What is a bolster dog bed?
Bolster dog beds are essentially just like any other dog bed except for an important advantage – their elevated sides.
These elevated sides, also known as bolsters, offer your furry friends a comfortable, padded area to rest their head as they snooze all night long. The bolsters take the place of “pillows” and can be built into a dog bed in various ways, with the most common ones being:
- Only on one side
- On 3 different sides
- Halfway through the bed, taking the form of a semicircle
- All the way around the bed, forming a doughnut shape
