Choosing a dog bed isn't something we take lightly — clearly. The right one should be cozy enough that you'd want to curl up in it yourself, easy to clean for those inevitable dirty paws, and stylish enough to blend in with your home decor. And, sadly, many of the options on the market don't check all of these very important boxes.
But as devoted pet parents and slightly obsessive shopping editors, we've got you covered. That's exactly why we pulled together this guide to the best dog beds on Amazon, including budget-friendly finds, elevated dog beds to keep them cool, editor-approved picks that pets love, styles that double as statement decor and investment pieces that rival the comfort of your own bed (yes, really).
Ahead, we've rounded up 11 of the best pet beds on Amazon that you need to know about, some of which your cats might even want to cozy up in, too. We've found an under-$20 option with thousands of five-star ratings, a chic one that has a corgi's seal of approval, a human-sized dog bed you can lay in with your pet, and plenty more that you'll want to check out.
Best Dog Bed For Small Dogs (or Cats!)
Nisrada Cat or Small Dog Bed ($15, originally $19)
Whether you've got a small dog (think: a mini dachshund or a chihuahua) or a cat, this washable, round bed is sure to be a hit. And it's not just for tiny pets — it comes in larger sizes, plus over 15 color options to match any decor. With thousands of five-star ratings, it's an undeniably budget-friendly favorite.
Best Kennel Pad
Ksiia Washable Kennel Pad ($22, originally $25)
This kennel pad has thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon and holds the top spot among all dog beds on the site. Shoppers rave about how thick, soft, and comfortable it is, perfect for adding extra coziness to your pup's safe space. Plus, it comes in multiple sizes to fit different crates, but, of course, you don't have to keep it in the crate. It works just as well as a cozy spot for them to curl up anywhere in your home.
Best Elevated Dog Bed
Lesure Elevated Raised Outdoor Dog Bed ($24, originally $35)
Elevated pet beds are perfect for warm weather, keeping your pup off the hot ground and resting on breathable material that promotes airflow. They're a great choice during the summer months — or if you live in a warm climate year-round — and this adorably stylish checkered option makes it hard to resist adding to your cart.
Best Couch Bed
Blunique Dog Couch Bed ($35)
This dog bed is a genius investment if your pup has claimed a permanent spot on the couch. It makes their favorite hangout even cozier while saving your sofa from claws and fur. It also has a nonslip backing that stays put and when it needs a refresh, you can just toss it in the washing machine.
Best Aesthetically Pleasing Dog Bed
Bedsure Dog Bed ($50)
One of our editors and their pup are obsessed with this dog bed for its stylish design, thoughtful features, and cozy comfort. It's available in four sizes to fit all dogs, plus it comes in five chic color options to match any decor. And because it's designed by a bedding brand, you can even match your dog bed to your comforter, which our editor didn't hesitate to do. Learn more via our Bedsure Corduroy Fleece Pet Bed review.
Editor Quote: "The Bedsure Corduroy Fleece Pet Bed's design and features are next-level. It seriously has everything I could want in a pet bed, both for me and for Cooper. For him, it has raised sides that are perfect for resting his head, plush filling that I'd lie on myself if only it were human-sized, and a nonslip bottom to keep it in place. I appreciate the removable, washable cover that I toss in with my laundry each week, the easy-carry handle for moving it around, and the ribbed design that adds a touch of fun texture to my bedroom." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping
Best Donut Dog Bed
Lesure Donut Large Dog Bed ($62)
If you're a dog owner who frequents TikTok, you've probably already come across (and swooned over) this viral bed. Its donut-shaped design gives your furry friend the perfect snuggle spot and it has raised edges that double as a headrest. Plus, it comes in playful patterns and vibrant colors, like the calming cloud design pictured here.
Best Orthopedic Dog Bed
Furhaven Orthopedic Dog Bed ($75)
Amazon shoppers love this orthopedic dog bed, especially for large pups who love to sprawl out or have mobility concerns. It's designed with thick, plush fabric that cushions, and its low profile means no need for jumping in and stressing their joints. Many reviewers mention how their dogs love using the contoured side as a pillow. Plus, the cover is removable, so you can easily keep it fresh and clean.
Best Chew-Proof Dog Bed
K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Armored Padded Dog Crate Pad Bed ($139)
K9 Ballistics (and plenty of Amazon shoppers) swear that this dog crate bed can handle even the most determined chewers. While the brand also offers cozier pillows and plushier styles, their line of chew-proof beds — like this one — is perfect for pups who've shredded softer options before.
Best Memory Foam Dog Bed
Casper Dog Bed ($139)
You probably know Casper for its human mattresses, but did you know the brand also makes dog beds? They're a hit with two pets of one of our former assistant editors: Pickle, a Chihuahua, and Jiji, a ragdoll-mix cat. She admits the price is a bit of an investment, but it's transformed all their sleep routines for the better. While her pets aren't big scratchers, reviewers on Amazon have praised the removable cover's durability, which can reportedly stand up to even the most enthusiastic diggers. Read more in our Casper Dog Bed review.
Editor Quote: "While the price point of Casper's dog bed is certainly steeper than many would consider for their pet's sleeping situation, I'm a convert. Trust me on this: since receiving the bed, there have been serious changes in my animal family members' sleep patterns. If $139 means fewer 4 a.m. get-in-my-face-and-meow sessions or crazed midnight sprints around the living room, it's a price I'm willing to pay! Even though Pickle and Jiji are the ones sleeping on a heavenly foam mattress, it's affected my own slumber for the better." — Brinton Parker, former assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
Best Human-Sized Dog Bed
Plufl The Original Human Dog Bed ($250, originally $299)
This dog bed was technically made for humans to lounge (yes, you read that right), but that doesn't mean your pup won't love snuggling up in it with you. One of our editors got it for her TV room and often binged shows in it alongside her corgi. Learn more via our Plufl Human Dog Bed review.
Editor Quote: "The Plufl Human Dog Bed has become one of my favorite places to snuggle with my dog. My husband and I placed it in our TV room and have frequently been choosing it over our sectional (which is equally comfortable, by the way). The Plufl is undeniably soft and comfortable to lie in. It features 360-degree pillow bolsters that both my corgi and I love to rest our heads on, a plush cover comparable to a luxurious blanket, and an orthopedic foam base and memory-foam topper that rivals my Ikea mattress." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping
