Overview

The PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed is a rectangular lounge bed built on a base of solid memory foam, with padded bolsters around three sides. It is one of the better-known orthopedic beds on Amazon in both the US and Canada, and it sits in the middle ground between cheap fibre-filled beds and heavy-duty foam slabs. Rover’s review measured the base at roughly four inches of foam, and describes the bolsters as working well as a headrest. We link the Large size here, which PetFusion lists at 36 x 28 x 9 inches.

The appeal is simple. Solid foam keeps its shape under a heavier dog much better than shredded foam or polyfill, and the bolsters give a dog something to lean against without the bed becoming a closed-in donut. The outer cover zips off for washing, and there is a water-resistant inner liner between cover and foam, which makes accidents and drool easier to manage.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)

This bed suits medium and large adult dogs that sleep stretched out, and older dogs that need a firmer surface to push up from. It also works well for owners who want a neat, furniture-like shape in a living room. If your dog curls into a tight ball, a round bed with a full rim, such as the Best Friends by Sheri Calming Donut, may feel more natural.

Skip it if your dog digs or chews bedding. The cover is upholstery-style fabric, not ripstop, and a chewer can get into the foam. Very large or giant breeds may also find the Large size cramped; size up to the XL or Jumbo, or look at a thicker mattress.

Costs to know about

There is no ongoing cost beyond washing. PetFusion sells replacement covers separately, which is useful if the original wears out before the foam does.

How it compares

The KOPEKS Jumbo 7-inch Orthopedic Dog Bed gives a thicker foam base and a larger sleeping surface, which makes it the better choice for giant breeds. The PetFusion is the tidier of the two and its bolsters suit dogs that like to lean. Wash the cover regularly, and if the bed sits near the sofa, our guide to getting dog smell out of a couch covers odour control for nearby fabrics.

Frequently asked questions

What size PetFusion bed should I get?

Measure your dog lying fully stretched out and add a few inches. PetFusion lists the Large at 36 x 28 x 9 inches, the XL at 44 x 34 x 10 and the Jumbo at 50 x 40 x 13. Bolsters take up some of that outer measurement, so if your dog is close to the limit, size up.

Can I wash the whole PetFusion bed?

You wash the outer cover, not the foam. The cover zips off and is machine washable, and the inner liner sits between the cover and the foam to keep moisture out. Spot clean the liner if needed and let the foam air out before you zip it back up.

Is the PetFusion bed good for older dogs?

It is a sensible choice for many older dogs because solid memory foam gives an even, firm surface that does not flatten the way polyfill does. The low front edge is easy to step onto. If your dog has ongoing joint or mobility concerns, ask your vet what kind of bed they recommend.

Is the foam certified?

The Amazon listing states the foam is CertiPUR-US certified and the bed has a 3-year warranty. We have not confirmed either on the CertiPUR-US database or the brand's warranty page, so check the listing and the paperwork that comes with the bed.
