Dog parents know the look. The one where your dog circles their bed three times, flops down dramatically, sighs like they’ve worked a double shift, and immediately falls into the deepest sleep imaginable. It’s the universal sign that you chose the right bed. And lately, one oddly adorable dog bed has been triggering that exact reaction across social media feeds and living rooms alike.

At first glance, it looks more like a plush toy than a traditional dog bed. But once dogs curl up inside it, legs splayed, belly up, fully unbothered, the appeal becomes obvious. This bed supports more than naps. It invites them. For dogs who love to sprawl, burrow or lean against something soft, this quirky design seems to hit a sweet spot that standard rectangle beds don’t.

Ollie the Octopus Bed, $35–$65 at Bark

The Ollie the Octopus Bed from Bark is quickly becoming a favorite among dogs who take their rest very seriously. Designed with a round, cushioned center and plush tentacle arms that double as bolsters, this bed gives dogs a sense of security while still leaving plenty of room to stretch out.

Pricing varies by size, making it easy to find the right fit: the small costs $35, the medium costs $45, and the large costs $60. Each size features the same playful octopus design, complete with removable rear tentacle toys that squeak, which is perfect for dogs who want a little playtime before settling in for a nap.

What sets this bed apart isn’t just the whimsical look. Dogs naturally gravitate toward the raised edges, often resting their heads on the tentacles like built-in pillows. The circular shape helps anxious sleepers feel more contained, while the soft polyfill base provides enough cushion for more extended rest periods without flattening out too quickly.

The bed works exceptionally well for dogs who rotate between sleeping positions. Curlers, sprawlers, and belly-up snoozers all find their comfort zone with this one. For pups who treat their bed as both a lounge and a toy stash, the removable squeaky tentacles add an extra layer of enrichment.

If you’ve been comparing larger, more traditional beds like Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark Slab Dog Bed or upscale options such as the Kohl’s HomePop Luxury Pet Bed, this octopus-shaped option offers something different. It blends novelty with function, providing dogs with orthopedic support while adding personality to your space.

Beyond comfort, Bark’s attention to durability helps justify the splurge. The bed is made from 100 percent polyester and is designed to withstand daily use, and the structure retains its shape even after repeated naps, spins, and dramatic plops.

For dog parents who love products that spark joy, this bed feels like a win. It’s silly without being gimmicky, cozy without being bulky, and practical enough to earn a permanent spot in your dog’s sleep rotation. And judging by how hard dogs are napping in it, Ollie the Octopus Bed isn’t just cute; it’s clearly doing its job.
