{"product_id":"foam-dog-steps-for-high-bed","title":"Aspen Foam Dog Steps for Bed, 3 to 5 Steps up to 23.6\" Tall","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost dog steps are built for a couch. A bed is a different problem. A modern mattress on a frame sits around 25 inches off the floor, and three steps do not reach it, so the dog makes a final lunge from the top tread, which is the exact movement the steps were meant to prevent. Aspen is a set of foam dog steps for bed height, and it goes to five steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five-step stands 23.6 inches tall, which clears a high bed without the last jump. The treads are pale bouclé over high-density foam, so a paw finds grip instead of sliding, and the sides are a darker fabric that hides the marks a light pet piece picks up beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover unzips entirely and goes in the machine.

Three steps suits around 15 inches, four around 19, five around 23; the top tread should sit just under the mattress, not level with it. Aspen is for small and medium dogs up to about 40 lb, so dachshunds, corgis, small terriers and older cats. It is not for a Labrador. On a 28-inch bed there is still a step up at the top, which is fine for a dog with working back legs but not for one with real hip trouble; for very high beds a ramp is the better answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about dog steps for bed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"lu-faq\" style=\"border-top:1px solid #E4DED4;margin:8px 0 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E4DED4\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:16px 0;font-weight:600\"\u003eHow do I choose between 3, 4 and 5 steps?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px\"\u003eMeasure floor to the top of your mattress.
