A flat cushion on the floor isn't always the comfiest spot.
Large dogs carry a lot of weight, and a thick floor cushion can flatten under them over time. Down at floor level they lie on cold tiles in winter and on a warm, stuffy pad in summer – so many end up shifting from spot to spot, or sprawling on the bare floor instead.
A raised bed changes the set-up. Your dog lies on a taut, breathable surface held off the ground by a metal frame, with soft bolsters to rest their head and back against.
- Sleeping surface raised about 18 cm off the floor
- Breathable mesh panels let air move through the base
- Bolsters on three sides for a sense of security
Room to sprawl, strength to match.
The Zupawlio elevated bed is built around a sturdy metal frame with a fabric and mesh sleeping surface stretched tight across it, cot-style, rather than a stuffed cushion. It is designed to support dogs up to 60 kg.
At around 18 cm high, it is low enough for most large dogs to step straight on, with an open front for easy access and bolsters along the back and both sides.
Choose L or XL depending on how your dog likes to lie – if they love to stretch right out, the XL gives them more room.
- Metal frame with a taut, cot-style sleeping surface
- Designed for dogs up to 60 kg
- Open front – easy to step on and off
Three simple steps to a better rest
A raised bed is new to most dogs. A little patience in the first few days goes a long way.
Pick the right spot
Place the bed where your dog already likes to rest – by the sofa, in the kitchen or on the patio. The non-slip feet help it stay put and protect your floors.
Help them try it
Some dogs step straight on; others take a day or two. Pop a treat or a favourite toy on the bed and praise them when they climb up.
Keep it fresh
When it needs a clean, take the cover off and put it through the washing machine, following the care label, then refit it once it is dry.
From the living room to the garden patio.
The raised design works wherever your dog likes to keep an eye on things: in the living room, in a bright conservatory or out on the patio on a warm afternoon.
Because the sleeping surface sits above the ground, it stays off cold tiles and damp paving, and air can move underneath as well as through the mesh panels.
When you use it outdoors, bring it in during rain and bad weather to keep the bolsters and cover in good condition.
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
- Keeps your dog off cold or hard floors
- Non-slip feet to protect floors

High enough to lift your dog off cold or hard floors, low enough for most large dogs to step on easily.
Soft bolstersOn three sides
Plush, rounded bolsters along the back and both sides give your dog somewhere to rest their head and lean in.
Sturdy metal frameUp to 60 kg
A metal frame with a taut sleeping surface, designed to support large breeds up to 60 kg.

Why dog owners choose Zupawlio
Floor cushions can flatten and stay on the cold floor. Basic raised cots give your dog nothing to lean on. Ours brings the two together.

Comparison with typical stuffed floor cushion beds and basic raised cots without bolsters.
Their own spot, right where you are.
Big dogs like to be close to their people. Put the bed beside your desk, at the end of the sofa or by the back door, and they have a comfortable place of their own that's still in the middle of family life.
The clean, low-profile frame and charcoal bolsters sit neatly in a modern home, and the washable cover makes it easy to keep fresh after muddy walks.
- Next to your desk on work-from-home days
- In the kitchen or by the back door
- Out on the patio when the sun is out
