5 Signs Your Dog Needs an Orthopedic Bed

Spot the symptoms. Support them in style.

Not all signs of discomfort in dogs are obvious — but if your pup is restless, aging, or just not sleeping as peacefully as they used to, their bed may be to blame.

At RoyalDen™, we believe your dog’s bed should be more than just soft — it should be strategically designed to promote health, comfort, and emotional well-being. Whether your dog is a playful pup or a wise senior, knowing when it’s time to upgrade to an orthopedic dog bed can transform their sleep and quality of life.

Here are five key signs your dog may be ready for a throne fit for royalty.

1. 🛑 They Struggle to Get Comfortable or Shift Positions Frequently

Do you often see your dog circling endlessly before lying down — or adjusting their position throughout the night? This could be a sign that their current bed lacks proper support.

💡 What’s happening:
Flimsy or worn-out beds cause pressure points on joints and hips, making it hard for your dog to find relief. An orthopedic memory foam bed contours to their body and evenly distributes weight, helping them settle faster and rest deeper.

✨ Royal Touch:
RoyalDen™ beds use high-density CertiPUR-US® certified foam to provide the perfect balance of support and softness — no tossing, no turning, just pure, peaceful rest.

2. 🐕Your Dog Is a Senior, Large Breed, or Prone to Joint Pain

Larger breeds and aging dogs carry more weight on their joints and are often at higher risk for conditions like:

  • Hip dysplasia

  • Arthritis

  • Elbow dysplasia

  • Spinal degeneration

These pups benefit tremendously from the orthopedic-grade foam, supportive bolsters, and pressure-relieving design found in RoyalDen™ beds.

💡 Did you know?
Most dogs begin showing subtle signs of joint stress as early as age 5 — especially large breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labs, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers.

✨ Royal Touch:
Our orthopedic beds aren’t just comfortable — they’re therapeutic, helping reduce inflammation and improve mobility over time.

3. 💧 They Overheat While Sleeping or Avoid Their Bed Altogether

Have you noticed your dog lying on cold tile instead of their bed? It might be too warm — especially if the foam traps heat. Dogs often avoid beds that don’t regulate temperature, especially during warmer months or after active play.

✨ Royal Touch:
RoyalDen™ orthopedic beds feature a gel-infused memory foam layer that draws heat away from your dog’s body, providing a cool, calming place to relax. Perfect for double-coated breeds or warm climates.

4. 🧘 They Suffer from Anxiety or Crave Close, Secure Spaces

If your dog often hides under tables, seeks out cozy corners, or curls into tight balls when sleeping, it may be a sign of generalized anxiety or nervousness. A traditional flat bed won’t meet their emotional needs.

✨ Royal Touch:
Our beds are designed with raised, nest-like bolsters that mimic the safe, enclosed feeling of a den — giving your dog a place to feel secure, protected, and soothed.

It’s more than a bed. It’s their sanctuary.

5. 💔 Their Bed Is Flat, Lumpy, or Losing Shape

If your dog’s current bed is:

  • Lumpy or uneven

  • Flattened in the middle

  • Difficult to clean
    …it may be doing more harm than good.

Low-quality fillers collapse quickly, offering no orthopedic benefit — and may even worsen pressure on sensitive joints.

✨ Royal Touch:
Our beds are crafted with multi-layered orthopedic memory foam that’s guaranteed not to flatten. Every RoyalDen™ bed includes a machine-washable, ultra-durable cover that’s as elegant as it is easy to maintain.

👑 The RoyalDen™ Difference: Support. Style. Serenity.
