Beautyrest Lux Lounger Couch Pet Bed: Sizes, Specs and Buying Guide
The Beautyrest Lux Lounger couch pet bed is a bolstered, foam-filled dog bed sold in two sizes, 36 by 27 inches and 41 by 31 inches, with a removable polyester cover. This guide is based on the manufacturer’s published specifications and category standards rather than hands-on testing, so every figure below comes from Beautyrest’s own product page, a retailer listing, or a cited standard.
Two numbers decide whether this bed suits your dog, and only one of them appears in the product title. The bed measures 36 inches long. The part your dog can lie on measures 24 inches.
What Are the Beautyrest Lux Lounger Couch Pet Bed Specs?
According to Beautyrest’s own product page, as of October 2026, the Lux Lounger has:
- Large: 36 x 27 x 8 inches, outer measurement
- Extra Large: 41 x 31 x 10 inches, outer measurement
- Sleep surface: 24 x 19 inches on the Large, 28 x 22 inches on the Extra Large, per Tractor Supply’s listing
- Top layer: charcoal-infused foam sleep surface
- Base: convoluted ortho foam
- Bolsters: soft polyester fill
- Cover: 100% polyester, removable and machine washable
- Fill: 60% polyester fibre, 40% polyurethane foam
- Certification: CertiPUR-US certified foam
- Odour control: Ultra-Fresh technology
- Weight: 8 to 9 lb depending on size
- Colours: grey and tan
Retailer listings describe the foam differently. Beautyrest’s page calls the top layer a “Charcoal-Infused Blended Foam Sleep Surface,” Tractor Supply calls it “charcoal-infused shredded memory foam,” and Kohl’s lists “AirCool memory foam.” Beautyrest’s page says “Assembled in the USA” while Kohl’s lists the bed as imported. If a specific claim matters to you, buy from the listing that makes it and keep the page.
How Big Is the Sleeping Area, Really?
This is the single most useful thing to know about any bolstered bed, and the Lux Lounger makes it easy to see. On the Large, the bed is 36 inches long and 27 inches wide, but the flat sleeping area inside the bolsters is 24 by 19 inches. The bolsters take roughly a third of the length and a third of the width.
Now compare that with the recommended pet size. Kohl’s lists the Lux Lounger as suited to dogs of 75 to 100 lb, and gives that same range for both sizes. A dog in that range is a Labrador, a golden retriever or a German shepherd. A dog that size stretched out is considerably longer than 24 inches.
That is not automatically a problem, because many dogs curl up and like resting their head on a raised edge. It is the point of a bolster bed. But it does mean two things:
- If your dog sleeps stretched out, on its side with legs extended, measure it from nose to tail base while it is lying down and compare that with 24 or 28 inches, not with 36 or 41.
- If your dog curls up or likes to rest its chin on something, the bolsters are a feature rather than lost space.
A common mistake is to buy the larger size purely because the dog is heavy. Weight tells you how much support the foam needs. Length tells you which size to buy.
Can You Wash the Whole Bed?
No, and this is the detail most likely to catch out a new owner. The cover is machine washable. The foam is not.
Beautyrest’s care instructions are specific. For the foam: “Remove foam cushion from zippered outer cover. Do not put foam in washer or dryer. Spot clean with mild soap, rinse, squeeze water out gently. Let air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.” For the cover: machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, lay flat or line dry, and do not bleach, iron or dry clean. Beautyrest also recommends a large-capacity washer without an agitator, and says not to remove the polyester filling from the bolster.
Kohl’s listing, by contrast, summarises care as simply “Machine wash.” Read that as applying to the cover only.
That is worth thinking through before you buy. If your dog is elderly, unwell or still house-training, accidents reach the foam, and foam that has to be spot cleaned and air dried is out of action for a day or more. A waterproof liner between the cover and the foam, or a washable blanket on top, solves most of it. For a bed you can put through the machine whole, our guide to the MAXX pet bed covers a crate bed that Midwest describes as machine washable and dryer safe.
What Does CertiPUR-US Certification Cover?
Beautyrest states the Lux Lounger uses CertiPUR-US certified foam. That is a real third-party programme for flexible polyurethane foam, and it is worth knowing exactly what it promises.
According to CertiPUR-US, certified foam is:
- Made without formaldehyde
- Made without ozone depleters
- Made without mercury, lead and other heavy metals
- Made without phthalates regulated by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission
- Screened for relevant chemicals, including flame retardants
- Low in VOC emissions for indoor air quality, at less than 0.5 parts per million
In other words, it is a statement about what the foam is made of and what it gives off, which matters for a product your dog will sleep on and breathe next to for years. What it does not tell you is how long the foam will hold its shape, how it performs for an arthritic dog, or whether it will survive a chewer. Those are separate questions, and no certification answers them.
Does the Antimicrobial Treatment Protect Your Dog?
No, and that distinction is written into US regulation. Beautyrest lists Ultra-Fresh technology, described as controlling odour and providing lasting freshness. Ultra-Fresh is a brand of antimicrobial treatment applied to textiles.
Treatments like this fall under what the Environmental Protection Agency calls the treated articles exemption. The EPA’s guidance on consumer products treated with pesticides explains that the exemption applies to “an article or a substance treated with or containing a pesticide to protect the article or substance itself,” and that it “is available only for the protection of the product and not for public health uses.” The agency gives sample label wording for such products: “The antimicrobial properties do not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs, or other disease organisms.”
Applied to a dog bed, that means the treatment is there to stop odour-causing bacteria growing in the fabric, keeping the bed fresher for longer. It is a laundry benefit, not a health benefit for your pet. Treat it as a reason the bed may smell less between washes, and nothing more.
Where Should You Buy It, and What Should It Cost?
Prices for this bed vary more than almost anything else about it, and the gap is large enough to be worth five minutes of checking.
- Beautyrest’s own site: $79.99 for the Large and $99.99 for the Extra Large at the time of writing, with the tan Extra Large out of stock
- Tractor Supply: $99.99
- Kohl’s: $159.99 listed as the regular price, shown at $127.99 with a promotion
Buying direct from the brand was the cheapest route by a wide margin when we checked. Say you see the Lux Lounger in a store sale at $120 and it looks like a bargain against a $159.99 ticket price. Checking the manufacturer’s own page first would have shown $79.99 for the same size. Stock and promotions change, so check all three before ordering, and confirm which size you are looking at, since the two differ by $20 at the brand’s own prices.
Who Is the Lux Lounger Best For?
On its published specifications, it suits a medium to large dog that curls up or likes to rest its head on a raised edge, in a household where the bed will live in one spot rather than move around. The foam base and CertiPUR-US certification make it a reasonable choice for an older dog that needs support on a hard floor.
It is a weaker fit for a dog that sleeps fully stretched out, for a chewer, and for any dog likely to have accidents, since the foam cannot go in the machine. If your dog is unsettled rather than uncomfortable, our guide to pet anxiety products that work may be more use than a new bed, and for lower-impact bedding see our guide to sustainable pet products.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Beautyrest Lux Lounger couch pet bed?
The Large measures 36 x 27 x 8 inches on the outside, with a 24 x 19 inch sleeping area. The Extra Large measures 41 x 31 x 10 inches, with a 28 x 22 inch sleeping area. The bolsters account for the difference.
Is the Beautyrest Lux Lounger machine washable?
The cover is. The foam is not. Beautyrest says to remove the foam and spot clean it with mild soap, then air dry it away from direct sunlight and heat. Only the cover goes in the washing machine, on cold and gentle.
What size dog is the Lux Lounger for?
Kohl’s lists a recommended pet size of 75 to 100 lb for the bed. Because the sleeping area is 24 or 28 inches long depending on size, measure your dog lying down rather than relying on weight alone, especially if it sleeps stretched out.
Is it true that an antimicrobial pet bed keeps your dog healthier?
No. Under the EPA’s treated articles exemption, antimicrobial treatments in consumer goods are there to protect the product itself, not the user. The EPA’s own sample wording states such properties “do not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs, or other disease organisms.” On a dog bed, the benefit is odour control.
What does CertiPUR-US mean on a pet bed?
It means the polyurethane foam is certified as made without formaldehyde, ozone depleters, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, and CPSC-regulated phthalates, screened for flame retardants, and tested at less than 0.5 ppm VOC emissions. It does not certify durability or chew resistance.
How much should the Beautyrest Lux Lounger cost?
Beautyrest listed the Large at $79.99 and the Extra Large at $99.99 on its own site at the time of writing, while Tractor Supply listed it at $99.99 and Kohl’s at $159.99 before promotions. Check the brand’s own page before buying elsewhere.
Final Thoughts
The Beautyrest Lux Lounger couch pet bed is a bolstered foam bed with a washable cover, CertiPUR-US certified foam and an odour-control treatment, in sizes of 36 by 27 inches and 41 by 31 inches. On paper it is a sensible, comfortable bed for a dog that curls up.
Size it by the 24 or 28-inch sleeping area rather than the outside measurement, plan for spot cleaning the foam rather than washing the whole bed, and check the manufacturer’s own price before paying a retailer’s. Those three checks are where most of the value in this purchase sits.
