Memory Foam Dog Beds

Thinking about getting a memory foam dog bed for your dog? Well, plan on spending at least $250 and up depending on the the size. Is it worth it? That's up to you.

We've all heard about memory foam beds for people. This technology is been around for some time and many people say they help with there sleeping problems. Normally a memory foam dog bed is also an orthopedic style that is supposed to help dogs with arthritis or other muscle and bone issues.

Does it really help your dog sleep better? No one cans say for sure since the dogs aren't talking. But these types of beds do make a softer bed for your dog to lie on and it probably can't hurt. The whole point of the material is that it provides support without becoming lumping and always returns to it's natural shape.

Some manufacturers claim that the thicker the foam, the better it is for your dog. many offer 2", 4", and even 8" thickness. One of the factors that may impact the comfort level for your dog is his/her weight. The heavier the dog, the thicker the padding for the softest surface. Two inch padding may be fine for a small 10-12 lb dog, whereas the heavier dogs at 60-70 lbs may get more comfort out of the four inch models.

Memory Foam adds to the price: Regardless of other factors like style of bed, size, or covering material if you add in memory foam it's going to raise the price considerably. Memory foam is expensive and gets more expensive as the thickness increases plus the size of the bed can be a factor too. You could buy the memory foam as a separate purchase and position it on top of any current dog bed you have for a lot less.

Most of the popular dog bed manufactures have a memory foam model: If you have a brand of preference, check with your favorite to see if they have memory foam dog beds or even memory foam inserts for current models. Be ready for sticker shock, and custom versions can get real pricey. Don't forget you could also buy the memory foam and make your own insert to any current dog bed you already have.

Shop around for the best price: Prices vary on the different brands. Some times it might be a quality issue but many times it's more of a "brand name" situation. If you want the memory foam dog bed to make a fashion statement, you're going to pay more. Some of the manufacturers sell directly to the public and than can save you some dollars too. Do your homework and look at several retail and manufacturers products and pricing, it will be worth the savings.

I'm not sure a warranty makes much difference: Any warranty is no better than the company that offers it. And be careful to read the fine print on any warranty since many have quite a few disclaimers. And trying to prove the memory foam was defective or didn't live up to claims might be a problem since it may be difficult to prove. So take any warranty with a grain of salt.

Larger dogs seem to have more problems with both arthritis and other muscle and bone issues. If you think one of the memory foam dog beds will make your pet more comfortable, then it's probably worth the extra money. But shop around to find the best deal on a quality memory foam dog bed.
