My Picky, 2-Year-Old Corgi Tried the Saatva Dog Bed—and It Completely Won Her Over

The Saatva Dog Bed is a luxurious and comfortable pet bed that stands out with its innovative features, including responsive micro-coils for better spinal support. Available in various sizes, it has received positive reviews from the author and her dog for its softness and style. This bed is ideal for dogs who are typically picky about where they sleep as it offers a cozy and inviting spot for them to rest.

My 2-year-old corgi, Dolly, is a picky girl, to say the least. She has a lot of quirks—for example, if water has been sitting in her dish for a while, she’ll refuse to drink it. She’ll only drink water that she sees us pour into her dish.

And if we give her a treat that she thinks is too soft or too crunchy, she won’t eat it—instead, she’ll toss it around the room and leave it in the middle of the floor, as if to say, “I’d like to swap this out for a different treat, please.”

So, with all these funny little traits and preferences, it came as no surprise to me that she was a dog who didn’t want to sleep on a dog bed. Instead, Dolly has always tucked into random corners or stretched out in the middle of the floor.

But then the Saatva Dog Bed came along earlier this year, and it got my attention. Since I sleep on a Saatva mattress every night—and can attest to its high level of comfort—I thought, “Maybe Dolly just might enjoy a Saatva ‘mattress’ of her own.”

And as it turns out, she loves it. Keep reading for an honest Saatva Dog Bed review.

What is the Saatva Dog Bed?

Think of the Saatva Dog Bed as a miniature version of the tried-and-true Saatva mattress. This isn’t an everyday dog bed you’d purchase at a big-box store. Instead, this is the very first dog bed to feature responsive micro-coils. Translation? It can help improve your pup’s spinal alignment and allow them to get up from napping more easily.

It’s also incredibly soft and warm while still being breathable, with its high-performance fabric cover that also repels water. Coming in sizes small, medium, and large, anyone is sure to find the perfect fit for their dog.

My honest Saatva Dog Bed review

Here’s the truth: I wasn’t sure if Dolly would even look in this bed’s direction. I’ve had a dog bed for a very long time in the corner of my office, and time and time again, she’s opted to sleep next to it instead of actually on it. It was one that I bought on sale at a big-box store that I thought was pretty comfy, but then I received the Saatva Dog Bed.

Honestly, it feels like a tiny cloud. I wouldn’t mind sleeping on this bed! It feels soft and squishy in all the right places, and it’s stylish too. I ordered the medium size, and the taupe boucle goes perfectly with my office decor.

As soon as I got it, I placed it in the corner and crossed my fingers that Dolly would pay attention to it. At first, I picked her up and placed her on the bed, and when she stayed for a minute or two, I rewarded her with a treat. But after that, she still didn’t lie on it. I thought, “Well, here’s another bed she won’t sleep on.”

Then, lo and behold, I started catching her snoozing on it! I’d leave my office for a minute, and when I returned, there she was, all comfy and cozy. She’s been using it regularly ever since. With all the dog beds I’ve tried with her over the past couple of years, this is the one that finally won her over.
