Replacement dog bed insert materials: recycled polyester fill, inner pillows and OEKO-TEX certified nylon fabric

When Should You Replace Your Dog Bed Insert?

You can tell when it’s time to replace the inner pillow and ring inserts once it become lumpy, flat and can no longer support the weight of your dog or cat.

Signs its time to replace the inner pillows:

  • If the inner pillow lays flat and you can feel the floor underneath
  • Lumps and empty spots from use and repeated washings.   Our inner pillows have a baffle design which allows access to the inner poly fil.   You can access this stuffing and “re fluff” but over time this becomes less effective.
  • If your dog avoids the bed and sleeps on the floor.  
  • Smells and odors that remain after repeated washings
  • Rips or tears in the white inner pillow fabric.

Replace the insert, not the whole bed

If the cover is still in good shape, you only need new inserts. Our replacement dog bed inserts come as a bolster ring, a center pillow, or both, in sizes XS to XL. They fit our Organic Cotton Round Dog Bed and most other round beds. Need an odd size? Send us your measurements and we'll make one at our mill in Maine.

Just a little flat?

If the inner pillow insert is intact but has lost some loft, top it off with replacement stuffing.   Our round dog beds are designed to remove and replace stuffing.

Cover worn out too?
