As the UK braces for widespread thunderstorms and heavy rain, Dunelm has launched a new £35 water-resistant, machine-washable pet bed designed to make wet walks stress-free. The Beatrice Stripe Box Pet Bed has become a hit with pet owners, who praise it for being sturdy and great value for money, with a removable cover that simplifies cleaning after rainy outings.
Design and features
The Beatrice Stripe Box Pet Bed is new to Dunelm, with prices starting from £35 for the medium size; the large costs £45, and the extra large £60. It comes in a range of colours, including black and white, blue, coral, honey, monochrome and olive green.
According to the Dunelm site, the bed features a removable, machine-washable cover for easy cleaning, a non-slip base to keep it safely in place, and a reversible pad with a warm side for cosy days and a cool side for warmer weather, offering comfort all year round. The medium measures L 60cm x W 44cm x D 25cm, the large L 68cm x W 53cm x D 27cm, and the extra large L 80cm x W 62cm.
Customer reviews
The bed holds an average rating of 4.7 stars out of five on the Dunelm website. One shopper wrote that their terrier immediately occupied the bed, noting the medium size was perfect for their long-legged Jack Russell, and described it as practical, attractive, and sturdy with a removable, washable cover.
A second reviewer said their French bulldog loves the bed, adding that the reversible cushion and washable covers keep their shape well. They noted the colours are not quite as deep as the photos, but that did not matter to them, and they highly recommended the product, calling it their favourite dog bed in a long time.
A third customer said their dog got straight into the bed, and praised the value for money, the ability to puff the pillow, and that it washes well without shrinking.
Alternatives
For those who like the olive green variant, Pets At Home stocks the Scruffs Stripe Amalfi Box Bed Green, priced between £40 and £70 in medium and large sizes. Argos also offers the Scruffs Coastal Box Bed for £45, suitable for medium-sized dogs or cats, with a soft cover, non-slip backing, and a wipe-clean base for everyday dirt.
