Overview

The Bedsure Orthopedic Dog Bed occupies a smart middle ground between budget basics and premium splurges. At $45, it delivers dual-layer foam — an egg-crate topper over a solid foam base — plus a waterproof liner and non-skid bottom. That feature set typically costs $80-120 from competitors.

The waterproof liner is the real differentiator here. While the FurHaven and MidWest rely on their covers alone to protect the foam, Bedsure wraps the entire foam assembly in a waterproof barrier. For puppies, incontinent seniors, or drool-heavy breeds, this single feature can extend the bed's functional life by months. The trade-off is a lack of bolsters — this is a flat-bed design that will not appeal to dogs who like to rest their head on a raised edge.

Features Deep-Dive

Dual-Layer Foam System

The Bedsure uses a two-layer approach: an egg-crate foam topper for pressure distribution, sitting on a solid foam base for structural support. This combination is more effective than either layer alone. The egg-crate surface conforms to the dog's body and creates airflow channels, while the solid base prevents bottoming out. The foam is not CertiPUR-US certified, which is worth noting for owners concerned about off-gassing. Most owners report a mild initial odor that dissipates within 24-48 hours of unboxing.

Waterproof Interior Liner

This is the feature that justifies the Bedsure's premium over the FurHaven. The waterproof liner wraps around the entire foam assembly, sitting between the foam and the removable cover. Accidents, drool, and moisture from wet fur stay on the liner surface and never reach the foam. Without this protection, foam absorbs moisture and develops odor over time — a problem that plagues every bed without a liner. The trade-off: the liner can crinkle audibly when the dog repositions, which bothers some light-sleeping dogs (and their owners).

Non-Skid Bottom

Hardwood and tile floors turn most dog beds into accidental sleds. The Bedsure's non-skid bottom uses a textured rubber-dot pattern that grips smooth surfaces effectively. It is a small feature that makes a significant difference in daily use — a bed that stays where you put it means less furniture rearranging and fewer startled dogs. The grip holds well for the first 6-8 months; after that, the rubber dots begin to wear smooth and the bed may start sliding again on particularly slick surfaces.

Pricing Analysis

At $45, the Bedsure sits $15 above the FurHaven and $20 above the MidWest. What that extra money buys is meaningful: a waterproof liner, dual-layer foam, and a non-skid bottom. Compared to the PetFusion at $120 or the Orvis at $169, you give up foam density, brand cachet, and build quality — but you get 80% of the comfort at 30% of the price. The Bedsure makes the most sense for practical owners who want legitimate orthopedic features without paying for premium materials they may not need. If your dog is under 60 pounds, the foam will last 12+ months. Over that weight, expect to replace it annually.

Who Is This For?

Bedsure Orthopedic Dog Bed works best for:

• Puppy owners who need waterproof protection during house training — the liner keeps the foam dry through accidents that would ruin cheaper beds
• Owners of drool-heavy breeds like Mastiffs, Saint Bernards, or Bulldogs, where moisture management is a constant battle
• Hardwood floor households where a non-skid bottom is not optional — the rubber-dot grip saves daily readjustment
• Budget-conscious shoppers who want real orthopedic foam with practical protective features without crossing the $50 threshold

Who Should NOT Use This

Bedsure Orthopedic Dog Bed might not be the right choice if:

• Your dog weighs 80+ pounds — the foam density is mid-grade and heavier dogs will compress through the egg-crate topper to the base, losing the pressure-relief benefit. Big Barker's 7-inch foam is designed for this weight class.
• Your dog needs a bolster or headrest — the flat-bed design has no raised edges. Dogs who prefer to rest their chin on something while sleeping will be better served by the FurHaven, PetFusion, or Orvis bolster designs.

Bottom Line

The Bedsure Orthopedic Dog Bed delivers the best feature-to-price ratio in the budget tier. The waterproof liner alone sets it apart from cheaper alternatives, and the dual-layer foam provides genuine support. For practical owners prioritizing protection and value, this is the sweet spot.

FAQ

Does the waterproof liner make noise?

Yes, there is a noticeable crinkling sound when dogs shift their weight on the bed. Some dogs are unbothered; others — particularly anxious or noise-sensitive dogs — may find it unsettling initially. Most dogs acclimate within a few days. If your dog is exceptionally noise-sensitive, the FurHaven (which has no liner) is the quieter option.

How thick is the foam compared to premium beds?

The Bedsure's total foam thickness is approximately 3 inches (egg-crate topper plus solid base). For comparison, the PetFusion uses 4 inches of solid memory foam, and the Big Barker uses 7 inches. The Bedsure provides adequate support for dogs under 60 pounds but will not match the sustained support of thicker, denser premium foams for larger breeds.

Can I buy a replacement cover?

Bedsure sells replacement covers through their website and Amazon. They run about $15-20 depending on size. Given the affordability, some owners buy an extra cover upfront to rotate during wash days, which also extends the life of each cover.
