Our pick: the Omlet Memory Foam Dog Bolster Bed, Orthopedic and Stylish Design (Large, Plum Purple) — the best Pet Beds & Furniture we tested, from £149.00.
The right bed depends on your pet's size, age and sleeping style — bolster edges suit dogs who like to lean, while cat trees give climbers vertical space of their own. We compared beds and furniture built to survive daily use and regular washing.

FAQ
Do older dogs need a special type of bed?+
Senior or arthritic dogs benefit most from supportive memory foam beds, such as the Omlet Topology Bolster, which cushion joints and pressure points better than standard fibre-filled beds.
Will a cat tree stop my cat scratching the sofa?+
A cat tree with sisal-wrapped posts, like the Trixie Baza, gives cats an appealing alternative surface to scratch, which can significantly reduce scratching on furniture when placed in a room they use often.
