POCBLUE 35-Inch Washable Large Dog Crate Mat Review

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

If you are comparing pocblue bed mats, this review covers one of them: the POCBLUE deluxe washable crate mat, 35 by 23 inches and 3.5 inches thick. The listing gives a maximum weight of 65 pounds, but its title says 60, so the weight answer depends on which figure you use.

Check the size against your crate’s inside floor and your dog’s measurements before you order. The crate sizing sources we opened make the same point: the size should follow the dog’s measurements, not its weight or breed alone.

Quick answer

• Who it suits: a dog that rests in a crate or on the floor, within the listed weight, and an owner who wants a machine-washable mat.
• Fit: the mat is 35 inches long. In a 36-inch crate it leaves half an inch at each end.
• Weight: the spec table says 65 pounds and the title says 60 pounds. Use the lower figure until the seller clears it up.
• Chew wording: the listing says “Chew Resistant.” That is the seller’s term, and no source we opened calls any bed chew-proof.

What the listing states

The table uses only what the listing data says. The listing data was collected on 2026-10-12, and the fallback page we opened on 2026-10-21 did not show the full specifications.

Item	What the listing says	Note
Size	35 x 23 x 3.5 inches	Spec table
Maximum weight	65 pounds	Spec table and bullets; the title says 60
Fill	Polyester fiber	Spec table; the bullets say down-alternative fiber
Top cover	Velvet	Cover material field
Sides	Oxford fabric	Bullets
Bottom	Non-slip; four fixed straps at the corners	Bullets; waterproofing after washing is not stated
Care	Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, wash separately, do not bleach, tumble dry low, reshape, hang to dry	The label names both tumble drying and hanging
Special features	Chew Resistant, Machine Washable, Non Skid Bottom	Seller’s wording
Breed size	Small (one field); Large (breed recommendation field and title)	The fields disagree
Target species	Boxer, English Bulldog	As listed

The table shows two places where the listing disagrees with itself: the weight figure and the breed size. Read the size of the mat as the most reliable figure, because it is the measurement a crate can be checked against.

Fit arithmetic: measure the dog and the crate

The AKC’s crate guide tells owners to “measure them from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet to determine height,” and to “measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail to determine length.” It then says to “Add 3 to 4 inches to each measurement to compute the height and length of the dog crate you’ll need.” Those three steps give the crate size. The mat then has to fit inside it.

Three checks follow from the mat’s listed size. These are our calculations, not rules from the sources.

• Length margin: (crate inside length minus 35) divided by 2 gives the space at each end. In a 36-inch crate, (36 minus 35) divided by 2 is 0.5 inches.
• Height: standing height plus 3 to 4 inches (the AKC allowance), plus the mat’s 3.5 inches. A dog that stands 20 inches tall needs about 26.5 to 27.5 inches of interior height with this mat.
• Floor area: 35 times 23 is 805 square inches, or about 5.6 square feet.

The PetMD crate guide adds two points that bear on the height check. It says “When they sit in the crate, there should be at least 2 inches of clearance above their head,” and it says “crate mats and dog beds will take up additional space.” Add the mat’s thickness to any clearance you plan for, and do not treat the crate’s listed height as free space.

Weight: what to trust

The listing gives two weight figures. The spec table says 65 pounds, and the bullets repeat 65 pounds. The title says 60 pounds. The gap is 5 pounds (65 minus 60), which is 8.3 percent of 60 (5 divided by 60). A dog that weighs 60 pounds is at the title figure and 5 pounds under the spec figure.

PetMD adds a caution that applies to any weight figure. It says “Weight and breed recommendations give us an estimate, but each dog is an individual.” Treat the weight figure as a guide, and check the size first.

Washing and the chew wording

The care instructions are the clearest part of the listing. They say to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, wash the mat separately, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. The same field also says “For best results, hang to dry.” Both appear in the listing, so follow the label on the mat you receive.

The listing’s special features include “Chew Resistant.” That is seller’s wording, and it is not a standard we could check. The sources we opened do not describe any dog bed as chew-proof. The ASPCA’s position statement says “Excessively small products or products that fragment should not be offered as pet toys to any dog,” which is a general standard for chew products, not a rating for this mat. Our advice is to supervise any dog that chews its bedding, and to remove the mat if the cover or fill comes out.

Crate bedding: what the sources say

The PetMD crate guide says “Make sure to account for the type of bedding you plan to use when taking your pet’s measurements and purchasing a crate.” That advice applies here. Measure with the mat in place, or add its thickness to your measurement, before you choose a crate size.

The AKC guide says the crate should give room to sit, stand, and lie down, and it says “While you want a roomy crate, you don’t want one that’s too large.” A mat that is too thick can take that room away, while a crate that is too large can encourage a dog to eliminate within the crate, because it can sit away from the mess. Both sources point the same way: measure the dog, then fit the bedding inside the crate, rather than buying the largest crate.

A measuring routine before you buy

Use this order. The first three steps come from the AKC and PetMD sources. The rest is our arithmetic, and we say so where it applies.

1. Measure your dog standing, from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, for height (AKC).
2. Measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, for length (AKC).
3. Decide which bedding you will use. PetMD says to “account for the type of bedding you plan to use when taking your pet’s measurements and purchasing a crate.”
4. Add 3 to 4 inches to each dog measurement, which is the AKC allowance for the crate size.
5. Measure the crate’s inside floor and inside height with a tape. The outside frame is not the space the mat has to fit.
6. Subtract the mat’s 35 by 23 inches from the inside floor, and its 3.5 inch thickness from the inside height, then check the difference against the clearance figures above.

If you are buying a crate for a puppy that will grow, PetMD notes that for crates without a removable divider, “you can use bedding/pillows to block off space in the back of the crate.” That reduces the space the mat has to fill, but it also changes the fit, so measure again after you do it.

Product pick

Mistakes to avoid

• Measuring the crate from the outside. The mat has to fit inside the crate, so measure the inside floor and the inside height.
• Ignoring the thickness. PetMD says mats and beds take up extra space, and this mat is 3.5 inches thick.
• Choosing by weight alone. PetMD says weight is only an estimate, and this listing gives two weight figures.
• Treating “chew resistant” as a promise. It is the seller’s wording, and the sources we opened do not support a chew-proof claim for any bed.

How we chose

We started from the product named in the title and the keyword “pocblue bed mats.” The research file for that keyword held 12 listings. One of them, the POCBLUE Deluxe Washable Dog Bed (ASIN B0C4T4LCWM), is the product this review covers. The other 11 were other brands or other product types, including a feeding mat, a round bed and several other large and extra-large beds, so they are not reviewed here.

The listing data was collected on 2026-10-12. We opened the crate sizing sources on 2026-10-21, and the wording in this post comes only from text we could find on those pages. We did not open a manufacturer page for POCBLUE for this review.

What we could not verify

• Which weight figure is correct, 60 pounds or 65 pounds. The listing does not settle it.
• Whether the mat is breed-sized for small or large dogs. The listing fields disagree.
• How the fiber fill holds its shape over repeated washing. The listing says “reshape as needed,” but it gives no evidence or time frame.
• Whether the bottom stays waterproof after washing. The bullets say non-slip and waterproof, and the listing does not say how that holds up.
• Whether the mat is orthopedic. The listing does not use that word, and it gives no foam density, because the fill is fiber.
• Whether the mat resists chewing. The listing uses the phrase “Chew Resistant,” and we did not find a source that supports it for this product.

Frequently asked questions

Does the POCBLUE mat fit a 36-inch crate?

It fits with half an inch at each end. Measure the crate’s inside floor, because the listing gives only the mat’s size. Remember the mat’s 3.5 inch thickness when you check the crate’s height.

What weight can it take?

The spec table and bullets say 65 pounds, and the title says 60 pounds. Until the seller clarifies, use 60 pounds as the safer figure. PetMD says weight recommendations are an estimate.

Can I machine wash it?

The care instructions say yes: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, wash separately, do not bleach, and tumble dry low.

Is it orthopedic?

The listing does not call it orthopedic. It describes a polyester fiber fill and a thickness of 3.5 inches, and it gives no foam density. We do not describe it as a support bed.

Is it chew-proof?

No. The listing says “Chew Resistant,” which is the seller’s phrase. The sources we opened do not describe any dog bed as chew-proof, so supervise a dog that chews its bedding.

Bottom line

The POCBLUE mat is a washable, 35 by 23 inch crate mat for a dog within the listed weight. Measure your crate’s inside floor and the dog’s height first, read the 60 and 65 pound figures as unresolved, and treat “chew resistant” as the seller’s claim.
