How do I choose the right size for a small, medium, or large dog?

Size S (internal dimensions 47 × 27 cm) is suitable for conveniently sized dogs such as Jack Russell, toy poodle, and Bengal cat. Size M (58 × 42 cm) offers space for a Mittelspitz, Basenji, or Maine Coon. Size L (82 × 63 cm) is a comfortable choice for a Labrador Retriever, female German Shepherd, or Norwegian Forest Cat. Always leave a little slack so the dog can stretch its paws, and measure your pet's sleeping length before ordering.

What makes the Ortho Buffalo bed gentle on joints?

The mattress's intelligent, multi-layer structure combines pressure-relieving SleepTech gel and breathable special foam, which adapt to the natural curves of the spine and relieve pressure from shoulder and hip joints. This reduces morning stiffness especially in older dogs and breeds that often sleep on their sides, such as the whippet.

How does SleepTech gel differ from regular memory foam?

SleepTech adapts to position changes faster, so an actively turning corgi or Bengal stays comfortable without a “sinking” feeling. Additionally, the gel breathes better, so a hot-blooded dog does not move to the floor to cool down.

Would the bed also suit a large cat, such as a Maine Coon?

Yes – the high, soft edges provide security and the back support reduces joint strain in large breeds like Maine Coon and Ragdoll. Choose size M or L depending on the cat’s full-grown length.

How breathable is the bed in hot weather?

The mattress’s open-cell structure and Tencel cover circulate air more efficiently than traditional foam, helping heat-sensitive dogs like Labradoodles stay cool without sweating.

How do I wash the covers and inner materials?

Remove the covers with the zipper and machine wash at 30 °C, fillings at 40 °C, and the OrthoMattress at 30 °C. The cover fabric repels water and dirt, so usually a quick wipe with a damp cloth is enough.

Do I need to worry about stains or paw prints?

The fabric is tightly woven, dirt- and water-repellent, and treated with stain protection, so even muddy paws can be wiped off without permanent marks – convenient when both a poodle and a family with children walk around the home.

Is the mattress good for dogs that change positions often?

Yes. The gel foam recovers in under a second, so for example a beagle or Australian Shepherd gets even support in every sleeping position without dips in the mattress.

Can I update the bed’s appearance when the decor changes?

All covers are replaceable; you can get different colors with the same frame or switch to Classic model covers without a new mattress. This way the bed adapts to living room color updates.

Does the bed retain its shape after years of use?

The Eco Comfort filling is elastic, silent, and antibacterial, and the mattress foam has been tested against abrasion and light resistance. The result is a shape that does not collapse even with daily naps.

Is size L enough for a senior greyhound?

The internal size of L (82 × 63 cm) gives a long-backed greyhound room to stretch out comfortably with its side straight, while the high edge provides support for neck-resting positions. However, measure the sleeping length from ear to tail tip and compare to the internal space.

Is it advisable to start with size S for a puppy?

Size S is ideal for a miniature schnauzer or corgi puppy, and the edges create a safe, nest-like feeling. When the puppy grows, you can move the mattress to the dog room as a spare bed and upgrade to size M.

What is the difference between Eco Comfort filling and OrthoMattress?

Eco Comfort is an airy, elastic basic padding for everyday naps, while OrthoMattress specifically relieves joint and back problems by providing pressure-distributing support. The package includes both, so you can choose according to the situation.

Which color hides hair best?

Anthracite hides dark hair, while Taupe and Caramel camouflage sand and light brown shades – ideal when a golden retriever lounges on the sofa, for example. Cream light is Scandinavian bright but requires wiping a bit more often.

Do I need a separate protector for urine leakage?

If a senior dog or cat has occasional accidents, choose the CoolPlus mattress protector sold as an accessory, which prevents moisture from soaking into the bed and makes quick washing easier.
