Why do orthopedic Buddy Beds work so well? Buddy Beds work so well because of the care and attention to quality throughout the manufacturing process. We are trying to make the best dog beds possible.
10 reasons you should buy a Buddy Bed1. Animal Wellness Seal Of ApprovalThere are a lot of 'orthopedic dog beds' out on the market today -- it is the hot new thing. How do you choose?

Excellent Therapeutic Comfort and Support.Memory foam is the ONLY material known to man that completely eliminates painful pressure points. Buddy Beds are designed for dogs that need that extra joint support and comfort. Perfect for older dogs suffering from canine arthritis, hip dysplasia, and joint issues. An exceptional bed for larger or overweight dogs. The memory foam in our orthopedic dog bed reacts to your Buddy's body temperature and weight to conform exactly to every curve and angle. By reacting to a very specific range of temperatures, the memory foam becomes soft where you want it -- and firm where you need it. Supporting your Buddy's body in perfect alignment! Helping your dog to remain pain-free and active longer.3. Memory Foam Dog Beds Take Away the Pain.It breaks our hearts to watch our beloved Buddy’s suffer from the pain of canine arthritis and hip dysplasia. Buddy Beds are designed for older dogs that need that extra joint support and comfort. Traditional dog beds with traditional materials create pressure points that cut off circulation preventing blood flow through the joint. It is just like oil in a car, the blood flowing through the joint lubricates the joint. Memory foam eliminates ALL of those painful pressure point -- allowing the blood to continuously lubricate the joint as your Buddy rests or sleeps upon their Buddy Bed. You will see as your dog uses their memory foam dog bed, they will not be as stiff and sore in the mornings after sleeping.Painful pressure points build up, and that is why pets (and humans) toss and turn to find a more comfortable position. Studies have show memory foam to reduce tossing and turning in humans by 90%. Buddy Beds orthopedic memory foam dog beds mold and contours to your Buddy's body, relieving those painful pressure points that cut off circulation. 4. There are different qualities of memory foam -- Buddy Beds uses only the highest quality available.There really are differences in the quality of memory foam! What does that mean? Memory foam is graded by density. All foam is defined by a series of numbers that reflect the weight and compression rations of a square foot of foam. Most common in the industry for testing purposes, is a piece of foam 4" X 12" X 12 feet square. Precision equipment is used in determining these ratios.Memory foam is graded by density. It is stated in terms of "lbs." The higher the number the higher the quality and the firmer the foam will be. Common Memory Foam on the market today:
5. Certified Non-Toxic Memory FoamBuddy Beds Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Beds uses a CERTIFIED safe, non-toxic memory foam, unlike many of our "warehouse" and "discount" imitators - that is how they keep the price so low. Buddy Beds memory foam is certified NOT to contain harmful chemicals or to 'offgas' harmful gases. Buddy Beds uses a safe, non-toxic memory foam which is a more expensive memory foam. (Read more about our factory in the section below). Our memory foam is certified non-toxic. If you have a question if the memory foam being used is non-toxic -- ask for the certification of the memory foam. Many are claiming their memory foam to be non-toxic - but it needs to be certified. Ask specifically who is certifing the memory foam. It needs to be certifed by a reputable, recognizable, governmental authority. Anyone can claim their memory foam is non-toxic -- but it needs to be certified non-toxic. PERIOD. In this difficult economy, we are see lots of large corporations, who specialties are other things, get into the 'dog bed business' because they know we love our dogs and will spend money to give them the qualtiy of life they deserve -- regardless of the economy. It is well known that the pet products business is considered 'recession proof', and for that reason and could be a lucrative venture. Sadly, there is not the concern for quality but the desire for profitabilty -- and we are seeing many of the 'wholesale' or 'discount' dog bed manufacturers cut corners. Ask these 'wholesale' dog bed companies how long they have been making memory foam dog beds. . .and, do they make other memory foam products than dog beds? If so, do they use the same memory foam in all their products? Are memory foam 'seconds' from their other manufacturing lines used in their dog beds? Here is interesting quote from an article on how memory foam manufacturers can cut corners: "I also was cautioned about manufacturers who unload bad pours of foam on unsuspecting customers in order to recoup their costs in pouring this foam." . . .and . . ."And, like all things, if the price seems too good, it may well be an indication that something isn't right and the foam may not be up to the advertised specifications.". Read the whole article: Quality Shortcuts Buddy Beds was one of the first memory foam dog bed manufacturers. All we make is Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Beds - nothing else.

We use the SAFEST, NON-TOXIC memory foam available in the world today !Is it true that memory foam made in the USA is a better quality and safer memory foam? This is a statement made by some dog bed manufacturers; however, it is not necessary true. Like all things, there are good overseas factories which sell a superior product, and then there are inferior factories that do in fact cut corners. We at Buddy Beds could make our dog beds with memory foam made in the USA - yet, here is why we do not. Buddy Beds has been fortunate enough to enter into a partnership with one of the largest, most respected baby products company. Our memory foam comes from the factory that only makes memory foam for baby products (and us). We want the same safety and security we offer our babies . . .for our dogs as well. The factory we work with has been certified to produce a safe, non-toxic product. The factory is audited and approved by Bureau Veritas, an accredited third party testing laboratory approved by the U.S. Government (CPSIA Act of 2008). This factory is audited once a year by Bureau Veritas as mandated by Babies R Us, as they manufacture BRU branded products. The key requirements in these audits are:
Interestingly, much of the memory foam manufactured in the USA does not live up to these exacting standards. So don't be fooled, just because it is made in the USA doesn't necessarily mean it is a high quality memory foam. Working with this respected factory allows us to buy a superior memory foam at a reasonable price. So rest assured, our memory foam contains no components or chemicals that could pose a health hazard to your dog! 7. Many Say They are an Orthopedic Dog Bed -- But They are Not!Many orthopedic dog beds still create pressure points. Don't be fooled by other "orthopedic" dog beds that do not use true memory foam! These materials are NOT memory foam and do not provide the orthopedic qualities of real slow recovery visco-elastic memory foam:
8. Our Unique Waterproof, Yet Breathable, Liner Protects the Memory Foam Dog Bed.Combining memory foam with a waterproof, yet breathable, fabric liner is an exclusive process to Buddy Beds. No one else takes this expensive step! It is our exclusive patented process. Technology has introduced numerous high performance fabrics that are waterproof, breathable, and flexible -- often used in performance outwear or tents. Our unique fabric liner protects the memory foam from:
Yet it is important that the liner 'breathe' -- this maintains cushion loft for your Buddy's comfort. 
Due to the liner, Buddy Beds are:
9. We Add Support Foam to the Memory Foam Dog Bed.Why does Buddy Beds use a support foam? This is a very critical step - yet a very expensive step! Because of the expense, not every 'orthopedic' dog bed takes this expensive step. If Buddy Beds just used memory foam alone, the longer your dog is resting or sleeping on the dog bed -- the deeper he/she would sink into the memory foam-- until ultimately hitting the floor creating a pressure point and defeating the whole purpose of the memory foam. This is known as "bottoming out".The supporting foam prevents your Buddy from dropping down to the floor. This is an expensive, yet critical and essential, step to make the memory foam dog beds function properly. 10. Buddy Beds Lasts for Years and YearsWe know this orthopedic dog bed is an investment, yet because it lasts it will cost you less in the end. Low quality beds break down quickly and don't offer any long term benefits.My beloved Webster is 105 pounds. He is still on one of the original Buddy Beds from when I started this company 4 years ago -- them memory foam has not lost any of its memory! Before that, I was buying him a bed from a well known national name(at over $100 a bed)every 6-9 months because they would mush out. Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. 11. Because you want only the best for your dog AND your dog knows and appreciates a quality dog bed.Do you want anything less than the best for your Best Friend? You buy the best food, the best treats, and the best toys. . .why should your Buddy's dog bed be different? And your Buddy know when his/her dog bed supports their backs and joints, insulates them from drafty floors, give a feeling of warmth and security, and most of all takes away the pain.Dog World Magazine named Buddy Beds - "The Rolls Royce of Dog Beds"Buddy Beds Voted Best Dog Bed - Pet Age Magazine 2008There is nothing like a Buddy Bed --
