About this bed
Off the cold tiles. Off the damp floor. Easy to hose down.
Bassenthwaite is a raised mesh dog bed on a metal frame, in Large (90 × 70cm), XL (110 × 80cm) and XXL (130 × 90cm). No foam, no stuffing, no cover to wrestle off. Just a taut breathable deck lifted clear of the floor.
In winter the floor is the problem. Tiles in the kitchen, concrete in the utility room, damp ground in the kennel, all of it cold, wet and covered in whatever came in on their paws. Bassenthwaite lifts them clear on a taut, breathable deck, with no foam or filling to go soggy after a wet walk. Lay a blanket on top on cold nights, and at the end of a muddy week, rinse it down and let it dry.
What they get
- Air moving underneath: The deck sits clear of the floor, so heat is not trapped between dog and tile.
- A taut, supportive surface: Breathable mesh spreads their weight instead of collapsing under it.
- Nothing to soak or shred: No foam core and no loose filling, so there is nothing to go soggy or get pulled out.
- Hose it and forget it: Rinse it down and let it dry. No cover to remove, no wash cycle, no damp bed smell.
- Indoors or out: Conservatory, utility room, garden, kennel or campsite.
Best for: Heavy-coated breeds, muddy dogs, hot sleepers and households with hard floors.
Why it is worth the money
Every soft bed you have bought has the same ending: it soaks up water, holds smell, flattens, and goes in the bin. There is nothing on this one to do any of that. Frame and mesh, hosed down as often as you like, used indoors in winter and outside all summer. And you have 100 nights to decide. If they will not use it, we collect it free from the UK mainland and refund you in full.
Size and fit
| Size | Dimensions (cm) |
|---|---|
| Large | 90 × 70 |
| XL | 110 × 80 |
| XXL | 130 × 90 |
Measure your dog lying on their side, nose to base of tail, and add 15 to 20cm. The whole deck is usable sleeping area, so there is no bolster to lose space to. Not sure? Message us their breed and weight and we will tell you honestly which one fits.
Everyday care
Rinse the mesh and frame with water and let it dry fully. Keep it on a level surface and check the frame joints occasionally.

Care and washing
The cover unzips completely and machine-washes at 30°C. On our waterproof-lined beds a sealed liner sits under the cover, so wet coats, muddy paws and accidents never reach the foam core. You wash the cover; you never have to wash the bed.

Before you decide
The questions we get asked most.
Something we haven't covered? Ask us
How do I know which size to get?
Measure nose to base of tail while they are lying down, then add 15–20cm. Where a dog falls between two sizes, go up: sprawlers need the length more than you would think. Every product page has a size guide built from that bed's own measurements, with breed examples.
What does 50kg/m³ actually mean?
It is how much foam is packed into every cubic metre. Density and firmness are not the same thing: a low-density foam can feel firm on day one and still collapse by month six. High-density foam keeps its structure under repeated weight, which is why a 50kg/m³ core is still supporting hips and elbows years later.
You'll find it in the orthopaedic beds. The fibre-filled nest beds are built for softness instead, and each product page says which is which.
Can I actually wash it?
On most of the range, yes: properly, not just spot-clean. Covers zip off and go straight in the machine at 30°C, and on the orthopaedic beds a waterproof inner liner keeps wet coats, muddy paws and accidents away from the foam.
One exception worth knowing before you buy: waterproof-fabric beds are wiped clean rather than washed with detergent, because detergent strips the coating off the fabric. Every product page says which applies.
How quickly will it arrive?
Orders go out on working days, tracked from the moment they leave us. Order by 3pm on a dispatch day and it goes the same day; most then arrive within 1–3 working days. Tracking comes by email as soon as it's on its way.
Delivery is free on UK orders over £40. Below that, the delivery charge is shown at checkout before you pay.
What if my dog just won't use it?
Then it comes back. Let your dog sleep on it for up to 100 nights. If it isn't right, we collect it free and refund every penny. Just tell us inside that window. It doesn't need to be unused: send it back slept-on, hair and all. Full terms are in our returns policy.
What does the 5-year guarantee cover?
The foam. Every memory foam bed carries a 5-year guarantee on its core: if it loses its structure under normal use in that time, which is the failure that ends most dog beds, we'll replace it. Covers, zips and liners are wearing parts and sit outside it, and the fibre-filled nest beds are built for softness rather than covered by the foam guarantee. Full terms are in our returns policy.
Will it help a dog with arthritis or stiff hips?
A supportive bed spreads their weight so pressure isn't concentrated on hips, elbows and shoulders, which is what makes lying down and getting back up harder for a dog with joint wear. But a bed is not a treatment and it won't replace veterinary care, so please keep talking to your vet. What it can change is the surface they spend twelve to fourteen hours a day on.
