Dog PillowLarge Washable Sherpa Fleece Dog Bed Cushion, Amish Made

• Handcrafted Quality: Hand sewn by Old Order Amish women in the American Heartland, the same careful way they sew for their own families. Made in the USA.
• The Dog Pillow You Can Wash Whole: The entire pillow goes straight into the washing machine, no cover to zip off first. Wash it on a delicate cycle with cold water, then air dry or use a cool dryer setting, and it comes back soft as ever.
• True Large Size: At 34 1/2" x 22 1/2" x 3" tall, this large dog pillow bed gives even a very big dog room to stretch out flat. It is sized for our large woven basket dog bed, sold separately, and works just as well on its own.
• Double-Layer Sherpa Fleece: Extra deep, high-pile Sherpa fleece on both the top and the bottom, with a soft filled center for support. One customer calls it soft yet firm and admits she wants to stretch out on it herself.
• Holds Its Shape: This cushion will not ball up or become deformed with use or washing. One owner of a 125 pound dog reports the extra deep cushion is just right and is not matting down.
• Four-Season Comfort: A true sherpa dog bed, it lets air flow through the fleece to keep your dog cool in summer and reflects his own body heat back to him in winter.
• Gentle on Older Dogs: The supportive fill makes this a therapeutic cushion for arthritic, convalescing, or elderly dogs. The fleece is naturally hypoallergenic and non-irritating, wicks away moisture so the surface stays dry, and resists stains and bacteria.
• American Heritage: Sewn in the Heartland and made in the USA, backed the way we back everything we sell, with free shipping, a lifetime guarantee, and no-questions returns.

A good dog pillow earns its keep on the first cold night, when your dog circles twice, sinks into the deep Sherpa fleece, and does not stir until morning. This large dog bed pillow measures 34 1/2" x 22 1/2" x 3" tall, sized so a big dog can stretch out flat instead of curling up on a pad that is too small. It is also the largest size the ladies make. The fleece comes to them in big rolls that they cut into the listed sizes as soon as it arrives, so if your dog needs room, this is the one to choose. Lay it inside our large woven basket dog bed, which is sold separately and can be added right on this page, or set it anywhere on the floor as its own pillow dog bed. One reviewer put it plainly: their dog has rejected all of his other beds since this one arrived.

The question we hear most is about washing, so here is the whole answer. The cushion is completely machine washable, and the whole pillow goes in, with no cover to zip off first. Wash it on a delicate cycle with cold water, then let it air dry if you can, or use a cool setting on the dryer. It will not ball up or become deformed, and it only gets more comfortable with every wash. The fleece wicks moisture so the surface stays dry, and it naturally resists stains and bacteria, which turns a senior dog's accident into a simple load of laundry instead of a ruined bed. And if you have a truly heavy dog and worry about flattening, take heart. One customer with a 125 pound dog tells us the extra deep cushion is just right and is not matting down.

Because it is such a simple, useful shape, this cushion finds places all over the house. Use it as a dog bed mat beside your reading chair, at the foot of your bed, or in the sunny spot by the window your dog follows through the day. The Sherpa fleece serves in every season, airy in July and warm in January, so the same pillow works year round. One family with dalmatians summed it up: nice and warm and so easy to clean. Fair warning from another owner, though. She calls it soft yet firm and so comfy that she wants to stretch out on it herself.

Every one of these cushions is hand sewn by Old Order Amish women in the American Heartland, part of the same community of families on the Iowa-Missouri border who weave our baskets. It ships free, it is covered by our lifetime guarantee, and if your dog turns out to be the rare one who does not claim it on sight, our no-questions return policy has you covered.
