For all of those Great Dane-owners out there, what does your precious puppy sleep on every night? Maybe you happen to squeeze four normal-sized dog beds together to make one big enough for your dog? Or do you share your bed? Or did you just decide to give him his own bed? 
My Great Dane, Doogle, slept on a round futon mattress for the first four years with an adequate supply of every single blanket in the house for extra cushion and comfort. just a little spoiled. Did I mention that one of those blankets is a down blanket? Ahem, moving on…
Because of recent developments I knew that my dog bed just wasn’t cutting it for my Doogle. I mean, Great Danes sleep literally 18 hours a day, the man knows comfort and his bed just wasn’t it anymore. I stumbled upon Mammoth, a manufacturer of all shapes and sizes of dog beds. They even have a nice little feature that lets you find the best bed for your dog breed! They offer two sizes recommended for a Great Dane. The Extra Large size ($119.00) accommodates breeds up to 200 lbs and is 55” by 42” in size. Of course that’s plenty even for most Great Danes, but my pup would want a bed that wasn’t just the right size but that had plenty of extra space to stretch out. I opted for the Extra Extra Large Dog Bed that is over 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. Sure it takes up half the bedroom, but I haven’t seen my dog so happy since the day he discovered a couch.
The bed is composed of a removable giant inner pillow that sits in a separate cushioned ring for added support. Basically it’s one giant pillow that you might even want to sleep on occasionally. The entire bed is encased in a very durable canvas material, but comes in a wide range of colors, and denim and microfiber are available too. The whole bed, cover and pillows, is machine-washable and dryer safe. The covers are easily removed with a velcro seal, and I would know because I just tried it.
Overall, the bed is incredibly cushioned (the filling is made from a non-clumping, hypo-allergenic, high memory virgin industrial fiber fill, which offers orthopedic and long-lasting qualities). Ta-da! You can purchase the Mammoth Extra Extra Large Dog Bed for $199.99, which is a bargain since the bed will be bigger than your own mattress. The love we have for our dogs…

Thank you for posting this information. I have been trying to find something for my Great Dane Rocky, this is wonderful. Priced right compared to other inadequate sizes I’ve seen on the internet.
