Hemp
Petique Eco-Friendly Hemp Cover for Memory Foam Orthopedic Mattress
​
If a white cover and pup don't quite go together, not uncommon for the more outdoorsy pup type, there is a lovely brown hemp cover available to go with the Petique Memory Foam Orthopedic Mattress (see above). Made from 100% sustainable hemp, it is durable and washable, with a zipper for easy on/off.
​
Available in small, medium and large sizing to coordinate with the beds, prices range from approximately $24 to $30 on Amazon.
​
Linen
Bowsers Microlinen Covers
​
Upholstery grade fabric in a plethora of colors and designs, the wide availability of options in Bowsers beds and bed covers will likely appeal to many. Widely distributed, these are relatively easy to find, from niche boutiques to big-box retailers. The linen base for the fabric heads in the right direction for becoming more eco-friendly, but not quite ready to give up on designer options.
​
Donut beds, crescent beds, urban loungers, piazza beds, crate mattresses and even a pup sofa can all be found with Oeco-Tex Certified covers (certified free from harmful chemicals, both in production and as an end product). Though not all appear to be available in microlinen at this writing.
​
Depending on the product, sizes run from small to XXL for the super-sized pup, with prices ranging from about $73 to $180 for a crate mattress (small to XXL), and $135 to $300 for an ortho bed (small to XL). Pick your design at Bowsers or search on Amazon for some good finds.
