Choosing the right donut bed size keeps your pup cozy, supported, and calm. Donut beds are typically measured by their outer diameter and feature a plush bolster that hugs your dog. To get the best fit, you’ll want enough inner sleeping space for your dog to curl up while still enjoying that snug, “cloud” feel.
Weight is a helpful starting point, but body length and sleep style matter. Curled-up sleepers can often go smaller; sprawlers and fluffy coats do better sizing up. For multi-dog households or pets who like to share, choose the size that comfortably fits the largest dog.
Look for supportive bolsters, a cushy center, and washable covers to keep the bed fresh. High-quality fill bounces back after use and supports joints, making it ideal for anxious pups and senior dogs.

Measure nose-to-base-of-tail while your dog sleeps, then add 4–8 inches. If your pup is between sizes or likes to sprawl, size up for extra comfort and support.
