Large QuietTime Double Bolster Pet Bed 42 in - Cozy Crate Mat

Our review of the Large QuietTime Double Bolster Pet Bed finds it best suited for large, crate-kept dogs that need extra perimeter cushioning. The single biggest reason to consider this bed is the double bolster design that unrolls to create an extra-deep cushioned edge, giving dogs who like to lean or curl up a clear comfort advantage while still fitting securely in a 42 in crate. The fleece surface and polyfiber base deliver noticeable softness and support for naps and overnight rest, and the machine washable construction keeps it practical for daily use.

Key Features

• Sized for Large Breeds: Measures 42 x 27.75 x 6.5 in and is intended for dogs around 71-90 lbs, matching common large breeds like Australian Shepherds and Labradors.
• Double Bolster Comfort: Stacked bolsters unroll into a deeper cushioned perimeter so pets that lean on crate sides get extra padding and security.
• Crate-Friendly Design: Four elastic corner straps secure the mat to a 42 in crate pan to prevent slipping and bunching while the pet moves.
• Soft and Supportive Materials: Luxuriously soft fleece top with a cushioned polyfiber base provides cozy surface comfort and moderate support for rest.
• Easy Care: Fully machine washable and dryer friendly so the bed can be refreshed after travel or daily use without special treatment.
• Versatile Use: Works in crates, carriers, vehicles, or as a standalone bed for home or travel situations where a secure, cushioned mat is helpful.

Who It's For

This bed is aimed at owners of large dogs who use a 42 in crate and want extra perimeter padding for pets that like to curl up or rest against the crate sides. It is a practical choice for families who need a crate mat that stays in place and can be washed frequently after travel or outdoor activity.

Owners seeking heavy orthopedic support for seniors with serious joint disease should look elsewhere, as the bed provides cushioned comfort rather than firm therapeutic memory foam. Likewise, if your dog is a destructive chewer the elastic straps and fleece surface are not intended to withstand persistent chewing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable fleece surface and cushioned polyfiber base that dogs consistently enjoy.
• Double bolster that unrolls for a deeper perimeter cushion, helping against crate bar pressure.
• Elastic corner straps keep the mat secure inside a 42 in crate to reduce slipping and bunching.
• Machine washable and dryer friendly for easy maintenance and frequent use.

Cons

• Durability reports are mixed; some customers note the bed held up well while a few experienced wear after washing.
• Size perception varies by breed and crate model, so measure your crate and dog to confirm the 42 in fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bed fit my 42 in wire crate?
The mat is designed to fit inside a 42 in crate pan and uses four elastic corner straps to secure it to the pan, so it will fit most standard 42 in crates from the same maker.

Can I put this in the washing machine and dryer?
Yes, the cover and mat are fully machine washable and dryer friendly for routine cleaning.

Is this suitable for older dogs with joint pain?
It offers cushioned comfort but is not a firm orthopedic memory foam; dogs with serious joint conditions may need a specialized orthopedic bed.
