The Dog Mat Wellness offers maximum comfort, especially for older dogs or dogs with joint and spine problems. Memory foam has been used in medicine for humans for many years. It moulds around the body and takes the strain off joints and spine. This effect is achieved through body warmth which causes the body to sink into the mattress. The Dog Mat Wellness guarantees restful, restorative sleep. The memory foam will return to its original shape again and again.

As the memory foam mattress will be tightly compressed, please allow up to 48 hours after unpacking for the mattress to fully unfold and reach its full height. A protective underlay should be placed beneath the bed when used on parquet or PVC floors to avoid possible discolouration.
