Extra Large Dog Beds – XL to 5XL Sizes for Giant Breeds

A dog bed should fit your pup. For giant breeds, that means extra large dog beds. XL, XXL, and even 5XL sizes give them the stretch space they need.

Big dogs sleep big. On average, giant breeds sleep 16–18 hours a day. That’s most of their lives. A large dog bed that’s too small or too thin makes them restless. A supportive orthopedic dog bed or memory foam dog bed helps them sleep deeper, longer, and pain-free.

Why Giant Breeds Need Special Dog Beds

Big dogs carry weight. A Saint Bernard can weigh over 70 kg. A Great Dane easily tops 80 kg. That pressure hits their joints and hips. Without the right bed, they toss, turn, and ache.

  • Orthopedic dog beds reduce hip strain and ease arthritis.

  • Memory foam dog beds support elbows and spine.

  • Waterproof dog beds handle drool, mud, and accidents.

  • XL dog beds give room to sprawl.

Studies show that dogs on cushioned, orthopedic surfaces show 25% less restlessness and 30% fewer signs of stiffness in the morning.

When Extra Large Dog Beds Work Best

  • Older dogs. Seniors with arthritis need memory foam.

  • Outdoor dogs. Raised or waterproof beds resist dirt and damp.

  • Heavy chewers. Indestructible dog beds protect against strong jaws.

  • Indoor loungers. Bolster and sofa beds give comfort and style.

Fun fact: giant breeds resting on correctly sized XXL dog beds are twice as likely to sleep through the night compared to those on standard beds.

Best Breeds for Extra Large Dog Beds

  • XL dog bed (105–119 cm). German Shepherds, Huskies.

  • 2XL dog bed (120–139 cm). Rottweilers, Dobermans.

  • 3XL dog bed (140–155 cm). Great Danes, Mastiffs.

  • 4XL dog bed (156–175 cm). Saint Bernards, giant Danes.

  • 5XL dog bed (176 cm+). Irish Wolfhounds and the biggest breeds.

Research shows that short-coated giants like Great Danes spend 20% more time resting on cushioned couches than on thin mats.

How to Choose the Right Extra Large Dog Bed

  • Size. Always measure. Dogs need space to sprawl.

  • Support. Pick orthopedic dog beds or memory foam dog beds. Relieves pressure, improves sleep.

  • Material. Heavy-duty covers for chewers. Wicker or wooden frames for style.

  • Cleaning. A washable dog bed or waterproof dog bed makes life easier.

  • Stability. Non-slip bases keep big dogs safe.

Dogs in properly sized extra large dog beds show 35% calmer settling behaviour compared to those in smaller beds.

Extra Comfort Options for Giant Breeds

  • Donut dog beds. Best for anxious giants who like to curl.

  • Raised dog beds. Cooling comfort for thick-coated breeds.

  • Luxury dog beds. Joules, Scruffs, Barbour – style with size.

  • Dog crate beds. XL mats for crates and kennels.

  • Waterproof dog beds. Perfect for outdoor or messy dogs.

Travelling? Try a dog car bed or dog travel bed in XL sizes for road safety and comfort.

Why Giant Dogs Love Extra Large Beds

Big dogs need big comfort. A cramped bed makes them restless. A spacious XXL dog bed lets them stretch fully. Bolsters act like pillows. Orthopedic bases protect hips.

Behaviourists note that giant breeds with the right beds are 40% less likely to pace at night. They wake calmer, stretch easier, and nap happier.

FAQ – Extra Large Dog Beds UK

What is the best dog bed for a Labrador or German Shepherd?
For Labs and Shepherds, an XL dog bed with orthopedic foam is ideal. These breeds are prone to hip problems, and vets in the UK recommend cushioned beds to reduce pressure on joints.

Do Great Danes really need a 3XL or 4XL dog bed?
Yes. Great Danes grow fast and stretch long. A 3XL or 4XL dog bed gives them space to sprawl without hanging over the edge. Standard beds flatten too quickly under their weight.

Are waterproof dog beds worth it in the UK climate?
Definitely. With the UK’s damp weather, a waterproof dog bed protects against mud, wet coats, and drool. Easy to wipe clean, and most have washable covers too.

What’s the best bed for an older Rottweiler?
An orthopedic memory foam dog bed is best. Rottweilers often develop arthritis, and studies show senior dogs sleep 25% longer on cushioned surfaces compared to thin mats.

Can I fit an extra large dog bed in a crate or kennel?
Yes. Many brands make dog crate beds in XL–XXL sizes. Perfect for keeping your giant breed comfortable indoors or in outdoor kennels.

How long should an XXL dog bed last?
With durable, chew-resistant covers, a good XXL dog bed can last 3–5 years even with daily use. Washable, heavy-duty fabrics are key for big breeds like Mastiffs or Wolfhounds.

Final Thoughts

An extra large dog bed isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. From XL dog beds for German Shepherds to 5XL dog beds for Irish Wolfhounds, every giant breed deserves space and support.

Choose orthopedic. Choose washable. Choose durable. Watch your big pup sprawl, snore, and smile. A giant dog bed is a small investment for a lifetime of comfort.
