What to Look For in a Dog Sofa Bed
Finding the right sofa bed for you and your dog isn’t just about looks. It needs to handle fur, paws, and the occasional muddy surprise while still feeling comfortable and easy to live with.
Here’s what to keep an eye out for before bringing one home:
1. Tight-weave fabric with washable covers
Go for good fabrics for sofa beds like tightly woven polyester or melange blends that resist snags and hide fur. Removable, machine-washable covers make cleaning easy after muddy walks or shedding season.
2. Real mattress comfort
Guest sleep should feel like a proper bed. Hybrid cushioning with pocket springs and foam gives medium-firm support for you and your pup.
3. Strong frame and firm edges
Jumping paws need a stable base. Look for solid timber or steel support and edges that don’t sag, so sitting, sleeping, and pet perching feel secure.
If you often share the sofa with your dog, storage compartments are a bonus for stashing extra blankets or pet essentials nearby.
4. Easy conversion to a pet-friendly lounge
The change from sofa to bed should be smooth and quiet, with reliable sofa bed mechanisms that move easily and safely.
Choose a setup with a comfortable seat height, so dogs can hop up without strain and you can stand up easily.
5. Cleaning access and smart storage
Raised feet or clear gaps make it easier to vacuum underneath and reach stray fur. Sofa bed storage keeps sheets, throws, or pet toys neatly tucked away and within easy reach.
6. Height that suits your dog
Sofa bed height matters, especially for smaller or older dogs.
A fold-out design suits pets better because it sits lower to the ground makes it easier for them to climb up and down safely, while taller pets are usually comfortable with standard sofa heights.
| Dog Size | Recommended Sofa Bed Height |
| Small dogs (toy to small breeds) | 20 – 30 cm |
| Medium dogs | 30 – 40 cm |
| Large dogs | 40 – 50 cm |
Tips for Sleeping on a Sofa Bed with Your Pet
Sharing a sofa bed with your dog can be cosy, but comfort takes a little planning.
Here’s how to keep the night restful for both of you:
- Use a washable blanket or cover. It protects the fabric from fur and makes cleanup faster the next morning.
- Give your dog their own spot. A small throw or cushion at the foot of the bed helps them settle without crowding your space.
- Stick to a bedtime routine. Calmer dogs mean better sleep, and a regular bedtime routine goes a long way to help them settle down.
- Keep water close by. A small bowl nearby saves you both from late-night trips across the house.
- Brush their fur regularly. Depending on your dog’s coat, a daily or weekly groom removes loose fur and keeps your sofa bed fresher for longer.
