West Paw Heyday Dog Bed

West Paw markets the Heyday as a cushioned bolster bed rather than a medical-grade orthopedic mattress. Its soft central pad and raised perimeter may still help dogs that like supportive edges, but owners of dogs with serious arthritis may prefer a dense memory-foam bed.

Yes, the complete bed is designed to be machine washable, which is useful for muddy paws and routine odor control. Follow West Paw's care label and use a gentle cycle with mild detergent.

The Heyday uses IntelliLoft fill made from recycled plastic bottles rather than ZQ wool fiber. West Paw uses the same recycled fill technology across several of its Montana-made beds and toys.

It is a comfort bed, not a chew-proof product. Persistent chewers can tear the fabric or reach the fill, so the bed should be removed if a dog begins ripping or swallowing material.
