Dog Beds

What This Category Covers

This category is dedicated to upholstered dog beds designed to function as small sofas for pets rather than the padded mats or cages found in pet shops. Every product currently listed here comes from Taylord, a brand that treats a dog bed as a genuine piece of furniture, with structured arms, a raised back and proportions that reference a scaled-down sofa.

RB12 stocks four models in this range: the Shelby Pet Sofa, the Boden Pet Sofa, the Smith Pet Sofa and the Victoria Pet Sofa. They sit within the wider Home & Decor department at RB12, alongside other accessories that furnish a finished room rather than just fill it.

Choosing the Right Size and Placement

The first decision is how much floor space the bed can realistically take up. A pet sofa reads as a piece of furniture in its own right, so it needs the same kind of consideration you'd give a small armchair: enough clearance to walk around it, and a spot where it won't compete visually with a sofa or coffee table that's already doing a job in the room.

Think about where your dog already chooses to settle. If it's near a window, a hallway corner, or beside a sofa in the living room, that's usually the most successful placement, because the bed becomes an extension of a spot the dog has already claimed rather than a new piece it has to be persuaded to use.

Across the four Taylord models, proportions step up gradually from the Shelby through to the Victoria, so smaller dogs and tighter rooms are generally better suited to the compact end of the range, while larger breeds or households with more floor space to spare will get more comfortable use from the bigger models.

Materials, Upholstery and Care

Because these are upholstered pieces rather than removable-cover cushions, they should be treated with the same care as any fabric-covered furniture: regular vacuuming to lift pet hair and dust out of the weave, and prompt attention to spills before they set into the fabric. Keeping the bed out of direct sun helps prevent uneven fading over time, particularly on darker upholstery.

As with any upholstered seating, it's worth checking a product's own care notes before using cleaning products directly on the fabric, since the right approach depends on the specific upholstery used on each model.

Choosing Between the Taylord Models

The Shelby Pet Sofa sits at the more accessible end of the range and suits smaller rooms or dogs that prefer a snugger, more enclosed spot. The Boden Pet Sofa and Smith Pet Sofa step up in scale and price, giving a larger dog, or a dog that likes to stretch out, more room to settle.

The Victoria Pet Sofa is the largest and most substantial model in the collection, positioned as the flagship piece for households that want the dog bed to hold its own visually next to full-size seating.

Living With a Pet Sofa in a Furnished Room

A pet sofa works best when it's chosen with the rest of the room in mind rather than as an isolated purchase. If your living room is built around a set of sofas or armchairs, look for a pet sofa that reads as part of that seating arrangement rather than as a separate, mismatched object competing for attention.

The same logic applies in a bedroom setting: a pet sofa placed near a bed benefits from sitting comfortably alongside existing bedroom furniture, so it's worth measuring the available floor space before committing to one of the larger models.
