It is based on bed construction used in medical environments, including NHS hospitals, to prevent the development of pressure sores. (The third photo above shows a hospital mattress.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design ensures an even distribution of weight across your dog’s body. Pressure on sensitive, inflamed areas is minimised, resulting in a reduction in muscle tension, greater comfort and improved sleep quality. This has been shown using pressure mapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes this an orthopaedic dog bed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hard to say what makes a bed orthopaedic, both for people and dogs. Some people with orthopaedic conditions like a firm bed, others like a soft one. This bed effectively combines both by having a high density foam base layer for support and the pressure relief (castellated) top surface. The use of memory foam does not make a bed 'orthopaedic'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClever Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe castellated bed structure of the Active Recovery\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e range allows the individual foam squares (castellations) to move in direct response to the amount of pressure applied. Castellated means cut into small squares with narrow channels between. This allows differential movement of the foam elements, ensuring an even distribution of pressure and  minimising loading to any one area. Your dog lies in a neutral position, reducing tension in muscles while the even spread of pressure will help reduce joint inflammation and the associated pain and stiffness. All this makes the bed ideal for dogs with joint issues and arthritis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptions available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Active Recovery\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e range comes in eight sizes and two foam configurations.
