What materials are best for bolstered dog beds?
The best materials for bolstered dog beds include memory foam, regular foam and poly fill for the core and materials like plush, canvas and polyester for their covers. Look for a combination of supportive and cushioned materials for the core and bolsters and soft, but durable, materials for the cover. A machine-washable cover is also a good choice for convenience and easy care.
How often should you clean bolstered dog beds?
You should clean bolstered dog beds as often as necessary for comfort and hygiene. Vacuum excess hair off your dog's bed regularly and try to spot clean or machine-wash your bed or its cover whenever it appears dirty. Many experts recommend washing your dog's bolstered bed once a week, or at least every two weeks if it gets light use.
