Dog Bed Stuffing & Filling: The Best (and Most Sustainable) Options
The Best Dog Bed Stuffing Is Already in Your Home
Mostpeople searching for dog bed stuffing think they need to buy something. They don't. The Molly Mutt dog bed cover is designed to be filled with what you already have at home — old pillows, blankets, jumpers, and clothes. Things that smell like you. And that's exactly the point: your scent is the most comforting thing you can give your dog.
What Should I Stuff My Dog Bed With?
Since your dog loves your scent the simple answer is anything soft that smells like you. Pillows, blankets, comforters, sweaters and so on!
Watch How Easy It Is
Old pillows and down comforters are particularly helpful when filling our larger sizes like our huge size beds.
We've mixed together a number of stuffing options and here are some easy combinations we found. (You might need more or less depending on how your pup likes their bed.)
| Size | Dimensions | Example Stuffing |
| Small | 68 x 56 cm | 2 standard pillows OR 1 comforter OR 1 fleece blanket + 10-20 pieces of clothing |
| Med/Large | 91 x 68 cm | 2 standard pillows + 1 fleece blanket + 10-20 pieces of clothing |
| Huge | 114 x 91 cm | 2 body pillows + 2 fleece blankets |
| 51 cm Round | 51 cm | 1 comforter + 1 standard pillow + 10-20 pieces of clothing |
| 91 cm Round | 91 cm | Old big beds from other brands |
Want to Keep It All Tidy? Use a Stuff Sack
If you're stuffing your Molly Mutt cover with loose pillows and clothing, a mesh stuff sack makes the whole thing much easier to manage. Pack everything into the sack first, then slide it into the cover. When it's time to wash, you just lift the whole thing out in one go — no chasing loose pillows around the machine. It's also a great way to keep the filling evenly distributed so the bed keeps its shape over time.
