Making Your Decision
When to Choose Coolaroo Original Elevated
Outdoor dogs or dogs in warm climates who need airflow and easy-clean durability
The Coolaroo is a different category of dog bed — elevated, breathable, and virtually indestructible for cleaning purposes. Perfect for outdoor use, porches, or dogs that overheat. The trade-off is zero cushioning, so it is not the right choice for dogs with joint issues. But for durability and washability, nothing beats it.
Strengths
- Elevated HDPE fabric allows airflow underneath — ideal for hot climates and outdoor use
- Extremely easy to clean — just hose it off and let it air dry
- Powder-coated steel frame is highly durable and resists rust
Limitations
- No cushioning or foam — not suitable for dogs needing orthopedic support
- Fabric can sag over time under heavier dogs (100+ lbs)
- Some dogs dislike the elevated/hammock feel and prefer traditional beds
When to Choose Bedsure Orthopedic Dog Bed
Owners who want solid orthopedic support with waterproof protection at a mid-budget price
Bedsure hits a sweet spot between budget and premium — egg-crate foam with a waterproof liner and non-skid bottom at $45. The dual-layer foam provides better support than single-layer budget beds. The waterproof liner is a genuine differentiator for accident-prone dogs or puppies.
Strengths
- Egg-crate foam topper over solid foam base provides layered orthopedic support
- Non-skid bottom keeps the bed in place on hardwood and tile floors
- Removable, machine-washable cover with waterproof liner protects the foam
Limitations
- Foam density is mid-grade — heavier dogs may bottom out over time
- Waterproof liner can crinkle and make noise when the dog moves
- No bolster or raised edges for dogs who like to rest their head
