BingoPaw Extra Large Dog Bed (105x70x12cm) Calming Crate Mattress with Washable Cover
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
The BingoPaw Extra Large Dog Bed is designed as a crate mattress cushion: a thick, plush sleeping surface for kennels, cages and crates, with a removable cover and a non-skid base. It’s the sort of bed you’d choose when you want your dog to have a comfortable, calmer place to settle in a confined space, rather than an exposed bed that slides around.
On paper, the appeal is fairly straightforward: a long, ultra-soft fluffy top with a 12 cm-thick foam filling, plus practical extras like a waterproof, removable cover and a base meant to stop the mattress moving when your dog steps on or off. It’s not marketed as a medical device, but the “anti-anxiety” positioning suggests it’s intended to help some dogs feel more secure when they’re in a crate.
What you’ll notice day to day
The main thing you notice first is the height and feel. With a 12 cm thickness and plush, fluffy texture, it should feel more like a cosy cushion than a thin mat. If your dog is used to sleeping on softer surfaces, this type of mattress can be a smoother transition—especially if you’re setting up a crate area in a quiet corner.
There are also two everyday comfort details that matter more than people think. The filling is secured with stitching points so it stays evenly distributed and doesn’t clump up over time. And the cover is designed with a hidden zip for removal, making washing more realistic than beds with fixed covers.
One mild limitation: if your priority is maximum portability or a “flat fold and go” mattress, a thicker crate bed won’t behave like a travel blanket. It’s built for staying in place in the crate/cage/car setup.
Key features that actually help
The cover is described as waterproof and removable, with washing options by hand or machine and quick-drying at low temperatures. There’s also a water-resistant liner to protect the foam in case of accidents.
For stability, the bottom is an upgraded non-skid and non-scratch base with an Oxford bottom that’s tear-resistant and intended to help keep out most dirt spots. In use, a non-skid base is exactly what prevents that slightly annoying slide you get when a dog climbs in and out.
Lastly, it comes vacuum-packed. That’s normal for this style of product, but it does mean you should pat it down and allow it to inflate for about 72 hours before your dog uses it. If you’re buying for an immediate trip, factor that wait in.

Who it suits best (and who should be cautious)
It’s a good fit if you want a fluffy, thick crate cushion with an easier-to-wash waterproof cover—particularly helpful if your dog is prone to messes in their resting area, or you simply want less hassle when accidents happen.
It may not suit you as well if your dog needs a very firm, flat support surface, because the bed is built around plush comfort and a foam-filled cushion. Also, the “up to 35 kg” sizing guidance is included for XL fit, but individual dogs vary—so if you’re right on the edge of size, it’s worth measuring your crate and checking how much sleeping space your dog will actually have.
Practical placement ideas
If you’re setting up a crate at home, place this mattress so it sits flat and fully supported by the crate floor. The non-skid base is meant to reduce shifting when your dog enters or exits, so you’ll likely get a calmer routine—especially overnight.
For car or truck use, the waterproof cover and protective liner are the sort of features that help if you’re using the crate as a mobility setup. You’re still going to want a sensible routine for cleaning, but the design is clearly aimed at everyday mess management rather than delicate, hard-to-wash fabrics.
Pros and cons to weigh up
Strengths you can expect: - Plush, ultra-soft feel with a 12 cm thickness - Removable waterproof cover with a hidden zip - Water-resistant liner intended to protect the foam - Non-skid, non-scratch bottom to help prevent movement - Foam filling secured with stitching points to reduce clumping
Things to watch before buying: - Vacuum-packed, so you’ll need around 72 hours for it to fully inflate - If you want a very firm, minimal-support bed, this is more comfort-focused than structural - “Calming/anti-anxiety” is part of the positioning, but results can vary by dog—so it’s best viewed as a comfort setup, not a guarantee
Final verdict
Should you buy it? It makes sense if you’re specifically looking for an XL crate mattress with a plush top, a thick cushion feel, and a removable waterproof cover you can wash without drama. The non-skid, tear-resistant base is a sensible addition for dogs that move around when settling.
You may want to skip it if you need a firmer sleeping surface, or if you can’t wait for the mattress to inflate after vacuum packing. And if your crate setup is tight, double-check the 105x70x12 cm size against your crate floor so it fits properly rather than just “sort of” covering the base.
