Best for chewers
$199.00
Ballistic nylon base with hidden zips, and a topper you can unbutton during a chewing phase.
View this bedvets recorded a median weight of 20.2kg across 1,304 Staffies (Pegram et al., 2020). The breed standard says 13 to 17kg for dogs and 11 to 15.4kg for bitches (The Kennel Club). Buy for the dog on your scales, not the standard.
The standard puts a Staffy at 36 to 41cm at the withers (The Kennel Club), so a very tall edge is a step up. The Ultra Memory Foam is 10cm deep and the Nest rim is 22cm high.
The coat is smooth, short and close (The Kennel Club), so a thick mattress between your dog and a cold floor does a lot of the work. Staffies also had 1.9 times the odds of atopic dermatitis, so covers that machine wash are worth having.
We have not found a published figure for bed chewing in Staffies, so we will not invent one. If yours tests beds, start with the Luxe Lounger: ballistic nylon base, hidden zips, unbuttoning topper. Chew resistant, not chew proof.
This is not medical advice. Ask your vet about any existing condition.
1.9x
Staffies had 1.9 times the odds of atopic dermatitis compared with other dogs, and 1.99% were diagnosed (Pegram et al., 2020). A bed will not treat skin disease, but covers you can wash easily help keep the surface clean. See your vet about any itching.
1.8x
Stiffness was recorded 1.8 times more often in Staffies than in other dogs (Pegram et al., 2020). The same study found no significant difference for osteoarthritis or lameness. Thick foam is a reasonable choice as they age, and your vet can advise if yours is struggling to get up.
6.0%
An earlier VetCompass study cited by Pegram et al. (2020) put obesity at 6.0% of Staffies against 3.9% of crossbreds. Extra weight loads the joints at rest, so choose firm foam that will not bottom out, and ask your vet about a weight plan.
20.2kg
The median weight recorded for Staffies in the study, with the middle half between 17.7 and 22.9kg. That is above the breed standard, so measure and weigh before you pick a size.
Lay your dog flat on the floor and measure from nose tip to base of tail. Measure curled too. Add about 10cm (Kuranda sizing guide).
If you are between sizes, go larger.
For puppies, buy for the adult size.
| Brooklyn® bed | Size | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
 Luxe Lounger |
Jumbo | 120 x 70 x 30cm | Chewers |
 Ultra Memory Foam |
2XL | 120 x 80 x 10cm | Most adult Labs |
 Nest |
Jumbo | 113 x 93cm, inner 80 x 55cm | Bigger Labs who like a rim |
 Deep Sleep |
2XL | 100cm, inner about 70cm | Curlers. A stretched-out Lab may rest legs on the rim |
For Staffies that test beds. The Luxe Lounger fits here, in Regular for most dogs.
Firm, thick foam for the heavier end of the breed. The Ultra Memory Foam Bed in L fits here.
A 22cm rim to lean on, memory foam and a cooling gel layer. The Nest in Jumbo fits here for dogs over 15kg.
Soft and cheaper, but filled with PP-cotton, not foam. Deep Sleep fits here. Best for gentle sleepers, not testers.
NZ winters are wet, and Staffy skin can be fussy, so a bed you can clean matters. Foam is not washable, but covers go in on a gentle cycle and line dry, and the liner only needs wiping. Spare covers are available for the Nest, Luxe Lounger and Deep Sleep, so one can be in the wash while the other is on the bed. We ship from Auckland in 1 to 3 days, free over $79, with 30-day returns on unused beds. Nest beds cannot be returned once the vacuum seal is broken.

Usually the Luxe Lounger Regular, the Ultra Memory Foam L or the Nest Jumbo. UK vets recorded a median of 20.2kg, so weigh your dog rather than trusting the breed standard. Measure first.
Some are, and some are not. We have not found a study that measures it. If yours tests beds, start with the Luxe Lounger and take the topper off during chewing phases.
The coat is smooth, short and close (The Kennel Club), so cushioning between your dog and a cold floor helps. A rimmed Nest also gives them something to lean against.
Not necessarily. Staffies had 1.9 times the odds of atopic dermatitis in one UK study. Washing covers regularly keeps the surface clean, but a bed will not treat it, so see your vet.
Unzip the cover and machine wash on a gentle cycle, then line dry or use a low-heat dry. Wipe the liner and do not wash it. The foam is not washable.
Unopened beds can be returned within 30 days. The Nest cannot be returned once the vacuum seal is broken, so measure before you open it.
