Ambleside Orthopaedic Memory Foam Dog Mattress for Dogs up to 70kg
For the big dog who has started taking a moment to get up.
Edge to edge foam means our dog uses the whole bed. Very good.
Our Dachshund has a history of spinal issues, so stepping over raised edges was a risk. The Ambleside edge-to-edge bed is completely flat. She walks straight on and the memory foam supports her long spine evenly without pressure points.
Ambleside is an edge-to-edge memory foam dog mattress for dogs up to 70kg: a contouring memory foam top layer over a firmer foam base, with a zip-off cover, in Medium (82 × 70cm), Large (100 × 80cm) and Extra Large (140 × 100cm).
You see it most in the morning. You reach for the lead and there is a beat before they stand, a moment that was not there last year. You have noticed other things too: a shoulder on the cold tiles because the old bed is too small for them now, the shuffle from the edge to the middle in the night because the edge has nothing in it, the bed itself flat since last winter with the floor coming through. You keep meaning to sort it, and the week goes.
The surface they spend most of the day and all of the night on is the one thing about this you can change this week. Ambleside is built around a plain idea: foam to every edge, so there is no thin spot, no soft rim and no cold floor anywhere on it. Memory foam on top takes their shape. A firmer foam base underneath stops them sinking through to the floor. That is the whole mechanism, and the foam core is guaranteed against going flat for 5 years. Choosing it is deciding that the dog does not have to make do.
Start at the top. The cover zips off, so it goes in the wash on its care label and back on. Under it is the memory foam top layer. This is the contouring layer. It takes the shape of whatever is lying on it, a hip, a shoulder, an elbow, rather than pushing back against it. Under that is the firmer foam base, and its job is the opposite. It does not give much, and that is the point. It stops a heavy dog sinking through the softer layer and meeting the floor. The two layers do different jobs, and the bed needs both.
Then the edges. Most cheap mattresses are a thin foam sheet floating in a bag. The edges have nothing in them, so a dog who lies down near one sinks through to the cold floor and shuffles to the middle. Ambleside runs foam right to all four sides. There are no thin spots and no soft rim, so every centimetre of the surface is sleeping space, and there is nothing to step over on the way onto it.
Best for: Side sleepers, sprawlers, older dogs who find walls a nuisance, and big dogs who never fit on a standard mattress.
Not for: Dogs who dig at or chew bedding. If that is your dog, message us first and we will tell you honestly which bed stands a chance. It is also not the bed for a dog who wants a rim to rest a chin on or a wall to press against. There is no rim on Ambleside, on purpose.
The money went on two things. Two layers of foam, a softer one and a firmer one doing different jobs, with foam running to all four edges instead of stopping short. And a cover that zips off, so mud and moulting do not end the bed: cover off, washed, back on. What those parts stop is the thin edge, the sink to the floor and the bed that is flat by spring. A £30 bed that is flat by spring is not the cheaper option. You just buy it twice. And every night between now and spring that you spend deciding is a night they spend on the floor, or on something that has become the floor with a layer of fabric over it.
The foam core carries a 5-year no-flatten guarantee. Across those five years the Medium works out at about 5p a night, and even the Extra Large is under 8p a night. Picture the first frosty morning: they are lying full length, nothing of them on the tiles, on a bed that is the same depth at the edge as it is in the middle. And you are not gambling the money: if they have not claimed it within 100 nights, we collect it free from the UK mainland and refund you in full, slept-on, hair and all.

Measure your dog lying on their side, the way they actually sleep, from nose to base of tail. Add 15 to 20cm so they have room to shift. Every centimetre of Ambleside is usable sleeping area, so there is no allowance to make for a bolster. A dog who measures 70cm lying down wants 85 to 90cm of bed, which is the Large at 100 × 80cm. A dog who measures 100cm or more is into Extra Large territory. If they land between two sizes, go up; on a flat mattress a bigger bed is never wasted. Ambleside is for dogs up to 70kg. Not sure? Message us their breed and weight and we will tell you honestly which one fits.
Put it where they already sleep, not where you would like them to sleep. If that is the kitchen floor by the radiator, the mattress goes on the kitchen floor by the radiator. Lay a blanket or an old jumper that smells of home on top for the first few nights, so it is not a strange new object. Then leave it alone. Do not lift them onto it or call them over to it every time you walk past. Some dogs claim a new bed the first night. Some circle it for a fortnight and then one evening they are on it as if they always were. A few never do, and that is what the 100 nights are for.
Measure them lying on their side, nose to base of tail, and add 15 to 20cm. Medium is 82 × 70cm, Large is 100 × 80cm and Extra Large is 140 × 100cm. Between sizes, go up. If you are still not sure, message us their breed and weight and we will tell you which one.
Unzip the cover and wash it following the sewn-in care label, which gives the temperature. Air-dry it fully before you put it back on. Never wash or soak the foam itself. The cover washes and air-dries in a day.
The foam core is guaranteed for 5 years against losing its shape under normal domestic use. If it does, we replace it. That is the difference between this and the fibre-filled beds that pack down to nothing by spring. On firmness, it is two layers: a contouring memory foam top that takes their shape, over a firmer base that holds them up off the floor. Soft where they touch it, firm underneath.
We do not print a single depth here. Message us before you order and we will confirm the exact depth of the size you are choosing.
Then it comes back. You have 100 nights from delivery. If they have not taken to it in that time, we arrange free UK mainland collection and refund you in full. One trial per household; damage and other exclusions apply.
You will see the dates above the button before you order. Standard UK delivery is free on every order.
Not yet. Message us and we will tell you the moment they are in. In the meantime the cover washes and air-dries in a day, so you are rarely without it for long.
Remove the cover and wash it following the sewn-in care label. Air-dry fully before refitting. Never wash or soak the foam.
If your dog is in pain, recovering or finding it hard to move, speak to your vet about the right resting surface. A bed is for comfort. It is not a treatment.
100 nights is longer than a whole winter. Plenty of time to know.
Try it at home for 100 nights from delivery. If it is not right, we arrange free UK mainland collection and a full refund. One trial per household; damage and other exclusions apply.

The 5-year foam guarantee covers the memory foam core of every PawLunova memory foam bed. If the core loses its shape under normal domestic use within 5 years, we replace it. Whether this bed is covered is shown in the "Included with this bed" list above.
Covers, zips, liners, waterproof layers, bolsters, fibre filling and non-slip bases are wearing parts and aren't included. Nor is damage from chewing, scratching, tearing or accidents, foam damaged by liquid (including urine) or by washing, softening that recovers when the bed is empty, or commercial use.
For the big dog who has started taking a moment to get up. Foam to every edge, no thin spots, no cold floor.
Measure nose to base of tail lying down and add about 20cm. Between two sizes? Go up. Unsure? Send us their breed and weight.
Honest answers now beat a return later. Here's who this bed is for, and who it isn't.
Still not sure?
Message Abbas with their breed and weightFair question, because it's how most dog beds end: plump in the shop, flat by spring, and a dog sleeping on the floor with a cover over it. So here is what's actually inside the Ambleside, and what we'll do if it ever lets you down.
Press a flat hand into the middle of their current bed, where they lie. If you can feel the floor through it, so can their hips and elbows. Do the same on the Ambleside whenever you like: if the foam ever fails that test under normal use inside the guarantee, that's exactly what the guarantee is for.
Comes off to wash, following the care label sewn into it.
The part the 5-year guarantee covers.
A bed that can't be washed is a bed you'll throw away. Here's how the Ambleside stays a bed you'd let in the living room.
The cover comes off. Wash it following the care label sewn into it, and air-dry. Foam is never machine washed. Care guide.
The Ambleside is not listed with a waterproof liner, so treat it as having none. If accidents are likely, keep a second cover ready and ask us before you order.
Ask us about a spare cover before you order. A second cover means the bed is never out of action on wash day.
If it arrives rolled or vacuum-packed, unroll it somewhere ventilated and give it a few hours to come back to full depth before they try it.
Nobody expects a trial on a dog bed. We think it's the only honest way to sell one, because a bed only proves itself at 2am.
Put it where they already sleep, with a blanket that smells of home on top.
Plenty of dogs claim a new bed the first evening. Some take a fortnight. Both are normal, and you've got 100.
Any time inside the 100 nights. We collect it free from the UK mainland and refund every penny.
It doesn't need to be unused. Send it back slept on, hair and all.
A few products aren't part of the trial. Where that's the case, the product page says so before you buy.
Dogs spend twelve to fourteen hours a day lying down. Spread over the 5 years the foam is guaranteed for, the Ambleside works out at pennies a night. Worth comparing with a bed that's flat by spring, and the one you buy to replace it.
Worked out as the Ambleside at £95 (smallest size), divided by 5 years of nights (1825). Rounded up, never down.
Every size on the site is in centimetres, and where a measurement is the outside rather than the sleeping area, the page says so.
A bed is for comfort, not a treatment. If your dog is in pain, your vet comes first and we'll never tell you otherwise.
The delivery dates above the button are worked out for an order placed today. Where a bed ships from a partner warehouse rather than our own stock, the page says so before you order.
I'm Abbas. I answer every message myself, usually the same day. If a bed isn't right, you tell me, and it comes back.
Measure nose to base of tail while they're lying down, then add about 20cm. Between two sizes? Go up. The size cards above list the sleeping area where we've measured it. Still unsure? Send us their breed and weight.
Most adult Labradors need the Large or the XL, and a sprawler needs the bigger of the two. Measure them lying stretched out, nose to base of tail, add about 20cm, and compare with the sleeping area on the size cards. If that lands between two sizes, go up: a bed that's slightly too big is never the problem, one that's too small always is.
The "What's inside" card above says exactly what's in this bed: the core type and, where we've measured it, the depth and the density. If it's memory foam over egg-crate foam, it says so. If it's fibre, it says so. We'd rather you knew now than in month three.
Beds that go flat are usually loose fibre, or thin foam that bottoms out. This one is built on a foam core, listed above with its depth, and the core is guaranteed for 5 years: if it loses its structure under normal use, we replace the foam. Covers, zips and liners wear with use and sit outside the guarantee, which is why we'd rather you had a spare cover than a new bed.
Then it comes back. Put it where they already sleep, with a blanket that smells of home on top. If after a fortnight it still isn't right, tell us any time inside the 100 nights and we collect it free from the UK mainland and refund every penny.
A dog who picks the kitchen floor over his bed has usually done the comparison: the floor is flatter and firmer than a bed that has bottomed out. Put the new one where he already sleeps, old blanket on top, and give him a fortnight. If he still won't, it comes back inside the 100 nights and you're refunded in full.
Foam spreads their weight so pressure isn't concentrated on hips, elbows and shoulders, and a low front means stepping in rather than climbing over. A bed is for comfort, not a treatment, so please keep talking to your vet.
Where this bed has a waterproof inner liner, it's listed under "Why the bed" above, and the liner sits between cover and foam so an accident stops before the core. Where it doesn't, the cover comes off and washes and the care guide shows how to protect the foam. Either way, a second cover means one is always on the bed.
Where the cover comes off, it washes following the care label sewn into it. Coated covers wipe clean. Foam is never machine washed. See the care guide.
Foam beds often arrive rolled or vacuum-packed. Unroll it somewhere ventilated and give it a few hours to come back to full depth before they try it. If anything about it isn't right once it has, that's what the 100 nights are for.
Yes. Inside the 100 nights, tell us and we arrange collection free from the UK mainland, slept on, hair and all, and refund every penny. You don't need to find a box that fits.
Dogs spend twelve to fourteen hours a day lying down. Spread over the 5 years the foam is guaranteed for, it comes to the pennies-a-night figure above. Compare that with a bed that's flat by spring, and the one you buy to replace it, and the one after that.
