The Original Dog Bed

New Zealand's Favourite - Life of Riley Original 2-Layer NZ Wool-filled Dog Bed!

• Dog beds with a removable machine washable cover with velcro closure for easy washing. Made from a hardwearing yet soft cross weave 100% cotton corduroy fabric.
• Filled with 2 thick layers of luxurious wool batting (approx 16cm thick)
• Wool is naturally odour resistant and offers luxurious comfort to your dog and helps to soothe those aches and pains of older dogs. (Many other wool-filled beds only have one layer of wool).
• Wool is naturally warm in Winter and cool in Summer. The thermoregulatory properties of wool make sleep a deeper and more pleasant experience allowing your dog a longer more comfortable rest. The Resiliency of wool provides even weight support so there is less pressure on painful joints and muscles, great for dogs with arthritis.
• A great selection of neutral colours which fit into any home decor colour scheme.

These beds are made from natural materials, just like a futon they need to be flipped and aired regularly. If your dog often has wet feet when they get on their bed, or you have a puppy or incontinent dog we recommend you also purchase a mattress protector.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

It is important to air the bed regularly and to flip it as often as possible. 
As the wool isn’t designed to get wet - We recommend that you purchase one of our waterproof mattress protectors if you are using the bed for puppy crate training or have an incontinent dog etc.

IMPORTANT: If you have a limited edition leather tag on your bed (spice or Ivory) DO NOT SOAK or the colour will bleed from the tag.

Outer Corduroy Cover:

• Cold delicate machine wash on a cool cycle (or hand wash) We recommend using our Life of Riley "Laundry Wash"
• Hang inside out to dry in the shade (not direct sunlight) - Do not dry in the dryer. 
• Because our covers are made from 100% cotton please don't leave them out in the sun for extended periods of time. In the long run, all fabric colours eventually fade in sunlight but cotton tends to fade easier than polyester.

White Insert Mattress /Cushion:

• The inner mattress can be spot cleaned only. DO NOT remove the wool from the white inner lining and DO NOT machine wash the inner.
• The zip is only there for when they are manufactured, it is not designed to have the wool removed.
• The inner can also be sprayed with nature’s miracle/odorex if needed to remove stains or odours.
• As the bed is natural It is important to air the inner mattress regularly in the sunshine whenever you wash the cover. Make sure to dry outside properly before putting the cover back on.

• IMPORTANT: If the wool is removed from the inner liner, you will find it extremely difficult to put it back in to lay flat again. There is also a high chance you will break the zip. We can sell replacement inner liners if this does happen but please be aware this will be at your own expense.

If cared for properly… your Life of Riley dog bed will last for many many years!
