Rectangle Pet Bed Measuring Guide

How to Measure for a Rectangle Pet Bed

How To Measure For Rectangle Pet Beds

These measuring instructions will guide you through the process of measuring for your pet bed. Our rectangular pet beds require width, length and thickness measurements that can be adjusted in 1 inch increments.
  • Thickness Measurement

    Step 1 - Pet Bed Thickness

    We recommend selecting your cushion thickness first. Our pet beds range in thickness from 2 to 5 inches.

  • Width Measurement

    Step 2 - Pet Bed Width

    The pet bed width is measured from side to side as shown in the image on the left.

    The best way to determine the proper width measurement for your pet bed is to measure your pet from the bottom of their paws to the top of their shoulders, then add an additional 5-10″, depending on the size of your pet.

  • Length Measurement

    Step 3 - Pet Bed Length

    The pet bed length is measured from front to back as shown in the image on the left.

    Similarly to the width measurement, determine the proper length measurement for your pet bed by measuring from your pet's nose to the base of the tail and add 8-12″, depending on the size of your pet.

Use The Right Tools
For the most accurate results, we recommend using a rigid measuring tool such as a carpenter's tape measure or a measuring stick. Avoid using 'soft' measuring tools such as tailor's tape.

Round Your Measurements
Your width and depth measurements should be rounded up or rounded down to the nearest 1 inch as pet bed dimensions on our site can be adjusted in 1 inch increments.
