Saying that tho, since getting my more energetic border collie, I realized he wasn’t too keen on the memory foam feeling. Couldn’t get him to stay put on it – he preferred the good ol’ soft but firm cushion-feel doggie bed we got previousy.
I guess just be sure about what sort of sleeper your pupper is before splurging on a tempurpedic. Have any of you had similar experiences with more… hmm… “particular” pooches? 😉
I too made the switch to a tempurpedic bed for my old golden retriever, Marley. He’s got some joint issues and I definitely noticed he sleeps better now. Funny enough, He took immediately to the firmness but my younger border collie, Luna, didn’t dig it at all!😄 Anyone else had this happen? Maybe it’s a breed thing? Anyway, worth every penny for Marley’s extra Z’s – Luna will stick to her old fashioned pillow bed though.
I’ve started using a cooling mat on top during hotter months, something to think about if your pup runs hot like Max. Also while I definitely see benefits (heck, I even nap on it sometimes – darn comfy those beds are!), I wonder if there might be equally good options out there that don’t heat up as much? Any suggestions?
I’ve noticed something a bit odd recently though. We live in a pretty hot area and even with the AC cranked all the way, Bella seems to still get uncomfortable on her bed during the day time. The idea of adding a cooling mat piqued my interest – Any brands you guys would suggest? Or does anyone have any alternative solution too keep things chill for our fur kids?
Edit – apologies about the typos, typing with one hand while coordinating a doggo play-date isn’t easy! 😅
Here’s a curious alternative we stumbled upon – orthopedic dog beds filled with ‘shredded memory foam’. They feel pretty similar to Tempurpedic in terms of support and they don’t seem to retain heat as much. Have any of you tried those? Would really love to hear about your experiences if you have!
Also, side note – did I alway could have done this? But did anyone else feel like thier pup acted a bit out of sorts adjusting to the new feel of the bed at first?
Bit concerned about the memory foam though, does it hold up well in the heat? I’ve heard some stories of it getting kinda misshapen? Any advice would be super cool!
Also totally digging the concept of orthopedic dog beds with shredded memory foam too. Has anyone here tried those? Would love to hear more experiences. Thanks, guys!
But on the question of heat absorption – remember guys, no matter what kind of bed you have, if your dog is feeling too hot, they’re more likely to just sleep on the floor anyway! So much for expensive beds, eh? 😄
Regarding the heat concern, so far we haven’t really noticed any significant overheating from the bed, but just like anything else, it’s crucial to keep the room temperature regulated during peak summer. Honestly, I hesitate to go back to regular beds now. It’s pricier for sure, but seeing how much more comfy my pooch seems, totally worth every penny! What do you guys think? Did anyone encounter different experiences with these beds?
Some of you’ve mentioned how expensive they are, and I totally get that worry. When I first looked at the price tag I almost choked! But decided to bite the bullet as me pal was struggling with his sleep.
And.. there are cheaper alternatives out there. Have any of ya tried memory foam beds from other less well-known brands? Our neighbor swears by one she got from an online store which cost her less than half of what Tempur’s asking!
Always remember tho, it’s not just about the brand or cost – your pooch needs to be comfortable and like it too. Atleast, mine, stubborn as he is, took a whole week to get used to the new bed, lol . So make sure you keep receipts and return policies handy just in case!
Would love to hear anyone’s experience with alternative brands! Any recommendations for budget-friendly yet comfy dog beds?
I totally understand where you’re coming from with the Tempurpedic dog bed. I mean, they scream luxury annd our furry friends deserve nothing less, but that price tag sure does sting the pocket. When I was faced with a similar conundrum, I ended up opting for something different.
I found this really awesome orthopedic bed (it wasn’t a Tempurpedic tho), and let me tell you, my golden retriever Sammy absolutely LOVES it – not to mention it was quite reasonably priced! It’s made a significant difference in his comfort, especially since he’s getting up there in years.
Anyways, just thought I’d share an alternative considering the cost hurdle associated with Tempurpedic beds. Anyone else out there discover other comfy alternatives for their best budds?
Jake, my 6-year-old golden, absolutely loves it. He just sinks in and falls sound asleep within minutes – something I never saw him do on the previous foam bed he had.
To anyone worrying over the price tag, well- worth considering it as an investment in your fur baby’s comfort and health. Trust me, the peace of mind you’ll get seeing how well they sleep on it is priceless… Anyone else see a big change in their pup’s sleeping habits after making the switch?
all, back with my experiences again – I just made the switch too! 😉 My old beagle Ruff has arthritis and this tempurpedic dog bed has been a major relief for him. He literally buries himself in it and snores away all day. No more tossing and turning on those hard beds.
But I’ve noticed that some dogs like Jake might prefer a firmer surface – my other pup, Bailey, isn’t a big fan of sinking into the bed. So might not work for every furry friend out there!
Has anyone else found a good non-foam alternative for dogs who prefer firm beds? 🐾 I’m open to suggestions! I agree it’s a game-changer, but let’s be there for our firm-bed loving pals too! 😄
