The Bed
Made for the inside of every residence, in soft layers that lift out. Each layer can be cared for and renewed on its own.
Made for the residence
The Bed is part of the residence, not something added afterwards, and it comes with every residence, on every path. Each size has its own Bed, fitted to the floor inside it, and the height above The Bed is published for every size on Specifications, so you can check the room your dog will have.
Choose the size from your dog’s measurements, with The Bed in place. View the size guide.
The Entry Arch
Look at the front edge of The Bed and you will find the same line as the doorway, a shallow arch cut into the bed itself. We call it the Entry Arch.
It leaves a little floor showing just inside the doors, a place to step in before stepping up onto The Bed, and it keeps The Bed clear of the doors as they open and close.
If you are unsure how your dog will step in, the Concierge can talk it through with you.
The layers
- The Tailored Cover, the part your dog lies on, closed with a brass zip pull
- The Protective Top, a water-resistant layer under the cover, yours to fit or leave out
- The Quilted Liner, cotton quilted over a fine layer of flax
- The Mattress, natural latex in graded layers, softest at the surface
- Soft, Balanced or Firm, chosen when you commission
- Nothing is glued, so the layers lift out for washing and replacing
The full detail, The layersRead moreRead less
The Bed is built in layers, each with a job. At its heart is The Mattress, the core that gives The Bed its shape and height. It is natural latex in graded layers, always softest at the surface, cut and stacked rather than glued. In the Large, Grand and Estate, a base layer of flax sits beneath it. The Mattress carries the Entry Arch at its front edge.
Around it goes The Quilted Liner, soft cotton quilted over a fine layer of flax, the comfort your dog feels through the cover. Its quilting follows the same arch as everything else the Atelier makes.
Over the liner sits The Protective Top, a fitted, water-resistant layer for accidents. One comes with every Bed, and fitting it is up to you.
Over everything is The Tailored Cover, the part your dog lies on, cut the way upholstery is cut. It closes with a brass zip pull from the same family as the Resident’s Key, an arch on its face and your dog’s Resident Number on the back.
Soft, Balanced and Firm are offered in every size. Balanced is where we start, and the Atelier will talk the choice through with you.
The materials
The Mattress is natural latex, and The Quilted Liner is cotton quilted over flax. Where The Bed needs protecting from accidents, a thin water-resistant backing is laminated to cotton. There is no wool, down, leather or silk anywhere in The Bed.
What a PupHut residence is made of
Each material is being sampled and documented before the first Bed is made, and we will say what the tests showed once they are done. The longer story is on Craft and Materials.
Care and replacement
Wash The Tailored Cover, The Quilted Liner and The Protective Top on their own, cold and gentle, with a mild fragrance-free detergent. No bleach, no fabric softener and no high heat. Line dry, or tumble on low. The Care booklet that comes with The Bed has the details.
The Mattress is never washed and is not opened at home. If it is ever soiled through, it is replaced whole.
The Tailored Cover, The Quilted Liner, The Protective Top and The Mattress can each be replaced in your residence’s size. Ask the Atelier and we will confirm what is available and the price.
Covered for a year
The Bed and each of its layers are covered against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from delivery. Normal wear on fabric, and damage from chewing, digging or accidents, are not covered. The full terms are on the Warranty page.
