One of the members of the family that always needs their own space is your dog. Whether your dog is a puppy or an older dog, they will need dog beds to provide it with a nice spot where it can retreat to, to take a nap, sleep for the night, or just relax after a long day of running and playing.
Many owners purchase dog beds so they can keep their dog off of furniture in their house. When the dog knows that they have their own space, most of the time they will stay there rather than getting on to your furniture.
Dog beds should be comfortable for your dog as well and give good support to their bodies. This is a place where many dogs chew and it will have to be maintained. Remember too that your dog is a dog.

As your dog gets older you may have to consider one of the many orthopedic style dog beds because they will give more support for those old aching bones. Many of these options have memory foam that adjusts to the needs of your dog.
Dog beds come in a variety of styles also and it is up to you as to the style you choose. Some of the styles you will find include dog couches, the traditional round beds, and donut style and pillbox versions.
