Which Fabric to Choose for a Dog Bed

Have you ever stopped to think about how many kinds of fabrics there are and the wide variety of uses for them? Fabrics are used for industrial purposes, military, home d閏or, clothing, sports, movies; the list is endless. For every use, there抯 a fabric choice with qualities that best serve its purpose.

We were recently invited over to friends to a dinner, and when their little daughter accidentally spilled grape juice on a white tablecloth, I was sure that her mother would be upset and rush to clean the tablecloth to prevent a deep stain from forming. Instead, she smiled, and said that this tablecloth is liquid resistant and we could see drops of juice rolling on top of its surface like marbles. With a swift wipe they were gone.

So what does this have to do with dog beds or pet beds? With the advancement of modern technology, we抳e come a long way since the hand-fabric-weaving days. The leading manufacturers of dog beds in the world put serious thought and research into their beds designs, which specifically address dogs?needs. The filling in dog beds is created with durable and sometimes orthopedic materials that can provide comfort and support for dogs that use them (including large dogs) for many years. Some of these beds are made out of fully recyclable materials.

Modern technology allows specialized fabrics such as 搈icrovelvet?to be used in pet beds. Microvelvet fabric is eight times stronger than cotton, so the wear and tear process due to dog use can literally take many years. Microvelvet fabric is a 揵reathing?fabric, which means, it抯 suitable for all seasons, all year round. Another unique property of this great fabric is that hair does not stick to it! It actually repels pet hair. Pet owners can easily shake off the hair from the bed or vacuum it. Microvelvet also repels dirt and moisture.

Other leading pet bed manufacturers are making their beds with stain, moisture and odor-resistant fabrics. Remember the tablecloth that repelled the grape juice? This is the same idea, but dog bed fabric has more advantages than the tablecloth. It is odor and bacteria resistant, and as every dog owner knows all too well, dog will be dogs. This type of fabric is very durable and suitable for all seasons all year round.

The aforementioned fabrics are made in a variety of prints and colors and are designed by top designers, so they are far from being boring, and they have a very appealing look.

When you keep these facts in mind while looking for a dog bed, not only can you improve your dog抯 quality of life, but you can also rest assured that your money is invested in a product that will make your life easier, simpler and more hygienic in your home for many years to come.
