Barca Velvet Daybed

The Barca Velvet Daybed uses moulded polyurethane foam panels instead of conventional stuffed bolsters. Four interlocking sections click together without tools, creating a frame that holds its shape through years of circling, digging, and settling. The raised edges stay upright.
Danish designer Hans Thyge drew the silhouette from inflatable boats, hence the name. The curves have purpose beyond aesthetics: they follow a dog's natural resting posture, providing support for head and neck without forcing position.
Inside sits a memory foam mattress that responds to body heat and weight. The 60/40 cotton-polyester blend cover washes at 30°C. The outer panels use closed-cell foam treated for water resistance, which means accidents and drool wipe away rather than soak in.
MiaCara manufactures the bed in Germany. The knitted Trevira CS fabric is inherently flame-retardant and resists pilling longer than most upholstery textiles, though heavy use will eventually create some surface texture.
One note on sizing: the inner dimensions matter more than the outer. A Labrador needs the M/L, which offers 78 x 58cm of sleeping surface. Smaller breeds do well in the S/M.
Both cover and mattress are fully removable for cleaning. The foam itself is hypoallergenic.
