Dog Bed Stuffing & Filling: The Best (and Most Sustainable) Options

The Best Dog Bed Stuffing Is Already in Your Home

Most people 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?

Great question. 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
