Things can get mucky when you have a dog. So we'd recommend a dog bed with covers that can be easily removed and machine washed.
Hindquarters dog beds are oval shaped with a removable cover for both the central cushion and the bolster. Once the covers are washed and dried, here are photos and instructions showing how to get covers back on a dog bed.

Hindquarters dog beds come in two parts - a central cushion and a surrounding bolster. Both parts of the dog bed have a cover:
The dog bed covers open and close with a velcro strip:
Start by putting a cover on the the central cushion:
The cushions and covers are oval in shape - so the first step is to manoeuvre the cushion into its cover sideways:
Gently ease the cushion into its cover:
As the cover goes on, turn the cushion slowly so that it fits the oval shape:
Ensure the cover fits neatly on the oval cushion:
Fix the velcro strip:
Next, take the bolster cover and find the opening:
Take the top of the dog bed - and insert it into the cover. Position the cover so that when assembled the velcro strip will run the length of the dog bed at the base:
Flip the dog bed - and continue to gently insert the bolster into the cover:
Shove the cushion in bit by bit:
Gently push the last bit of the inner dog bed into the cover, holding the seam together:
Adjust the cover so that it fits correctly:
Fix the velcro at the base of the dog bed:
Flip the dog bed over and insert the central cushion:
And there we have it - a medium sized dog bed with orange moleskin covers:
