A more affordable and portable Life of Riley dog bed option! But still a luxurious everyday bed for your dog without compromising the benefits of wool, design, or functionality. The main difference between The Swag Bed and our Original Dog Bed is that The Swag Bed has a single layer of wool inside - rather than a double layer and a slimmer-looking pillow design.
As you can see in the photos The Swag Bed is still thick and luxurious! Giving the bed height of roughly 10cm. The Swag Bed has a removable 100% Cotton Corduroy cover with a velcro closure. A 100% Organic terry cotton fabric is available for the large-size bed only.
Option to add a waterproof mattress protector inside the bed, this is recommended if you have a puppy or incontinent dog.
Going on holiday, to the batch with your best buddy? or dropping your dog at the kennels? The Swag Bed is just what you need - easy to pack in the car and a perfect temporary bed for your dog while you are away. Purchase a handy yoga strap to carry your large bed here: Swag Bed Strap
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
It is important to air the bed regularly and to flip it as often as possible. Wool naturally draws moisture away from your dog's body and regulates its temperature. So it needs air to circulate around it to dry it out.
As the wool isn’t designed to get wet - We recommend that you purchase one of our waterproof mattress protectors if you are using the bed for puppy crate training or have an incontinent dog etc.
Outer Corduroy Cover:
- Cold delicate machine wash on a cool cycle (or hand wash) We recommend using our Life of Riley "Laundry Wash"
- Hang inside out to dry in the shade (not direct sunlight) - Do not dry in the dryer.
- Because our covers are made from 100% cotton please don't leave them out in the sun for extended periods of time. In the long run, all fabric colours eventually fade in sunlight but cotton tends to fade easier than polyester.
White Insert Mattress /Cushion:
- The inner mattress can be spot cleaned only. DO NOT remove the wool from the white inner lining and DO NOT machine wash the inner.
- The zip is only there for when they are manufactured, it is not designed to have the wool removed.
- The inner can also be sprayed with nature’s miracle/odorex if needed to remove stains or odours.
- As the bed is natural It is important to air the inner mattress regularly in the sunshine whenever you wash the cover. Make sure to dry outside properly before putting the cover back on.
- IMPORTANT: If the wool is removed from the inner liner, you will find it extremely difficult to put it back in to lay flat again. There is also a high chance you will break the zip. We can sell replacement inner liners if this does happen but please be aware this will be at your own expense.
If cared for properly… your Life of Riley dog bed will last for many many years!

AustraliaName a more iconic duo
The bed came ready to use. It was the perfect fit for our wolfhound cross. It worked well with the aesthetic of our home and best of all, our big girl loved it whether on the tiles or in her crate. I have bought dog beds that were difficult to keep clean or didn’t offer the comfort she deserved. I am sad that it is so well made because now I can’t buy a second one.
New ZealandThe swag bed
It’s a great bed for a Staffy. She has one at home and we bought this extra one for car trips to a holiday home. It’s a good size and very comfortable. Wears well so far - we’ve had the first one for 11 months.
New ZealandLove Swag Bed and Sheepskin
I bought the medium swag bed to use in a medium crate and am using it as a daybed outside the crate. I absolutely love it and so does Maisy! Not only is it comfy and versatile, I love that I just need to wash the cover, so much less admin and all natural fibres! Also bought a medium sheepskin she snuggles in at night to go with it.
Great quality dog bed!
They are made well, really good tough fabric and high quality sewing so I expect them to last well. They clean up well too. Also they look good on my timber floors.
Love this bed
It's awesome and the large size actually fits both our dogs!
New ZealandComfy bed
Super comfy bed, fits my large crate and my puppy soon to be full size lab, loves it. Thank you
New ZealandSwag bed
Perfect. Flexible enough to fit her crate, sturdy fabric, washable outer, and she really likes it. Product came within 24-48 hours too. Thank you.
New ZealandTwo Swag beds = two happy dogs on holiday
These beds are great, while not as thick as the Original Life of Riley beds, they were still extremely comfortable. Our senior girl, Katy (14.5 year old Irish Setter), settled immediately onto her bed, despite it being on a concrete floor.
New ZealandSwag bed
Our woofer loves it especially with sheepskin! Easy to travel with - rolled & secured with straps. Service was great - received Ed within days of ordering & were RD. Thx team
New ZealandWoof - very comfy
Another bed, another good evening snoozing by the fire while the humans watch English crime drama on that screen thingy. Very glad they got another one; we were a bit cramped sharing. We have two big beds in the other room, but we like to hang with the humans, so they got us another bed. Good for the humans to take away when we travel.

New ZealandBest Dog Bed Ever
Life if Riley dog beds are great. I now have three of these two original and one swag, my dog loves it, I love it because covers are washable and it does not smell. The customer service is also fantastic
New ZealandExcellent quality and quick delivery
My cat loves this bed, first bed she’s wanted to sit on as soon as I put it down. I’ve bought half a dozen other shaped/high quality beds and she wouldn’t go anywhere near them. It’s a winner…thank you
AustraliaLove it !
Great. Our Boxer puppy loves his swag and the sausage pillow is genius.
New ZealandGreat looking bed
The dogs like them and they look good in my home.
New ZealandOne happy beagle!
Our beagle was getting cold at night so we wanted to get him something he could snuggle down into while in his crate. This has been the perfect bed for him, and he now takes himself off to bed before being told, he loves it. It was quick to arrive, the perfect size and the quality is fantastic! Would definitely recommend.
