Choosing the right mattress for your needs | Dog Air Mattress Beds

For all the luxury air mattress beds afford us on camping and hiking trips and for all the health benefits for our aching backs and joints, there’s another family member who might be just as thrilled, given the opportunity, to sleep on one. I’m talking about your favorite, furry family member. I’m talking about air mattress beds for dogs. 

Right out of the gate you might have some concerns. For example, I owned a water bed in high school. I woke up one night, sopping wet and freezing after my dog punctured a hole in it. It was high time I got rid of the thing anyway (the bed, not the dog). So couldn’t the same happen with air mattresses for dogs? Fortunately, claw proof air beds for dogs will ensure you never suffer a puncture. 

With a variety of features available, air mattresses for dogs are a great consideration. Non-slip rubber feet, raised head-rests, warm and comfortable slip covers and adjustable firmness are just a few of the available options but there are a few things you might not have thought of in considering an air mattress bed for your dog. 

Just like us, dogs (particularly old dogs) can suffer aches and pains in their joints. Air mattress beds can provide welcome comfort by eliminating pressure points that would aggravate sensitive joints. If your dog has a firmness preference, simply add or remove some air. 

Another welcome benefit to canine air mattress beds is that they do not absorb odors. Where a foam dog bed can endure a few cycles with just its covers being washed or changed, eventually odors will penetrate to the foam insert. No amount of washing will remedy the problem. Washing or replacing the slip cover on a dog’s air mattress bed, however, will completely solve any odor problems. The vinyl air mattress will not absorb odors. 

So if your pooch is worth pampering (aren’t they all) or in need of a therapeutic bed, consider doing for them what you might well do for yourself! A variety of air mattress beds for dogs are out there for all breeds and sizes and your pup will certainly appreciate the gift.
