Wittop Washable Dog Bed Mat Review — Small Crate Pad Tested

Intro

I'm The Pet Dude, and I test a lot of affordable pet gear so you don't have to. The Wittop Washable Dog Bed Plush Orthopedic Outdoor Crate Mat is pitched as a soft, reversible, machine-washable kennel pad that fits crates and cages and works indoors or out. It’s sold in sizes from XS through L, and the XS size (listed as 18" x 14" x 1.5" and 6.4 ounces) is positioned for extra-small and small pets.

I looked closely at the product listing details and owner feedback to see how the mat stacks up in real life: comfort, fit, washability, durability, and safety. Below I break down what the listing says, what owners highlighted, and who I think should consider this mat (and who should skip it).

What it is / first look

The Wittop dog bed mat is a thin rectangular kennel pad built around a foam fill with a plush cover. The listing calls out several headline features: a reversible, dual-purpose design for all seasons; a non-slip fit that works in crates and kennels; machine-washable materials; and a description of being "durable." It’s offered in multiple sizes (XS, S, M, L) and several colorways.

From the product specs: the XS size is listed at 18" long x 14" wide x 1.5" thick with an item weight of 6.4 ounces. Material and fill are both described as foam and plush. Care instructions in the listing are machine wash and spot clean. The manufacturer and brand are Wittop, and the product listing shows this style as available in a handful of color options.

What the listing promises

• Comfort: Exceptional comfort and cloud-like softness for restful sleep.
• Crate fit: Designed to fit into crates and kennels and to offer a non-slip fit.
• Reversible: Two-sided design for warm or cool sides depending on season.
• Care: Machine-washable and spot-cleanable materials.
• Sizes: XS through L to suit extra-small through larger small dogs.

In daily use

Owners' experiences in the internal notes paint a mixed but informative picture of how this mat performs day to day. Several people reported that the mat arrives compressed in packaging and needs about a day to fluff up — a useful heads-up if you expect immediate loft straight from the box. When it has the loft, multiple owners called the surface soft and pleasant for their dogs, and good enough as a car pad or outdoor mat on a deck.

Comfort and feel

When the mat is allowed to decompress it reads as a soft, plush pad rather than a thick pillow. The listing markets a 1.5" thickness, and the "plush" cover and foam fill do give it a cushioned, cozy feel — but several owners noted the mat is on the thin side compared with other crate pads they've bought. That thinness is a consistent theme: comfortable for short rests, not the same as a high-loft orthopedic bed.

Fit in crates, cars, and outdoors

The mat is explicitly described as crate- and kennel-friendly. In practice it’s been used successfully in crates, in cars, and outside on decks. One owner specifically noted it worked perfectly as an outdoor mat on a deck and another used it as a car pad. Because the product comes in multiple sizes (XS through L), you can pick a size meant for crates or carriers — the XS dimensions are 18" x 14" x 1.5".

Washing and maintenance

The listing states the mat is machine washable and can also be spot cleaned. At least one owner said they hadn’t washed it yet but expected it to hold up if the care instructions were followed. Because the mat is thin and lightweight (6.4 ounces for the XS), expect it to go through a normal wash and dry cycle easily, but the listing does not provide a specific wash temperature or dryer guidance — the listing simply lists "Machine Wash, Spot Clean" in care instructions.

Materials & build quality

The product spec fields list the material type and fill material as foam, with a plush cover. The listing’s bullet points describe a reversible design, durable construction, and a non-slip, secure fit for crates and kennels. The mat’s surface pattern is listed as "Stars" and the default color is Grey for the main listing.

From owner feedback there are two important build observations: first, the mat is thin compared with other pads and may offer less padding than buyers expect from the 1.5" thickness claim; second, one owner observed that the mat is not truly reversible in the sense of two different fabric faces — one side has rubber paw prints, which may be the non-slip surface rather than a plush alternate face.

How it’s put together

• Core: Foam fill (listing explicitly lists Fill Material: Foam).
• Cover: Plush material for the outer fabric (Cover Material: Plush; Frame Material: Plush Material).
• Shape and pattern: Rectangle shape with a stars pattern noted in the specs.
• Weight: The XS listed weight is 6.4 ounces.

The listing claims durability and a secure non-slip fit. That non-slip effect likely comes from texture or rubber paw-print detailing, since an owner noted rubber paw prints on one side. If you need heavy-duty, high-loft orthopedic support, the thin foam core here may not be sufficient; the listing describes it more as a mat or crate pad than a thick bolster bed.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority. There are a few signals in the data you must weigh before buying, especially if you have a chewer or an escape-risk dog.

Chewing and destruction risk

The listing does not claim chew-proof construction. Internal notes include multiple critical entries that specifically call out chewing problems: one owner said the dog was able to chew the cushion, another reported the mat was "definitely not chew proof" after only five days, and another bluntly called it "a total waste of money" because it was super thin. These reports are direct signals that the foam/plush construction here will not withstand determined chewers.

Choking / ingestible hazards

Because the mat uses foam fill and a plush cover, pieces could be torn free if a dog chews through the fabric. The listing does not provide any chew-proofing or anti-ingestible claims, so if your dog is a chewer or a mouthy puppy I would not consider this mat chew-safe based on the owner feedback in the internal notes.

Fit and escape risks

The mat is intended for crates and kennels and listed as having a non-slip fit, but one owner noted the mat wasn’t truly reversible and had rubber paw prints on one side. That rubberized surface could be the feature providing the non-slip grip, but the listing doesn’t specify the exact non-slip material. If you expect a mat to anchor a nervous dog in a wire crate who tries to dig or shift bedding, this thin pad may move more than a heavier, higher-loft bed.

Allergens and materials safety

The listing specifies foam and plush for material types. There are no ingredient lists, chemical safety claims, or certifications in the product facts, and no warranty is provided. If your pet has material sensitivities, the listing does not offer hypoallergenic claims — the safest route is to consult a qualified professional about fabric sensitivities, as the listing remains silent on those points.

Who this is for / who should skip

Breaking this down by size, use case, and behavior helps make the right call.

Best for: extra-small and small dogs, calm chewers, and travel

• Extra-small and small dogs: The XS dimensions are 18" x 14" x 1.5" and the listing explicitly recommends extra-small and small breeds. The thin foam core and plush cover make it a comfortable surface for small-breed naps in crates and carriers.
• Travel and car rides: Several owners used this as a lightweight car pad and found it appropriate as a thin cushion. Its low weight (6.4 ounces for the XS) and machine-washable tag make it easy to toss in the car or clean after a trip.
• Outdoor lounging (fair-weather): The listing lists outdoor use as a recommended use. One owner confirmed it worked well as a deck mat. If you want a quick, budget-friendly pad for sunny, clean porch time, this can work.

Who should skip this mat

• Power chewers and destructive dogs: Internal notes include multiple reports of chewing damage within days; do not buy this for chewers.
• Dogs needing thick orthopedic support: The mat is thin compared with thicker orthopedic beds. Although the listing claims 1.5" thickness, owners consistently report it feels thinner and less supportive than expected.
• Buyers expecting true reversibility: The listing calls this reversible, but owner feedback indicates one side may simply be a rubber-paw non-slip surface rather than a plush alternate face.

Use-case quick guide

• Crate/kennel pads for calm extra-small/small dogs — good fit.
• Temporary bed for travel, car trips, and outdoor lounging — budget-friendly option.
• Not recommended as a chew-proof solution, long-term orthopedic replacement, or for heavy, active dogs.

Verdict

Wittop's washable dog bed mat is honestly priced and does what a basic crate mat should: it gives small dogs a soft, low-profile surface for naps in crates, cars, and on the deck. The listing lists foam fill, a plush cover, machine-washable care, and sizes XS–L. In practice, the mat tends to be thinner than many buyers expect, and owner feedback flagged real chewing vulnerabilities and durability concerns.

If you want an inexpensive, lightweight pad for extra-small or small pets, short trips, or an outdoor perch on a deck, this is a reasonable budget choice. If you have a chewer, a dog needing true orthopedic support, or expect double-sided reversible fabric, look elsewhere.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Size: Confirm the size you need. XS dimensions are 18" x 14" x 1.5" (item weight 6.4 ounces). The product is available in S, M, and L as well.
• Chewing risk: If your dog chews, skip this mat — internal reports say it is not chew-proof and can be destroyed in days.
• Expect thin padding: The listing claims 1.5" thickness but owners report it feels thinner; it’s more of a mat than a high-loft bed.
• Care: Machine wash or spot clean per the product listing; the listing does not provide wash temperature or dryer guidance.
• Reversibility: The listing claims a reversible design, but owners report one side has rubber paw prints (non-slip), so it may not provide two plush faces.
• Warranty: The listing indicates no warranty is provided.

Colors available on the listing include Grey, 4 Pcs Mixed color, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Upgraded Version-Blue-Star, Upgraded Version-Green-Star, and Upgraded Version-Pink-Star. If color choice is important, pick the SKU carefully — several patterned "Upgraded Version" options are called out by name.

Final takeaway: For a lightweight, inexpensive crate/cargo pad for extra-small and small pets, the Wittop mat delivers soft surface and convenience (machine-washable, thin, reversible claim). For chewers or dogs who need firm, lasting orthopedic support, it’s not the right fit based on the build and owner feedback.
