Give your dog the support he needs on the road with the Big Barker Backseat Barker Orthopedic Pillow Dog Bed. While you love to bring your dog along for the ride, those bumps and stops can be jarring on his joints. So this crate pad was created with top-of-the-line, Certi-PUS US foam that is calibrated to contour and mold perfectly to your dog’s body and relieve pressure points. The “pillow wings” provide extra support at the side in case of fast turns, with the added bonus of protecting your vehicle from dog hair and unsightly scratches. It’s easy to clean by throwing the ultra-soft microfiber cover in the wash, and it requires absolutely no installation!

The microfiber covers are water-resistant, but not 100% waterproof. Things like drool, licking or a wet dog coming in from the rain will NOT get through the fabric.
Microfiber is a very tightly woven fabric, so the "holes" are very very tiny. Drool, wet fur, etc will be blocked by the microfiber cover.
However - if you spilled a glass of water on the cover and let it sit for a long time, it WILL get through.
While most dogs love the bed right away, it's not uncommon for some dogs to take up to a few weeks before getting used to a new bed. Don't worry, almost all dogs fall in love with the bed, it just takes some dogs longer than others.
Here are a few tips that have worked for other dog owners:
Most importantly though, just give it time.
No, the cover is not made from chew resistant material. We use a furniture grade microfiber. It's "tear resistant" - meaning, it holds up better against nesting/digging than most types of dog bed covers. But dogs can chew through it if they're determined.
Our dog bed covers are machine washable. Wash on cold, tumble dry. Our microfiber also does not shrink. As long as you wash on cold & tumble dry, they can be washed 1,000 times and they won’t shrink by more than fractions of a millimeter. They’re also very easy to take on and off. Most dog beds just zip on a single side, but we use zipper around 3 sides.
The crate pad covers are also machine washable, however it’s easier to clean them with just a wet rag. Since they’re made with waterproof backing, don’t worry about getting the foam wet. If soiled, you can wipe with warm soapy water. Any dish soap will do. If you do choose to machine wash, use low heat. Dry on low for 10-15 minutes. IMPORTANT: Never use high heat settings in the washer or dryer, high heat will destroy the waterproof backing.
Machine washable. Wash on low heat, dry on low for no more than 10-15 minutes. Drying the liner on high temperature settings will destroy the waterproof backing.
The foam can be cleaned, but it’s a bit more hassle than washing the cover. If there’s ever an accident or a spill on the foam, what you want to do is soak the affected area thoroughly with warm water and dish soap. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then press out as much moisture as you can. Do not “wring out” the foam, because wet foam is very heavy and tears very easily. Leave it in a dry place. It might take a couple days to completely dry out, but when it does, it should be good as new.
The most important measurement is the width of the bed. What you want to do is have your dog stand up straight, and measure from the bottom of the paw to the top of the hip or shoulder. This is the amount of room that your dog needs to be in a full 100% stretch position. Compare that measurement to the width of our sizes. You'll want an extra 3-4 inches. For example, if your dog measures 25 inches, you'll do great with the Large, which is 30" wide. But if your dog is 28 inches, you'll want to bump up to the 36-inch wide XL. Note: the foam composition is the same between the Large, XL, and Giant sizes. All 3 sizes can easily support a 300 lb dog if they have to.

The photo made it appear that the bed would fill most of the back/trunk area of my car and it covers maybe half. I read the description and ordered the one that was listed for my model of vehicle, Ford Escape. I have 5 vizslas and I thought this would be great for when I take multiples, but it will barely fit one dog on it. Maybe if I ordered 2 it would fill the trunk? It's definitely not worth the price!
The crate liner from big barker is excellent. I’d recommend lining with those rather than this and maybe just using regular pillows for side cushions. The quality seems very cheap in comparison to the crate cushion which is excellent. Would not recommend this particular product from this brand.
I actually bought the wrong size first thinking a medium would be large enough for me 65 lbs Labrador. I have a 4Runner and realized a large was better as it covers the entire floor area in back and has the cushions on the side. I’ve tried so many combinations and think we finally have a winner. The material is soft but firm and it won’t slide around while driving. Really impressed and great color as well.
I purchased the Big Barker for the back of my Mazda CX-5. It fits perfect! It came shrink wrapped in a giant box, as soon as I cut the tape off it began to grow and plump up. Excellent quality, the padding is a few inches thick. The sides also come up enough to cover a majority of the trunk. Would absolutely recommend AND buy again.
My 83 lb pit and small Jack Russel were like kids at Christmas when the bed box arrived. They claimed ownership immediately. I am impressed with the high quality and firm support of the bed. I'm making a pvc divider to keep them in the Honda Pilot cargo area.They are going to love it.
We have a Honda Pilot. We got an XL. We’re ordering a medium now as well because then we can lay down all the seats and have this fit the entire back with all seats down. It’s comfy and our babies love it!
Plenty of padding and fits my Highlander perfectly.
My golden doodle loves this bed! As soon as I took it out of the plastic wrap and laid it on the floor, he took his throne. I purchased a size large and it fits perfect in my two door Jeep Wrangler with the back seats removed. Comfy road trips here we come!
This bed fits the back of my Subaru Forester perfectly. I love the bolsters on the sides. Comfortable for my dogs and keeps the dog hair contained. The best quality dog bed I have ever seen.
2020 Jeep Latitude Compass...it just go big guys go medium :)
