BINGPET Outdoor Travel Dog Bed Review — Portable Waterproof Mat

Intro

Hi — I’m The Pet Dude. I live for gear that makes time outside with dogs easier, and I’ve been using the BINGPET Outdoor Travel Dog Bed (XL) on trips, in the car, and around the yard so I can tell you what works and what doesn’t. The listing calls this an outdoor travel bed built from Oxford fabric with PP cotton fill, and owners I spoke to use it as a lightweight mat for camping, kennels, and car trips. In this review I’ll walk through the first impressions, how it performs day-to-day, build and materials, safety flags, and who should consider one — plus a checklist you should run through before you buy.

What it is / first look

On paper this is a foldable, portable dog bed sold by BINGPET that’s meant for outdoor use and travel. The XL size measures 35 x 51 x 1 inches and the product weight is listed as 1.11 kg (2.45 pounds). The listing lists the materials as Oxford Fabric/Cotton for the shell and PP Cotton for the fill, and it comes with a stuff sack and a hanging loop for carrying or hanging in a car. The listing notes it’s machine washable and marketed as waterproof, breathable, and durable.

What you get out of the box

• One foldable dog bed / mat (Model 003_DDDB01614iORG0XL)
• Included components listed as: Dog Bed (plus the carry bag as shown in images and owner notes)
• Colors available on the listing: Orange, Blue, Green, CamoL

I like that the product is explicitly described as a flat, rectangular mat — the listing calls it an "Item Form: Flat, Rectangular Mat." That’s important because it sets expectations: this is not a high-loft pillow or memory foam cot. The listed thickness is 1 inch, which lines up with how people describe it in real use: more of a padded blanket or mat than a cushy bed.

In daily use

I treated this like a travel accessory more than a replacement for an indoor couch bed. Owners consistently used it for camping, car rides, kennel pads, patios, and quick outdoor stops. Below I break down the typical use cases I tracked and what to expect.

Travel & car rides

The listing highlights portability and a foldable design with a hanging loop, and in real-life use people praised how it rolls and packs. It’s light enough (listed weight 1.11 kg / 2.45 lb) that it’s easy to toss into a trunk, and the included stuff sack is intended for storage. A recurring note: the bag’s shape is oddly long and cylindrical, so the mat doesn’t always fill it neatly — some owners preferred rolling the mat and securing it with a bungee through the hanging loop instead of forcing it into the bag.

Camping, patios, and outdoor events

The product is marketed for outdoor use and owners used it on wet grass, patios, and at events. People liked that hair doesn’t cling and that dirt wipes away or can be hosed off. The listing calls the fabric waterproof and breathable; some owners reported it functions well in light wet conditions, but also noted it behaves more like water-resistant in heavy wetting. For guarding against damp grass, muddy paws, and quick spills, it performs well as a designated spot to keep dogs off the ground.

Kennel & crate use

Because the mat is low-profile (1" listed thickness), it’s a popular choice for crate owners who need a thin pad that doesn’t take up kennel space. Several owners used the XL in large crates and found it fit well while still allowing dogs to stretch. The mat is thin enough that it won’t obstruct crate doors or change the crate’s internal clearance significantly.

At-home, quick naps

Indoors some owners used it as an extra lay spot in mudrooms or porches. The reversible design (paw-print side and low-key gray side, per the listing) gives two looks depending on whether you want the printed softer face or the dirt-resistant reverse. The fill is listed as PP Cotton which provides a light cushion; owners describe it as comfy for naps but not as plush as pillow beds.

Materials & build quality

Here’s the manufacturer’s materials callout, followed by what owners experienced with those materials.

Listed materials

• Shell: Oxford Fabric/Cotton (listing)
• Fill: PP Cotton (listing)
• Item shape & form: Rectangular mat, 35" x 51" x 1" (XL listing specs)

How that translates in real life

The Oxford fabric shell shows up as a durable-feeling outer layer — owners repeatedly called out that hair doesn’t stick, it resists scratches from nails, and it wipes clean. The fabric is stiff enough to stand up to outdoor use and the reversible aesthetic lets you flip between a paw-print side and a darker, dirt-resistant grey side (both are in the listing’s features). The PP Cotton fill gives a bit of loft but compresses under weight — owners describe the mat as more like a puffy blanket or a thin pad rather than a structured mattress with memory foam-style support.

One practical observation that kept coming up: the mat compresses down when a dog settles on it. That’s expected with PP Cotton and the listed 1" thickness. If you want significant orthopedic support or thick padding, this isn’t the product for that use — the listing doesn’t advertise memory foam or high-loft foam support.

On stitching and durability: most owners reported robust stitching and that the mat washes well. A small number of owners did say their dogs were able to tear the fabric in spots — an important caveat for chewers. Overall workmanship looks solid for a travel mat, but it’s not indestructible against persistent chewing or heavy-mouthed digging.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is always my first priority. Below are concrete safety notes pulled from the listing and owner feedback.

• Water exposure: The listing calls the fabric waterproof and breathable. Owners reported it handles light wetting and quick spills well and that stains clean up easily; however, some owners called it water-resistant rather than fully waterproof in heavier conditions. Don’t rely on it to keep a dog dry in prolonged heavy rain — the listing’s waterproof claim exists, but owner experiences show limits.
• Chewers & shredders: Multiple owner notes mention that the material resists claws and general wear, but at least one owner reported their dog tore parts of the mat. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, the product may not stand up to sustained chewing — the listing does not position it as chew-proof.
• Thickness & comfort: The mat is 1" thick per the listing and filled with PP Cotton. Owners consistently call it a mat or puffy blanket rather than a bed with deep padding. For older dogs with joint pain or dogs that need orthopedic support, the mat may not provide sufficient cushioning.
• Machine washing: The listing states the mat is machine washable and owner notes report it holds up to washings. That’s a safety and hygiene plus because regular washing helps reduce allergens and bacteria buildup.
• Small parts / choking hazards: The listing and owner notes do not indicate small detachable parts. The product is described as a flat mat with a hanging loop — if the loop or stitching comes loose due to damage, treat as a potential hazard. The listing does not specify any safety certifications.

Who this is for / who should skip

I always ask two questions: what job do you want the mat to do, and what kind of dog will use it? The listing gives clear usage guidance: it’s intended for outdoor and travel use, and the manufacturer lists breed recommendations as “All Breed Sizes” and dog breed size as Large, Medium, Small. Use the sizing table and the two available sizes (L: 26 x 43 in; XL: 35 x 51 in) to map to your dog.

Great for:

• Owners who need a packable, lightweight mat for camping, tailgates, patios, or car travel — people praised portability and how it rolls up.
• Families wanting a washable surface that resists hair and wipes clean easily — listing says machine washable and owner reports say it washes well.
• Crate owners who want a thin, low-profile pad that won’t eat space in large kennels or obstruct doors — the 1" thickness helps here.
• Dogs who prefer a cool, low-profile resting surface — several owners noted a cooling effect when used on decks or in crates.

Skip this if:

• You need orthopedic support or thick cushioning — the mat is thin (1" listed thickness) and filled with PP Cotton, not memory foam.
• Your dog is an aggressive chewer — there are reports of dogs tearing the fabric in spots.
• You expect a structured bed that won’t compress under body weight — owners say it compresses and behaves more like a puffy blanket.

Verdict

Short version: the BINGPET Outdoor Travel Dog Bed is a well-made, lightweight, machine-washable travel mat built from Oxford fabric with PP Cotton fill. It does exactly what the listing sells it as — a portable, reversible mat for outdoor and travel use — and owners repeatedly praise the fabric’s durability, how hair doesn’t stick, and the convenience of washing. If you need a compact, easy-to-clean surface that keeps dogs off wet grass or car seats, it’s a strong pick.

The tradeoffs are clear and consistent in owner feedback: it’s thin (1" thickness) and compresses under weight, so it won’t replace a plush indoor bed or an orthopedic mattress. A handful of buyers had dogs puncture or tear the fabric in places, so aggressive chewers should avoid it. The included stuff sack is useful but many owners find its shape odd and prefer rolling and securing the mat themselves using the hanging loop.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the size: XL is listed at 35" x 51" x 1"; L is listed as 26" x 43". Measure your crate, car, or the spot you want to use it so you choose the right size.
• Know the thickness: listed as 1" with PP Cotton fill — expect a thin, mat-like feel rather than thick cushioning.
• Expect a reversible look: paw-print side and a dirt-resistant gray reverse per the listing.
• Machine washable per the listing; owners report it holds up to washings. Plan to wash occasionally if used outdoors.
• Consider your dog’s chewing habits — some owners reported tearing in places; the listing does not position the mat as chew-proof.
• Test the bag: the included carry bag is long and cylindrical per owner notes; if compact packing is critical, plan to roll and secure externally or accept the oversized bag.
• Confirm color: available colors listed are Orange, Blue, Green, and CamoL. Pick the color you want from the listing.

Overall, for travel, car, kennel, and quick outdoor use, this mat does the job. If you expect thick padding or chew-proof construction, look elsewhere. For light-to-moderate use, easy cleaning, and portability in a packable package, it’s a practical option.

If you want an outdoor mat that’s easy to throw in the trunk and hose off, this one is worth a look. If you want deep-support sleeping or something for a persistent chewer, it’s not the right tool for that job.
