Human dog beds

Now being sold on HSN. We have truly reached peak consumerism.

They were on shark tank. I also saw them on Amazon and Costco when I was looking at real dog beds for real dogs.

They look comfortable. I suppose people who have cabins, or a lot of overnight guests, anytime you need a comfortable place to sleep would be interested in these.

They look much better than the old mats or cots that are out there.

My father always slept on the floor. He wasn't comfortable in a bed or sofa. He would have loved one of these.

I don't know why they call them dog beds for humans though.

These have been around for several years.

I have one shaped like that human dog bed for my golden. All of my goldens have loved that style of bed...oval donut/bagel bed.

I don't care how long they have been around or what show they were on - these are asinine. It's hard to imagine a less necessary product. You like to sleep on the floor? Use a futon or air mattress or even sleeping bag. I'm waiting for the human cat tree/scratching post next.

As a veteran of doggie bed wars, for us people, in front of the wood stove, I vote for an enormous bed. Grand puppies don't share well 😂

Well, it DOES look comfy! Maybe they are tapping into a new market -- for humans who "identify" as dogs. I'm sure there are some out there.

The origional one is for sale here on the Q. It's called the Pluffy, and it debut on Shawn saves Christmas a few weeks ago. Even on sale, it's expensive.

I don't see these as being any more ridiculous than bean bag chairs and sofas. In fact, if adequately cushioned on the bottom, they appear to be quite cozy and practical for lounging or ever sleeping. Kids would love them.

@Bookplate, are you implying you ONLY purchase "necessary" products or are you just demeaning people that cater to their wants?

I think peak or excess consumerism has been around longer than these beds.

We all spend money on different things, and I'm sure we all have opinions on what's a silly purchase and what's not. I don't want people shaming me or telling me what I should or shouldn't buy.

Could we be better consumers and less wasteful and frivolous in our purchases? Do we buy because we need it, or because of the thrill and excitement of having something new? I know I could do better on my purchases. I'm not going to speak for others.

I can see this as something that kids would love!

However at my age with a bad knee I can barely get down on the floor without hurting my knee let alone trying to get up!

The first one is now on sale for $280. Better hurry before they sell out.

I think most dogs rather jump in bed with us?

Our dogs had their own foam pads we cut & covered with a zipper for cleaning.

I would have bought one for my 175 lb Great Dane. Only dog I ever had who didn't sleep in bed with us as he was too big. He is gone now but would have had one of these beds were they available at the time. He was worth the price.

@Citrine1 Great call out! Never thought of that! I mean, we've seen (or heard of) litter boxes placed in school bathrooms now for children who identity as cats!

@Kachina624 Good point! And the doggies can hop right in, all of them snuggling together for sleepovers!

GD sent a picture of Ellie's new XL, luxurious pet bed...she was stretched out from head to toe comfortably relaxing. It made me smile. Ellie, should have the very best bed she deserves only the best, as all animals.
