Inquisitive and playful by nature, dogs live an active lifestyle. They have so much energy that they need to be exhausted to avoid a restless night (we need to avoid the nighttime zoomies!).
Regularly taking your dogs for a walk or letting them engage in various daytime activities contributes to this purpose. An active daily routine allows them to sleep better, which is an advantage to you as their parent.
Here’s where the need for a good modern dog bed comes in. After a day of activities, your dogs need to rest, and they need a space where they can sleep with comfort and ease.
It can’t just be a generic dog bed either—you must find one whose features suit their needs. The question is, how do you know it’s the RIGHT bed for your dog?

What to Consider When Buying a Dog Bed
There are several modern pet beds available in the market—both luxury and affordable dog beds—but which type has the benefits your dog needs?
Here are some things to consider:
- Observe what areas of the house your dog usually goes to take a snooze. Dogs have a go-to spot where they usually sleep, and this helps determine whether they fall asleep easier on a hard, flat surface or in an elevated space.
- Know your dog’s preferred lying position. Dog beds are made to support posture, provide comfort, and prevent muscle-related issues like arthritis or joint pain.
- Consider your dog’s mental and emotional wellbeing. Some dog beds are created to help lessen anxiety or emotional trauma.
- Consider the space the bed will occupy. Your house should have enough space for the dog bed. Otherwise, consider buying a space-saving bed that can easily be folded away or tucked away when there are guests.
- Consider your budget. There are dog beds available for every type of budget, offering exceptional comfort and maximum functionality.
- Consider your home’s aesthetics. It’ll be less inconvenient on your part if the dog bed matches your home’s decorations. It can easily blend in with the walls and become another piece of furniture in the house.
Introducing the Furphy Bed: A Murphy Bed for Dogs
Lori Beds, the company that developed the first modern Murphy Bed in the U.S. without complex lifting mechanisms, came up with the same concept for a dog bed.
What is a Furphy Bed?
The Furphy Bed is a modern take on a dog bed. Designed to function as a Murphy bed, this reinvented dog bed is composed of a frame made from 100% real wood and a washable memory foam mattress.
Why the Furphy Bed is the BEST Choice for Your Dog
Other than being produced by Lori Beds, the makers of quality AND affordable modern Murphy beds, there are other clear benefits to purchasing the Furphy Bed for your pooch. Here’s your checklist:

- It’s practical
The Furphy Bed is durable and built to last a long time. It can also endure any type of pet activity. It has a sturdy base that doesn’t wobble even when your dog jumps on it.

- It has health benefits
The Furphy mattress provides ergonomic support. It’s made with layers of memory foam that adjusts well to the shape of the dog’s body, preventing joint issues.

Some Furphy Bed Setup or Design Ideas
Now that you have purchased a Furphy Bed for your dog, the next step is HOW to set it up. The following tips might help:
1. Assembly
After finding the right corner where you want to set it up, following the step-by-step process will be a tad bit easier. An easy-to-comprehend assembly guide is included in your Furphy Bed bundle package.
2. Design Ideas
To get you started, here are some aesthetic ideas from customers to inspire you when you set up your Furphy Bed:
Bedroom Pet Corner
Dragging your dog's bed everywhere can be bothersome. You can set up the Furphy Bed inside your room without getting in anyone’s way.

Hidden Kitchen Furniture
Dogs have their favorite spots in the house. Setting up the Furphy Bed in one of those areas will provide your dog with a safe space of their own.
Just like how Louisa set up Brisket’s Furphy Bed under the kitchen island. Folded up, it doesn’t get in the way and looks just like another kitchen shelf.
Hallway Fixture
When it’s not functioning as a bed, your Furphy Bed can serve as a cabinet or tabletop. Set it up in the hallway and it looks just like another piece of luxurious furniture.
This is very useful when you have a guest. No one will even know that it’s a dog bed in disguise!
Organizing Shelf/Rack
The Furphy Bed is designed to function as a Murphy Bed. It saves space and transforms into an organizing rack or shelf.
In this case, it can be used to organize your dog’s favorite toys. It has built-in shelves that lets you store the things your dog always uses.
Boss Dog Corner
With the Furphy Bed, you can put a little corner in your own workspace for your dog. They can have their own space—right inside your office!
You don’t need to leave them alone at home if you have the Furphy Bed. The cozy mattress is framed by an elegant, sturdy frame that blends well with your office walls—it’s their very own boss dog corner!
Conclusion
As dog parents, we should invest in a dog bed that will serve our pets for a long time. Considering the creative design, purpose, and overall features, the Furphy Bed ticks all the boxes you might want in a dog bed.
This Murphy bed for dogs redefines function and design, making it a WORTHY INVESTMENT for you as a pet parent. It gives your dog maximum comfort and a space to lie without compromising your home’s interior design.
