Description

A big bed, a bolster at their back, and room to stretch.

Bowfell is an XXL orthopaedic chaise dog bed, 122 × 91 × 18cm, with a layered foam construction and an egg-crate upper profile, and an L-shaped bolster running along two sides with the other two left open.

After a winter walk a big dog wants to lie full length, back against something, legs out. Enclosed beds rarely give them the room, and a dog that size does not want to be boxed in anyway. Bowfell is 122 × 91cm and 18cm deep, with an L-shaped bolster along two sides and the other two left open, so they can lie the length of it with their back covered and layered foam between them and the floor.

What they get

  • 122 × 91cm, 18cm deep: Room for a large or giant breed to lie full length.
  • An L-shaped bolster: Cover along two sides and a corner for their head.
  • Two open sides: No walls eating the footprint, nothing to step over.
  • Layered foam with an egg-crate top: Built to carry a heavy dog without compressing flat.

Why it is worth the money

On a bed this size the bolsters can swallow a third of what you paid for. Keeping two sides open means the footprint you buy is close to the footprint they use, and the layered foam is what stops a heavy dog lying on your floor through a bit of fabric. 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

One size, 122 × 91 × 18cm outside, with two sides usable right to the edge. Measure your dog lying on their side, nose to base of tail, and add 15 to 20cm. Message us their breed and weight and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

Everyday care

Follow the sewn-in care label on the cover. 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 to decide

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. Read the full returns and guarantee terms.

Free standard UK delivery on every order. Check delivery timings and any product-specific lead time.

Choose the bed big enough for the after-walk stretch.

Guarantee

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.

Why the Bowfell

What the Bowfell does for them.

Finally, a bed where all of a big dog fits. XXL, an L-shaped bolster and two open sides to lie full length.

  • Best for: Big dogs who lie full length.
  • 5-year guarantee on the foam core.
  • Made in Yorkshire.
Before you add it

Is the Bowfell right for your dog?

Honest answers now beat a return later. Here's who this bed is for, and who it isn't.

Yes, if

  • They've started taking a moment to get up in the morning.
  • They've started choosing the floor over their old bed, or circling and resettling on it.
  • You've already paid for a bed that went flat, and you'd rather not do it twice.
  • Made with big dogs who lie full length in mind.

Think twice if

  • They chew beds. Nothing on this site is chew-proof, and covers sit outside the guarantee.
  • You're guessing the size. Don't: measure them lying down against the size cards above, or send us a photo.

Straight answers

  • A bed is for comfort, not a treatment. If they're in pain, your vet comes first, and we'll never tell you otherwise.
  • Every size is in centimetres. Where a measurement is the outside rather than the sleeping area, the page says so.
  • 100 nights to decide, slept on. If it isn't right, tell us and it comes back, collected free from the UK mainland, refunded in full.
  • The foam core is guaranteed for 5 years. Covers, zips and liners wear with use and sit outside it.
The question every dog bed gets asked

Will it go flat?

Fair 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 Bowfell, and what we'll do if it ever lets you down.

  • Egg-crate foam. Foam, not loose filling that packs down.
  • 5-year foam guarantee. If the foam loses its structure under normal use inside 5 years, we replace the foam. Covers, zips and liners wear with use and sit outside it.
  • 100 nights to find out for yourself. Slept on, hair and all. If it isn't right, it comes back.
The hand test, tonight

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 Bowfell whenever you like: if the foam ever fails that test under normal use inside the guarantee, that's exactly what the guarantee is for.

Inside the Bowfell, top to bottom

  1. Cover

    Follow the care label sewn into it.

  2. Egg-crate foam

    The part the 5-year guarantee covers.

Wet coats, accidents and washing

The bit nobody mentions until February.

A bed that can't be washed is a bed you'll throw away. Here's how the Bowfell stays a bed you'd let in the living room.

Washing it

Follow the care label sewn into the cover. Foam is never machine washed. Care guide.

Accidents and wet dogs

The Bowfell 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.

One on the bed, one in the wash

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.

The 100-night trial

100 nights to be sure. At our risk, not yours.

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.

  1. Night 1

    It arrives

    Put it where they already sleep, with a blanket that smells of home on top.

  2. Night 50

    Give them time

    Plenty of dogs claim a new bed the first evening. Some take a fortnight. Both are normal, and you've got 100.

  3. Night 100

    Not right? Tell us

    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.

What it really costs

About a few pence a night.

Dogs spend twelve to fourteen hours a day lying down. Spread over the 5 years the foam is guaranteed for, the Bowfell 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 Bowfell at £149, divided by 5 years of nights (1825). Rounded up, never down.

Straight talk

Here's what we can promise.

Every size on the site is in centimetres, and where a measurement is the outside rather than the sleeping area, the page says so.

Before you add it

Questions about this bed, in your words.

How do I know which size to get?

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.

What size for a Labrador?

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.

Will it actually be memory foam, or that egg-crate stuff?

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.

Our last one went flat in a month. How is this different?

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.

What if my dog just won't use it?

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.

He's not a 'bed dog'. He'd rather have the floor.

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.

Will it help a dog with arthritis or stiff hips?

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.

She's started having the odd accident. Is it waterproof?

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.

Can I wash it?

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.

Does it smell when it arrives?

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.

Can I really send something this big back?

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.

It's a lot for a dog bed. Why?

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.

When will it arrive?

The dates for an order placed today are above the button. Own stock is dispatched in 1 to 2 working days and delivered 1 to 2 working days later. Free UK delivery.
