Your pet spends up to half the day asleep, so their bed matters more than almost anything else they own. The right bed supports their joints, helps them feel safe, and (let's be honest) looks gorgeous in your home. Here's how to choose the right bed for your dog or cat, based on how they actually like to sleep.

How to Choose the Right Pet Bed
Start by watching your pet nap. Curlers tuck their nose to their tail. Burrowers dig under blankets. Sprawlers stretch out flat, and leaners like resting their head on something. Once you know their style, the right bed is easy to pick. Measure your pet from nose to tail while they sleep and add a few inches, so they have room to settle in.

For Leaners
1. Cozy Bolster Beds: For Pets Who Love a Pillow
Bolster beds have raised, cushioned sides that are perfect for pets who rest their chin on the edge. The walls give gentle neck support and a sense of security, while the open front makes it easy for small dogs, seniors, and cats to step in.
♡ Our pick: The Pink Gingham Princess Pet Bed pairs soft bolster sides with lace ruffle trim. It's a sweet, classic look that works in a bedroom or living room. Pair it with our Luxury Pink Crystal Rhinestone Collar for a perfectly coordinated look.

For Burrowers
2. Cave Beds: For Burrowers and Shy Sleepers
If your pet hides under blankets or curls up in closets, they'll love a cave bed. The hooded top traps warmth and blocks out light and noise, so anxious pets and cats who like to hide feel safe. Cave beds are especially good for small, short-coated, and senior pets who get chilly.
♡ Our pick: The Cozy Cave Plush Pet Bed in Pink has a plush hooded shell that makes a warm, calming hideaway. Also available in Mint Green and Grey. Top off the look with the Halo Drop Light Pink Teardrop Crystal Collar.
“Naptime deserves style too.”

For Curlers
3. Donut Beds: For Curlers Who Need to Unwind
Round donut beds have a raised, fluffy rim all the way around, so pets can curl up and snuggle into the edge. This circular shape copies how cats and small dogs naturally sleep, which makes it a great pick for pets who have trouble settling down.
♡ Our picks: The Pink Ruffle Princess Donut Bed wraps a plush donut in romantic lace ruffles. The Purple Ruffle Princess Donut Bed brings the same look in a rich lavender. For a matching sparkle, try the Diamond Diva Clear Crystal Collar.

For Sprawlers
4. Oversized Loungers: For Big Dogs and Big Sprawlers
Large breeds, multi-pet homes, and dogs who sleep stretched out flat need room to spread out. Oversized loungers give full-body support with a thick, plush base, and they're big enough to share (yes, even with you).
♡ Our pick: The Olive Green Giant Pet Bed Oversized Plush Lounger comes with a soft blanket and a handy pocket. Finish the look with our Ruby Red and AB Gold Crystal Collar.

Pet Bed Care Tips
Shake out and vacuum your pet's bed weekly to keep fur and dander under control. Wash covers following the care instructions every couple of weeks, and let them air dry fully so the filling stays fluffy. Put the bed in a quiet, draft-free spot where your pet already likes to nap.
