Our best friend's bed is a very important aspect of their daily rest, but above all, of their overall well-being. Today we know that having a bed in good condition is just as important for them as it is for us. The days when dogs slept on the floor without any consideration are long gone. We care greatly about their rest because we know that a padded surface insulated from the floor ensures that the dog does not lose its body heat while resting, while also protecting the health of its bones.
So much so that many ARISTOPARENTS write to us to ask how to choose the right bed. So we have decided to share this information with everyone, to help make the decision a little easier. 
1. Consider their size
Your dog's size is decisive when choosing a bed. A Chihuahua does not need the same amount of space or the same materials as a Bullmastiff, for example. But it is true that your dog must be able to stretch out completely in its bed, without feeling cramped or having to leave any of its limbs hanging over the edge due to a lack of space.
2. Observe the position your dog sleeps in
Some dogs prefer to sleep stretched out, while others enjoy curling up. And it is important to take this into account. Just as when we go looking for a new bed and store assistants ask us about our sleeping habits.
3. Put your dog's comfort before the bed's aesthetics
The variety of dog beds is immense. The range of models extends from mattresses and cushions to sophisticated sofas reminiscent of designs made for people. In fact, it is hard not to fall in love with the design of certain models… That is why it is important to choose with a cool head and put comfort before aesthetics.
4. Calculate the space you have available
It is clear that we want the best for our ARISTODOGS, but that does not necessarily have to be associated with the size of their bed. Bigger, more sophisticated or more imposing does not mean better. Quite the opposite: if space is limited at home, an excessively large bed can end up being a problem. Bear in mind that it is recommended that our best friends' bed always stays in the same place, so as not to alter their habits or routines. So if you put the bed in the living room, you should leave it there.
Although it is advisable to have more than one depending on the layout of the home.
5. The season of the year matters
Our best friends feel cold and heat too, so this is very important. In winter they will appreciate blankets and feeling warm and snug; but that probably will not work in summer, especially if we live in warm areas. Therefore, we must pay close attention to the bed's material or fabrics (linen-like fabric is not the same as plush fabric).
For summer, there are options made with cooling materials, such as this Trixie cooling mat, which helps regulate temperature thanks to the material it is made from.
