EMPSIGN Large Washable Dog Mattress with Waterproof Liner (Reversible) Grey, 89x56x7.5cm
Product description
The essentials
If you’re looking for a crate pad that’s meant to be used day in, day out, the EMPSIGN Large Washable Dog Mattress is built around a practical routine: a firm, supportive foam base, a waterproof liner, and a detachable cover you can machine wash. It’s a reversible design too, with a “warm” plush side and a “cool” breathable canvas side, so you’re not stuck with one feel all year.
On paper, this kind of bed tends to suit households where accidents happen (or where your dog is simply a bit enthusiastic with water and mud). The waterproof liner is there to help protect the foam, while the reversible cover approach makes it easier to adapt to seasonal comfort. Still, it’s worth keeping expectations realistic: no dog mattress is truly indestructible, and heavy chewers or very rough use can shorten its life.
It’s also shipped vacuum-compressed, so you’ll need to allow it to inflate properly before the first proper use. That’s normal for this style of packaging, but it’s one of those steps people forget, then wonder why it feels a bit off.
Key points
This is a large crate mattress in a reversible, double-sided format. One side focuses on warmth and comfort with plush, while the other focuses on breathability with a canvas feel. The foam is wrapped with a removable waterproof liner, and the cover is detachable and machine washable for straightforward cleaning.
The dimensions are set up for dogs within 30kg, and the sleep surface is listed at approximately 89cm by 56cm (with overall dimensions around 89×56×7.6cm). It’s positioned as a firmer support option for crate time rather than a super-cushiony lounge bed.
Worth considering if you want a washable solution that’s more “care-friendly” than many one-piece crate pads. It may feel less convincing if your priority is a soft, sink-in mattress or if your dog tends to destroy bedding quickly—because even with the liner, the cover and overall construction still need normal, reasonable use.
What to know before buying
Two things can make or break the fit: size and behaviour.
First, the manufacturer states suitability for dogs within 30kg. If your dog is clearly larger, or if they like to sprawl well beyond typical crate positions, you may want to double-check whether the approx. sleep surface matches how your dog actually lies.
Second, this bed comes with a warm notice that no bed is indestructible and timely replacement is recommended if damage occurs. If you’ve had beds torn apart in the past, you may want to plan for faster wear and consider whether your dog needs a tougher setup.
Also, note the “warm notice” about inflation time after delivery. Because it’s shipped under vacuum-sealed compression, you should leave it to inflate for 24–48 hours before use. If you’re trying to set it up the same day it arrives, you might be disappointed by the initial shape.
Where it shines
The biggest strength here is the combination of washable cover + waterproof protection + reversible sleeping surface.
In everyday use, it’s the sort of bed you can keep in rotation: rotate or flip the mattress for a different feel, then wash the detachable cover when needed. For crate use, that’s genuinely convenient—especially if your dog has a habit of muddy paws, drool, or occasional toileting accidents.
A micro example: say you wipe down the crate after a rainy walk, but your dog still tracks in moisture. With the waterproof liner designed to wrap the foam, you’re not relying on the fabric alone to handle dampness. Then, once everything’s settled, you can remove the cover and machine wash instead of trying to scrub the entire mattress.
You’ll also appreciate that both materials are described as gentle on skin and nose, aiming for more restful sleep. That doesn’t guarantee results for every dog, but it’s a good sign for comfort-focused crate time.

Care and maintenance
This is a washable crate mattress, but it still needs sensible handling.
The detachable cover is machine washable, which should make regular freshening up far easier than spot-clean only designs. The foam is wrapped with a removable waterproof liner, which is helpful for damp protection, but you’ll still want to follow normal care habits—don’t assume it can be soaked like a waterproof mat.
After vacuum-sealed delivery, allow it to inflate for 24–48 hours. If you don’t, it may not feel properly supportive during those first uses, particularly if you’re expecting the “firm support” feel straight away.
Is it worth it?
It’s a solid pick if you want a large reversible crate mattress with firmer support, a washable detachable cover, and a waterproof liner to help protect the foam from damp-related messes. It suits households where crate time needs to be cleaner and easier to maintain, and where switching between a plush warm side and a breathable cool side could actually make a difference.
You may want to skip it if your dog is a serious bedding destroyer, because the brand’s own warning is that no bed is indestructible. It might not be a great match if you’re after a very soft, highly squishy mattress feel, since this one is positioned around firmer support.
If you’re deciding between a “wash the whole thing” approach and a more protected foam setup, this design leans toward convenience and protection. Just make sure the approx. sleep surface suits your dog’s typical position in the crate, and give it the 24–48 hours to fully inflate when it arrives.
