Big Barker vs KOPECKS vs Orvis vs Bully Dog Beds: Comparison, Similarities and Differences

Overall, the Big Barker and Bully Beds dog beds are most similar.

Both are very high quality, are designed specifically for big dogs, and have lots of positive feedback and both offer the 10 year guarantee against the foam sinking or flattening. 

The KOPECKS is similar to these beds in many ways, except, as of December 2017, it comes without the guarantee on the foam sinking (although there doesn’t seem to be any issues with that from the people that have bought it).

The KOPECKS comes in at a low price point, presumably because of either the lack of a guarantee, or because the foam is not sourced in the USA (we can’t confirm where the foam comes from – it could be the USA or overseas – KOPECKS’s website doesn’t say).

All three of these beds come with the headrest on the bed, with the Big Barker also including a non headrest bed edition.

The Orvis dog bed is not like these three beds. It is only 4 inches thick, compared to the 3 beds mentioned above which are all 7 inches.

It’s worth noting Orvis does have other bolster memory foam beds available, and polyfill beds, but none are comparable to the Big Barker, Bully Beds or the KOPECKS bed.

 

Big Barker vs KOPECKS vs Orvis vs Bully Dog Beds: Summary, & Which Is The Best?

If we were to rank the beds in terms of overall value considering the quality and price, we would rank them in this order:

Big Barker

Bully Beds

KOPECKS

Orvis

 

If quality and a guarantee is more your thing, go for the Big Barker or Bully Beds beds which both come with a guarantee against the foam sinking.

These beds are probably also best for extra large and giant dogs as they are specifically designed for them, with the only Giant 60 x 48 inch long beds available.

One of the advantages of the Big Barker dog bed is that it has the option to buy with extremely high quality internal waterproof liners (we looked at all the waterproof liners, and their in our opinion was the best) in case you have a senior dog, a puppy, or a dog that can’t control their bodily functions for whatever reason.

If you’re on a budget but you still want good quality for dogs of most sizes, go for the KOPECKS for the low price.

Considering that the Orvis only offers 4 inches of foam, we wouldn’t select this bed at this point in time considering the price.

KOPEKS 7 Inch Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Bed

A cheap 7 inch orthopedic dog bed option, and the XXL size comes with a 3 inch headrest.

According to KOPEKS’s website, the foam is solid foam, and the extra large bed is made of 4 inches of H50 Support Foam at the bottom, and 1.5 inches of H10 Comfort Foam at the top of the mattress. 

However, this only adds up to 5.5 inches. The bed in real life is 7 inches for the mattress, so maybe they meant 3 inches of comfort foam and the website has the thicknesses and allocations of each type of foam incorrect.

There is 3 inches of H10 Contoured Foam as the headrest/pillow.

It’s not clear where the foam was made or sourced from.

There’s also a non slip backing on the bottom of the bed, and there’s two covers – an out washable cover, and an inner waterproof cover.

Comes in both a brown and a light blue color.

Comes in three sizes:

Small – 25 inches long x 20 inches wide

Large – 35 inches long x 28 inches wide

Extra Extra Large – 50 inches long x 34 inches wide

Potential Improvements

The Bully Beds dog bed and the Big Barker dog beds are some of the best quality dog beds for extra large and giant dogs on the market, but Big Barker might be more popular and the more commonly bought bed at this stage

We would like more information on the foam. Specifically if it’s made in America and the exact type of foam it is. As a comparison, Big Barker tell you their foam is made in America, and is H10 or H45 foam for example

The above things are very nit picky minor things though
