TuffMat! Orthopaedic Dog Bed

The waterproof orthopaedic dog bed you can hose off

The TuffMat! is a fully sealed, genuinely waterproof orthopaedic dog bed, handmade in our Rutherford factory in the Hunter Valley, NSW. It is built for dogs that come inside wet and muddy, older dogs that need real joint support, and households tired of replacing flattened beds every eighteen months.

Lean it against a fence, hose it down, let it dry. That is the entire cleaning routine.

Why the TuffMat! is different

• Waterproof, not water-resistant. Most beds sold as waterproof have a removable cover that lets liquid through to the foam. The TuffMat! is fully sealed with no zips and no removable cover, so nothing reaches the mattress.
• It does not flatten. Never needs re-stuffing, backed by our 5-year no-flatten guarantee.
• Orthopaedic support that has been measured. Independently pressure tested for pressure absorption and relief across the skeletal and muscular system, not simply described as supportive.
• Commercial-grade rip-resistant fabric, double-stitched, with rounded corners and no zips or Velcro to attract destructive attention.
• Odour-resistant and low-allergen. Fleas and germs cannot live in it, and it will not hold smell.
• Four colours: Army Green, Ash Grey, Black and Navy Blue. Choose your size and colour above.
• Certified non-toxic. Every raw material independently tested. We did not take our suppliers' word for it. See the testing.
• Made in Australia, cover included. We sew every cover here in the Hunter Valley, which is the part your dog actually sleeps on. See how it is made.

Trusted where beds get punished

The TuffMat! is used by Australian government agencies running working dogs, including the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Lord Howe Island Biosecurity, NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force and multiple Corrective Services. These are dogs that work hard and sleep on their beds every night.

Is the TuffMat! right for your dog?

Yes, if your dog sleeps outdoors or on a verandah, comes in wet, is incontinent or messy, is arthritic or recovering from injury, or you simply want a bed that outlasts the dog.

Not if your dog is a determined chewer. We do not claim the TuffMat! is chew-proof or indestructible, and we do not guarantee it against destruction. It is not designed for chewing behaviour. If your dog destroys bedding, introduce it slowly and under supervision, and pair it with our durable chew toy range. We would rather tell you that now than take your money twice.

Prefer something softer for indoors? The PlushMat! has a removable sherpa cover and the same orthopaedic core. Still deciding? Our bed comparison puts them side by side.

Common questions

Can the TuffMat! be left outside? Yes. It is designed as a dual indoor and outdoor bed and is fully waterproof. Bring it under cover where you can, and hose it clean when it needs it.

How do I wash it? There is no cover to remove. Hose it down and let it dry. Regular washing keeps the material clean and extends its life. See the cleaning guide.

Will it help my arthritic dog? The mattress is orthopaedic and independently pressure tested to relieve pressure on joints and muscles. It is well suited to arthritic, injured and recovering dogs. Browse the full orthopaedic range.

Where is it made? Designed, cut, sewn and assembled at our factory in Rutherford, Hunter Valley, NSW. Why that matters.
