Discovering Comfort with the Tuft and Needle Dog Bed

Just wanted to chime in on the Tuft and Needle dog bed discussion. We’d been through many a bed here, before we got Max his Tuft and Needle one about a year ago. He’s a bony old labrador, always had trouble settling in for his naps due to discomfort.

I can’t tell you how much of a difference this bed has made! It’s got the right amount of firmness, y’know, doesn’t just collapse under him like some of the fluffier beds do. Seen significant improvement in how comfortably and long he sleeps now. Plus… total bonus… it’s crazy easy to clean up!

Anyone else find the cleaning process this simple? Or am I just really bad with other beds? 😂 Anyway, highly recommend this bad boy to anyone with dogs dealing with joint or comfort issues.

P.S. @GoldenDaneLover44 – have you tried removing the cover and washing it separately like the instructions say? Makes it so much less daunting.

The bed is durable even with my Lab’s monster digging rituals before bedtime annd so far I’m impressed how it stands up to his repeat ‘excavations’, haha! Plus, it doesn’t have that off-putting chemical smell some new dog beds come with which was a relief. My golden especially loves it cause of its foam, makes his arthiritis way more manageable.

In terms of cost effectiveness compared to other high-end dog beds -> Well worth it. So if you’re on the fence about buying one, jsut go for it imho.

I’d love to hear form others – Has anyone tried placing heating mats under theirs for added warmth during winter months? How did your dogs react? Did they enjoy the extra coziness or was it too much?

Have you guys tried the Kong Chew Resistant Dog Bed? A little pricier but Sunny hasn’t made a dent in this one so far and trust me she’s given it a good go! Any other chew-proof suggestions from you seasoned dog owners out there?

Comparing it to the Kong Chew Resistant that was mentioned earlier…well there’s definitely differing advantages Gus was always making mince meat out of his beds, but surprisingly he hasn’t made a dent in his Tuft and Needle – maybe its just too comfy to destroy?

Anyone else noticed their heavy-chewers give this bed a pass for destruction? Why do yer pups think of the tuft and needle compred to other bed brands?

The Kong Chew Resistant is definitely durable and stands up to some serious gnawing (trust me, George has gone through his fair share of beds), but I feel it doesn’t match up on the comfort level compared to Tuft and Needle’s.

I’d say if your Oscar is a vigorous chewer, maybe the Kong might stand up better over time compared to Tuft & Needle. But for a good balance between coziness and durability, T&N hit the nail right on the head (at least in George’s case). Don’t know about others but so far no signs of wear or tear here!

Hope that helps somewhat? Anyone else with more experience on Tuft & Needle vs Kong?

Recently I tried spraying some calming substances you can find at pet stores on the new bed, and well… let’s just say that was the first night she slept fully settled in her new Tuft bed. So, for those whose pups are resistin’ like mine did, maybe give this little trick a try? And for all you seasoned pup parents out there – any more tips to help Roxy love her new bed even more?
