Big Barker Orthopedic Dog Bed For Sale (Feb 2023 Update)

One of my great danes is 7 1/2. He threw out his poor old back a day before I ordered this bed it was absolutely awful to see him hurt so bad. It was his old bed. I ordered this after his vet appointment and I was relieved to see big barker shipped it the same day, the Friday before memorial day. Memorial weekend passed and we got it on Tuesday. I also want to mention that I appreciate a product made in the US, I buy what I can American made. He laid on it for a few days and then quit and then I realized it was because it didn't smell like his stinky old blankets that he enjoys so much, so after I put his favorite smelly blanket on the bed he took to it immediately. We got the XL with 1 side that has a pillow. He hasn't seemed to care about the pillow much so he avoids it. Only one dane can fit on the bed but he is a big beefy euro dane. I absolutely plan on ordering again for our 2nd great dane but getting the flat XL version, maybe swapping them out for the boys. Reggie my injured dane was hand raised by me with love, he was a rescue that I fostered at 2 weeks and we fell in love with him so we were fortunate to be able to adopt him. I used to kangaroo him because he was so small and ill he couldnt retain his own body temp. So safe to say I love my dogs like they're my own children. Very glad I decided to give it a shot. It was expensive but so is an emergency vet appointment with a hurt back. Well worth the money if it makes his final years earthside comfortable.Jessi

It's been 3 years since I first experienced a Big Barker that was generously donated to a special needs dog at the rescue where I work in Missouri. 18 mo. later we bought one for our 80# Akita/Shepherd Knarly after I saw how that donated bed stood up to the wear and tear of daily shelter use. That was 18 mo ago. We lost him in February to what looked like cancer, but it was a fast end to a big life full of adventure. He loved this thing. I love this thing. It kept me from waking up every 40 minutes when he got uncomfortable crammed onto our queen sized memory foam mattress (we're not small people either) and hopped stiffly down to the carpet, then got back up with us a little while later. I miss the big, comfortable sigh he'd give us every night once his chin hit the pillow. And he slept HARD, with his bad leg hanging off the side. I miss our dog. The bed's still going strong under our 60# pit mix, though. He likes to hang his rear end off, elbows on the bed, and stretch his back legs out with his toes all spread out, then belly crawl the rest of the way onto it, draped over the middle of it. Pitties are weird. At least mine's weird and comfy! I think, nostalgia aside, what's impressed me the most is that there's NO WEAR to this bed, the foam *or* the cover. Other than the seasonal shedding fur right now, it looks like it did the day I took it out of the box. I can't find human products that stand up to the beating our dogs give things, so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth out of this bed already. Knowing it's designed for 10 years of use just means I've invested in all of my dogs' health for a good while longer. I'm here today getting a Lg Sleek for our Rottie mix's crate. Knarly's bed did so well for him, and keeps going strong for for Kenny, that Firework gets one too.Becky Trainer

I’ve been buying beds for my big old man for a long time. He’s about 100lbs, and he’s 14 years old. Now he’s hurt and doesn’t walk well, so he spends the majority of his time in bed, and it’s even more important to have a good bed. To get a halfway decent bed, it’s usually about $150+, and I’m still disappointed. The memory foam is thin or goes flat. Some beds actually have thick foam, but they’re not memory foam, and they’re too dense and firm. The last bed I bought said that it was 5” thick with dual foam. It seemed nice enough when I sat on it, but exactly a year later, when I laid on it for an hour, my joints were all killing me. I felt almost like I had been lying on the floor. Every review said that this was hands down the best bed. I was really looking for something more in my budget, but I couldn’t find anything even half as good as this one, and I had just paid $180 for the other one, and had to replace it after a year! If I had bought this one a year ago, my pup would be happier, and I wouldn’t be buying another, so it’s a sound investment. I didn’t really have the money for it right now, and didn’t want my dog to have to wait for a new bed, but then I read that they offer Affirm, which acts like a payment plan! So I could have the bed now! I was sold. OMG, I’m so glad I bought it. This bed says it’s 7” thick. The old bed said 5”, but the Big Barker is at least twice as thick as the old one! I don’t know if the Big Barker measurements are modest, or if the other bed’s were inflated, or if that’s how flat it went over the year or what, but the Big Barker immediately exceeded my expectations. It’s super comfy – the right amount of support and squish. My dog is happy. It’s the best quality bed I’ve ever bought. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. This thing is going to last. Two things I would change, though. One, I wish the covers were available in green. My dog has become incontinent, so I wish that the outside cover was waterproof. I know they sell a waterproof membrane for the inside, which is good. I wish there was an option for a super tough, durable, waterproof cover. One of the beds I had before had that, and rather than having to constantly remove the cover, wash, and replace it, I could leave the whole cover on, and soap/hose it down really quick. It was also chew resistant (not a problem in my house, but sure kills two birds with one stone). Anyway, it’s fine, I wrapped the bed including the cover in a 6-sided waterproof encasement, and I have multiple waterproof blankets, so I layer one of those on the bed, and then put down a couple of washable waterproof pads too, so it’s protected. As such, his photos don’t show off the bed as well as they could.blackviolet

This is by far the BEST dog bed ever, especially for my two Great Danes. It fits perfectly in the crate I have, and both dogs actually choose to sleep in the crate when it’s in there because they love it so much. It supports over 300lbs of their body weight without crushing at all. I’ve bought other expensive dog beds, but nothing even comes close to this one. I also love the waterproof liner that they sell for this bed so that it stays fresh and clean underneath. Next I’ll be looking at getting their SUV travel bed!jennifer.j

I bought this two weeks ago for the back of my car. My 12 year old, 100 lb, rescue hurt herself in the ice a few months ago and we have twice a week visits for physical therapy. She always lays with her back half in the back of the suv and her front half on the area in between the front seats. The first time we used the new mat, she did just as usual for about 2 minutes, then scooted herself back onto the barker mat!! She loves it and we love that she gets up and out of the car easier! We love all our Big Barker products and more importantly the dogs rest easier and get up easier. A huge improvement in overall mobility for the 12 year old fur baby!! Thanks for a great product!!Lyd

After purchasing 3 of your beds, i knew i had to get one for my Suburban. We lost 3 of our dogs this year due to age/illness, so we now only have one lab left. (Just explaining why i have 3 beds) I didn’t realize the bed would make that big of a difference in my Labrador’s comfort level while riding in the car until I purchased the SUV edition. My lab, Sugar Pie, suffers from hip dysplasia and arthritis, but she loves riding along wherever we go. I put a dog bed in the car, but she continued to move around in discomfort during the rides. I took her on an hour ride to her holistic vets office Friday, and she did not move a muscle! I had to keep calling her name and craning my neck back at stop lights to be sure she was ok, as i was not used to her being so relaxed! She was fine, and subsequent rides over the weekend proved it. She was completely relaxed. I never knew that she was so uncomfortable all these years. I am telling everyone i know about this SUV bed along with our Big Barkers we have at home. The warranty alone is a big seller, but truly the comfort level is worth every single penny. Thank you for a top notch, well made, made in the USA product. WE LOVE IT!Dogmomdebra

We bought this cargo bed for our senior girl who loves to go on trips with us! We wanted to provide more comfort while traveling and this bed has gone above and beyond what we could have dreamed! We have a new car so protecting the sides of the cargo area was important. This bed has big side ‘wings’ that not only protect the vehicle but provide even more comfort for our girl. It came SO quickly after we ordered it and was vacuumed packed. Took only a few short hours to come to fully form and there were no smells or odors while it was filling out. The description and specs on the website made it super easy to purchase the right size! I definitely recommend measuring still but even so, they had my sub listed so I knew it would be a good fit. It ended up being perfect and we are so happy with this purchase, we will be getting a new bed for the home for her!! Having peace of mind knowing our girl is comfortable and it is helping her joints made this an easy purchase!! We highly recommend this brand and company, especially if you have medium to large breed dogs!! You won’t regret it! For reference: we have a 2020 Honda CRV and purchased the Large Backseat Barker: SUV edition.Leslie

I am very impressed with this dog bed. The cover is removable and can be washed in the washing machine. The fabric is also tough and durable.SophieW

Love this dog lounge. Dogs love it too ! It really complements my vintage style coastal decor. The lounge is excellent quality. It never seems to show any marks.Salena J

We just bought the Big Barker 4" Crate Pad for our 8 year old Labrador! He just loves it! I could hardly put it down and he was already crawling onto it! We had purchased the Big Barker 7" Bed with the headrest for him in 2020. And, Booker really likes that big bed. Booker had surgery for a Luxating Patella when he was 11 months old, and he also has hip dysplasia in both hind hips. Between his supplements and using the Big Barker beds, he is doing very well in spite of his health issues. We also chose to purchase the Waterproof Liners for both the Big Barker bed and the Crate bed. Because these beds are so amazing and will last so long, I wanted to have a waterproof liner for both. I wanted to be prepared for a dog who will eventually become a senior dog and wanted to avoid accidents on the beds. The covers are actually really good for that, but I wanted the extra protection. I have had 2 large dogs at once on the Big Barker bed numerous times and you can't even see any sagging at all. Yet the bed is very comfortable and great for dogs with orthopedic problems. Wish I had found these earlier. I wasted a lot of money buying dog beds every year because they fell apart or were not comfortable for my dog. Booker says "Thank you, Big Barker!!!"Kathy L.

We knew Henny was going to be big when we adopted him when he was four months old, but he ended up being way bigger than we thought he would be once he became one years old (he's a German Shepherd mix, but I swear he's bigger than all the pure bred German Shepherds around the neighborhood. Must be a XL breed in him somewhere). That means XL crate and XL beds. At first we tried the cheapest route, and got a smaller (at least small for Henny) bed/pad from Home Goods. But after a small amount of time and because of Henny's weight, the pad just flattened to basically nothing. Since we were still kennel/crate training him at night, we often heard him moving around to adjust. And when he adjusted, he would get up, twirl around, and then slam down loud and hard (we often thought something large fell in the house). Therefore, the bed/pad did nothing for that amount of impact. Also, although we don't know for sure, it's likely he has hip dysplasia based on certain signs. Eventually, we decided we should invest in a better bed/pad for Henny and looked online for the best. Big Barker beds were frequently on top lists, and after purchasing the Crate Pad, it makes sense why! Henny usually needs some form of an incentive to go in his kennel. But after only a few minutes of opening the box and putting the pad in the crate, Henny willingly walked in and laid on his new bed/pad. We also noticed that he doesn't move around as much at night, and even when he does, definitely no longer hearing a loud slam anymore. There are some things that isn't really the product's fault and shouldn't prevent purchasing, but it's good to be aware and mindful of. Henny threw up once in the middle of the night. It did slip off the top of the pad, but some of it got onto the tray. Eventually the throw up did soak through the zipper and into the foam. We washed the cover, put some baking soda on the foam to suck up the throw up, and it's all good. Henny is a determined chewer and likely has a small case of separation anxiety. We went to the gym for an hour once, and had put him in the kennel with the pad. When we came back, we saw that he chewed off and ate the Made in America tag and the rubber or silicone Big Barker tag that was on the bed. We should've known better, because he's done that with almost everything (he really specifically loves tags). But, he didn't mess with those for a while and we thought it was fine…but nope. Again, not the product's fault. Henny can destroy that most "durable" of things — the Xtreme Kong, hard natural rubber Goughduts toys, etc. So if you have a dog like Henny, maybe just cut those things off ahead of time. Thankfully, he eventually threw up the rubber/silicone tag. The crate bed/pad is really great! And we often see Henny just randomly deciding to go in his kennel to just lay down. I'm thinking we most likely will get a non-crate/kennel bed.msasorith

This is my second crate pad. The first one lasted over four years, but began to smell due to urine. This time I got the crate pad with a waterproof liner. My Ridgeback had joint pain at a ripe age of 2 years. He use to scream in ear piercing pain. He was in so much pain that he would avoid laying down as much as possible. So I researched the best bed I could find, and after a couple hours I stumbled upon big barker. Ever since I got him a big barker headrest, crate pad, and cosequin (max strength+MSM and HA) he hasn’t screamed since. He is now almost 8 years old, and loves his headrest and crate pad. You really can’t go wrong with a big barker. Except, If you have a destructive pup then look for a different bed. I’m glad that I got my big barker beds after my dogs went through their teething stage. However, I have an extremely destructive chewing puppy, and he loves sneaking on the headrest bed to lay on it and surprisingly hasn’t tried to eat it yet. It’s imperative, especially for large breeds, to have a good bed. Arthritis eats away on the bones such as rust eats away metal. Feeling confident that my dog isn’t breathing in material composed of carcinogens, and has no pressure points, definitely gives me peace of mind. When my puppy matures and stops eating everything in sight, I am going to get the two couch big barkers at the largest size and combine both of them so all of my dogs can sleep together. Thanks for creating the best bed ever! My dogs love their big barker beds so much! For those who are daunted by the price, think of it this way: I was spending $60 on a Kong bed per month, that equates to $720 a year, and that doesn’t even include tax. Their big barker headrest that I got almost 6 years ago looks the same as it did when I first brought it home. I have a waterproof liner for the headrest as well, and it’s keeping the bed from deteriorating. It hasn’t lost its firmness at all. The headrest bed is literally nicer than my bed. My bed is the memory foam with springs. A huge Thank you to Eric from my dogs and I! It’s nice to know that there are individuals such as yourself that go above and beyond to help dogs! The crate bed was able to get rid of Timbers Hygroma’s as well.Tibby007

I bought this for my lab-ish dog who is getting up there in years and isn't as comfortable on the floor. She LOVES it! It is big enough that she can sleep in a ball or stretch all the way out. The memory foam in the bottom takes 24 hours to expand before it goes in the bed. it is so thick and high quality. My dog likes to lay her head on things when she sleeps, so the bolster around the edges is really handy. My smaller dogs like to share it. I am really pleased with the bed, so are the dogs!Kaitlyn

Very thick padding on bottom of bed. It is actually several inches thick. Even with me sitting in it, I can't feel the floor. I think this would be great for older dogs due to the thick padding on base. The padding comes separate from the bed and when you unroll it, it increases in size. To assemble it, you just zip it in the bottom. The bottom base is rectangular and covers the whole entire bed at the bottom so no part of your dog is ever touching the hard ground. The bed is surrounded by thick bolsters and pretty flexible that the sides will move out if you dog wants to curl up or if they touch against the sides. My dog likes to use the side cushions as a head rest. I got the medium size for my dog who is a ~33lbs Shiba Inu. He's pretty big for his breed but it fits him perfectly when he decides to roll up in it and also he likes sleeping in it with his head up. Overall, its a great dog bed for a dog that likes to be snugged up and I think would be very supportive if your dog had hip/joint issues. I can see my dog using this a lot in the winter months and as he gets older.Autumn

My dog loves this orthopedic bed! We've tried a lot of different beds, but he loves the extra big cushions on this one. My dog is small (about 8 pounds), but I opted for this Medium size for him to be able to stretch out when laying on his side. It feels really high-quality, but still lightweight enough to move around the house. My dog likes to lounge in it during the day, but also snuggles up in it at night! I would highly recommend this for any small to medium sized dog who either likes to curl up against cushions for a safe feeling, or ones that like to rest their head on top of pillows.Victoria

The orthopedic dog bed Large size was perfect for my bulldog. She is six years old and has started having issues with arthritis in her back leg. She loves the memory foam bed and her limp has noticeably gotten less severe. I recommend the bed for anyone trying to help their dogs sleep better with support to their joints.rikkidick

Ok so I have 3 great Danes. I thought they would love these…I bought 4 of them..no. they won't go near them. … so why do I give them 5 stars… I use them for exercise mats! They are great! Also … my husband thought our mattress was too soft. I used a couple on his side under the foam mattress pad we have on the bed. They work great! Happy husband. Maybe not the conventional use for them but they work for me ! They are not hard but just firm. They still have cushion but also good support. So they work great as an exercise mat.Sheree

Although it is not 4" thick more like 2 1/2". It is a very nice quality mattress. Fits perfect in my fur-babies Kennel (She has the largest Kannel) Willow absolutely Loves her new bed! Thankyou!Willow's Mom

The bed is cute and sturdy, very well made (it can take my weight l). Looks like a little couch. However it’s not orthopedic. My dog already has a orthopedic memory foam dog bed from Sam’s Club and it’s way more comfortable. This bed feels lumpy and my dog prefers his memory foam mattress to the lumpy one on this dog bed. My only complaint it the mattress which is crap. It would have been perfect with it. Either way I’m out of approximately $100 for a fancy dog bed with a trash mattress that is so uncomfortable my dog won’t use it.Melissa

I needed something at least 11 inches high at the seat height so my dog could lay on it and see out the window. This is perfect and can be used with or without the backrest. I put a plush throw over the seat to make it softer and save wear and tear on the cushion. I did not want faux leather and was glad there was one that is all cloth. She loves it (so does my cat!) and I definitely recommend this pet chair!Stacie

Club Nine Pets Roma Orthopedic Dog Bed is all it says it is. Our dog has a new favorite place to hang out! She has a few years on her and hopefully, this will comfort her some. She sure seems to like it! I like that it is washable. We got large because she loves to spread out when sleeping. Happy dog, happy dog parents! She also loves that she can put her head up on the back lolRainDQ

Big Barker beds were frequently on top lists, and after purchasing the Crate Pad, it makes sense why! Henny usually needs some form of an incentive to go in his kennel. But after only a few minutes of opening the box and putting the pad in the crate, Henny willingly walked in and laid on his new bed/pad. We also noticed that he doesn't move around as much at night, and even when he does, definitely no longer hearing a loud slam anymore. There are some things that isn't really the product's fault and shouldn't prevent purchasing, but it's good to be aware and mindful of. Henny threw up once in the middle of the night. It did slip off the top of the pad, but some of it got onto the tray. Eventually the throw up did soak through the zipper and into the foam. We washed the cover, put some baking soda on the foam to suck up the throw up, and it's all good. Henny is a determined chewer and likely has a small case of separation anxiety. We went to the gym for an hour once, and had put him in the kennel with the pad. When we came back, we saw that he chewed off and ate the Made in America tag and the rubber or silicone Big Barker tag that was on the bed. We should've known better, because he's done that with almost everything (he really specifically loves tags). But, he didn't mess with those for a while and we thought it was fine…but nope. Again, not the product's fault. Henny can destroy that most "durable" of things — the Xtreme Kong, hard natural rubber Goughduts toys, etc. So if you have a dog like Henny, maybe just cut those things off ahead of time. Thankfully, he eventually threw up the rubber/silicone tag. The crate bed/pad is really great! And we often see Henny just randomly deciding to go in his kennel to just lay down. I'm thinking we most likely will get a non-crate/kennel bed.msasorith

This is my second crate pad. The first one lasted over four years, but began to smell due to urine. This time I got the crate pad with a waterproof liner. My Ridgeback had joint pain at a ripe age of 2 years. He use to scream in ear piercing pain. He was in so much pain that he would avoid laying down as much as possible. So I researched the best bed I could find, and after a couple hours I stumbled upon big barker. Ever since I got him a big barker headrest, crate pad, and cosequin (max strength+MSM and HA) he hasn’t screamed since. He is now almost 8 years old, and loves his headrest and crate pad. You really can’t go wrong with a big barker. Except, If you have a destructive pup then look for a different bed. I’m glad that I got my big barker beds after my dogs went through their teething stage. However, I have an extremely destructive chewing puppy, and he loves sneaking on the headrest bed to lay on it and surprisingly hasn’t tried to eat it yet. It’s imperative, especially for large breeds, to have a good bed. Arthritis eats away on the bones such as rust eats away metal. Feeling confident that my dog isn’t breathing in material composed of carcinogens, and has no pressure points, definitely gives me peace of mind. When my puppy matures and stops eating everything in sight, I am going to get the two couch big barkers at the largest size and combine both of them so all of my dogs can sleep together. Thanks for creating the best bed ever! My dogs love their big barker beds so much! For those who are daunted by the price, think of it this way: I was spending $60 on a Kong bed per month, that equates to $720 a year, and that doesn’t even include tax. Their big barker headrest that I got almost 6 years ago looks the same as it did when I first brought it home. I have a waterproof liner for the headrest as well, and it’s keeping the bed from deteriorating. It hasn’t lost its firmness at all. The headrest bed is literally nicer than my bed. My bed is the memory foam with springs. A huge Thank you to Eric from my dogs and I! It’s nice to know that there are individuals such as yourself that go above and beyond to help dogs! The crate bed was able to get rid of Timbers Hygroma’s as well.Tibby007

This seems to be a good dog bed. Be prepared…. it takes 3 to 4 days for it to “fluff up”. It comes rolled up and it was really flat considering the specifications said it was 4” high! Letting it set to fluff it took about 3 days for it to become 4” high. The cover is a bit loose but does not bother my girl, she really likes her new bed. I feel this bed was worth the money, she spends more time on her new bed than she did on her old one.Linda

We purchased 2 xl beds. They came wrapped in plastic and vacuum sealed. The directions said they should fully expand in 24 to 72 hours. We are on day 5, and one of the beds is almost fully expanded, but the 2nd bed is still very squished in the center and corners. We are following the directions and shaking them several times a day. Im beginning to think the 2nd bed may have to be returned/replaced. I will give it a couple more days, but it dosent look like it has made any progress in the last couple days.Brenda101

This is a well made dog bed. Easy to put together, very comfortable for my dog, stays cleaner than other dog beds, easy to remove and wash. I have a labrador retriever and initially got the large size, but exchanged it for the jumbo. The large size was a good size, but upon watching him sleep, i found out he likes to stretch out. Yes the jumbo size is very large and requires a lot of space in your room, but it is worth it to see him stretch out or curled up in his very comfy bed. A little pricey but he is worth it. I tried other beds and they are of inferior quality and won't last long. I highly recommend it. For your reference my dog is about 73 Lbs and measured 40 inches when laying down and lightly curled. Two dogs could fit in the jumbo bed if they decide to curl and lay next to each other. But not for stretching in a hot summer evening.Love Labradors 2

My 13 year old Lab was going for spirited 2 mile walks 4 months ago but alas, age it seems has finally caught up with my dearest and closest friend. His hips and knees have been noticeably troubling him, especially in the morning after a long sleep. He’s always had doggy beds but now more than ever I want him to be as comfortable as possible. This bed is FANTASTIC and my good boy loves it! He is 74 lbs but tall and lanky. The large measurements were too small for him, if you look in the picture the golden retriever in the large has zero room to stretch out. I am so glad I went with the XL. My sweet boy can lounge and stretch and get as comfy as his heart desires. I ordered the brown color but have a small blanket draped over it in the image. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase, the side pillows are icing on the cake, my boy is in high heaven!Babyduck

Great quality and fast shipping! My dog loves it! Literally got it the next day it was shipped! My dog is a 12 lbs shihtzu and I got him a small which is the perfect size. But, I would want it to be a little bit bigger so that there’s some extra space.Evvv

We absolutely love the way it looks in our living room and all of my dogs love it also. I originally bought it for my 13 year old dog but the two younger dogs are always trying to steal it from him. When my senior dog lays on it I notice that his hips seem to hurt him less than when he lays on the couch or floor. He is able to get up off of it much easier than the couch or floor as well. Usually he lays close to me while I sleep but lately I have been finding him sleeping on the puprug every night. Overall I'm super happy and would love to eventually get another one for my bedroom as well as a few other products. The price is very much worth it in my opinion.Shaylina R.

Amazing bed for my 70lb Doberman! Big enough for my 10lb Maltese to cuddle in comfort with her too!! She has hip problems and this seems to help her toss and turn less due to pressure points. They love the furry texture and like to dig and try and make a bed out of it. Durable material with no tears at all! Easy to travel with and fits in the back of my car for her comfort! Not to mention easy to clean!Audra W.

I bought this two weeks ago for the back of my car. My 12 year old, 100 lb, rescue hurt herself in the ice a few months ago and we have twice a week visits for physical therapy. She always lays with her back half in the back of the suv and her front half on the area in between the front seats. The first time we used the new mat, she did just as usual for about 2 minutes, then scooted herself back onto the barker mat!! She loves it and we love that she gets up and out of the car easier! We love all our Big Barker products and more importantly the dogs rest easier and get up easier. A huge improvement in overall mobility for the 12 year old fur baby!! Thanks for a great product!!Lyd

After purchasing 3 of your beds, i knew i had to get one for my Suburban. We lost 3 of our dogs this year due to age/illness, so we now only have one lab left. (Just explaining why i have 3 beds) I didn’t realize the bed would make that big of a difference in my Labrador’s comfort level while riding in the car until I purchased the SUV edition. My lab, Sugar Pie, suffers from hip dysplasia and arthritis, but she loves riding along wherever we go. I put a dog bed in the car, but she continued to move around in discomfort during the rides. I took her on an hour ride to her holistic vets office Friday, and she did not move a muscle! I had to keep calling her name and craning my neck back at stop lights to be sure she was ok, as i was not used to her being so relaxed! She was fine, and subsequent rides over the weekend proved it. She was completely relaxed. I never knew that she was so uncomfortable all these years. I am telling everyone i know about this SUV bed along with our Big Barkers we have at home. The warranty alone is a big seller, but truly the comfort level is worth every single penny. Thank you for a top notch, well made, made in the USA product. WE LOVE IT!Dogmomdebra

We bought this cargo bed for our senior girl who loves to go on trips with us! We wanted to provide more comfort while traveling and this bed has gone above and beyond what we could have dreamed! We have a new car so protecting the sides of the cargo area was important. This bed has big side ‘wings’ that not only protect the vehicle but provide even more comfort for our girl. It came SO quickly after we ordered it and was vacuumed packed. Took only a few short hours to come to fully form and there were no smells or odors while it was filling out. The description and specs on the website made it super easy to purchase the right size! I definitely recommend measuring still but even so, they had my sub listed so I knew it would be a good fit. It ended up being perfect and we are so happy with this purchase, we will be getting a new bed for the home for her!! Having peace of mind knowing our girl is comfortable and it is helping her joints made this an easy purchase!! We highly recommend this brand and company, especially if you have medium to large breed dogs!! You won’t regret it! For reference: we have a 2020 Honda CRV and purchased the Large Backseat Barker: SUV edition.Leslie

This is the greatest bed we've ever had for our old lab Dorothy. She's getting very slow and feeble in her old age and this bed helps her out so much. It's so solidly built, while also being nice and soft and supportive. Very good quality overall!Bill W.

The good reviews are new owners, they won't like them long term! The foam will mold underneath.
The $70 "waterproof" liners are NOT waterproof. A spill right in the middle of the XL bed went straight thru the cover and "waterproof" liner and got the foam wet. The foam does not dry out once wet!! I went on their website to order another "waterproof" liner thinking maybe mine is defective. I saw that it was $70 so I decided to look for a promo code.
They texted me that I left my item in the cart and here is a $25 promo code. I went back to use it and it didn't work.
I messaged them that it didn't work and they said it's because there's a $105 minimum. I told them that they messaged me saying they saw my cart and here's $25 off. All she said sorry for the inconvenience. I told her the liner isn't waterproof and instead of complaining I was going to order another one.
Her suggestion was to add more to my cart to use the code she sent.
I told her I was going to post screenshots and a review and she said, "okay, let me know if you need help"
Terrible customer service. I'm going to try and post the screenshots here since they won't let me on their Facebook page.Ja'Monique Long

My rescue pittie Brooklyn took to her new bed right away! She loves it. It's large enough for her to spread out. Thank you for making this bed. It is very well made and will last a long time.Cynthia T.

My two dogs, who are very particular about laying on blankets and pillows, both gravitated to this bed as soon as I put it out for them. They love the combination of the orthopedic bed with the soft and fuzzy plush covering on it and will stay there for hours, when they used to only curl up on the couch with a blanket with a human. Their immediate satisfaction with the bed was a very pleasant surprise and I cannot stress enough how picky my dogs are about where/what they lay on and how much they love this bed. This bed is a game changer!!Bojax2016

I ordered this after my 60lb Golden girl refused to leave my sister’s Golden’s bed over the holidays. My sister told me where she got it and I ordered my girl one immediately! It is a nice thick bed with a very soft cover. I got the beige/cream color, which has a little bit more yellow tinge to it than I’d like, but it still matches our home decor & her hair color the best out of the options. I got the Jumbo size which gives her plenty of room to sprawl out when she wants. I love that it has a little height on the sides for when she wants her head elevated. I haven’t needed to wash it, but the cover does come off, so I know it’s an option (but can’t attest to how well it holds up to a wash).CSally9

I liked this bed but my dogs do not seem to even after a few months. Not sure why but they're two small dogs and prefer to share one big bed their last one was soft and fluffy this one is harder and maybe that's it. I thought this one would last better than the soft fluffy and it sure will if they never get on it. Even the cover is harder more like canvas.TexasDeb

We have the jumbo plus at home, our lab has plenty of room for lounging around with her toys. Then we started traveling and she now has a jumbo for our Jeep/hotel rooms. She sleeps very well no matter where we are. I can vacuum the beds and wipe them down to keep them clean and fresh. The quality of the beds are great. On our second cover for the home one, amazing value for the money well spent.Cindy T.

We love this dog bed! I had been looking for a large dog bed for a while and saw this giant bed for our Bernese Mountain dog, who liles to stretch out when he lies down, but would hang over the sides of his old beds because they were never quite wide enough! The bed is orthopedic, which is great for our senior dog's joints. It's cool material, which keeps him cool because he doesn't feel the cold & gets too hot on fleecy lined beds. You can also remove the outer cover to wash it! Our dog loves this bed and he is quite fussy about what he sleeps on! But he loves rolling and stretching out on his giant bed! Best dog bed we ever bought and we've bought several over the last 10 years!Julie
