Until the past few years, unusual and custom dog beds were unheard of. It was simply the norm that dogs would sleep on a mat, the couch, the owner's bed or a rug, and didn't need anything fancy. But as dogs have become more and more beloved over the years, and in many cases, rather more pampered, beds for dogs have also grown into items that dog owners have taken a shine to. The result of this has been the creation of dog beds that are fancy or unusual.

Many people looking for very special beds for dogs often decide on something like a canopy bed. Some look much like the traditional canopy frames that humans use, while others take on a more exotic tone. For example, Glamour Dog (www.glamourdog.com) sells what are essentially round, canopied tents, with roofs that rise to a pointed central spire. These luxury dog beds bring to mind something like a Sultan's tent, and are richly decorated with jewels or feathers or fur.

However, taking a less informal route in unusual dog beds, one very fascinating kind is the Murphy bed. This is the type of bed that is folded up against the wall during the day, showing only a decorative wooden cabinet. But for nighttime, the concealed mattress and bedding is lowered to the floor. This kind of dog furniture can be both utilitarian and decorative. It conserves space during the day, and can also be designed to go with the other furnishings in the room. It becomes a true component of the decor.

You can find beds for dogs in all sorts of unusual shapes. If you want your dog to sleep in a replica of a Mercedes Benz, you can do that. It can lounge in a gazebo with a pillow for a floor. It can sleep in hammocks, cots, spaceships, elegant French divans, anything you want. Manufacturers and websites offer dog beds for sale in any sort of design you can conceive. And if they don't have the type of design you want, some places will follow your specifications and create it for you. The sky is the really limit when it comes to creative bed ideas for your canine buddy.

As you can see, beds for dogs can be as utilitarian or as elaborate as you want them to be. In most cases, the dog itself won't really care, unless it's a choice between a simple mat on the floor or a memory foam mattress that gives aching joints a bit of relief.
