You can help pets safely climb on and off your bed with the PetSafe CozyUp Bed Ramp. The wooden ramp is extremely durable and can support pets up to 120 lbs., but it takes up quite a bit of space at 70 inches long and 25 inches tall. The bed ramp has a ribbed carpet surface to give your pets secure footing, and there’s a “landing area” at the top to ensure they’re comfortable and confident while climbing on and off the bed.

“This product takes a pretty handy person to set it up, and if you’re not so technically inclined, it will likely be a 45–60 minute process,” notes one reviewer. “That said, this ramp is AWESOME! Beware that it is very long. It runs the whole length of my queen-sized bed, but compared to other ramps, this is why it’s so effective.”

Some pets might have trouble climbing steep ramps, and that’s where the Pet Gear Easy Pet Step comes in handy. The ramp is 10 inches tall with an incredibly gentle slope, giving pets a boost onto low surfaces. It can support up to 175 lbs. It has a carpeted surface for improved traction, as well as rubber grips to keep it in place.

“Got this for my beagle who is getting a little older and struggling with the bed/couch on and off,” explains one pet parent. “As you can see in the product photos, for a standard couch (and our bed), there’s still a little ‘jump’ to the top, which is just a short step for her medium legs.”
