aBC4me Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay, Blaze has decided that his bed is now too lumpy to sleep on and he now moves from our bed, to the floor, to the living room and back to each, all night long. A lot of the time he doesn't wake me but the times that he does I of course am frustrated, and don't want to be. I want to get him a good bed and wouldn't mind one that will not hold the hair as much. (if one truely does exist) Any ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 We have used Quiet Time beds for several years, and are very pleased with them. The style we use comes in various sizes with bolsters around the perimeter, and is ideal because it is sized to standard cage sizes so that the dogs can sleep comfortably in their "dens" at night.

nowwown Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I bought a wonderful bed from Costco.com this summer, he LOVES it and can't stand it if I pick it up to move it anywhere or even touch it. It's really good quality, well priced and the price on Costco.com includes free shipping. http://www.costco.com/Browse/ProductSet.as...topnav=&s=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoku's mum Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sounds like it's not the bed that is the problem. Maybe you should crate him at night till he gets the idea that you don't roam around all night and wake everybody up. Make sure his crate bed is comfy, like the ones Bustopher suggested.

aBC4me Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well he has been sleeping outside of his crate for about 3 months now and only recently did this start. and he doesn't really roam, it's that he can't get comfortable. my DH and I have stayed in bed and listened to his moving around. And there are times that we will wake up and he will put himself in his crate. We leave it open for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 My dog only likes dog beds for a few months. After that, something inside them shifts, and he keeps trying to scratch them so they'll be comfy again, but it doesn't seem to work. I hate to spend much $$ on what's a glorified stinky pillow! Someone recently suggested getting a crib mattress at Salvation Army. I found one for $10, and it's nice and firm, and covered with vinyl. I tossed a blanket on it, and Buddy seems to find it very comfy. (It must feel more or less like a real mattress.) He still prefers to be up on my bed, near me, but with his twitchy dreams and leg-stretching, I just don't sleep well if he's up there. Same day I bought my little mattress, a friend went to another Salvation Army and got a changing table pad or mattress for $1, which she said is smaller and still very poofy and comfy for the dog. Similarly, for the smaller spot under the table where Buddy sleeps during the day, someone suggested taking an old couch cushion when someone puts one out for the trash. Free!

Tiga's_mom Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tiga uses an old comforter of mine folded up in the corner of the bedroom. It's great because it's easy to wash and easy to transport. His blanket is like home to him. He knows if it gets put out wherever we go for the night that this is where we are sleeping tonight. I've wondered about dog beds, but what we have is working and you know what they say, if it ain't broke it doesn't need fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aBC4me Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 A comforter is what I use in his crate and he does great with that. My DH and I were talking about it last night and he thinks that because we recently redecorated the bedroom (i.e.. moved all of the furniture to a different home) and in the process his bed was moved. What do you think, could he be right, and if he is what can I do to help him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
