer and firmer side. The blue side does feel pretty soft (memory foam) and my older mini Aussie seems to like it. It expanded quickly, probably within 5-10 min to the full 3”. I was impressed. So far I’m giving tbis 5 stars.
UPDATE/1.15.2021: this is still holding up well. I’ve only had to wash the cover a couple times. Still fits around the foam nicely. The foam/bedding itself is holding up well. Plus our dog it only about 18 lbs. she seems to really like it.
UPDATE / 7.30.23: My little dog passed away the other day but this bed is STILL in excellent condition. I believe it helped tremendously having a separate liner inside. (She was throwing up a lot near the end of her life) The cover that came with the bed is still in great shape and held up to washes really well. I would only dry it a few minutes and then air dry the rest of the time to help prolong it’s life. I would highly recommend this product.

My 7 month old Mini aussie seems to love it and it fits perfectly in his 42 inch Kong crate. He usually isnt a fan of his crate but the minute I put the mattress in, he hoped into bed. I got an XL size and the fit is a tiny bit snug but can definitly adjust it to squeeze it into the crate. The crate itself measures 42×29. And the mattress is 41×29 so even though the lenght is perfect, the width is what is causing the snugness. Had it been an inch lesser width wise, it is the perfect addition to his crate. I was impressed with the matress. I let it breathe for 48 hours before zipping the cover. The zipper itself is questionable if it will withstand wear and tear as it seems cheaply made but only time will tell. Overall worth the $$.

Me encantó cómo llegó el producto, se expandió rápidamente, no batallé nada en ponerle la funda y tiene una capa a prueba de agua. El material se ve muy resistente.
La pelota es ahora de los juguetes favoritos de mi perro.
