Bolster Dog Cot Elevated Pet Bed - Cooling, Washable Comfort

In this review the Bolster Dog Cot elevated pet bed is assessed for owners who want a durable, cooling sleep surface that works indoors and out. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of breathable mesh and a plush removable bolster that keeps medium dogs comfortable while allowing air to circulate and relieving pressure points. Assembly is tool-free and the cover and bolster are machine washable, making it a practical choice for active households, campers, and anyone who needs an easy-to-clean raised bed for a medium sized dog.

Key Features

• Bolstered comfort: A fluffy plush bolster provides a secure headrest and extra comfort for dogs that like to lean or curl up.
• Breathable mesh center: The mesh eliminates hot spots and lets air circulate under the pet to help keep them cooler in warm weather.
• Elevated frame: The raised metal frame keeps pets 7' off the ground to avoid wet or cold surfaces and reduce contact with dirt and bugs.
• Heavy-denier, water-resistant fabric: The waterproof cover stands up to outdoor use and can be hosed off or machine washed for easy cleaning.
• Sturdy weight capacity: Lightweight metal frame and cover construction support over 200 pounds, so the cot holds medium breeds and some multi-pet combinations.

Who It's For

The Bolster Dog Cot suits owners of medium sized breeds such as Bulldog, Boxer, Australian Shepherd, Blue Heeler, Basset, or Beagle who want a cool, elevated resting spot for warm months or damp conditions. It is also a smart pick for people who travel with pets, camp, or spend time at the beach because it disassembles without tools and is simple to clean.

Owners of very large breeds or pets that chew destructively should look elsewhere for a heavy-duty, chew-proof option with a larger footprint. If you need thick memory foam for orthopedic support, a foam mattress bed may be a better match than this mesh-centered cot.

Pros & Cons
