The Swag Bed - A more affordable and portable Life of Riley dog bed option! But still a luxurious everyday bed for your dog without compromising the benefits of wool, design, or functionality.
The main difference between The Swag Bed and our Original Dog Bed is the filling — The Swag Bed features a single layer of plush wool (instead of a double layer) and a slimmer, stylish pillow design.
Despite its sleeker look, as shown in the photos, The Swag Bed remains thick and luxurious with a height of approximately 10cm, providing excellent comfort and support for your dog.
It comes with a removable, durable 100% cotton corduroy cover secured by a velcro closure. For extra protection, especially if you have a puppy or an incontinent dog, you can add a waterproof mattress protector inside the bed.
Available Sizes:
-
Small: 70 x 50 cm
-
Medium: 89 x 70 cm
-
Large: 110 x 89 cm
-
Extra Large: 125 x 89 cm
Planning a holiday, a trip to the bach, or a kennel stay with your furry friend? The Swag Bed is lightweight and easy to pack—making it the perfect portable bed for your dog. Don’t forget to check out our Swag Bed Strap for convenient carrying of the large size!
Care Instructions for Your Life of Riley Dog Bed
To keep your dog’s bed fresh and comfortable, regular airing and flipping are essential. Wool naturally wicks moisture away from your dog’s body and helps regulate temperature, but it needs good airflow to dry thoroughly. Since the wool filling isn’t designed to get wet, we highly recommend using one of our waterproof mattress protectors if the bed is used for puppy crate training or for incontinent dogs.
Outer Corduroy Cover Care:
-
Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle or hand wash (we recommend our Life of Riley Laundry Wash).
-
Hang to dry inside out in the shade — avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Do not tumble dry.
-
As our covers are 100% cotton, prolonged sun exposure will cause colors to fade faster than synthetic fabrics.
White Inner Mattress / Cushion Care:
-
Spot clean only. Do not machine wash or remove the wool from the inner lining.
-
The zipper is for manufacturing purposes and is not intended for removing the wool filling.
-
For stains or odors, spray with natural enzymatic cleaners like Nature’s Miracle or Odorex.
-
Air the mattress regularly in the sun when washing the cover to keep it fresh and dry before replacing the cover.
Important: Removing the wool from the inner liner will make it difficult to reposition flat and may damage the zipper. Replacement inner liners are available but at your own expense.
With proper care, your Life of Riley dog bed will provide comfort and durability for many years to come.

Quality Product
Love this pet bed pillow! Purchased for my cat. Great quality, stylish and easy to clean! Highly recommend.

Superb mattress
Thank you, the mattress and cover is exactly what I hoped for. Beautiful and hard-wearing. My dogs love it.

Name a more iconic duo
The bed came ready to use. It was the perfect fit for our wolfhound cross. It worked well with the aesthetic of our home and best of all, our big girl loved it whether on the tiles or in her crate. I have bought dog beds that were difficult to keep clean or didn’t offer the comfort she deserved. I am sad that it is so well made because now I can’t buy a second one.


Love Swag Bed and Sheepskin
I bought the medium swag bed to use in a medium crate and am using it as a daybed outside the crate. I absolutely love it and so does Maisy! Not only is it comfy and versatile, I love that I just need to wash the cover, so much less admin and all natural fibres! Also bought a medium sheepskin she snuggles in at night to go with it.
Great quality dog bed!
They are made well, really good tough fabric and high quality sewing so I expect them to last well. They clean up well too. Also they look good on my timber floors.
Love this bed
It's awesome and the large size actually fits both our dogs!

Comfy bed
Super comfy bed, fits my large crate and my puppy soon to be full size lab, loves it. Thank you

Swag bed
Perfect. Flexible enough to fit her crate, sturdy fabric, washable outer, and she really likes it. Product came within 24-48 hours too. Thank you.

Two Swag beds = two happy dogs on holiday
These beds are great, while not as thick as the Original Life of Riley beds, they were still extremely comfortable. Our senior girl, Katy (14.5 year old Irish Setter), settled immediately onto her bed, despite it being on a concrete floor.

Swag bed
Our woofer loves it especially with sheepskin! Easy to travel with - rolled & secured with straps. Service was great - received Ed within days of ordering & were RD. Thx team

Woof - very comfy
Another bed, another good evening snoozing by the fire while the humans watch English crime drama on that screen thingy. Very glad they got another one; we were a bit cramped sharing. We have two big beds in the other room, but we like to hang with the humans, so they got us another bed. Good for the humans to take away when we travel.

Life if Riley dog beds are great. I now have three of these two original and one swag, my dog loves it, I love it because covers are washable and it does not smell. The customer service is also fantastic
