How do I choose the right size for my own dog?

Choose the size primarily based on the dog's sleeping position and by comparing the bed's internal dimensions: S 42×27 cm, M 58×42 cm, L 82×63 cm. For example, S often fits a toy poodle, kleinspitz, or miniature dachshund, M fits a Shetland sheepdog, cocker spaniel, or Portuguese water dog, and L fits a Labrador retriever, golden retriever, Australian shepherd, or Dalmatian. Always leave plenty of room for movement and stretching and measure your own dog before ordering.

What makes this bed good for joints and recovery?

The firm, resilient filling distributes pressure evenly and does not flatten, so the dog can rest comfortably even after a long walk. The 3D-curled hollow fiber and polyurethane sticks maintain shape, supporting the back and hips. If needed, you can get additional orthopedic support with a compatible OrthoMattress mattress.

Does the bed stay clean in everyday use?

Yes – the cover is dirt- and water-repellent and very durable (upholstery fabric). The removable cover and inlett make weekly cleaning easier, and hygienic treatment helps keep odors and impurities under control.

Is this a good choice for a dog that digs or "makes the bed" before sleeping?

The cover fabric is designed for heavy use (very durable and scratch-resistant), so it withstands the dog's own bedding routine well. Still, direct digging to the blanket or a personal toy if the dog is especially enthusiastic.

Does the bed breathe or does it get hot in summer?

The filling materials use 3D-curled, siliconized hollow fiber that is airy and breathable, which helps dissipate heat in summer and insulates pleasantly in winter. The airy structure also dries quickly when aired.

How is the bed cleaned and maintained?

The cover detaches with a hidden zipper and withstands washing at 30 °C, the inlett at 60 °C. Dry in a well-ventilated place, avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Regular vacuuming and airing extend the lifespan.

Would the Sand (Sabbia) color suit a Scandinavian home?

Yes – the warm sand shade is easy to combine with light wood, linen, and natural tones. Sand hides everyday small hairs and stains better than pure light colors, and it brings a calm, hotel-like look to the living room.

How durable is the fabric really?

The cover is high-quality upholstery fabric that is very wear-resistant and colorfast. The fabric has excellent ratings for light and abrasion resistance, and the anti-pilling rating is 5/5 – a great combination of beauty and function.

Are safety and responsibility considered in the materials?

All materials used are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. The beds are handmade in Germany, supporting consistent quality and short supply chains.

Who is size S best for and when to switch to M?

S often fits small dogs weighing 4–6 kg that curl up to sleep, such as toy poodles, kleinspitz, or Italian greyhounds. If the dog stretches out on its side or likes to extend, choose M instead – comfort improves immediately. Always measure your own dog.

Who does size M work best for?

M works for many dogs weighing 8–18 kg, such as Shetland sheepdogs, cocker spaniels, Welsh springers, and slender Spanish water dogs. If the dog has a long body or sleeps very sprawled out, consider size L.

Who is size L made for?

L offers space for large breeds such as Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, Dalmatians, Dobermans (slender individuals), and Australian shepherds. If the sleeper has very long legs or shares the bed with another dog, measuring and extra space are key.

Does the filling stay fluffy or does it quickly flatten?

The filling combines 3D-curled hollow fiber and polyurethane sticks – the structure is resilient and recovers well, so the bed does not "flatten." Fluffiness is maintained by regularly shaking the inlett and allowing it to dry well after washing.

Can I upgrade the bed to orthopedic later?

Yes. Classic Belagio is compatible with the separately available OrthoMattress mattress. The upgrade is an easy way to add support for seniors or sporty active dogs without buying a new bed.

Can this also be used for a cat?

Yes. The soft, edged shape and firm support please many cats – especially the Sand shade blends beautifully with the decor. Choose the size according to the cat's preference and measure the favorite sleeping position to make the nest suitably "secure and snug."
