Match the steps to your furniture
Measure from the floor to the top of your couch or bed cushion.
2 steps — up to 30 cm (sofas) · 3 steps — up to 35 cm (most beds) · 4 steps — up to 40 cm (tall beds)
Between sizes? Go taller — a shallower climb is always easier on joints.
The right size is set by the height of the couch or bed your dog climbs — more steps mean a gentler, lower-rise incline.
Small breeds up to 10kg — Cavaliers, Dachshunds, Pugs, Shih Tzus. Couch or low bed height.
Medium breeds 10–25kg — Staffies, Border Collies, Cocker Spaniels. Standard couch or bed height.
Large breeds 25–60kg — Labradors, Golden Retrievers. Taller beds, high couches, or vehicles.
Nervous dog? Pop a treat on each step for the first few days to build confidence.
For every pet who still thinks they're a puppy.
One night, Biscuit didn't jump up. She stood at the edge of the couch she'd claimed for twelve years, looked at her spot beside us, and quietly walked away.
The vet said early arthritis. Every ramp we tried was an eyesore, every stair wobbled — and Biscuit refused them all.
So we found the stairs we wished existed: soft, silent steps, a gentle curve made for old hips, a base that stays put. Three days later she climbed up on her own, curled into her spot — and hasn't asked for help since.
— The YippeePaws pack
Every step earns its place — built to protect ageing joints and to belong in a beautiful room.
High-density sponge cushions every landing, absorbing the shock their joints used to take.
The low-rise incline is shaped for short legs, long backs and old hips — a climb, never a leap.
A grippy non-slip base plants itself on hardwood, tile or carpet — no skating, no wobble.
The cover zips off and comes back fresh in a single machine cycle. Muddy paws welcome.
No squeak, no creak. Midnight missions to the couch won't wake anyone.
From tiny Chihuahuas to solid Staffies — stable and reassuring underfoot, every time.
Not all pet gear is made the same.

The stairs look so good against our cream sofa — guests always ask where we got them. Our old Cavalier climbs up like it's nothing now.
Finally something built for a long back. She was nervous the first day; a few treats on each step and she was obsessed by dinnertime.
Our vet suggested a ramp but this was the only stair option that didn't look like hospital equipment in our lounge.
Our rescue pup used to whine at the bed every night. Three days with these stairs and she's up on her own, tail going.
Sturdier than I expected for the price — zero wobble even with our chunky Staffy going up and down.
Didn't expect our cat to claim them too, but here we are. Soft, quiet, and actually matches our furniture.
I bought these because our senior cat has elbow arthritis and was limping after jumping down from the couch. My husband set them up in an afternoon — she uses them every single day now and hasn't limped since. Genuinely life-changing for her.
We bought two sets — a 2-step and a 4-step for our shih tzu. One arrived with a loose zip; support replaced it within days, no hassle. Both hold up well and our dog uses them without hesitation.
My mini dachshunds are just learning to use the steps and already prefer them to being lifted. Really happy with the colour and the size — they look intentional in our living room, not like pet equipment.
These are so much nicer in person — the fabric feels durable, not flimsy like the foam ones we tried before. Our old pug went from refusing the couch to napping on it every afternoon.
Our rescue used to pace and whine at the foot of the bed every single night — too anxious to jump, too proud to ask for a lift. First night with the steps she was up and asleep within minutes. I didn't expect to cry over a dog stair but here we are.
Our Staffy is not a small dog and I was fully expecting this to cave in within a month. Still completely solid, no sagging, no shifting. Genuinely surprised at the quality for the price.
Really happy with how sturdy it is and my dog took to it immediately. Only reason it's not five stars is I'd love a couple more colour options to match different rooms — grey is nice but a bit limited if you're buying more than one.
Mentioned to our vet that we'd started using stairs for our old boy's hips and she said it was exactly the kind of low-rise design she recommends. Nice to have that confirmed by someone qualified and not just a product description.
Will this work on a slippery tile floor?
Yes — the non-slip base is designed to grip hardwood, tile and carpet alike, so it stays put even on smooth floors.
Is the cover really machine washable?
Yes — it fully unzips. Cold wash, tumble dry low, and it's back on and ready to use within the hour.
