We see it all too often: dogs tossing and turning all night, getting up, moving around, or even preferring to lie on the hard floor over their bed. For many dog parents, this is frustrating and painful to witness. You want your dog to sleep as comfortably as you do, don't you?
In this ultimate guide, you'll discover why a good night's sleep is crucial for your dog, what often goes wrong, and how an orthopedic dog cushion , an orthopedic dog bed , or a luxury dog bed can make all the difference to his health and your night's sleep.
Why good sleep is so important for dogs
Dogs sleep an average of 12 to 14 hours a day—some breeds and older dogs even longer. During this sleep, their muscles and joints recover, stress hormones are released, and their bodies recharge for a new day.
Poor sleep due to an uncomfortable or unsuitable sleeping place can lead to:
- Painful joints and stiff muscles
- Restless behavior and sleep interruptions
- Reduced mobility in the long term
- Stress and fatigue during the day
A good night's sleep is therefore not a luxury, but an absolute necessity for the health and well-being of your dog.
Common mistakes with dog sleeping places
Many dogs still sleep on cheap or worn-out beds that:
🚩 being too thin and not providing support
🚩 are too small, so they cannot lie down completely
🚩 quickly collapse and look clumsy in your interior
🚩 are difficult to clean and get stuck with hair
The result? Your dog prefers the floor or the couch, leaving you with guilt and frustration.

Tips for a better night's sleep for your dog
✔️ Choose a bed that is large enough for your dog and thick enough to provide support.
