Quick answer
Replacing your Original Orthopedic Bully Bed cover is a simple, no-tools process: unzip the old cover, remove the foam, wash the cover, then zip the clean cover back on. The key is to avoid forcing the zipper and to let the cover air dry for the best fit.
Why a replacement cover makes sense
Over time, even the toughest microfiber covers collect dirt, hair, and odors. Instead of buying a whole new bed, swapping just the cover saves money and keeps your dog's sleeping surface hygienic. The Original Orthopedic Bully Bed covers are designed to be washable and removable, so you can refresh the bed in minutes.
What you need before you start
You only need the new or freshly washed cover and your existing Bully Bed foam base. No tools, no special skills. Make sure you have the correct size cover for your bed model. The covers are available in tan, gray, or chocolate and fit the original Bully Bed.
Step-by-step cover replacement
- Unzip the old cover completely: Locate the zipper along one edge of the bed. Unzip it all the way around before trying to remove the cover. Pulling the zipper while it's stuck on fabric can damage the teeth. A stuck zipper usually means the fabric is pinched. Gently tug the cover away from the zipper track, then try again.
- Remove the foam base: With the cover unzipped, lift the foam pad out of the cover. Set it aside on a clean surface. Do not fold or compress the foam for long periods, as it may lose its shape. If the foam feels damp, let it air out before putting on the new cover to prevent mildew.
- Wash or replace the cover: Machine wash the old cover in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low or air dry. If you're putting on a brand new cover, skip this step and go straight to fitting. Avoid high heat drying—it can shrink the microfiber and make the cover harder to zip on.
- Fit the cover onto the foam: Turn the cover inside out and slide the foam base into it. This reduces friction and helps the cover glide over the foam. Once the foam is inside, flip the cover right-side out and adjust the corners. If the cover feels tight, don't force it. Remove the foam and try again with the cover inside out—it really does help.
- Zip the cover closed: Start zipping from one end and work your way around, keeping the fabric flat and away from the zipper teeth. Zip slowly to avoid snags. Once closed, smooth out any wrinkles by hand. A smooth, flat zipper line means the cover is on evenly. If you see bunching, unzip and reposition the foam.
