George Barclay Orthopaedic Dog Sofa Bed

George Barclay’s orthopaedic sofa bed provides your dog with the perfect combination of comfort, support and security. The three-sided bolster, which runs around the top of the sofa, is filled with our blended memory foam particles. The bolster offers a firm, supportive surround for your dog to curl against, or rest their head on while they sleep.
Customers are able to choose from two types of mattress for their dog. A blended memory foam mattress is recommended for dogs that like to settle into their bed. Alternatively, a memory topper mattress (pictured), provides a firmer sleeping area. Both mattresses are orthopaedic, providing greater support for your dog and promoting a more restful night’s sleep.
As with all George Barclay dog beds, the outer cover is removable for cleaning. The inner fillings are contained within a moisture shield liner, helping to keep the filling clean and fresh.
A good selection of colours and styles can be found at: georgebarclay.co.uk. The sofa bed is available in two sizes: medium (as pictured), and large, with prices starting at £99.99. To find your nearest stockist, visit georgebarclay.co.uk/pages/store-locator
