FAQs
Is the foam waterproof?
The bed includes a water-resistant inner layer to protect the foam, but the outer flannel/velvet cover is not fully waterproof.
Can I wash the foam core?
No, you should never wash the foam core. Use a damp cloth to spot clean it if necessary.
Is this bed suitable for destructive chewers?
While the materials are durable, this bed is not chew-proof. Always supervise pets if they are prone to chewing.
What are the primary materials used?
The bed features egg crate foam, soft flannel, velvet, and a durable Oxford fabric base.
How do I remove the cover?
There is a built-in zipper that runs along the side; simply unzip it completely to slide the foam core out for cleaning.
Is it good for dogs with arthritis?
Yes, the 4.0-inch orthopedic egg crate foam is specifically designed to provide cushioning and relief for dogs with joint issues.
Troubleshooting
Foam does not expand to full height
Allow the foam to sit for 24-48 hours in a warm room and gently knead it to encourage air flow.
Cover is difficult to put back on
Ensure the foam is positioned correctly within the liner and verify that all zippers are fully aligned before pulling the cover taut.
The bed slides on slick surfaces
Clean the bottom of the bed and the floor to remove any dust or debris, which can reduce the effectiveness of the non-slip material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the bed is straightforward: remove it from its packaging and allow the foam to expand fully for 24 hours before use. The bed is compatible with most interior design styles due to its neutral grey finish.
To care for the bed, unzip the cover and machine wash it according to the label instructions. The inner foam should never be submerged in water; if it becomes soiled, wipe it down gently with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the zippers to ensure they remain free of pet hair or debris to maintain a smooth operation.
