Why Dog Beds With Raised Edges Can Be So Popular
Have you noticed your dog sleeping with their head resting on the edge of the couch, a pillow or even your foot?
You're not alone.
Many dogs seem to enjoy having something supporting their head while they rest.
Dogs have different sleeping preferences
Some dogs stretch completely flat.
Others curl up into a ball.
And some seem happiest when they can rest their head against something.
A bed with raised edges can provide a defined space where dogs can position themselves comfortably.
A defined sleeping space
Raised sides can help create a clear boundary around the sleeping area.
For dogs that like feeling surrounded while they rest, this can be appealing.
The Snugs Bed with Removable Cover has raised sides that create a cosy sleeping area.
Consider your dog's size
Even if your dog enjoys raised edges, the bed still needs to be large enough.
They should be able to lie down comfortably without being restricted.
Observe before you buy
Watch where your dog chooses to sleep.
If they regularly use cushions, couch arms or pillows as headrests, a structured dog bed may suit their habits.
Comfort is individual
Not every dog will prefer a raised-edge bed.
Some may prefer a completely open mattress.
The Wagit Mattress provides a flatter sleeping surface for dogs that prefer more freedom to stretch.
Let your dog guide the choice
Your dog's existing sleeping habits are one of the best clues you have.
Look at where they sleep, how they position themselves and what they use as support.
Then choose bedding accordingly.
