Searching for the world's greatest dog bed

[tink_n_pooh]

I want to find the best dog bed I can for my Champ, our 80 some pound Boxer. I'm looking for a bed for his crate (rectangle shaped) that can be washed and rugged enough to hold up for awhile. It seems every bed we get either gets all funny shaped or smells funny after a few weeks despite washing. Any ideas?

Our dog prefers the "Sleep Number bed" from Select Comfort. It's pricey, but in a pinch humans can also use it.

My dog just has an old comforter in there that I wash every two weeks or so. They last a year and then he gets another old one. We just had a lot of old comforters and haven't used them all up yet. I guess when we do, I'll pick some up at garage sales or something.

The beds all have foam in them and that makes them hard to wash.

I posted this very question a couple weeks ago - and got great advice. I ended up ordering an Orvis bed on the advice of AKLRULZ. Our dog is 90 pounds and I got the 42" round bed cedar filled. It's great - the dog loves it, it smells nice and has kept shape so far. They make rectangle ones too. Shipping was cheap - $8.99 and it came in about a week. Good luck!

I checked out the Orvis pet beds online and they look good, I think I might get the one with the cedar in it as well. They are a little pricey but its worth it if they are that good. Thanks!

I need one that my dog won't EAT. It's my dog's mission in life to get the stuffing out of anything stuffed: bedding, stuffed animals, etc. Drives me nuts, so she just doesn't get a bed in her crate, she gets old blankets.

Our collie has the LLBean dog bed and it is wonderful! They have ones filled with cedar or polyfill, and the cover comes off for easy washing. He's had it for 7 years and it still looks great!
