The Ultimate dog bed in Teal Blue-Green

Handcrafted for years of comfort.

The difference they feel.

A considered shape, supportive memory foam and practical details, designed to help them settle and feel secure.

The Ultimate, showing its raised bolsters, cushion and lower front entry
  • Support where they need it

    Memory foam pieces designed to distribute weight evenly, so joints are supported as they rest and recharge.

  • A shape that feels secure

    Bolsters at the back and sides curve around them, a natural place to lean in and rest.

  • Easy to get in and out

    A lower front entry helps dogs of all ages step in comfortably.

Also inside: water-repellent inner pouches protecting the foam, a water-resistant, non-slip base that keeps it in place and an outer fabric made from recycled bottles, tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Support and sleep

Created for better sleep.

Orthopaedic memory foam is designed to support dogs of different ages, sizes and sleeping positions.

  • Close-up of the memory foam pieces inside the mattress

    Support

    Comfortable whether they curl up or stretch out.

  • Inside the bed: the raised sides curving around the cushion

    Security

    An enclosed, cosy shape that helps them feel at ease.

  • Close-up of the soft recycled outer fabric in Navy Blue

    Temperature

    Individually cut memory-foam pieces create space within the cushion, allowing air to move through the construction and helping to regulate temperature and moisture vapour as they rest.

Colours for real homes

Designed to complement your home.

Contemporary colours and a considered shape, chosen to suit the room without changing the support inside.

  • Our dogs love the Eco Ultimate beds!

    As the title of my review says, both of our dogs love their new beds. They are very comfortable for them, and of very high quality. We wanted orthopaedic ones to give our senior dog more support and comfort, and it does that perfectly. Our young dog also enjoys the comfort of these beds. We highly recommend them.

  • Luxury orthopaedic dog bed

    My 6 month Weimaraner absolutely loves this bed and is now finally getting a cozy sleep throughout the night and not waking every hour - she loves the bumper round the edges and the very snuggly cushion in the bed. I am delighted with the all rou d quality and practicality for washing and changing covers too. The customer service was excellent from my initial enquiry and as promised was delivered promptly the very next day. Great quality bed and material and well worth the money. Thank you for such a great product and I really do highly recommend anyone to invest in this luxury dog bed - worth e very penny!!!

    Rosie has taken to her new bed straightaway!!

    We were a little concerned when we read that dogs can be reluctant to change to a new bed. Rosie, our beloved seven year old golden retriever, can be stubborn and certainly took a couple of years before she deigned to sleep on the nice bed we had got for her at the time. She had been very cosy on it ever since, and we were certainly prepared for another battle!! But we replaced this bed with the Baker & Bray bed the day it arrived, putting it in her favourite sleeping spot under the stairs, replacing the previous bed. And with a few encouraging words and a small bed-time treat, she moved in, and has been happily ‘going to bed’ there ever since. We are so glad to see her so comfortable. We think she is already showing signs that this lovely orthopaedic bed is easing her joint pain too. Thank you Baker & Bray.

Materials and sustainability

Around 40 recycled plastic bottles per Ultimate, on average. The outer fabric is made from recycled PET bottles and is soft, durable, non-toxic and hypoallergenic. It is tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Product Class II for products that come into contact with skin.

The orthopaedic mattress repurposes premium-grade memory-foam offcuts, while surplus mixed polyester fibre from the textile industry fills the bolsters. Replaceable covers help preserve the useful interior of the bed for longer.

The memory foam, the fibre and the inner pouches are designed to be repurposed or recycled. Local collection and recycling options vary, so check the appropriate route before disposal.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good orthopaedic dog bed?

Four things, in order: enough room to lie the way they actually sleep, support that still holds its shape in a year, a way to wash it, and an entry they can manage. The Ultimate uses individually cut memory-foam pieces rather than one solid slab, which is what lets it distribute weight and let air move through the cushion. The cover unzips for washing at 30°C, and the front is lower than the sides so an older or shorter-legged dog can step in rather than climb.

Is The Ultimate suitable for older dogs?

It is the bed we would choose for one, for measurable reasons rather than a claim: the lower front entry means stepping in instead of climbing, the memory foam distributes weight where joints press, and the sides give something to lean against when getting up. What it does not do is treat anything. If your dog is stiff, limping or in pain, that is a conversation with your vet first, and a supportive bed is what you add afterwards.

What is The Ultimate made from?

Soft, durable outer fabric made from recycled ocean-bound plastic bottles, with Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verification. The mattress uses repurposed premium-grade memory foam, and the bolsters are filled with surplus material from the textile industry. It is handmade in Europe.

How many recycled plastic bottles are used?

Around 40 recycled plastic bottles per Ultimate, on average. This is an average across the range of sizes.

Can I refresh the bed instead of replacing it?

Yes. The outer cover unzips from the foam and inner pouches and is machine washable, and spare interchangeable covers are available in every colour.

How supportive is the mattress?

The orthopaedic memory foam moulds to your dog’s shape, weight and sleeping position, and five separate sections let you set how firm it feels.

How does the memory foam help regulate temperature?

The beds use individually cut memory-foam pieces rather than one solid block. The spaces between the pieces allow air to move through the cushion, helping to disperse warmth and manage moisture vapour as they rest.

Is the fabric hypoallergenic?

The outer fabric is non-toxic and hypoallergenic, made from recycled PET bottles and tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Product Class II for products that come into contact with skin.

Are the beds waterproof?

The inner protective pouches or protector help protect the foam from everyday moisture. They are not a substitute for a fully waterproof cover unless the specific product is described as waterproof.

Can the covers be washed and dried?

The relevant removable covers can be washed at 30°C and tumble-dried on a low heat setting. Follow the care instructions for the specific product.

How do I wash the covers?

Open the hidden zip and take the cover off. Machine wash the cover on its own, cold and delicate, at no more than 30°C. Tumble dry on low heat, or air dry. Only wash the removable outer covers. Third-party fabric cleaners are used at the owner’s discretion.

Which size is right for my dog?

Measure your dog from nose to the base of the tail while lying naturally. If they stretch out or sit between sizes, choose the larger bed.

Can the mattress be used separately?

Yes. Remove it for use in a crate, while travelling or elsewhere in the home. Complete at home, the mattress in a crate, or the mattress away together: three ways to use one bed.

How does the 30-night risk-free trial work?

Let your dog try their bed at home for up to 30 nights. If they are not completely comfortable, you can return it for a full refund. All we ask is that you genuinely let your dog try the bed for at least 14 days first.

How quickly will it arrive?

Free UK delivery. For UK mainland orders placed before 3pm (GMT) Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays, we will do our best to deliver on the next working day. Delivery to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands is also free and typically takes 2 to 3 working days. International delivery is charged at checkout.

Can I pay with Klarna?

Yes. Choose Klarna at checkout to pay in 3 instalments, subject to Klarna’s eligibility checks.

Is it suitable for older dogs?

Yes. The supportive mattress and lower front entrance are designed to help dogs of every life stage settle comfortably.

Does it arrive ready to use?

Yes. The bed is delivered fully assembled, with no waiting for foam to expand.

Is it chew-proof?

No dog bed is indestructible. Inspect regularly and do not leave a persistent chewer unattended with it.

30-night risk-free trial

Give them 30 nights to discover the difference.

If they are not completely comfortable, return the bed for a full refund, subject to the published trial terms.
