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.
For the dog who comes in soaking wet and lies straight down.
Honister is an all-weather XL dog bed, 112 × 81cm, with a PVC-coated 600D Oxford cover, up to 9cm of egg-crate foam, a cooling layer under the surface and a side carry handle.
Every dog owner in Britain knows the October walk. Rain coming sideways, mud to the elbows, and a dog who comes through the door and heads straight for their bed before you can reach the towel. A soft fabric bed soaks all of that up and smells of it for a week. Honister wipes clean. The coated Oxford cover shrugs off wet paws and muddy coats, and when it needs more than a wipe, it comes off for the machine. Underneath, egg-crate foam keeps their shoulders and hips off the hard floor, whether that is the boot room, the conservatory or the garden.
What they get

A cover that wipes clean: PVC-coated 600D Oxford fabric that resists water, mud and spills.

Indoors or out: Made for the kitchen, the porch, the garden or the campsite.
-
Easy to move: A side carry handle for taking it from room to room or into the car.
-
A cooling layer: Built in under the surface for warmer days.
Best for: Large outdoorsy dogs, muddy-walk households and anyone who wants one bed for the garden and the kitchen.
Why it is worth the money
A muddy dog on a fabric bed means a wash every few days and a bed that never quite smells clean. Honister is built the other way round: a coated cover first, foam second, so it lasts through a wet British winter and the summer garden after it. And you have 100 nights to decide. If they do not take to it, we collect it free from the UK mainland and refund you in full.
Size and fit

Measure your dog lying on their side, nose to base of tail, and add 15 to 20cm. This size is not designed to go inside a dog crate. Not sure? Message us their breed and weight and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
Everyday care
Wipe clean or rinse gently and air-dry. For a deeper clean, remove the cover and machine wash it following the care label, then air-dry fully before refitting. Never wash or soak the foam.
Outdoor use: Supervise your dog, provide drinking water and safe shade, and bring the bed and your dog indoors in extreme weather.
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.
