Gorilla Ballistic Fabrics: What makes us different?

The average dog bed uses cheap lightweight fabric, isn’t waterproof, uses single-stitch seam construction, and cushions flatten in less than a month. We are anything but average. Our beds are over-built, removing anything that doesn’t add value for our Dog bed Customers.
Durability is crucial for the daily use and abuse our dog beds go through every day. Wet and dirty dogs, digging, scratching and even chewing. Whether it’s a daily commute to and from work, an outdoor adventure, or just the everyday scratching and clawing before lying down, pups can be hard on beds. That’s why we engineered our proprietary fabrics specifically for a dog’s lifestyle. Our built-to-last promise is that is the only way we can we can guarantee the performance and quality our customers deserve.
 Dogs inspire everything we do here at Gorilla Dog Beds.  Every tough dog bed we make is real-world, tested, and tried in every imaginable scenario in our own homes. Ultimately, rejecting anything that doesn’t enhance or simplify your life. We provide American-made solutions. 
We tested all the durable fabrics that were available on the market to find the strongest.  We wanted something better; we knew we had to create our fabrics because nothing was available that could perform to our standards.  Our patented materials outperformed industry-leading fabrics and are always improving them further. All of our world’s toughest dog beds feature Tough Ripstop materials that we consider chew-proof and armored. We understand that chewers are going to chew and that no dog bed is chew-proof. Over the past 8 years, we’ve learned that with premium materials and meticulous American-made manufacturing, it is possible to build the best bed you can buy.  A bed that doesn’t compromise durability, comfort, and a bed that will last a lifetime.
Typical Ballistic material has a slick finish, heavy weave, and excellent strength, making it a popular choice for a lot of durable products today. Gorilla Dog beds’ fabrics take things a step further. We adapted our fabrics specifically for a dog’s lifestyle and have made them better and stronger. We engineered our fabric using heavier yarns and a proprietary weave. They feature rip-stop technology and treat both the backing and surface to enhance water repellency, strength, and abrasion and puncture resistance. Our fabric has been tested and proven to be the best.  Gorilla Dog Bed fabrics beat all standard brands for making pet products because we designed our fabric specifically for any dog’s lifestyle.
