This page gathers bedding made to fit dog crates: plush washable crate beds around 35 by 23 inches, waterproof orthopedic crate beds with supportive foam, padded crate mats with corner ties, quilted cotton floor mats, plush ribbed mattress beds and reversible sherpa fleece mats. They are for owners who want a crate that feels like a comfortable den, from puppies in training to adult dogs who rest in an open crate. The guide below covers sizing and choosing for chewers.
Why a crate needs a proper bed
A bare crate tray is hard and slippery. A pad cut to the crate's size gives your dog grip and cushioning, insulates against cold floors and makes the crate feel like a den rather than a box. Dogs who are comfortable in their crate are more likely to choose it for naps even with the door open.
Crate pads also help with crate training. The AKC recommends making the crate a pleasant place with treats, meals and a comfortable bed, so your dog associates it with rest and safety rather than confinement.
Sizing a crate bed
Crate beds are sold to match standard crate sizes. Measure the inside floor of your crate, length and width, and choose a pad that fits that space closely. A pad that is too large bunches up and buckles, while a pad that is too small slides around and leaves gaps.
Common sizes run from small crates around 24 inches long to extra-large crates over 48 inches. Check the thickness too: a thick orthopedic bed may raise your dog enough to touch the crate roof, so measure the crate height if your dog is tall.
Plush, orthopedic or waterproof
Plush crate beds are soft and cozy, suited to adult dogs who do not chew. Orthopedic crate beds use supportive foam that helps older dogs and large breeds with joint stiffness. Waterproof crate beds protect the foam from accidents, which is helpful for puppies in house training and senior dogs.
Padded mats with corner ties stay in place on the crate floor. Reversible sherpa mats give a warm side for winter and a smoother side for warmer months. Quilted cotton mats are light, breathable and easy to wash.
Puppies and chewers
Puppies and adolescent dogs often chew crate bedding, and swallowed stuffing or fabric can cause a blockage. For a chewer, start with a thin, durable mat or a washable pad with no loose threads, and supervise. Remove the bed if your dog shreds it.
Once chewing settles, you can move to a plusher bed. Giving a safe chew toy in the crate also redirects chewing away from the bedding. If your dog repeatedly destroys bedding, it may be a sign of anxiety or boredom worth discussing with a trainer or vet.
Washing crate bedding
Wash crate pads and covers every week or two, and immediately after accidents. Choose machine-washable bedding with removable covers where possible. Dry thoroughly before putting it back, since damp bedding can smell and grow mildew.
Clean the crate tray at the same time with warm water and a pet-safe cleaner. Keeping a spare pad means your dog always has a bed while one is in the wash, which helps keep the crate routine consistent.
Should I put a bed in my dog's crate?
Yes, for most dogs. A crate pad adds comfort, grip and warmth and helps your dog see the crate as a den. For puppies or chewers, use a durable mat and supervise.
What size crate mattress do I need?
Measure the inside floor of your crate and choose a pad that matches closely. Standard crate bed sizes are designed to fit common crates from about 24 to 48 inches long.
What crate bed is best for a puppy?
A thin, washable, chew-resistant mat or waterproof pad works best while your puppy is house training and teething. Move to a plusher bed once chewing settles.
Are orthopedic crate beds worth it?
For senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with joint stiffness, a supportive orthopedic crate bed can make resting more comfortable. Check the bed's thickness against the crate height.
How do I keep a crate pad from sliding?
Choose a pad that fits the crate floor closely, or one with corner ties that attach to the crate bars. Non-slip backing also helps. A pad that is the right size rarely slides.
