Best Dog Beds Are Memory Foam Beds
By Rodger G Allenby
It’s a trend that’s been developing for some time, which is memory
foam beds as the best dog beds for pets who have arthritis or
creaky joints, or who are just getting older and less limber.
You’ve heard of memory foam beds for humans, in which polyurethane
cells in the mattresses mold themselves to the sleeper’s body
and return to their original shape when the person gets up.
These beds provide support like no other mattress, so they’ve
been recommended for humans with spine or joint problems. There’s
no reason why dog bed furniture of memory foam can’t do the same
for pets.
Memory Foam Gives Support For Creaky Joints
The best dog beds for joint problems like this should provide
a cushion that reduces pressure, to relieve the pain of the joints
themselves and the accompanying muscles. Memory foam gives that
sort of support.
This is especially good for larger dogs, because many are prone
to hip dysplasia, a degenerative joint disease where hip joints
don’t always fit properly and the muscles near the rump are weak.
Large dog beds made of memory foam can relieve aggravation of
the affected limbs when the dog lies down, or ease sore muscles
on dogs that have worked hard during the day.
Retains Heat In Winter And Cooler In The Summer
Some people provide heated dog beds for their companions with
joint problems, but it’s possible that memory foam beds do just
as well as those. One advantage of memory foam is its breath-ability.
This means that it retains heat in wintertime, but is cooler in
the summer when overheating might otherwise be a problem.
The extra winter warmth of memory foam beds is what may make
them the beds for arthritic animals, because not only would they
retain the dog’s body heat when it’s needed, but they’d also provide
protection against floor temperatures that might get a bit too
cool at night.
The Best Support And The Best Sleep
There would be minor inconveniences with this sort of pet bed,
such as getting a sturdy enough cover to deter even the most determined
chewer. You don’t want to get a bed to help their joints and then
have them eating the polyurethane mattress.
But if these are the best dog beds for joint and muscle problems,
then you likely won’t mind spending a little extra to make
sure your canine friend is completely safe. Whatever it takes
to review your options and give them the best support and the
best sleep they can get is going to be worth it.
