Medium-sized dogs have a different rhythm of life - and as a result, different needs when it comes to rest. Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Corgis, Basenjis, Whippets, Shiba Inus, Standard Schnauzers, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, English Springer Spaniels, Brittany Spaniels, Keeshonds, Finnish Spitz, Portuguese Water Dogs, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, American Eskimo Dogs (standard), Tibetan Terriers, Lagotto Romagnolos, and similar breeds tend to be more active, often change positions while sleeping, and require more space without losing a sense of stability.
For them, it’s important that a dog bed combines enough surface area for movement with proper support that holds over time. Fabric texture, the ability of the material to maintain its shape, and a construction that doesn’t restrict but still defines the space are key factors when choosing the right bed.
In this selection, we’ve curated Chester & Lee dog beds in sizes M–XL that meet the needs of medium breeds - providing a balance between comfort, freedom of movement, and consistent support.
Fancy Corduroy Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
Corduroy in this format creates a denser, more structured surface. For medium-sized dogs, this is essential - weight is distributed evenly, and the bed maintains its shape even with active daily use. The texture adds a tactile quality while providing a stable foundation for rest.
Best for: Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Corgis, Whippets.
Classic Velvet Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
Textured velvet works as a reliable everyday solution. It feels soft but retains structure, making it ideal for dogs that frequently shift positions during sleep. It delivers comfort without excessive softness.
Best for: Staffordshire Bull Terriers, English Springer Spaniels, Brittany Spaniels, Keeshonds, Finnish Spitz, Basenjis.
Vibrant Velvet Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
Smooth velvet creates a more dynamic surface - it reacts to light, adds depth, and feels visually alive. At the same time, the bed remains structurally stable, which is important for dogs that alternate between different resting positions.
Best for: Shiba Inus, Standard Schnauzers, Bull Terriers, American Eskimo Dogs (standard), Portuguese Water Dogs, Lagotto Romagnolos.
Cotton Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
The cotton, linen-like fabric provides lightness and breathability. This is especially relevant for active medium-sized dogs that tend to warm up quickly. It allows for more freedom of movement and prevents overheating.
Best for: Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Whippets, Vizslas, English Setters, Standard Poodles.
Furry Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
Faux fur adds warmth and softness, while the sleeper shape keeps the space open. It’s a good option for dogs that enjoy comfort but don’t prefer fully enclosed beds - a balance between coziness and openness.
Best for: Shiba Inus, Basenjis, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Tibetan Terriers.
Waterproof Sleeper Dog Bed
Sleeper Collection
A practical option for everyday use. The fabric has a more durable, resistant surface that handles activity, moisture, and frequent use well. This is a solution for dogs that need a more hard-wearing material without compromising comfort.
Best for: English Springer Spaniels, Brittany Spaniels, Keeshonds, Portuguese Water Dogs, Lagotto Romagnolos, American Staffordshire Terriers.
Bagel Dog Bed
Bagel Collection
The bagel shape creates a more contained space, but in a larger size it also suits medium breeds. The soft interior combined with a structured exterior allows the dog to both relax and feel supported from all sides. It’s a great option for dogs that occasionally prefer a more enclosed resting environment.
Best for: Corgis, Beagles, Shiba Inus, French Bulldogs, Miniature Schnauzers, Boston Terriers.
Medium-sized dogs need balance - between movement and stability, openness and support. These qualities define whether a bed becomes a place your dog returns to every day.
Chester & Lee is about care that is felt through comfort for your dog, and aesthetics that remain important for you. It’s where function and design don’t compete, but work together - as part of your everyday space.
