Spare Covers: Dry Wax Cotton For Day Bed Mattress & Travel Pads (Tough & Water-Resistant)
New for A/W 2026: Spare Covers in tough, water-resistant Dry Wax Cotton Canvas for the Rectangular Day Bed Mattresses & Travel Pads.
Spare covers are brilliant to have on hand for wash days and a spare cover in our tough, water-resistant Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is fabulous if you want to convert an existing Charley Chau mattress into a more rugged style of dog bed - particularly great for use in boot rooms, the back of a car and in the garden on days when your dog is lounging around enjoying the warm weather outside. Please note though that Charley Chau beds are not designed for permanent outdoor use.
Dry Wax Cotton Canvas has the look of a traditional waxed cotton and "wears in" over time, taking on the patina of every day use to develop a weathered "live in" look. Unlike traditional waxed cotton however, Dry Wax Canvas is dry to touch and is machine washable. A great choice for muddy dogs who demand a lot from their dog bed.
Spare Covers in Dry Wax Cotton Canvas are part of our new Utility Collection of High Performance Dog Beds and the rectangular mattress covers fit Charley Chau deep-filled mattresses and travel pads in Medium Plus and Large sizes. If you require a Small or Medium size please contact us.

Dry Wax Cotton Canvas Frequently Asked Questions
Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is highly water-resistant, it repels everyday wet, muddy paws, splashes and light rain, and wipes clean in seconds. For prolonged exposure to very heavy rain or submersion in water, it isn't designed to be fully watertight. This is a genuinely tough, practical fabric for dogs who love to get mucky.
Yes. Unlike most waterproof fabrics and waterproof dog beds that rely on a physical coating to deliver waterproofing, our Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is fully machine washable. The fabric can be wiped clean or the covers removed and machine washed on a 30 degree wash cycle.
For everyday mess, simply wipe the water-resistant canvas clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, remove the cover and machine wash on a 30 degree wash and dry naturally.
Not quite. Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is a high-tech evolution of traditional waxed cotton (the fabric made famous by the iconic Barbour jacket). Like traditoinal waxed cotton, Dry Wax Cotton softens over time and takes on the marks of every day use so it starts to look and feel like a familiar old friend, but unlike classic waxed cotton, Dry Wax Cotton is dry to touch, machine washable, and doesn't require re-waxing.
Yes. Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is part of Charley Chau's Utility Collection, purpose-built as a tough dog bed range for dogs who get mucky — whether from muddy walks, working in the field, or general everyday chaos.
It's best suited to indoor use, boot rooms, utility rooms, porches, or covered outdoor areas — the water-resistant canvas handles damp paws and everyday spills brilliantly, but it isn't intended for permanent outdoor exposure to the elements.
Yes, our anti-micorbial waterproof bed liners can ben added as an additional barrier to the Dry Wax Cotton Canvas dog beds but the Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is highly water-resistant and it's unlikely that you will need the extra waterproofing protection other than in exceptional circumstances.
