40 x 25 for Labs
We have two Labrador retrievers and they use these beds every day. I just bought a third bed; they're all in the same 40 x 25 size, brown with the plush top. The first bed has been in use for over two years and it is still in excellent shape. That bed is used constantly by one dog or the other; when the older dog gets up, the younger one sneaks onto it. I bought the second bed because the first is so good, and to upgrade from previous cheaper beds we've had. The younger female (4 yrs) sleeps on the second bed in our room at night, while the old man (9) sleeps either downstairs on the original bed (across from the wood stove) or upstairs on the carpeted floor (his choice). In the middle of a winter's night, when the wood stove starts to cool down, he will usually migrate. The third bed purchase was recently made to offer old Moose the same comfort when he comes upstairs at night. I suspect I will find him on it in the morning. Our dogs are fully grown Labs, 100 lbs each, and the 40 x 25 inch size bed seems to be plenty big for them - just big enough, like an adult on a twin bed. A bigger size might be more luxurious ... or a waste of floor space (my dogs are happy rescues, not pampered AKC show dogs). They always tend to have some appendage hanging off of any bed anyway. The size of the first bed was chosen to work in a congested location in our house, but since it works for our dogs we purchased the same size again. The foam is very supportive and has proven to be durable. I may have inadvertently stepped on it on occasion, and I'm not an AKC show dog either. It also retains body heat; the beds see somewhat less use during the hottest nights of the summer, when the dogs prefer to stretch out on the cool hardwood floors. The stiffness of the foam allows you to stand the bed on its edge for storage, vacuuming, etc. These are very comfortable, high-quality beds at a reasonable price. I highly recommended them.
