FAQs
Choosing the right size
How do I know which size to choose for my dog?
Start with how your dog actually sleeps. If they curl up, you can size more snugly. If they stretch out or sprawl, go up a size. When in doubt, sizing up is always a safe bet.
Take a look at our Sizing Guide for more information.
What if my dog is between sizes?
If your dog sits between two sizes, we generally recommend the larger option. It gives them more room to stretch and tends to suit more sleep styles over time.
Are the beds suitable for puppies?
Yes. STAY beds are designed to last, so they work just as well for puppies as they do for adult dogs. Many people choose a size their dog will grow into, rather than replacing the bed later.
If I’m unsure, can I get help choosing?
Of course. If you’re stuck between sizes, reach out and tell us your dog’s breed, length, and how they like to sleep. We’re happy to help you decide.
Care and Cleaning
How do I wash the sheet sets?
Just like your own bedding. Pull them off, wash on a standard cycle with cold or warm water, and line dry in the shade or tumble dry on low. They’re designed to be washed regularly.
How often should I wash them?
As often as you feel like you need to. Some people wash weekly, others rotate sheet sets and wash as needed. That flexibility is the whole point.
Can I put the sheet sets in the dryer?
Yes, on a low heat setting. To extend the life of the fabric, line drying is ideal, but not essential.
What about the mattress? Does it need cleaning?
The natural latex mattress is mould and mite resistant and doesn’t need regular washing. Using sheet sets helps keep it protected. If needed, spot clean with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
Are the materials safe and suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Our sheet sets are made from GOTS certified organic cotton, and the mattress is 100% natural latex. Everything is designed to be breathable, durable, and safe people and pets.

PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
Is natural latex foam more supportive than memory foam?
Yes. Memory foam can cause dogs to sink too deeply, making movement difficult - especially for older dogs. Natural latex foam is buoyant and responsive, providing better spinal alignment and pressure relief without sagging.
Does natural latex foam sleep cooler than memory foam?
Yes. Memory foam’s synthetic composition and dense structure traps hot air, which can make dogs overheat. Natural latex has an open-cell structure that allows airflow, helping to regulate temperature and keep your dog cool.
Is natural latex foam hypoallergenic?
Yes. Natural latex is naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, making it a healthier option for dogs with allergies or sensitive skin. Memory foam, by contrast, can collect allergens over time.
Will a natural latex foam bed last longer than a memory foam bed?
Yes. Memory foam breaks down over time, developing dips and losing support. Natural latex foam is highly durable and maintains its shape and comfort for years.
Is natural latex foam safer for dogs?
Yes. Memory foam is made from synthetic polyurethane, which can off-gas harmful chemicals. Natural latex is non-toxic, made from rubber tree sap, and free from harmful additives.
Is a natural latex foam bed better for all sleeping positions?
Yes. Whether your dog sprawls, curls, or flops, natural latex provides the perfect balance of softness and support - without the heavy sinking feeling of memory foam.
Is natural latex foam more eco-friendly than memory foam?
Yes. Natural latex is renewable, biodegradable, and sustainably sourced, unlike memory foam, which is made from petroleum-based materials that contribute to environmental waste.
