I bought our St Bernard a Tuff Mutts memory foam bed - v expensive but well worth it, waterproof canvas cover I've just taken off to wash for the first time and varying depths of foam available - we got him a 20cm deep for obvious reasons.Only thing ivr found is we might need to make a slatted wooden base to go under it for ventilation as it has gotten a bit mouldy lying flat against the laminate floor with a muddy, drooling, (farting, burping...) 73kg St Bernard sleeping on it most of the day and all night!

Hi Raceila,

I'd recommend memory foam mattresses - I have them for my little border as he has OA, and they definitely make a difference. You can buy cut off pieces from ebay and Amazon that are big enough for a dog bed. The ones I 've had a while were from PAH and they were memory foam chip with a sheepskin (fleece) cover, but I'm going to get him a piece of memory foam and put it under his cushion that's already in his bed as I've heard the solid peices of foam are even better. You can get different thicknesses too.

Hope your dog does ok...

Jill

My dogs have Tuffie mattresses http://www.tuffies.co.uk/

They have lasted 8 years so far and still look exactly the same as the day I bought them. The stuffing is firm but comfortable (I sit on them frequently). They also come with a variety of covers and are easy to clean but are expensive.
