When it comes to your pup's sleeping schedule, we wouldn't expect anything less than the best! Whether it's with a fancy dog house or a ton of dog toys you splurged on, your dog is constantly spoiled to live a life of comfort. Choosing the best dog bed for your pup is all about their sleeping and lounging habits. Is your pitbull a professional at chewing through every bed you get them? Or do you have a Bernese Mountain dog who tends to drool? The secret to your furry best friend sleeping in blissful peace is through creating a calming space that suits their needs.

Interior designer, Noz Nozawa says, "Like mattresses and bedrooms are so valuable for our own rest and restoration, our dog family members deserve the same! There are so many beautiful dog bed options out there these days that we shouldn’t have to compromise on pet furniture that feels at odds with all the care we put into decorating our own homes."

To assist in your search for the best setup for your precious pup, we tested out dog beds for different dog breeds with the help of interior designers and dog-obsessed editors! These dog beds have been put to the test for every nap session, lounging in the sun, and the occasional toss in the washer to clean up muddy paws. Finally, if your dog loves tracking paws on your bed, there are machine-washable options that will totally take your pooch out of the dog house. As dog lovers, we know how important it is to make sure your pooch feels at home while setting the necessary boundaries, of course. Shop below for your dog's new nap destination that will have its tails wagging with excitement when it's time to sleep.

The Dog Bed

Love your Casper? Chances are your dog will, too. Casper is an editor favorite at House Beautiful so if you're looking for a full-support option for your dog, this memory foam bed won't disappoint. Our tester says, "The Casper dog bed is great! My German Shepherd, Maggie loves it already. It’s super easy to assemble and durable, but also lightweight and soft. Maggie is in her “chew on anything and everything” puppy stage, so I appreciate the small flap that hides the zipper when it’s fully zipped." If you are potty training a pup or have an older dog who is prone to accidents, the inserts may need a little more TLC.

Donut Dog Bed

One of our shopping editors chose to review one of Amazon's top-rated dog beds. The bed's ergonomic shape allows your pup to curl up into a ball and hide in the center for added warmth. "Funny enough, my Bernedoodle claims this bed instead of the large dog bed we purchased for her. It's super soft and anti-anxiety to keep her calm regardless of how busy it gets with our two other dogs. It's her own cuddler!"

ToughChew® Memory Foam Bolster Dog Bed

Orvis hypoallergenic, low-VOC beds were a hit amongst reviewers. One tester says, "I honestly was preparing for the worst the moment I took this dog bed out for my pitbull Blue. He's 7 months old and can chew through any fabric as if it's a piece of paper. But thankfully, he is obsessed and doesn't chew on it! The bed is so comfortable that he would rather watch me cook from a distance instead of booking it to the kitchen."

Another tester agrees saying, "The Orvis dog bed is enormous and very soft. It just feels like a massive pillow, which Georgie loves. She also usually gets hot in other beds, but can lay in this one for hours." This bed is crafted to last for years to come so be sure to choose a bed size they can grow into comfortably. Plus, you can even customize their name into it!

3-In-1 Pet Bed

If you have a new puppy who is testing out the waters in beds, you're best bet is a plush, furry option. This bed is low enough if your small dog is super active to maneuver around. If you have a dog that grows up to 30 pounds, the small size bed will be more than enough for their growth spurt. Nozawa says, "My dog Ernie, for example, prefers a bolster at all times so donut beds and “sofa-style beds are best for her. A flat pancake style doesn’t work for how she likes to nap!"

The bolsters and top cover can be removed for a set up on your couch during movie marathons or if your dog can't help but crawl into bed with you.

Frisco Bolster Dog Bed

This dog bed is undefeatable. If your dog is small to medium, it will catch Z's with ease all night long. Our tester was curious to see if a bed their family has chosen over and over again would be a favorite for their own pup too. The plump bolster sides are great for nestling and the dog can lay on its side for cloudlike pillow comfort. What's even better? It's easy to clean and under $30. Simply toss them in the washer without removing the cover, and you're all set!

Original Dog Bed

Whether your dog is a mixed breed or the pickiest pup on the planet, this Tuft & Needle mattress perfectly balances comfort and support. The foam pad cushion is detachable so you can place it within your dog's crate for road trips or checkups.

Our tester loved the simplicity of the design and the quality of the bed for their dog who often joins them on long car rides. The outer canvas is durable and the bed frame is firm for various weights and dogs who can't help but claw at the ground.

Silk Pet Bed

With striped Mulberry silk, all-around bolster support, and an edgy look, this dog bed is for the pup who is the star of your Instagram account. For our tester, their fluffy dog Gus was chosen to sleep in this soft-to-touch silk bed. It was a match made in heaven as Gus tends to shed.

The material won't snag your pet's hair and since the silk is hypoallergenic, it will repel unwelcomed guests like dust and mites. Whether it's for a photo shoot or for a planned nap time, this chic bed will look luxe wherever you place it.

Pillo Dog Bed

"I have to go on record saying that my pitbull Juice put this bed through the ringer and the bed remains intact! It is on the slim side, so he would try chewing the bed but it didn't rip. After sizing it up, he knows when he sees the bed in his crate, it's time to get comfortable for a car ride," says one tester.

The filling is plush while the exterior is strong enough as your dog adjusts and pushes the bed around to suit their needs. It's easy to care for, and the waterproof cover is a bonus for dogs who drool. The shredded foam filling and all covers are fully machine washable and machine dryable, unlike traditional foam pads which are notoriously slow to dry and prone to mildew and mold growth, and the waterproof outer cover can easily be removed for cleaning.

Do dogs prefer round or square beds?

As pack animals, dogs like to feel snuggled into bed. Depending on their size or sleeping habits, you'll be able to determine which shape suits their frame. Dogs who sleep stretched will prefer a rectangular bed, but if your dog likes to curl up in a ball, they'll love a round bed.
