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 FurHaven Quilted Orthopedic Sofa
Budget shoppers who want real orthopedic foam and a sofa-style design without paying premium prices
FurHaven delivers the best value in this comparison — genuine orthopedic foam with a removable washable cover at $30. The egg-crate base provides real pressure point relief that most sub-$50 beds lack. It will not last as long as premium options, but the price-to-comfort ratio is unmatched.
Strengths
- Egg-crate orthopedic foam base provides genuine pressure point relief at a budget price
- Removable, machine-washable zippered cover makes cleaning easy
- Three-sided bolster design gives dogs a sense of security and a place to rest their head
Limitations
- Foam density is lower than premium options — may compress faster for heavier dogs
- Not chew-resistant — determined chewers can destroy the cover and foam
- Bolster stitching can separate with heavy use over 12+ months
