Quick Answer
Choose a Standard Bully Bed Cover when protection and easy cleanup matter most, especially for dogs with incontinence or heavy drooling. Choose a Designer Bed Cover in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray when you want the same fit with a color that matches your room. Many owners keep one of each and swap as needed.
Your Bully Bed's foam does the heavy lifting for your dog's joints, but the cover takes the daily abuse. Mud, drool, accidents, and fur all land on the fabric, not the foam. That makes the cover choice more practical than it first appears.
Bully Beds offers two cover directions: a Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover built for moisture protection, and Designer Bed Covers in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray for a more finished look. This comparison walks through what each does well and where each falls short.
Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover
What Standard Bully Bed Covers Are Built For
The Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover is designed for dogs with major incontinence issues or beds exposed to lots of fluids or moisture for long periods. It also protects the foam underneath from accidents, drool, urine, and other liquids. That protection matters because foam is the expensive part of an orthopedic bed and the part you cannot easily replace.
A useful detail from the catalog: you can double up the waterproof covers for extra protection. If your dog has frequent accidents, two layers mean you can strip one off and still have a barrier in place while the first cover goes in the wash. The cover is available by size, so match it to your Bully Bed dimensions.
- Best first cover for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with incontinence
- Protects the foam, which is the hardest part of the bed to replace
- Sold by size, so measure your bed before ordering
What Designer Bed Covers Add
Designer Bed Covers in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray change how the bed looks in your home. Chocolate reads warm and hides dirt well in busy rooms. Sage is a softer, more muted choice that suits neutral spaces. Gray is the easiest to pair with most modern furniture. These are the covers to consider when the bed lives in a living room or bedroom rather than a crate or utility corner.
The trade-off is straightforward: designer covers are about appearance and fit, not about waterproofing. If your dog has accidents or drools heavily, a designer cover alone will not protect the foam the way the waterproof standard cover does. The practical move is to use the waterproof cover as the base layer and a designer cover on top when guests are around.
- Chocolate hides everyday dirt best in high-traffic rooms
- Sage and Gray blend into calmer, more neutral interiors
- Pair with a waterproof layer underneath if accidents are a concern
How to Choose Between the Two
Start with the dog, not the decor. If your dog is a puppy, a senior, or has any history of incontinence, the Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover should be your first purchase. It is the layer that protects the foam, and replacing foam costs far more than replacing a cover. Once that base is handled, a designer cover becomes a low-risk upgrade.
If your dog is fully housetrained, does not drool heavily, and the bed sits in a visible room, a Designer Bed Cover in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray may be all you need. Just be honest about your dog's habits. A cover that looks great but lets moisture reach the foam is a false economy.
- Buy waterproof first if accidents, drool, or moisture are likely
- Buy designer first if the bed is on display and your dog is reliable
- Two covers let you wash one while the other stays on the bed
Sizing, Fit, and Everyday Use
Both cover styles are sold by size, so the fit depends on matching the cover to your specific Bully Bed. Measure the bed itself rather than guessing from your dog's weight. A cover that is too small strains at the seams; one that is too large bunches up and wears unevenly.
For everyday use, keep at least one spare cover on hand. Accidents and muddy paws rarely happen on a convenient schedule. A spare means you can wash one cover and still have the bed usable the same day, which matters most for older dogs who need their orthopedic support every night.
- Measure the bed, not the dog, before choosing a size
- Keep a spare cover so the bed is never out of action
- Rotate covers to extend the life of each one
Trade-Offs at a Glance
- Moisture protection: The Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover is built to keep liquids away from the foam. Choose it first if accidents or drool are likely.
- Appearance: Designer Bed Covers in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray make the bed fit your room. Choose it when the bed is on display and your dog is reliable.
- Layering: A waterproof cover underneath plus a designer cover on top gives you both protection and looks. This is the most flexible setup for most homes.

Which Cover Fits Your Situation
Best for
- Dogs with incontinence, heavy drool, or frequent accidents
- Puppies and senior dogs still learning or losing bladder control
- Beds in crates, utility rooms, or anywhere moisture is a risk
Not for
- Owners who only care about color and have a fully reliable dog
- Homes where the bed is purely decorative and never gets wet
Pick the Standard Bully Beds Waterproof Cover if protection is the priority, and add a Designer Bed Cover in Chocolate, Sage, or Gray when you want the bed to look at home in your space. If you can, keep both. One protects the foam, the other protects your room's look, and together they keep your Bully Bed ready every night.
