Indoor beds fail outdoors. They absorb damp from the ground, take days to dry and go mouldy. This one is waterproof through the whole construction rather than just on the cover, so it can sit on a patio, in a garage or in a car boot and be hosed down instead of washed.
Key Benefits
- Waterproof throughout, not just a treated cover
- Hoses clean instead of needing a washing machine
- Anti-slip base grips patios, decking and car boots
- Cushioned rather than a thin waterproof sheet
- Dries quickly after rain or cleaning
- Handles mud, wet fur and outdoor grime
Best For
- Patios, decking and garden use
- Car boots and estate cars
- Campsites and caravans
- Garages and utility rooms
- Dogs that come in wet and muddy
How It Works
Use it anywhere a fabric bed would be ruined. Hose it down and stand it on edge to drain rather than laying it flat to dry. In a car boot the anti-slip base matters more than the padding, since it stops the whole mat sliding on corners.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Genuinely survives outdoors, cleans with a hose, grips properly in a car boot, and it has real padding rather than being a glorified groundsheet.
Cons: Waterproof fabric is not breathable and feels cold and slightly plasticky, so most dogs will not choose it over an indoor bed. It is also heavier and stiffer than a normal mat.
Things to Consider
- Not breathable, and cool to lie on compared with fabric beds
- Most dogs prefer an indoor bed when given the choice
- Heavier and stiffer than a fabric mat
- Stand it on edge to drain rather than drying it flat
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
