Big Barker VS. Normal Dog Beds
Drag to view the difference
Big Barker
Big Barker’s proprietary blend of triple-layer OrthoMedic™ Foam supports big dogs as they sink in, wrapping their joints in top-layer comfort foam. The core layer provides a small amount of give, sustaining comfort and preventing him from hitting the hard floor.
Normal Dog Bed
Normal, mass-produced dog beds are typically made with cheap polyfill or memory foam, which immediately collapses under a big dog’s body weight. With no core support layer, your dog’s joints press directly into the hard floor, creating uncomfortable pressure points.

| The Big Barker | Normal Dog Beds |
|---|---|
Supports Joint Our proprietary OrthoMedic ™ foam construction can support the weight of over 300 lbs of dog, protecting joints from painful pressure points. |
No Joint Support Normal dog beds offer absolutely no support to a big dog’s joints and aren't even able to comfortably support the weight of a medium sized dog. |
Big Enough Sized to give enough space for large and extra large dogs to fully stretch out. |
Too Small Big dogs can't even fit on a normal sized dog bed, let alone get a full stretch. |
Made in USA Proudly handmade by skilled craftsmen in our small workshop in Pennsylvania. |
Made in China Mass produced in a crowded Chinese factory without any love or expertise. |
10 Year Warranty We invented the “won’t flatten” warranty. The orthopedic foam lasts a full decade or we send you a new one! |
No Warranty When a normal dog bed falls apart or flattens like a pancake, you're forced to buy another at full price. |

Arthritis
When it Came to Arthritis,
Big Barker Really Gave Murphy
the Relief He Needed.
At only 3 years old, Murphy has a range of joint issues, including arthritis. But his Big Barker lets him get enough rest so that he can live life to the fullest.
“When we first got Murphy, he couldn’t sit properly. There were no park walks or mountain runs—he was in a lot of pain, and it was evident.”
“We worked with an orthopedic surgeon for two years to get him to his current state. He had three leg surgeries. Both hind legs had torn ACLs that needed repair. His elbow bones did not fuse properly, and the surgeon removed a piece of floating bone from the elbow that was causing him to limp.”
Murphy
Hip Dysplasia
Since he started sleeping on a Big Barker, Motley’s hip dysplasia doesn’t hold him back.
“When he was a year-and-a-half old, Motley tore his cranial cruciate ligament, so we had that fixed. At the time, they did rads of his hips and told us that he was showing early signs of hip dysplasia, and that within a year or two he would have full-blown hip dysplasia. They were pretty much right on. I would say at around age three his hip dysplasia really came in hot and heavy.”
Motley
Recovery
Cash was run over by a car and was struggling to recoup fully from his injuries. Then he got a Big Barker.
“After the accident it was like watching him walk around like a cripple every day. He used to be a friendly dog, but when he would wake up he’d be cranky. I didn’t like the way he acted on pain medicine. He didn’t want to eat. It didn’t look like it was mentally working for him—he was kind of loopy.”

Dogs can't talk, but people can!
We perform well under pressure.
With a triple-layer foam structure, the Big Barker bed prevents painful pressure points, resulting in better naps, better nights and better years for your big dog.
These are images taken by a pressure map sensor when a large dog tried 3 different types of dog beds.
Big Barker
No Pressure Points Whatsoever
BIG BARKER:Â The orthopedic foam structure distributes weight evenly and eliminates pressure points.
Normal Dog Bed
Pressure points (Red and Yellow areas) create massive discomfort
4 INCH MEMORY FOAM BEDS: These beds exhibited dramatic pressure points in all common resting positions.
POLYFILL “PILLOW” BED: Complete collapse of the bed structure causes dogs to suffer from severe and dramatic pressure points.
Big Barker
No Pressure Points Whatsoever
BIG BARKER:Â The orthopedic foam structure distributes weight evenly and eliminates pressure points.
Normal Dog Bed #1
Pressure points (Red and Yellow areas) create massive discomfort
4 INCH MEMORY FOAM BEDS: These beds exhibited dramatic pressure points in all common resting positions.
Normal Dog Bed #2
Pressure points (Red and Yellow areas) create massive discomfort
POLYFILL “PILLOW” BED: Complete collapse of the bed structure causes dogs to suffer from severe and dramatic pressure points.
This extreme comfort is only possible with our handcrafted 3-stage construction using our proprietary blend of American-Made foam.
Two layers of H10 comfort foam sandwich the otherwise inflexible H45 high-density support foam core.
The H45 layer can support 180 pounds per square inch—more than enough to comfortably support up to 300 pounds of dog weight—while the H10 layers provide a soft landing for your sweet pup.
This deliberate scientific calibration creates a more comfortable existence for big dogs: supporting their pressure curve, preventing joints from sinking into the floor, and relieving pressure points.
Big Barkers in the Wild!
Guaranteed to protect for at least 10 years.
Sick and tired of dog beds that flatten like pancakes?
So were we. That’s why we designed Big Barker with the highest quality, triple-layer, American-made foam to outlast every other dog bed on the market.
We guarantee that your Big Barker will support your big dog for at least 10 years, retaining at least 90% of its original shape, size and supportive power, or we'll replace it for free.
With Big Barker, there’s always more to love.
Stays Cool
Stays Cool
Big Barker only uses “open cell” foam, which allows air to move freely through the bed. Other materials, like memory foam, are “closed cell,” which trap hot air between your dog and the bed.
Easy To Clean
Easy To Clean
Up to 150 inches of zipper surrounding 75% of each bed makes it easy for you to remove Big Barker’s non-shrink covers and throw them in the washing machine.
Durable Covers
Durable Covers
Our covers are constructed with the toughest microsuede fabric, which holds up against digging and scores 100,000 or higher on the Wyzenbeek Abrasion test—the standard for measuring a fabric’s ability to withstand surface wear from rubbing.
Height Health Advantage
Height Health Advantage
Particularly in cases of SEVERE joint, nerve or skeletal problems, our elevated 7-inch height health-advantage allows your dog to "walk off" their Big Barker, not struggle to raise themselves from the "grounded start" provided by normal dog beds.
No Out Gassing
No Out Gassing
We use better ingredients and take better care of our foam than our competitors do. With a Big Barker, you’ll never get that nasty “chemical” smell that irritates the skin, nose, and eyes of both dogs and humans alike.
Waterproof Liners
Waterproof Liners
Our impenetrable, machine-washable waterproof liners are made from the same soft, quiet material used in hospital-grade mattresses. Add as an optional upgrade to protect your Big Barker from fluids 24/7.
Your Dog Loves it...
...Or You Don't Pay
"I trust this bed with my own dog's health. Try it for a year. If you don't feel the same sense of pride as I do when you see your own dog resting peacefully on their new bed, let me know, and you won't pay a penny."
