🐶 The Original Fluffy Dog Bed vs. Cheap Knockoffs - What to Know, Why It Works & How It Helps

Why Do Pets Feel Anxious?
Hey dog parent – ever wonder why your fluffy friend sometimes acts nervous for no reason? Dogs feel anxiety just like we do. 🌧️✨ Thunderstorms, fireworks, being home alone for hours… even changes in routine can throw them off.
Fun fact: about 70% of dogs show signs of anxiety at some point. Source: PetMD Surprising, right?
If you’ve got a rescue pup or a breed that’s more sensitive (hello, herding dogs!), they’re even more likely to feel stressed. But don’t worry – you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. Pets, just like humans, can feel overwhelmed. Loud noises, new places – all of these can trigger anxiety.
Without a safe, cosy spot, your pet's stress can lead to restless sleep, barking or destructive behaviour. 🐾
Common Signs Your Dog Is Anxious
- ✅ Barking or whining out of nowhere
- ✅ Pacing or circling
- ✅ Hiding under furniture
- ✅ Chewing up your shoes (oops)
- ✅ Not settling down when they usually would
Some dogs show big signs, others just seem a bit off. Trust your gut – you know your buddy best! 💛
How a Calming Bed Helps – The Science
A proper anxiety-relieving bed does three magic things:
- 1️⃣ Raised rim → makes your dog feel hugged and secure.
- 2️⃣ Thick, soft filling → supports joints so they can properly relax.
- 3️⃣ Soft faux fluffy fur → reminds them of snuggling with mum and littermates.
This combo = deep sleep and calmer days. 🌙 Way better than a flat, basic dog mat!

MrFluffyFriend vs Cheap Knockoffs – The Real Difference
Here’s where we get real: not all “calming beds” are the same. Cheap versions flatten fast, covers tear, and you’re back to square one.
MrFluffyFriend beds? Totally different story:
- ✔️ Extra heavy filling – stays fluffy for years
- ✔️ XXXXL sizes – 120cm & 140cm so even your big bear can sprawl out 🐻
- ✔️ Non-slip bottom – no sliding zoomies! 🏃
- ✔️ Machine washable cover – because life happens 🧺
Don’t waste money on knockoffs – your fluffy companion deserves the real thing! 💖

Calming Beds & Anxious Dogs – Your Questions Answered
Is a calming bed enough to help with dog anxiety?
For most dogs, a calming dog bed alone works wonders – especially when it’s the right size and quality. But for more severe dog anxiety, always pair it with a calm routine, daily exercise, and, if needed, vet-recommended solutions.
Which calming bed size should I choose?
When it comes to large dog beds, bigger really is better. A spacious, extra-fluffy bed lets your dog stretch out, curl up, and feel totally secure. If you’re unsure, size up – our XXL beds (120cm & 140cm) are ideal for giant breeds like Labs, Goldens and Great Danes.
Are calming beds safe for puppies too?
Yes! Puppies love the nest-like feel of a puppy calming bed. Just remember to supervise your pup to make sure they don’t nibble the bed’s edges. Our washable design makes it easy to keep clean – even during the messiest puppy stages.
