Loved by Dogs. Approved by Owners.

"They (and I!!) am absolutely lovingggg them! ⚡️⭐️ they have been so cozy in their beds at night & also have been lounging in them during the day which they never used to do so I think the Mello ones are hugelyyyy more comfy that their previous ones! 🥹

Our Dachshie Peach also used to bite and play with her bed instead of her toys because it was was stuffed like a teddy, which destroyed them as you can imagine 🤣 so I love that these beds are more structured - now she isn’t tempted to play with it and drag it around and actually plays with her toys haha, so niche and random I know but that has been a HUGE plus for us!!"

"The Mello bed is not only comfortable for our fur baby, but also incredibly aesthetic as it matches our bouclé sofa! Now he has his own mini sofa he was so excited when he got it and he loves lying on it!"

–– Veronica, Cape Town

"We are absolutely in love with our beautiful Mello dog bed! 🤎 Kovu and Nora have completely claimed it as their new favourite spot, and seeing them curled up together, happy and cosy, makes my heart so full. 🐾

Not only is it incredibly comfortable for the pups, but the thought, technology and design behind it are amazing. Every little detail feels so considered — and as someone who loves a beautiful home, I especially love how aesthetic it is. It fits so effortlessly into the look and feel of our space without feeling like your typical dog bed.

Beautiful design, incredible quality and, most importantly, two very happy pups. 🥹🤎 An absolute must-have for every dog-loving home!"

–– Maxine, Cape Town

"We love our Mello Bed, but not as much as our puppy Chelsea does. Not only is it gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing, but it is her favourite place in the house. It has definitely helped us get her settled in her new home and was easy to use and wash even through the potty training phase"

–– Abi & Visher, Cape Town

"Lila absolutely loves her Mello bed.It has been a hit from day one and she has settled into it beautifully. We are maybe looking at getting a second one for upstairs (and we will order an extra cover too when they are around)"

— Jacques, Cape Town

"We are already very happy customers 😍 Bodhi’s large bed just arrived and he’s loving it! He hasn’t moved, very cosy indeed- perfect for the upcoming rain this week 🦦 Thank you for the speedy delivery!"

— Angelica, Cape Town

"Baby Wallace seems quite satisfied with your bed. Her new favourite!"

Frequently asked questions

The Mello Bed is built on a dual-layer foam system, with each layer doing a different job.

Top Layer: A solid slab of gel-infused memory foam that contours slowly around your dog, easing pressure off their joints. Standard memory foam traps body heat. The gel pulls that warmth away instead, so the foam stays cool to the touch and your dog gets the same slow, supportive sink without overheating through the night. It's also a continuous slab, not the ridged "egg crate" foam found in a lot of memory foam pet beds, so their weight is held evenly rather than resting on a few raised points.

Bottom Layer: A high-density foam base lifts them off the floor and holds its structure over time. No flattening, no sagging.

Bolsters: Filled with the same high-density foam, offering a soft, supportive place for your dog to rest their head.

All foam is CertiPUR-US® certified, independently tested for durability, performance, and low emissions.

Yes. Every material was chosen with that as the starting point, not an afterthought.

Our bouclé cover is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, tested for harmful substances from yarn to finished fabric. The memory foam base is CertiPUR-US® certified, made without ozone depleters, heavy metals, formaldehyde, or harmful flame retardants.

Yes. The top layer of the base is gel-infused memory foam, designed to draw heat away rather than trap it against your dog's body.

It prevents the heat build-up regular memory foam is known for, so your dog stays more comfortable resting on it.

How your dog sleeps shapes how they live. Calmer days, steadier moods, a body that keeps up with them for longer.

Memory foam works with your dog's body to make that possible.

  • Pressure point relief: The foam pushes up against the body's heaviest pressure points (like hips and elbows) distributing weight evenly so those areas aren't left to strain through hours of rest.
  • Motion absorption: The dual-layer structure absorbs surface movement, so a dog that shifts and resettles through the night is less likely to break their own sleep cycle.
  • Body contouring: Body heat softens the memory foam over time, allowing it to mould to your dog's exact position and hold them there comfortably.
  • Denser structure. Memory foam's dense structure gives dust mites less room to settle than looser fill materials.
  • Cooling and airflow: The gel-infused top layer draws heat away from the body, helping your dog stay comfortable through longer periods of rest.

Not at all. Joint health starts early, and good support at every age helps protect it. The Mello Bed is built for dogs at any stage of life - from active younger dogs recovering after a long day, to seniors who need a little more care. Think of it as a long-term investment in how well they age.

The bouclé cover is fully machine washable. Unzip it, wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent, and hang to dry inside out in the shade. Reassemble only once the cover is completely dry.

Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Wash with similar colours.

The foam and waterproof inner lining should never be washed - wipe the lining down with a damp cloth if needed.

Check the care label inside the cover for a quick reference.
