# Water-Resistant Dog Beds Molly Mutt's Outdoor Dog Beds Add Comfort and Style to Backyard Spaces By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-05-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-dog-beds References: [mollymutt](http://www.mollymutt.com/100-fireflies.html) In addition to making a range of [plush indoor dog beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-dog-bed), Molly Mutt also offers three outdoor dog beds in different sizes, all of which are water-resistant. The [boldly patterned cushions for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-bed) resemble some of the practical weather-resistant cushions that people often buy to enhance their own patio spaces with style and comfort. The 'dew in the grass' duvet pattern is also noted to have 500-hour sun protection. Although ordinary indoor pet beds can easily be taken outside, they are prone to getting dirty and wet. Because of their [water-resistant features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tug-e-nuff), these beds from Molly Mutt are better suited to withstand the elements and a good cleaning. In terms of care, the brand recommends washing the beds in cold water and hanging them to dry on a line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Water-resistant Dog Beds:** Developing water-resistant dog beds to withstand the elements and provide outdoor comfort for pets. - **Boldly Patterned Cushions:** Creating weather-resistant, stylish cushions for outdoor spaces that offer both comfort and design. - **500-hour Sun Protection:** Integrating high sun protection into outdoor dog bed designs for improved durability under the sun. ### Where This Applies - **Pet Care:** Providing innovative solutions in the pet care industry with water-resistant dog beds for outdoor spaces. - **Home Decor:** Expanding to the home decor industry with boldly patterned outdoor cushions that add style to patio spaces. - **Textiles:** Exploring opportunities in the textile industry by incorporating sun protection technology into outdoor pet products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor-Ready Durable Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillo.md) - [Modern High-Performance Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-bed1.md) - [Durable Minimalist Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-dog-bed.md) - [Comfortable Orthopedic Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orthopedic-pet-bed.md) - [Designer Dual-Sided Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyrmwood-doublesided-dog-bed.md) - [Cooling Orthopedic Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pupchill.md) - [Multi-Use Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-human-dog-bed.md) - [Customizable Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-dog-bed.md) - [Chic Woven Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-dog-bed.md)
