Dog beds for Yorkshire Terriers
Inner space 25×25 cm — the Yorkie presses against the bolster and loves warmth
XS 50×45 cm (inner 25×25) if your Yorkie sleeps curled — as nearly all do: a compact berth keeps warmth better. S 65×50 cm (inner 40×30) only if the dog genuinely sleeps stretched out. Bigger is not better here — empty space around a 2–3 kg dog doesn't keep it warm.

Measurement tolerance ±2–3 cm. Torn between two sizes — take the bigger one: in a tight bed the dog sleeps curled up with its paws hanging over the bolster.
What to look at when choosing a bed
For a Yorkie of 2–3.5 kg we recommend size XS — inner space 25×25 cm, sized exactly for a dog that sleeps curled up. A Yorkie looks for warmth and security in a bed, not floor area, so you measure for the curled-up pose, not "room to grow".
With tiny breeds the mistake is the reverse of large ones: people take a "symbolically bigger" S or M — and the Yorkie huddles in a corner, because empty space around a 2 kg dog doesn't keep it warm. We see it in the orders regularly. Take the S (space 40×30 cm) only if the dog genuinely sleeps stretched out.
A Yorkie's bed gets washed more often than a big dog's — this dog lives on beds and laps. Our fabrics are upholstery-grade, like sofas: the colour survives dozens of 30°C washes, and a Yorkie's fine hair doesn't weave into the pile. SOFT velour is the warmest — the most common pick for Yorkies.
On the small sizes we kept the bolster lower than on the large ones: easy for a Yorkie to step over, comfortable to lean its back against. The first thing to wear out is the cover — small dogs dig their "nest" too. The cover is removable on a zipper, and a spare can be ordered separately.
FAQ
What bed size for a Yorkshire Terrier?
For an adult Yorkie of 2–3.5 kg we recommend XS: outer 50×45 cm, inner space 25×25 cm. If you like a margin, S works (65×50 cm).
Why does a Yorkie need a small cosy format?
A tiny dog in a too-big bed feels uneasy and exposed. A compact XS with a bolster gives the sense of a protected den that Yorkies love.
Which fabric is best for a Yorkie?
Soft warm SOFT or TOUCH velour — Yorkies get cold and love to press in. The cover comes off on a zipper and machine-washes.
Buy a Yorkie puppy's bed with room to grow?
A Yorkie stays small as an adult — XS suits both a puppy and an adult. The removable cover survives all washes.
