The Hollow — Orthopedic Bolster Dog Bed
A flat foam base with a bolstered rim running the whole way round, and a removable cover. Built in large sizes only.
This is the bed for a dog that sleeps with its head up on something. The rim gives them that without the enclosed feeling of a donut bed, and the base underneath stays level rather than collapsing under a shoulder.
Large — 83 × 57 × 25cm
XL — 97 × 72 × 29.5cm
2XL — 120 × 90 × 30cm
3XL — 135 × 100 × 33cm
External dimensions. The rim takes up room on every edge, so the flat area your dog actually lies on is smaller than the outside measurement.
Measure your dog lying stretched on their side, nose to the base of the tail. Add 15cm for a curler, 30cm for a sprawler.
Sizing matters more on a bolster bed than any other shape, because the rim eats into the usable space. If you are between two sizes here, take the larger one.
Our method
Most listings give the outside of the bed. That number includes the bolster, which your dog cannot lie on.
We publish the external footprint in centimetres and tell you where the rim eats into it. We are measuring the internal area and will publish it as it is confirmed.
Plain language
Anyone can print the word on a bag of polyester fill.
We publish what each bed is made of rather than just the word. We don’t claim a bed treats anything — that’s a question for your vet.
What we don’t know yet
It is also the one most stores never print. We are collecting verified figures with test reports from our manufacturers.
Until a figure is evidenced we will not print it. An unsupported number is worth less than an honest gap.
Every line below is something we do or don't do. None of it is a claim about what a bed does to your dog.
We would rather show our working than tell you a bed fixes anything.
