Orthopedic pillow with High-Quality-Latex-Filling

An adequate and ideal lying position must be the top criterium when it comes to choosing an dog and cat bed. Normal commercial pet beds are usually filled with foam plastics with very little density, with rests of thin polyester fleece and foam plastics or polystyrine balls. They are usually far too thin and not stable enough, resulting in your dog and cat ending up sleeping quite soon on the hard, cold floor. Such fillings do not offer your pet the necessary point elasticity for a proper support of the spine and of the joints.

Our orthopedic cat cushion and dog pillow inlet was specifically developed and optimized for pets. The pillow inlets are filled with high-quality-latex-flakes (Oeko-Tex certified) with an extremely high density. As a general rule, the higher the density, the more elastic, durable, sustainable, and the better will be the support effect of the cats and dogs pillows and their capability to regain shape, as well as their support of the main position changes when sleeping. Thanks to the high density, the pet pillows maintain their stability and shape for a long time, remain permanently elastic, are hardwearing and last for very long time.

The excellent point elasticity of our latex filling moulds perfectly to the individual shape of your cats or dogs, in order to avoid any compressions on the intervertebral disks and moving joints of the spine. An excessive compression on the spine would interfere with its regeneration.

Thanks to the optimized height of the pet pillows - which varies according to the size and weight of the pets - and to the specific latex filling in their core, our indoor pillows for cats and dogs offer a perfect sensation of lightness and relaxation for their spine and their joints. Besides, it is possible to minimize or even avoid bedsore and pressure sore, especially in elder cats and dogs or in animals affected by hip joint dysplasia or arthrosis. Such category of pets is helped to stand up thanks to the natural boost of latex.

Through the usage of latex, our cats and dogs pillows are anti-allergic, antibacterial, and regulate humidity and temperature. Latex also has antiseptic characteristics and is very unlikely to be attacked by mites.

The padding is absolutely noiseless when the animal moves, thus enabling a quiet and restorative sleep. Latex offers an excellent capability of suspension and to regain shape in the position changes, as well as ensuring a perfect relaxation and regeneration of your beloved pet.
 

Care of the latex cushion
If necessary, the cushion can be machine-washed at 60º C. Drying at low temperature in tumble dryer.

 

 

Viscoelastic pet beds

A wrong sleeping berth can cause muscle tension and bone-joint deseases even with healthy dogs - just like with humans. Mattress covers with memory foam help the body to recover ideally during sleep and rest periods. This high-tech-foam reacts to body temperature and weight. Thanks to its pressure reducing feature the memory foam dog bed lets your dog sleep in a relaxed and natural position and relieves joints and muscles.

The mattress, made out of 100% viscoelastic memory foam, adapts perfectly to the body, prevents pressure points, and promotes an ideal pressure distribution to every body region (normal foam materials react to counter pressure). While laying down the spine will be kept straight, evenly supported, and in the proper anatomic form. It eases tensions, joints will get relieved, and it can lessen pain. The memory foam dog bed helps the blood flow and promotes a healthy, deep, and relaxed sleep.

Scientific studies show that humans turn a lot less from one side to the other and wake up more relaxed when sleeping on memory foam. Because of that visco-elastic foam is perfect for our orthopaedic dog beds.

Our memory foam mattresses are from very high density, are breathable, and temperature adjusting. Because we are only using 100% memory foam (no sandwich-combination of normal foam and fleece) our products are first grade quality. Our dog beds and pillows are produced by a brand-name manufacturer for human mattresses here in Bavaria. Our manufacturer doesn't distinguish between human and animal when choosing materials and produces the products. The orthopaedic dog bed will stay true to form for years.

This high-tech material was developed by NASA to reduce the pressure on their astronauts during the start and re-entry phase. The mattresses have been used already for years in patient care to avoid bedsores and also on operating tables since it promotes ideal blood flow.

The benefit of our viscoelastic memory foam dog beds:
- optimal relaxation of potential pressure sore.
- improvement of the blood circulation
- decrease of backache and muscle pain
- controled accommodation to every body zone
- thermo active hardness regulation
- no muscle tenseness in the shoulder and ridge musculature
- preventing decubitus pressure sore

We recommend our memory foam dog beds particularly with regard to
- arthrosis and preventing arthrosis
- dysplasia of the hip joint
- dysplasia of the elbow
- spondylosis
- overweight
- older dogs
- after surgeries

Care of latex cushion

If necessary, the latex cushion can be machine-washed at 60º C. Drying at low temperature in the dryer.

Felt

For our animal furniture we only use felt 100 % made of sheep's wool. Our felts are natural products mechanically manufactured in Germany only by means of humidity, pressure and warmth; they are hardened without the addition of any binding materials or similar. This small felt basket has a base made from hardwearing needle felt.

Care of felt
The felts we utilize are damp-resistant and can be perfectly cleansed with a wet cloth and a delicate neutral soap solution. In case of obstinate dirt, the felt can also be dry-washed.

Fleece

It was the animals themselves that chose the fabric for the covers. During long test series we laid out the most varied types of fabrics here in the office, where our four-footed could lie down and sleep. The fleece we now use was unanimously selected by every cat and dog as their favourite material. Animals love this material because of its closely-woven pile, its softness and its warmth features. But this fabric is also suitable for cushion covers thanks to the breathable activity of the material and the good characteristics for its care. Our cosy fleece from 100% polyester, with a density of 400 g per square meter, is manufactured in Italy for high-quality outdoor coverings. It remains perfectly soft and fluffy even after frequent washing and has an anti-pilling system.

What is the best bed for my dog?

A suitable dog bed is part of the perfect dog equipment considering that puppies and even adult dogs spend a lot of time sleeping. It is worthwhile to think over buying the right dog bed to give your dog the much needed healthy and restful sleep. When choosing the right sleeping place the perfect size and also the sleep behavior of your dog is important. It is worthwhile to reconsider seiously, buying a dog basket. When selecting the right sleeping place for the dog not only the size but also the sleep behavior of your dog is important.
 

Why does my dog need a place to sleep at all?

An adult dog spends 16-18 hours a day sleeping or resting. In that case, the purchase of a high quality dog bed, possibly with orthopedic lying comfort, makes sense. Your dog feels safe and protected in his own bed and has a set place for restful and recreative sleep. Many elder or arthritis effected dogs need a joint-friendly dog bed. The right and suitable place to sleep for the dog improves quality of life immensely.
 

What is the right bed size for my dog?

To decide how the ideal dog bed should look like, you should look at your dogs sleeping habits. Does he love to curl up or does he sleep stretched out? He likes to lay on his back? Or he curls up and then stretches out again? If your dog loves to stretch out, a dog pillow or mattress, rectangular or square without a high edge is a good choice. Determine the optimal size of the dog cushion by measuring your dog while sleeping and add 20-30 cm. If your dog loves to curl up while sleeping, measure the longest side of the dog and add about 20-30 cm. The result is the perfect size for your dog bed in length or diameter.
 

How should be the place to sleep?

Observe your dog. He usually shows pretty much what he prefers. Every dog is different, we can only give a recommendation. Short-haired dogs love it more soft and cuddly, with an edge to lean on. These dogs love our pillowcases made from fleece fabric. All Divan cushions, as well as the pet baskets Arena and Siro are a good choice. Long-haired dogs are often better on smooth surfaces, since them will quickly get too warm through the long fur. For these dogs we recommend covers out of leatherette (Day Beds Peter and Paul) or microfiber Mary dog mattress. For large, heavy dogs we have developed our Lounge cushions. Chambers are stitched inside the dog cushion to prevent the high-quality latex filling from migration. The bed surface remains nearly straight and the recumbency characteristics are slightly firmer than these of our Divan pillows. Many elderly or arthritis effected dogs need a back-friendly dog bed. All our products are filled with orthopedic latex flakes or equipped with viscoelastic foam. Especially recommended are the DayBeds Peter, Paul & Mary and all the Lounge cushions. On request we can provide the CUBE dog bed with viscoelastic foam. The preferences of the berth can be quite different, day and season depending, and varies from dog to dog. Offer your dog different beds, if you have the opportunity to do so. Then he can decide himself.
It is particularly important that the roost is easy to clean. Dogs also love clean beds. Therefore, all our cushion covers are washable and replacement covers are available, even after years. Look to it that the filling does not crumple together or can be pushed through. Because that is not comfortable for any dog. Our high-quality latex filling has very high restoring forces. During all the years of our existence, it has still managed not a dog, to push through one of our cushion fillings. Should it ever happen that a dog pushes through to the ground one of our cushions, we will send an immediate replacement.
We promise!
 

Divan or Lounge cushion, which is better?

The Divan cushion is loosely filled with our premium high-quality Latex flakes. The animal may rummage around a little scrape and snuggle into the pillow wonderfully. The bed surface is softer than in the Lounge cushions. Cats and small dogs love and prefer this cushion type. Inside the Lounge cushions,, chambers are stitched also filled with high-quality Latex flakes. These prevent excessive migration of the filling inside the cushion. The bed surface remains nearly straight and is slightly firmer in the recumbency characteristics. Which cushion now is the appropriate one for your darling depends on the sleeping preferences of your pet.
Cuddling preferred = Divan cushion
Preferably straight lying, difficulty in getting up = Lounge cushion
 

How many pet beds should it be now?

It would be good if at least two berths would be made available for each dog (always one place more than dogs live in the house); the more the better. It is optimal when different berths with different characteristics are available. So your dog has the ability to change the berth and also the location as needed.
 

Where do I set the roost?

First of all align the roost there, where it seems most appropriate. Certainly, your dog will pick and choose the most pleasant place himself. Is this place ok for you, the question has been clarified. In any case, the sleeping place should be where the family is staying at the most throughout the day. The dog is a pack animal and wants to be near you. The sleeping place should be set up in a quiet room or corner. Your Darling should be able to pull himself back when he needs some rest. Not suitable is the entrance area, as there was usually restless approaching and the dog will often be disturbed. Also you should think about the noise next to his sleeping place. Close to the home stereo or TV, it is usually too loud for the dog.
 

Bed, Sofa or chair as a sleeping place?

You decide whether your dog is allowed to it or not. It is only important, to be consistent in the original decision.

The dog is a family member, which is also evident, that the pet bed can be integreted perfectly into your environment, without neglect the need of the animal.
