How to Choose the Perfect Labrador Dog Bed: Size, Support & Durability Guide

Labradors need a bed that's 42-48 inches long with 4-7 inch thick orthopedic memory foam, waterproof protection, and reinforced edges for durability. Le Noof's large dog beds are specifically engineered with these exact specifications to provide optimal comfort and support for Labs weighing 55-80 pounds.

What Size Dog Bed Does a Labrador Need?

Adult Labrador Retrievers have an overall body length of roughly 36 to 42 inches, which means they need beds measuring at least 42-48 inches to stretch comfortably.

Le Noof's Large dog bed sizing ensures your Lab can fully extend without hanging off the edge:

Size Dimensions (inches) Dimensions (cm)
Small 32 x 24 x 5 80 x 60 x 12
Medium 39 x 28 x 6 100 x 70 x 15
Large 47 x 32 x 6 120 x 80 x 15

*In between sizes? Our recommendation is to size up.

Quick sizing facts:

  • Adult Labs typically stand 21.5 to 24.5 inches tall and weigh 55 to 80 pounds
  • Labs need 6+ inches beyond their body length for proper stretching
  • Le Noof's Large size (47 x 32 inches) fits most adult Labradors perfectly
