We all know that dogs have an incredible sense of smell. Ours certainly see the world via their noses. Sometimes it seems there is no better place to lie than on the laundry. And my socks go missing.

Stuff It Yourself dog beds have been designed so that you can stuff them with your old clothes and bedding.
This way your dog will be laying on a bed that smells of their favourite person in the whole world:

The bliss of a dog bed that smells of you:
Here are instructions on how to to stuff a dog bed yourself:
STEP 1 : GATHER TOGETHER A LARGE PILE OF OLD PILLOWS, DUVETS, BLANKETS OR JUMPERS.
Our dog bed sizes are generous so bulkier items will fill your dog bed quicker. Duvets, pillows, jumpers and blankets are ideal, although anything soft will do the trick.
Soft blankets are a suggested good Stuff It Yourself dog bed filler:
Below is a rough guide to the volume of stuffing you will require for your Stuff It Yourself dog bed:
XS : good for a Jack Russell or Border Terrier : the central cushion will take a couple of pillows, for example, and the bolster a small size duvet rolled up and shoved right in.
SMALL dog bed size : good for a Dachshund or Frenchie : the small bed central cushion takes 8 or 9 jumpers or similar and the bolster takes about 9 blankets - or equivalent - so that it stays firm and comfy.
About 8 jumpers and sweatshirts will fill a small size central cushion:
MEDIUM size : good for Cockapoos and Corgis : a medium sized dog bed will take, for example, a king size duvet in the bolster and 4 or 5 pillows in the central cushion.
LARGE size dog bed : good for Labradors and Boxers : the L size central cushion will take 10 blankets and the bolster 5 sleeping bags or the equivalent.
Blankets are a good filler for a Large dog bed:
XL : suitable for big dogs : we suggest large, bulky, soft items to fill a XL dog bed, mhe bolster will take a couple of old duvets and a few pillows and a big stack of old jumpers would fill the central cushion.
STEP 2 : STUFF THE CENTRAL CUSHION.
Take time to push the stuffing right to the edges and tightly in.
The cushion has a central pin stitch to help your dog form an indent, as they do from instinct, as they would in the wild. Stuff around the pin stitch.
Shake and plump when full.

STEP 3 : STUFF THE BOLSTER.
Shove the first piece of stuffing right down to the opposite end of the dog bed. Pack the next pieces of stuffing in as tightly as possible. Then stuff the bolster from either side.
Stuff the dog bed bolster bit by bit keeping things as firm as possible:
STEP 4 : PUT THE STUFFED CUSHION INTO THE STUFFED BOLSTER. AND DIVE IN.
