The Ortho Sleeper Comfort Couch with a Removable Cushion made by the Carolina Pet Company is one of the best investments we have made for our dogs.
As our Golden Retriever has aged, it has gotten harder for her to get up after a nap. We have hardwood floors in the kitchen and den, which are the areas of our home that we stay in most of the time. Hardwood floors are easier to clean, but they are not easy on old bones. When our pretty girl turned 11, her daddy was determined to find her a soft place to lay down, so he went in search of the very best orthopedic bed for dogs.
To avoid any appearance of favoritism, he purchased a dog bed for our Labrador Retriever too even though he was only 6 at the time. As it turns out, Merlin, the lab, loves the doggie couch beds the most.
We originally put the two beds side by side on the den floor, but Merlin, the lab, wanted one in the bedroom too. They aren't as necessary in our bedroom because that floor is carpeted, but Merlin wanted one in there. Since he is clearly strong enough to drag his own bed into the bedroom, we decided to leave one bed in the den and one in the bedroom. We have never allowed our dogs to sleep in our bed and I believe Merlin feels it is only fair that he should also have a bed in the bedroom too. This unexpected arrangement has actually worked out quite well for us and our pups.

Our Goldie doesn't like sleeping on the carpet in our bedroom. She prefers the cold tile in front of the unlit fireplace. Therefore, she has not been keen to sleep in one of the doggie beds at night, but she will nap in them during the day. They seem perfectly welling to share the beds, one at a time of course. Therefore, having the beds in separate rooms is actually ideal.
Now, every night, Merlin lays down on his doggie sleeper couch, curls up into a ball, and goes sound asleep at the foot of our bed, while our Daisy girl seeks out the cooler tile floor that seems to allow her to sleep better throughout the night.

The Ortho Sleeper Comfort Couch for Dogs
When the dog beds arrived, I thought they were a strange design because they are a cushioned couch with sides, a back and a removable pillow. If I had been selecting the dog bed, I would have picked one that is designed more like the removable pillow only. However, I would have been wrong. It seems like both of our pups like the back and arms on the dog bed. They frequently will lay in the bed with their head resting on the arm section of the "couch". Their little eyes are the only thing moving as they watch the comings and goings in the den.

CPC Ortho Sleeper Large Comfort Couch with Removable Cushion, ChocolateCheck PriceI have truly been amazed at the durability of these dog beds. Even after 2 years of use, by two large dogs, they have held their shape and have no rips, tears or even bare spots in the fabric. The covers are machine washable. .
The only negative that I have found about the Ortho Sleeper Comfort Couch for dogs, is that it is hard to stuff the cushion sections into the zippered covers. But, it is well worth the effort when I see my pups resting peacefully in their beds.
While writing this article, I discovered that there are some knock-offs of the Carolina Pet Company bed that are less expensive. I cannot begin to assess the quality of any other brand, even if it looks the same. I certainly would not recommend buying one just because it looks similar. The quality of the fabric or the cushions may well be inferior, thus making it less expensive to make the beds. Like anything else, I would not expect inferior products to be comparable in durability or comfort.
One of the hardest decisions was what size to buy. We purchased the 37 x 56 size for our dogs. As you can see in the photos, that is clearly big enough for large dogs. Merlin is a 98lb Labrador Retriever and Daisy is a 97lb Golden Retriever mix. It is available in one size smaller (32 x 47) and in one size larger (48 x 69).
