We have compiled a list of top-rated, relatively cheap beds with different size options. Dog owners know that bed prices escalate quickly when looking at large or orthopedic dog beds. Discover great, reasonably priced places for your dog to lounge. Here are our picks for the best cheap dog beds.
This machine washable, polyfiber bed doesn’t get many points for style, but as a cheap and practical dog bed, it definitely does the job.
Available in seven sizes — 18, 22, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 inches — there’s a size for every dog from six pounds to 110. The bottom is coated in non-skid grip for use on hard floors or in a dog crate. There are three colors to choose from: the pictured gray, mocha and “CoCo Chic”.
Ideal for areas where a fabric bed could get wet or dirty, this elevated pet bed offers several benefits. For one thing, the fabric platform works like a real bed in that it takes pressure off of joints. If your dog is anything like my husky mix, who overheats at the slightest rise in temperature, this bed can also provide better air flow, keeping them cooler than carpet or a normal bed.
Choose from six color options, including green, light grey, dark grey, tan, blue, and red. There are three sizes with the following measurements:
Small: 35 by 22 inches
Medium: 42 by 25 inches
Large: 51 by 31.5 inches
These elevated pet beds are also used as cooling pet beds, and this is among the least expensive of them.
This Furhaven option is a definitely a solid deal for a nice all-around pet bed. Made of four inches of orthopedic egg foam, even heavy dogs will get some joint relief when they lay on it. The cover is removable so it can be machine washed.
For that cover, you get a choice of 15 colors and patterns to best match your decor. There are five sizes available in the following measurements:
This option features a removable, washable microsuede cover, which has a clean, modern look. The bed itself is three inches of shredded memory foam for excellent pressure relief.
Color options include Khaki, Red, Stone, and Teal. All beds come with a three year warranty. The seven sizes will accommodate most dog crates and dog sleeping styles. Measurements are:
This Milliard bed takes a slightly more elevated approach without being too much more expensive. The larger sizes are definitely getting up there in price, but the additional benefits may be worth it. While there are no color options, the velour cover is anti-microbial, waterproof, and has a non-slip bottom. It can not only be removed and washed, but they also make replacement covers if you should ever need one.
The padding comes from a two layer foam system. A two-inch foam base provides structure while another two-inch memory foam layer offers contouring support. The memory foam used is certified CertiPUR-US to be free of many harmful chemicals. There are four sizes in the following measurements:
Both of my dogs are mysteriously content to lay on the floor for long stretches of the day. I have hardwood floors, so you’d think they’d get sore and move, but usually not.
Still, when they do look for another place to lay, or when they’re in their crates, these thinner beds work great. They aren’t thick enough to offer orthopedic support, but will keep them off the ground and hopefully some of their fur off your floor.
It’s both reversible and machine washable and does offer a layer of padding for any hard surface. There are no color options available, but you can get a similar bed in taupe. Several size options include: 18, 22, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, and 54 inches.
Opposite the approach of the elevated bed that encourages airflow, this bed features a special material to keep pets warmed. The layer reflects body heat back toward your dog, keeping them cozy at all times — ideal for smaller, short haired dogs who might get cold easily. The “self-warming” feature means no electricity is needed and it’s just as light as any other pet bed.
The cover isn’t removable, but the bed is machine washable. The smallest size is a round “cat bed,” but would be perfect for small breeds. Including that one, the sizes are as follows:
This dog bed from Petmaker offers a combination orthopedic and memory foam construction across four sizes. The cover, which is available in gray, brown, or tan, is removable and machine washable.
This alternate offering from Furhaven gives you the luxury of choice. Not every variation of this particular model qualifies as a cheap dog bed, but the cradle construction makes this an excellent option with your choice of buy-in.
The best value is the orthopedic foam in sizes small through jumbo, all of which are comfortably in the realm of cheap. The larger sizes start to get pricey, as do the gel and memory foam versions, but even if you opt for those, they’re not too bad. I have three of these orthopedic foam ones in the Spruce Blue color and my dogs absolutely love them.
Speaking of colors, your full range of options is: Espresso, Camel, Spruce Blue, Cream, Chocolate, and Gray. You can order replacement covers – which are machine washable – separately to change the color later on, if you like. These are available in the following sizes:
BarkBox – yes, the folks who offer the subscription service – offer this memory foam dog bed which is very reasonably priced across the size range. The zippered cover for these is waterproof and machine washable, while the top layer of the foam is gel-infused for temperature regulation.
Choose from four decor and dog friendly colors: Espresso, Grey, Navy, and Sand. The sizes for this option include:
Here’s a simple, straight-forward option with just enough variation to meet almost any need. This is a quilted velvet dog mat that can work as a standalone bed or a crate liner.
A non-skid surface on the bottom keeps it in place and the entire thing is machine washable. That’s a good thing since the velvet is likely to hold onto fur, but better the dog’s own bed than your furniture.
There are four colors to choose from in black, green, red, and blue. Each is available in three sizes:
If you have multiple dogs and want them to feel a little special, you could try these personalized mat beds. You can get your dog’s name imprinted on these mats in your choice of six fonts, while the fabric is available in seven colors: purple, grey, green, maroon, beige, blue, or brown.
The small measures 15.7 inches by 23.6 inches, while large measures 23.6 by 31.5 inches. Thick enough to be used as a standalone mat for all but the sorest of dogs and machine washable.
If none of the other options on this list will work, you can go for this oversized pillow, which makes a great cheap dog bed. Ultimately, as I said, dogs aren’t altogether that picky. They’ll find a place that’s comfortable and plop down pretty much anywhere. My husky routinely sleeps directly on a hardwood floor.
There are two sizes available: 35 inches by 28 inches and the larger 46 inches by 35 inches. These will accommodate most dogs, but might be slightly overkill for your smaller breeds. In addition, you get to choose from the following colors: black, green, blue, burgundy, gray, green, khaki, or red. These are machine washable, but like all pillows, might require being puffed back up afterward.
With three sizes and a unique fuzzy look, these cheap dog beds from Paws & Pals are a great value. The long fibers provide a warm and comfortable place to lay and are a bit different than the short, shearling-style that most dog beds use.
These are available in beige, black, blue or gray, in the following sizes:
If all you need is a bed for inside a crate or carrier, it’s hard to go wrong with this AmazonBasics option. There are no color options for the fleece outer layer available, but it offers six sizes: 22, 29, 35, 40, and 46 inches.
The bolster lets your dog lay comfortably against the side of a crate. This would also work for giving them their own spot on the couch that isn’t directly on the upholstery.
