Review verdict
Dottie took to this bed immediately, and the original reviewer liked its firmer foam, washable cover and understated fabric. The large size was more space than their Australian Shepherd / Border Collie mix needed; a medium could have worked. The main caveat was feel: this was a firmer bed, not a pillowy cushion.
My original firsthand review
This is the original account of the bed used by Dottie. Construction and sizing describe that sample; old promotional offers have been removed. The product photo and four recovered review thumbnails are retained below.
Brentwood home gets rave reviews on Amazon for their memory foam mattresses but they also make many other products including pet beds. The Brentwood Home Orthopedic Pet bed uses some of the same foam found in their mattresses which is good news for your pet.
Ordering your Brentwood Home Dog Bed
It comes shrink wrapped so the box it comes in isn't all that big.
Construction of the Brentwood Home Dog Bed
The Brentwood Home pet beds are made with a washable cover and waterproof lining. The original sample had embroidery. It's a really nice touch!
The dog bed is constructed with two layers. A base layer of foam and a soft squishy layer of cooling gel foam .
My Brentwood Home Dog Bed Findings
Our dog, Dottie is an Australian Shepherd / Border Collie mix. She's getting old (14 years old at the time of this review) so we were concerned that her old pet bed that didn't even measure an inch thick just wasn't giving her the needed support.
Dottie took to the bed immediately and seems to be sleeping just fine on it. Because her breed sheds a lot, it's nice that the cover can be washed.
The bottom of the dog bed has a non-slip surface so it won't go traveling on smooth surfaces.
These dog beds come in 3 sizes (small, medium and large) I ordered the large size but could have easily gone with a medium for a border collie.
The fabric goes well with the rest of the furniture in our living room and doesn't stand out. Given we have a small house this is a good thing.
Just for fun and because I'm such a mattress geek, I did my standard testing on this pet bed. I thought it would give you a sense of what to expect in terms of firmness and feel. Some dogs love soft and some not so much so this will hopefully help in your decision making.
Notice that there also isn't much motion transfer although I don't expect Dottie to have sleep overs anytime soon...
Final thoughts on the Brentwood Home Dog Bed
The foam is on the firmer side so it's not like traditional memory foam. If your pet likes sleeping on a more pillowy surface you may want to look elsewhere. However, this is a great looking bed that my dog uses daily!

Questions about the tested bed
Was it soft or firm?
The reviewer found the foam on the firmer side and suggested looking elsewhere if your dog prefers a more pillowy surface.
Was the large size necessary for Dottie?
The reviewer ordered large but felt medium could have worked for their Australian Shepherd / Border Collie mix. That is an observation about this dog and sample, not a current sizing chart.
What did the review establish?
Dottie used the bed daily, and the reviewer described its feel, cover, underside and fit in their living room. The account does not establish treatment benefits for joint conditions or measured cooling performance.
