Pomeranians sleep a lot, often 12–14 hours a day, so a good bed is one of the most important things you can buy for your Pom. The right bed keeps your dog warm, supports small joints and gives a fluffy little dog a safe space of its own. Here is how to choose the best bed for a Pomeranian, plus our favorite picks.
What to look for in a Pomeranian bed
The right size
Poms love to curl up in a cozy, snug space. A bed that is too big can feel less secure and less warm. Measure your Pom from nose to the base of the tail while lying down and add about 15–20 cm (6–8 in). For most adult Poms, a small dog bed is the right size.
Warmth
Small dogs lose body heat quickly, especially in winter or on cold floors. Covered cave beds and beds with raised sides trap warmth and block drafts.
Support for small joints
Pomeranians can be prone to joint problems such as luxating patella (a kneecap that slips out of place), which can appear at any age and often becomes more uncomfortable over time. A bed with supportive filling, or an orthopedic bed for senior dogs, helps them rest comfortably.
Low and easy entry
Choose a bed your Pom can step into easily. Jumping up and down from high places puts stress on small legs.
Easy to clean
A removable, washable cover or a machine-washable bed keeps things fresh, which matters with a shedding double coat.
Types of beds Pomeranians love
Cave beds
Covered cave beds are perfect for Poms who like to burrow and hide. They feel safe, warm and private. Our best seller, the Corduroy Pomeranian Cave Bed, comes in several colors and two sizes and is one of our customers' favorite products.
Tunnel beds
Poms who like to snuggle under something soft will feel right at home in a tunnel-shaped bed. The Pomeranian Tunnel Bed is made of ultra-soft plush and gives your dog a warm, secure place to curl up.
Tent beds
A tent bed gives your Pom its own little house, which is great for dogs who like a den but don't like a closed-in cave. Try the Pomeranian Tent House.
Orthopedic beds
Older Poms and dogs with joint problems benefit from extra support. The Pomeranian Orthopedic Bed is designed to cushion small joints.
Beds with blankets
For the ultimate cozy setup, the Pomeranian Bed with Blanket & Pillow gives your Pom its very own mini bedroom.
Where to put your Pom's bed
- In a quiet corner away from busy hallways
- Away from drafty doors, windows and cold tile floors
- Near the family, because Poms are social dogs who like to be close to their people
- Not right next to a radiator or heater, which can be too hot
Many Poms enjoy having two beds: one in the living room and one in the bedroom.
How to get your Pom to use a new bed
- Put a blanket or T-shirt that smells like you inside the bed.
- Toss a treat or favorite toy into the bed and praise your dog when it climbs in.
- Be patient. Some Poms need a few days to accept a new bed.

What size bed does a Pomeranian need?
Most adult Poms fit a small dog bed. Measure your dog lying down from nose to tail base and add 15–20 cm (6–8 in) for comfort.
Do Pomeranians like covered beds?
Many do. Poms often like to burrow and feel safe in a den-like space, which is why cave beds are so popular with the breed.
How often should I wash my dog's bed?
Wash the cover or bed every one to two weeks, and more often during shedding season or if your Pom has allergies.
