The Ridge — Orthopedic Sofa Dog Bed
A three-sided sofa bed with a raised armrest running around the back and sides, and an open front. The cover comes off for washing.
Dogs that sleep pressed against something — a wall, the edge of a couch, your leg — settle faster on a bed with sides. The open front matters too: an older dog never has to climb over a rim to get in.
Small — 50 × 40 × 15cm
Medium — 75 × 50 × 16cm
Large — 105 × 75 × 20cm
These are external dimensions: the footprint on your floor. On a bed with sides, the usable sleeping area inside the armrest is smaller than the outside measurement suggests.
Measure your dog lying stretched out on their side, from the nose to the base of the tail — not the tip. Add 15cm if they curl up to sleep, 30cm if they sprawl.
We are specific about this because the industry is not. Different retailers measure from different points, and the gap between two conventions can be 20cm on a large dog. It is the most common reason a bed arrives too small.
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.
