Large and XL beds are best planned as a size programme across the bed families rather than a separate catalogue, so buyers can run one design language from small to extra-large. Confirm, per design at quotation, which families and designs are available in large sizes.
Big dogs are hard on beds — seams, fill loft and cover durability all get tested — and large sizes are where under-specified products fail first. This page sets out how to plan the large end of a bed range.
Start from the breeds your market actually keeps: a Labrador and a Great Dane do not share a bed size. Plan at least two large steps above the standard bed, with the largest aimed at giant breeds and multi-dog households. When you brief us, name the breeds and the sleeping style (sprawlers need flat pillow formats; curlers do well in high-sided cuddler and sofa formats).
Construction points to verify on samples for large sizes: seam strength under load, whether the sleeping surface keeps its loft, and how the cover handles washing at the frequency big-dog ownership implies — our size guide article on the blog walks through measuring a dog for a bed, which is the same method buyers use to set size breaks.
Carton planning is part of the quotation at this size, because freight dominates the economics; confirm compression options per construction. Samples are typically ready in one week; production lead time is 40 to 50 days.
Large beds are a freight business disguised as a sewing business. An XL bed can occupy the carton volume of several medium beds, so compression is a central question in a large-bed programme: whether the construction tolerates vacuum packing, how fully it recovers its loft on opening, and how clearly the packaging tells the customer to allow recovery time. Discuss compression at sampling, not at shipping — some fill stories compress beautifully and some should never be compressed, and the answer decides your carton plan, your container loading and ultimately your retail price. Plan large beds in the same programme as smaller, denser goods where you can.
Private label customization is part of the Rena Pet program. Confirm, per design at quotation, which elements — fabrics, colours, printed artwork, logo labels, packaging — apply.
Samples are typically ready in one week. Production lead time is 40 to 50 days; confirm order quantities per design in the quotation.
