We always want to spoil our pets, but dog cushions can be very expensive when purchased from a chain pet store. And while DIY projects can be an affordable alternative, if you are unsure of what you’re doing, creating custom cushions can be rather complex and intimidating. However, there is an alternative so that you don’t have to settle for overpriced cushions.

This is where shopping online, direct from a manufacturer is ideal. By selling dog beds from Canada directly to you, there is no chain store that needs to look out for its own profits. Ordering online also offers a greater degree of choice, so you can look for the perfect density or choose the type of memory foam base you want to use. Another huge advantage to purchasing from the manufacturer is expertise. They can assist you in custom cuts, for example, which would be difficult for an amateur to do with precision.

The projects itself is fairly simple. Measure the bed to the dimensions you want, then have it cut to an oval shape. You can add foam rims if you know how to stitch, but the oval will be ideal for most dogs as is. Once your memory foam arrives, wrap it in a sheet and you’re finished.

From circular pet beds of shredded memory foam to rectangular ones made of high density foam sheets, there is a pretty wide selection available at competitive prices. It is a great alternative to buying from a dedicated pet store or frustrating yourself with attempting a do-it-yourself design.
