Recommendations for a new bed for Nachodog?

[ItsNachoCheese]

Posting here for traffic. Nachodog is an almost 9yo lab x staffy and he needs a new bed as the mat i had for him has finally given up and is done now. I want one with decent support as hes getting on a bit. He has a plastic bed upstairs with pillows etc in it for when he isnt in my bed. The living room bed needs to be fairly durable as he is a chewer and is prone to ahem humpy episodes 😂. Any recommendations will be greatly recieved. Here he is to see the size of him

Ortis beds are brill but pricey, my dog loves hers, had to tip it up last night to get her out of it

How pricey is pricey? Im scared to ask 😂

Would a cot or cot bed mattress be an option? We used these for our lab - not expensive (especially if used by a child before) and very supportive

Buy a memory foam offcut (I got mine via 3rd party seller on Amazon) and a waterproof dog bed cover. Make your own bed for a fraction of the price.

I got my boxer this, he's nearly 9yrs old and he's very happy

We have a Great Dane who can destroy a normal bed inside of a month, we bought her a raised dog bed from HiK9. It has lasted over 2 years now and you can buy replacement cover mesh should you need to. It took her a few days to get used to it, but it is easier to get on and off than a bed on the floor, and is easy to keep clean. They are not cheap, but cheaper than regularly replacing bedding

YY to the memory foam offcut and the bed cover. I got a fleecy cover from Tuffies to fit over a thick mattress for my elderly dog but they do chew-resistant ones too. Not the cheapest, but cheaper than replacing Pets at Home cushions that are easily ripped and go lumpy in the wash bitter voice of experience

Dog LOVED it. It was so comfy she even preferred it to the sofa. Which is saying something.

calon wheres best to get the memory foam offcut?

I ordered a chunk from this place, thefoamshop but I think you can get it from Amazon or other websites. I see from Googling that Silent Night are even getting into the dog bed racket!

Have a look at Coolaroo beds, they might work for him.

I have a large GSD and as well as a coolaroo she has a large foam sofa seat cushion that I made a waterproof cover for from shower curtains and then removable cloth covers for washing. I got the foam from Abakhans for about £10.

In typical GSD she sleeps on the floor next to the bed.
