Top complaints
Orvis RecoveryZone Lounger Dog Bed
- Expensive
Wirecutter says it's far more expensive than its top picks ($209 at Orvis); Orvis lists $209 to $319 by size.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT), Orvis (maker) - Hard to tell when it's clean
In spot-cleaning tests, the weave was almost too good at masking dirt and fake vomit; Wirecutter recommends regular vacuuming and washing however clean it looks.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - Tall for tiny dogs
The Spruce Pets notes every size is 5 inches high, which might be too high for very small dogs.
Majestic Pet Suede Bagel Dog Bed
- Inside wears out
After two years, Wirecutter found several rips in the bolster's inner liner, though the outer suede was intact; it says a bed at this price probably won't last forever. Amazon's summary says some owners report it fell apart within 30 days.
- Annoying to wash
Small and medium sizes have no removable cover, so the whole bed goes in the washer (Wirecutter, maker). On large sizes, the zippers sit deep in a dirt-collecting crevice, and reassembly takes several minutes.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT), Majestic Pet (maker) - Stains can linger
Wirecutter could still see a faded spot after spot-cleaning; how much shows depends on the color.
