Why sleep is essential for dogs
Sleep isn’t just rest for dogs it’s recovery. During deep sleep, dogs regulate stress hormones, repair muscles and joints, and reset their nervous system. When sleep is disrupted, dogs can become restless, anxious, or physically uncomfortable.
Just like humans, dogs need an environment that supports uninterrupted, comfortable rest.
Dogs experience comfort differently
Dogs don’t respond to “softness” the way we do. Their bodies are closer to the ground, their joints carry weight differently, and their temperature regulation relies heavily on their sleeping surface.
What they sleep on matters more than many owners realise.
The role of natural materials
Natural fibres, particularly wool, create a more stable sleep environment for dogs by:
- Regulating temperature in all seasons
- Managing moisture to keep beds feeling dry
- Reducing odour naturally
- Supporting calm, uninterrupted rest
Unlike synthetic materials, wool works with a dog’s body rather than trapping heat or moisture.
Better sleep, calmer days
When dogs sleep well, it shows:
- Easier settling at night
- Improved mood and behaviour
- Better recovery after activity
- Greater overall wellbeing
Better sleep doesn’t change who your dog is it helps them feel more like themselves.
