If you’re looking for a car boot dog bed, then you’ve come to the right place.
I compared the descriptions and ratings of more than 50 different dog beds for the trunk for you over 20 hours of research and picked out the five best models for you.
Among them is my personal test winner, the Knuffelwuff Cargo dog bed box.
It has its own boarding aid that protects the vehicle from dirt or scratches by the dog.
My winner from the test doesn’t have to be your favorite. That’s why I picked out four more models and compared their advantages and disadvantages for you.

My dog bed favorites for the trunk
All 5 dog beds in comparison
The test winner: Knuffelwuff Cargo dog box
The Knuffelwuff Cargo dog box is made of quilted imitation leather and is water-repellent. The material and the seams are very robust and can therefore withstand greater loads.
The water-repellent surface not only makes it easy to clean, dirt can also not penetrate into deeper layers. If there is superficial dirt, you can simply wipe it off with a damp cloth.
What I particularly liked about this model is the extra long entry aid. The boarding aid protects your vehicle from dirt and scratches and also gives your dog a surface over which it can move safely.
The lying surface and the sides are made of cold foam. It offers a high level of lying comfort and offers your dog a comfortable base even on longer journeys.
The comfortable one: CopcoPet Travel Bed
With a size of 100 x 80, the CopcoPet Travel Bed offers a large lying surface. As a result, your dog does not feel restricted on the go and can find its optimal lying position.
The inner cushions and the side walls are made of cold foam covered with imitation leather. The cold foam adapts optimally to the body shape and offers a high level of comfort.
The surface is water- and dirt-repellent thanks to the artificial leather cover. This has the advantage that you can simply wipe them off with a cloth. In addition, the material does not absorb odors.
A long boarding aid is part of the trunk of the dog bed. It protects your car when you jump into the trunk and avoids scratches and dirt.
The flexible one: CopcoPet Two car dog bed
The CopcoPet Two car dog bed has a very thick faux leather cover. As a result, the dog bed for the trunk can withstand even greater loads.
The surface is water and dirt repellent. This prevents dirt and moisture from penetrating the mattress and you can easily clean the surface.
The side walls and the inner cushion are made of 5 cm thick cold foam. As a result, the mattress offers a high level of comfort, even for four-legged friends who are heavier.
The dog bed for the trunk has an extra wide entry aid. It runs the entire length of the dog bed, which also protects your vehicle from scratches and dirt over a larger area.
The all-rounder: Mayaadi Home Premium dog bed
The Mayaadi Home Premium dog bed is covered with high-quality imitation leather. The cover is dirt-repellent, which means that no dog hair gets stuck on it permanently.
The entire cover is also water-repellent. This makes it easier for you to clean it. Dirt can simply be wiped away with a little water and you can do without time-consuming cleaning with expensive cleaning agents.
Even the mattress can be removed to make the dog bed easier to clean.
The entry aid is made of long interlocking fibers. This makes it particularly robust. In addition, the surface is less slippery and makes it easier for your dog to get in and out, even when wet.
Due to the thickness, the surface is optimally protected against scratches.
The affordable one: Hobbydog R2 ROTCZA4 Royal Trunk
The Hobbydog R2 ROTCZA4 Royal Trunk dog bed is made from an oxford fabric. The fibrous material is very robust and can withstand even greater loads.
The side panels and the mattress are made of polyurethane foam. The extra thick cushions offer your dog maximum comfort. In addition, the side parts are stable and do not come apart under load.
The dog bed also has a removable insert. You can change this if necessary, for example if your dog prefers a different pad or needs a special orthopedic pad.
The removable cover is washable. This means that the dog bed can also be hygienically cleaned regularly.
The dog bed is visually appealing. This makes it not only suitable as a dog bed in the trunk, but can also be used in many ways, for example when travelling.
Purchase advice
Does a trunk dog bed need padded sides?
It is an advantage if the side parts are also padded and high. Although the dog cannot let its head hang over the sides, which many dogs like to do, your car is better protected from dirt and scratches with high side walls.
Padding on the sidewalls adds extra comfort or protection when you’re on the go. If you have to brake sharply, your dog will not slide against hard back parts, but the movement will be absorbed by the padding.
How big should the boarding aid for a dog bed for the trunk be?
The size of the boarding aid depends on the size of the dog. However, it is an advantage if the boarding aid is at least as wide as the dog bed.
Even smaller dog breeds that require a smaller trunk bed benefit from a wide entry aid that runs the length of the trunk.
There are no dangerous spots for the dog to slip off and your vehicle is better protected from scratches.
Conclusion
The Knuffelwuff Cargo dog box is a car boot dog bed that has an additional protective function thanks to the padded side walls, which is why it was my test winner.
The boarding aid offers your dog the opportunity to get into the vehicle safely, because it does not have to climb over the slippery bumper. In addition, your car is protected from scratches.
The surface is easy to clean and also waterproof. Even after a long walk in the rain followed by a ride in the car, your vehicle stays clean and dry.
