Small Barney Bed

We created the Barney Bed for our beloved Samoyed named Barney in 2019. We weren’t happy with the lack of good quality, supportive dog beds that were also insta-worthy and super easy to clean. The Barney Bed really is unlike any dog bed you have experienced before. It is a super solid structure that you and your dog will enjoy for many years to come.

We set out to create and design a dog bed that ticked all the boxes!

We wanted a bed that is…

- Supportive to aging joints
- Chin Rests for furry chins to rest on
- Easy to clean. Just zip off the cover and machine wash
- Long-lasting
- Super comfy - you will want to sleep on it
- No assembly is required
- Looks beautiful at home
- The cover had to be EASY to remove and wash because we didn’t ever want to contemplate throwing out a dirty dog bed again.

The bolsters are made from 100% high-density memory foam for comfortable and supportive chin rests that are backed by our 10-Year No-Sag Guarantee. Our memory foam is free of harmful chemicals and contains no formaldehyde.

The base mattress is made up of a structural foam base core topped with a thick layer of premium high-density memory foam that adapts to your dog's body without sinking. The foam core keeps your dog warm in the winter and cool in the summer so they won’t overheat.

Each memory foam piece is individually encased in a water-resistant lining to protect the bed's interior from moisture and dust mites.

The original Barney Bed grey cover is one of a kind and was made especially for the Barney Bed. It is a tightly woven bonded microfiber cover that is 3x thicker than other dog bed covers. Spot cleaning stains off the cover is a dream and most of our customers say their cover looks brand new after every wash. It really is a magical fabric.

Dogs love propping their chins up while resting. It allows them to keep an eye on things while resting. The Barney Bed Chin Rests are the perfect height for your dog to do that comfortably while maintaining proper spine alignment. The Chin Rests are made from one-piece structures unlike many other dog beds that use shredded foam to fill their beds.

If you have tiles or wooden flooring, we always recommend that you regularly clean and dry underneath the bed to prevent any condensation occurring. Your dog’s body heat on the cold floor can cause moisture if left for long periods of time. We recommend placing your Barney Bed on a rug to insulate it from the cold flooring.

It is totally normal for your Barney Bed to arrive flat, as it has been tightly vacuum sealed for shipping purposes. Please allow 7 days for the original Barney Bed to inflate and look like photos online. Please allow 10 days for the BarneyCurl Bed to inflate. Your dog can use it right away, and it will not affect the inflation process.

Yes, the Barney Bed has a non-skid base and given its solid structure, it is quite heavy for a dog to move. This means the Barney Bed will never slip or move when your dog steps into the bed to rest. It is crucial for dogs to have that stability when getting in and out of their bed. Especially if they suffer from joint pain.

No, the Barney Bed is not indestructible. Although very durable, the Barney Bed is still no match for overly aggressive dog use. This includes but is not limited to biting, ripping, and excessive scratching. We do not cover any damages caused by any use of the bed other than sleeping and lounging.

We designed the Barney Bed to allow airflow around your dog’s body. This was achieved by creating a base that supports your dog's body weight and does not sink with it.

The size of the bed you need will depend on the length of your dog. The best way to determine the right size is to measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail; this is the minimum length the bed needs for your dog to stretch out.

We have also included a size guide on the dog bed product pages that can give additional information on bed sizing. We also have a list of breeds and recommended sizes based on customer feedback. Please note this is a guide only and the most accurate way to choose your size is to measure your dog and the space you have at home for the bed. You can also contact us anytime for tailored advice about your dog. We can show you images of similar breeds in different sizes so you can be sure you’ve selected the correct size.  If you are still unsure about the size once your bed arrives, please do not open the bed and contact us on live chat for assistance.

Memory foam dog bed benefits include everything from increased comfort when your dog lays down for a rest to support and cleanliness to keep your four-legged friend happier and healthier.

• Motion isolation. This means the memory foam absorbs movement, so your dog doesn't feel as many of the physical effects of a disrupted sleep. Dogs with joint pain often toss and turn during the night as they try to get comfortable. A firm memory foam base to absorb such movement will help your dog sleep soundly.
• Pressure point support. Pressure points are parts of your dog's body that may feel uncomfortable when your dog lies down to sleep. These points are found in body parts that tend to carry a lot of pressure, like hips and knees. High-quality memory foam has the perfect amount of firmness to push up against and support these pressure points and provide much needed relief.
• Reduced allergens. Memory foam has a dense cellular structure that makes it almost impossible for dust mites to burrow in. This is an important feature to have in a dog bed, as where your pet sleeps can often be a breeding ground for all types of microscopic critters.
• Body contouring. Memory foam dog bed mattresses contour to your dog's body. Your dog’s body heat softens the memory foam, causing it to contour to the correct shape and provide the comfiest sleep.
• Pain point relief. Pain points usually emit a higher temperature than the rest of the body. Memory foam dog beds have a heat-response quality that warms pain points to provide much needed relief.

An orthopaedic memory foam bed is great for dogs of all ages! It is never too early to care for your dog’s joints and orthopaedic alignment. It is recommended to provide your dog with full support from a young age to prolong joint health. If your dog is in their senior years, the Barney Bed will provide maximum comfort for frail joints and support your dog when getting in and out of the bed without any added pressure on their joints.a

Both! Orthopaedic means that the bed or mattress is designed to support the bones and joints, and to alleviate pain. Our memory foam dog beds are considered orthopaedic as the pressure-relieving memory foam base will help support a dog's bones and joints.

Our Barney Bed has a memory foam base that measures approximately 6 inches thick. Please see our product pages for diagrams and measurements of each Barney Bed size.

The Barney Bed is quite heavy with high bolstered sides and a non-skid base, which makes it extremely difficult for a dog to get a good grip on it to drag it around the house.

The small Barney Bed measures 25” x 21” which will fit a fully stretched out Chihuahua while giving them room to root around and find their perfect spot. You can consider adding a small blanket or pillow to help give them something to nuzzle their extra small noses into.
