As much as we love our dogs, that doesn’t mean we want them in our bed with us. That doesn’t mean your dog has to be relegated to sleeping on the floor!
You can give them a bed of their very own, and if you have a large breed that is getting up there in the years, you can provide them with an orthopedic dog bed like the BarksBar Large Gray Orthopedic Dog Bed.
In this review, we are going to talk a little more about the features of the BarksBar Large Gray Orthopedic Dog Bed, but we are also going to give you an overview of what people who have purchased the dog bed had to say about their overall experience with it.
Then, we’re going to give you our recommendation on whether or not this dog bed is something you should consider purchasing for your furry best friend!
About the BarksBar Orthopedic Dog Bed
If you’re looking to give your pet a bed of their very own that they may even prefer over your bed, then you’ll want to consider the luxuriously crafted BarksBar Large Gray Orthopedic Dog Bed.
It is a perfect bed for larger dogs, but it is also ideal for medium and small dogs who need lots of space for their favorite toys or blankets.
Notable features of the BarksBar Large Gray Orthopedic Dog Bed include:
- Large orthopedic sleeper 40”x30”x10.”
- Top of the line materials and high-quality workmanship
- Memory foam insert
- Machine washable cover
- Cotton padded walls to give support for your dog’s neck
- Non-slip rubber padding on the bottom to prevent the bed from sliding
The bottom of the bed is made from a quality memory foam, while the sides of the bed are padded with thick cotton padding to give your pup neck support and optimal comfort.
Because this bed is designed for dogs with joint or bone problems, your dog will soon feel relief when relaxing and resting.
The rubber backing on the bottom of the bed is especially useful if you have the bed on a hard surface. The support will prevent the bed from slipping on the floor as your dog gets in or out, which makes it a little easier for them, so they don’t lose their balance and possibly hurt themselves.
The best feature customers like about this bed are that the bed is machine washable, which certainly comes in handy when they begin shedding after the colder months.
BarksBar User Reviews
When we looked at the user reviews, we saw that the majority had great things to say about the dog bed and left 4 or 5-star reviews. Of these reviews, people commented on how much their dogs enjoy the bed. One customer owns a German Shepherd, and they said the dog loves to snuggle on the bed.
Customers also like how easy it is to wash the bed – simply throw it in the washer and let it air dry. Several customers mention that they purchased the bed for a smaller dog and they nuzzle up in the side pads.
Customers also like that the overall quality and construction of the bed was top notch. One customer stated they’ve gone through several orthopedic beds for their 18-year-old dog; they said that this bed is perfect for her dog as it is much softer and easier on the dog’s joints.
So what did the remaining 6% of customers who left 3-star or below reviews have to say? The most common complaint customers had was that the dimensions described in the product description does not describe the area where your dog lies, but the overall area of the bed. So, as you could imagine, customers were concerned because their dog wasn’t able to fit into the bed completely.
Customers also mentioned that they didn’t care for the non-continuous bolster around the back, so it wasn’t as supportive as they would have liked. Customers felt that in order to give your dog’s head the kind of support the bolster intends to do, it actually needs more padding.
A few customers have mentioned that they will have to get a new bed for their pet because their dog’s nails caused the bedding area to get a rip, which quickly turned into a larger rip and now the padding is showing through. Another customer felt that the padding for the bed wasn’t thick at all.
Our Recommendation
Looking for a comfortable bed for your pet is probably going to be a priority once they get older and they are experiencing joint and bone pain. Your dog has been an integral member of the family for years, so it’s understandable that you’re going to want to make their remaining years as comfortable as possible.
With the BarksBar Large Gray Orthopedic Dog Bed, you can give them a comfortable place to sleep that is easy on their bones and joints, thanks to the memory foam padding and the padded rim that they can rest their head-on. For a bed that is well-priced for its features, we feel that this bed is a great option.
The memory foam bed is made of two foam bases equally 4 inches, one is a solid foam and the other is grooved, which is perfect for providing optimal balance and comfort while relieving joint discomfort. The cotton-padded rim will give your pooch the neck support, but it can also be perfect for snuggling up against if they want some extra comfort.

I have tis dog bed for my pit bull and he loves it. The only problem is that he is out growing it. Do you have any xlarge beds available like this one?
Hi Cathy,
The BarksBar’s largest size is 40″ x 30″. You may want to consider the Petfusion Ultimate Dog Lounge, which comes in a larger 44″ x 34″ option. It’s a bit more expensive, however. Check out our review here: https://canineweekly.com/orthopedic-dog-bed-petfusion-ultimate/
