Our Dog Bed Technology
Inner Liners
Water Resistant Inner Liner
The bed’s inner liner, used to contain the cushioning inside a George Barclay luxury dog bed, is equipped with Moisture ShieldTM technology. The liner’s surfaces adjacent to the bed’s sleep area are backed with a waterproof PU (Polyurethane) coating, protecting the bed’s filling from moisture. This water resistant barrier remains flexible, with minimal noise, so as not to disturb dogs as they settle.
Fabrics
SofToughTM
Many George Barclay pet beds are produced using our SofToughTM fabrics. These materials provide a soft, inviting surface for pets to lie on, yet are extremely durable. This is achieved by using a multi-layer fabric composition. SofTough™
WoofWaxTM
The sleep area of many George Barclay dog beds has been coated with WoofWaxTM water repellent. WoofWaxTM is applied to the fabric fibres forming a flexible water repellent barrier, preventing the material from ‘wetting out’ and allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability.
Machine Washable
To help keep George Barclay dog beds looking and smelling like new, all outer cover/covers are machine washable. Please refer to the care instructions inside the beds cover for specific washing instructions. Clean bedding will not only minimise bad odours but will also keep your dog’s skin and coat looking healthy. You may also want to consider keeping two sets of bedding so you can change everything on a weekly basis with less hassle and stress.
Cushioning
Memory Topper Mattress
Our Memory Topper mattress is a formed mattress, with superior comfort and supportive characteristics. The base of the mattress is produced from a high-density foam, providing uncompromised support for even the largest breeds. The mattress's top layer utilises a dense memory foam with optimum rebound characteristics, allowing the mattress to contour to your dog’s body shape. The dual layer construction ensures the mattress will remain cooler than a conventional memory foam mattress.
Memory Topper Mattresses form the shape of your pets body, this has a huge range of benefits including helping to relieve pressure from achy muscles or joints which is especially important for older dogs who are more susceptible to arthritis. Memory foam dog beds will also respond to your dog’s temperature providing a more comfortable platform, preventing your dog from overheating and choosing to lay on the cooler floor.
The Memory Topper Mattress is a dual compound mattress providing a stable mattress base with the added benefit of memory foam. George Barclay uses a high density and slow renowned memory foam giving your dog a comfortable bed with added support too.

Hollow Fibre Cushioning
Hollow Fibre is a synthetic, man-made material, consisting of hollow strands that allow air to pass through, trapping it within the strand. The trapped air produces loft within the fibre, giving the fill its cushioning and insulation characteristics. Our beds are generously filled, to create a plump cushion with a soft to medium feel, more suited to smaller breeds.
