As I type, my pup is next to my desk, dead to the world in her doggie bed. The need to earn a paycheck aside, if I could join her, I absolutely would. And sure, I could scrunch up around her, but my head and legs would likely be hanging uncomfortably off the sides of her bed.
Enter a product that could only have been invented in the 21st century. Sure, it's not for everyone — you need a lot of space to accommodate something this massive. But if you adore snuggling with your dog (guilty!), live with someone who won't let a pet in the "human" bed (ahem, hello, husband ), or just want a new spot to nap, then this admittedly unnecessary indulgence is for you (and your sweet, loyal pup!).

If you want an option that comes with its own bedding, this soft faux-fur pick includes a pillow and blanket. Other features? Side pockets and a handle, and the cover is removable and can easily be thrown in the wash. It comes in a couple of shades of gray, but we love that you can also snag it in pink.
"My whole family loves it!" said one psyched shopper . "It's a bit heavier than I expected, but very durable and well-made—and most importantly, it's very comfortable ... we've washed it several times, and it still fits perfectly. Now it's one of my daughter's favorite things!"
Worried it might not be big enough for you and your pup? "My dog weighs 110 pounds ... there's plenty of room for both of us to sleep in it," said another cuddly canine lover .
This people-sized dog bed has been featured on 'Shark Tank' and 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.' It's named after the sound your pooch makes when it sneezes... we assume. One shopper who saw the bed on 'Shark Tank' decided to take the plunge and splurge on it after trying out cheaper alternatives that didn't quite match up.
"The difference between the knockoff and real deal was astonishing," they wrote , adding: "The product is as comfy as advertised and easy to assemble/disassemble for weekly washing ... memory foam padding isn't something to cheap out on — the neck support has made all the difference when lounging."
From the company that makes some of Yahoo's editors' favorite bedding comes this 71-inch bed. This beauty includes a waterproof liner, side handles for easy transport and pockets for stashing whatever makes you or your furball more comfortable. What we really love about this option, though, is that when you don't want to snuggle in it with your dog, you can fold it up into a more reasonable size that only Fido can use.
One shopper bought it as a joke, only to find out it was seriously snooze-worthy. "This bed is wonderful. It is so comfy and big. I jokingly got in it with my 70-pound pitbull. The next thing I knew, both of us were asleep. She loves this bed. I like that it folds in half. It is definitely worth the money."

This fluffy number has a hidden pocket for your phone, a book, TV remote or a secret stash of treats — for you or the pup. This is also one of the roomiest, according to shoppers. One Amazon reviewer who bought this bed for her dog-loving son's 11th birthday said it "fits multiple children and dogs at once."
Here's another foldable option that features a bolster that frames the entire bed for optimal snugness. At 68 inches long, it's slightly smaller than others on this list if size is a concern. It can be converted into three configurations — in fact, multiple shoppers note that they use it in ways that don't even involve a pet.
"Bought these for my grandchildren to sleep in for nap time and overnight stays," wrote one five-star fan . "Because they fold up into a chair when not in use, they do not take up precious space in my guest room. Portable and very squishy soft! Highly recommend!"
