A donut dog bed has a round shape with raised sides. This design often suits dogs who like to sleep curled up or rest their head against a soft edge. However, a soft dog bed isn’t right for every dog. The wrong size, difficult cleaning or a slippery base can quickly make your purchase disappointing.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I focus on features you can check: dimensions, materials, washing options and stability. That way, you can compare plush dog beds based on practical details rather than appealing marketing claims.
A 70 cm dog bed sounds spacious, but the raised sides take up some of the sleeping area. Measure your dog while they’re lying stretched out, then allow extra room for turning and stretching. A 70 or 80 cm bed may suit small dogs; larger dogs often need a 120 cm bed.
Check the height, too. A side that’s around 20 cm high can create a cosy, sheltered sleeping space, but it may be difficult for some dogs to step over.
When a dog bed has a washable cover, this usually doesn’t mean the whole bed can be washed. Often, you can unzip the cover to remove the central cushion or inner filling. You can then hand-wash or machine-wash the cover according to its care label. For several models, the inner filling is only suitable for airing or spot cleaning.
Before buying, check:
Rubber dots on the underside can help stop the bed sliding on a smooth floor. However, they won’t prevent every kind of movement, especially on a wet floor or if the bed is smaller than your dog. Place the bed on a flat, dry surface and check that the anti-slip base makes full contact with the floor.
A round dog bed is especially suitable for dogs who like to curl up. Measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail, then allow extra room to move. When choosing a large dog bed, the diameter isn’t the only important measurement: check the available space inside the raised sides, too.
Product information for several models describes the 70 cm bed as suitable for small and medium-sized dogs. The 80 and 90 cm models are also aimed at medium-sized dogs. According to their product descriptions, the 120 x 20 cm options are designed for large dogs or households with multiple pets.
Many models have a plush or fleece outer layer and PP cotton filling. Plush feels soft and can be comfortable for dogs who like to rest against a raised edge. PP filling gives the bed shape and bounce, but it may need regular plumping if the bed arrives vacuum-packed.
A soft dog bed isn’t automatically suitable for a dog who chews a lot. Check the seams, zips and loose threads regularly. Stop using the bed if the fabric tears or the filling becomes visible.
A dog bed for a crate should fit properly without blocking the door or ventilation. Measure the inside of the crate and compare it with the bed’s outer dimensions. A 120 cm model won’t fit every crate, even if it’s described as a crate bed.
For everyday use, a removable cushion and a cover that can be washed according to its care label are practical advantages. Let all washed parts dry completely before using the bed again.
Why it suits this profile: With a 70 cm diameter and a recommendation for small and medium-sized dogs, this is a straightforward starter option if you’d like to try a round bed first.
The central cushion insert can be removed using a zip. The product information also mentions rubber anti-slip dots on the underside.

Why it suits this profile: This model combines a plush fleece finish with a round shape and a removable inner pad, making it a good choice for households that prioritise easy care.
The product description distinguishes between the washable insert and the inner core. This makes it clear that you should follow the care label and not put the filling in the washing machine without checking.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the relevant European safety regulations.
The raised sides can create a sense of cosiness and suit dogs who like to lean against something. Product descriptions therefore often describe the donut design as calming. However, that doesn’t mean it will work for every dog. Introduce the bed gently with a familiar blanket or toy, and see how your dog responds.
Its lifespan depends on how it’s used and washed, as well as your dog’s chewing habits. Plump the bed regularly, follow the care label and check the seams, zips and filling. If the bed is torn or the filling is exposed, replace it to prevent your dog swallowing any material.
For several models, you can remove the central cushion or cover and wash it according to the care label. Only wash the inner core if the product information specifically says you can. If in doubt, spot-clean and air the bed instead. After washing, check that all parts are completely dry before your dog uses the bed again.
