Treat your adventurous pup to The Outdoor Bed, a hard-wearing, durable, water-resistant dog bed made from recycled plastic bottles. Designed to withstand the elements and made in New Zealand, this tough bed features a single layer of our New Zealand wool filling (the same as our Swag Bed) for optimal comfort.
Available in two natural colours, this bed is perfect for dogs who love the great outdoors, tend to “dig” on their bed or love to eat their treats on their bed. Our Outdoor bed is ideal for dog kennels, farm dogs, pig-hunting dogs etc. However, we do not recommend leaving this bed out in the rain or frost as it is not waterproof, only water-resistant.

- Removable & machine washable cover
- Velcro Closure Cover
- Water Resistant
- 100% Cotton inner lining with YKK Zip - Filled with a single layer of NZ Wool
- Durable polyester cover made from recycled plastic bottles

The Outdoor Bed can still be used indoors as a luxurious everyday bed for your dog without compromising the benefits of wool, design, or functionality. The main difference between our “Original Dog Bed” and The Outdoor Bed is that The Outdoor Bed has a single layer of wool inside - rather than a double layer.
You can also use our Outdoor Bed covers and put them over your pre-existing “Swag Bed” as the bed sizes are all the same.The Outdoor cover can be put over our Original 2-layer bed BUT only if your bed is a couple of years old and has compressed a bit.
SIZES:
- Small: 70 x 50 cm
- Medium: 89 x 70cm
- Large: 110 x 89cm
- Extra Large: 125 x 89cm
Option to add a waterproof mattress protector inside the bed, this is recommended if you are using the bed inside a crate with a puppy or incontinent dog.
* (Sale) Forest Green – Dog Bed Covers with Light Scratching/White Streaks
These covers have been sewn slightly inside out, so some have light scratching or white streaks. On some covers, the marks are only on the reverse side, while others may have some visible on the top. Purely cosmetic – the covers are otherwise perfectly functional and make no difference to the use of the bed. *
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
It is important to air the bed regularly and to flip it as often as possible. Wool naturally draws moisture away from your dog's body and regulates its temperature. So it needs air to circulate around it to dry it out.
As the wool isn’t designed to get wet - As mentioned, do not leave your bed outside in the rain or frost. We recommend that you purchase one of our waterproof mattress protectors if you are using the bed for puppy crate training or have an incontinent dog etc.
Outer Cover:
- Cold delicate machine wash on a cool cycle (or hand wash) We recommend using our Life of Riley "Laundry Wash"
- Hang inside out to dry in the shade (not direct sunlight) - Do not dry in the dryer.
White Insert Mattress /Cushion:
- The inner mattress can be spot-cleaned only. DO NOT remove the wool from the white inner lining and DO NOT machine wash the inner.
- The zip is only there for when they are manufactured, it is not designed to have the wool removed.
- The inner can also be sprayed with nature’s miracle/odorex if needed to remove any stains or odours.
- As the bed is natural It is important to air the inner mattress regularly in the sunshine whenever you wash the cover. Make sure to dry outside properly before putting the cover back on.
If cared for properly… your Life of Riley dog bed will last for many many years!
