We’ve had a very hot summer, so I thought I’d try these cooling mats for our black lab. He lays on them frequently, so I would say they have been successful in keeping him more comfortable! Thank you.

Will my dog actually use the mat?
That’s the question we hear most. But on hot days, dogs naturally seek out cooler spots—tile floors, basement steps, the area by the patio door, or a shady corner of the yard.
Freya turns that instinct into a soft, comfortable resting spot that feels noticeably cooler than regular fabric.
The best tip: place the mat wherever your dog already likes to relax. Don’t force them onto it or keep moving it around. Just let them discover it on their own.
Most dogs don’t need time to adjust they just need the mat in the right spot.
How does Freya stay cool without gel, electricity, or refrigeration?
The secret is Freya’s specially designed ice-silk cooling surface. Its cool-touch fibers quickly absorb heat on contact and help move it away from your dog’s body. That’s why Freya starts feeling noticeably cooler than regular fabric within just a few minutes.
The quilted surface keeps your dog’s fur slightly raised, allowing more air to circulate. At the same time, the breathable middle layer spreads absorbed heat across the mat instead of trapping it underneath your dog.
The result is a resting surface that feels up to 5–7°F cooler—with no gel, water, electricity, or refrigeration needed.
And because there’s no liquid inside, there’s nothing to leak if the mat gets scratched or lightly damaged.
How long does the cooling effect last?
Freya’s breathable design continuously helps release heat across the surface and into the surrounding air. Like any cooling fabric, the mat will gradually warm up if your dog stays in the exact same spot for a long time.
Once your dog gets up or changes positions, more air reaches the surface. This allows trapped heat to escape, so the mat starts feeling comfortably cool again within just a few minutes.
There’s no need to plug it in, add water, or put it in the refrigerator.
Why is Freya 2-for-1 this summer?
Because most dogs don’t have just one favorite spot.
One minute they’re relaxing in the living room, the next they’re by the patio door, out in the yard, or riding in the car. With only one cooling mat, it always seems to be in the wrong place when you need it most.
That’s why our summer special gives you Buy 1, Get 1 Free:
Keep one in your dog’s favorite spot at home
Use the second in the car, yard, or on the go
Always have a clean backup while the other is being washed
Simply choose your size and mix and match your favorite colors.
Two cool places to relax. One order. No carrying the same mat
from room to room.
Because on the hottest days, your dog should be able to relax wherever they feel most comfortable.
Keeping Dogs Cool Isn’t a Luxury Anymore
Many dog owners don’t think about extra cooling until temperatures hit 86°F. But for many dogs, 77°F can already feel too warm.
Unlike us, dogs can’t regulate their body temperature by sweating. They release most of their body heat through panting and on increasingly hot summer days, that can quickly reach its limits.
Freya gives your dog a soft, noticeably cooler place to relax.
Resting surface feels up to 5–7°F cooler

Three Breathable Layers
Freya doesn’t rely on gel, electricity, or refrigeration. Its three-layer design helps absorb, spread, and release heat instead of trapping it underneath your dog.
1. Cool-Touch Ice-Silk Surface
The smooth cool-touch fibers feel refreshing on contact and help move body heat away faster than ordinary fabric.
2. Breathable Airflow Layer
The quilted construction creates small air pockets that improve airflow and spread absorbed heat across the mat—so it doesn’t build up directly beneath your dog.
3. Non-Slip Bottom
The grippy underside helps keep Freya securely in place on tile, hardwood, laminate, in the car, or out on the patio.
The result: a soft resting surface that feels up to 5–7°F cooler than regular fabric.
Up to 7°F Cooler in Just Minutes
In a side-by-side test under the same conditions, Freya’s cooling surface measured 6.7°F cooler than a standard resting surface.
Standard surface: 81.2°F
Freya cooling surface: 74.5°F
Measured difference: 6.7°F
No gel. No electricity. No refrigeration.
*Surface temperatures measured under defined test conditions. Results may vary depending on room temperature, flooring, airflow, and length of use. This refers to the resting surface—not your dog’s body temperature.

Gel-Free. Nothing to Leak.
Traditional cooling mats are often filled with gel or liquid beneath a thin plastic surface. If your dog scratches, chews, or damages the mat, the filling can leak out—and the entire mat may need to be thrown away.
Freya cools through its ice-silk surface and breathable three-layer design. There’s no gel, water, or cooling liquid hidden inside.
No liquid filling inside
Soft, comfortable fabric surface
Fully machine washable

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Freya Dog Cooling Mat.
Does Freya need to be refrigerated first?
No. Freya’s cool-touch surface feels refreshing on contact and helps move heat away through its breathable fabric layers.
How long does the cooling effect last?
Like any cooling fabric, the surface will gradually warm up if your dog stays in the same position for a long time.
Once your dog gets up or moves to a different spot, more air reaches the surface and helps release the stored heat. After a few minutes, the mat begins to feel comfortably cool again.
Can I wash Freya in the washing machine?
Yes. Shake off or brush away loose hair first, then machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle.
Let the mat air dry afterward. Avoid the dryer and high heat to help protect its shape and cool-touch surface.
Can I choose two different sizes with the Buy 1, Get 1 Free offer?
Both mats will come in the same selected size.
You can mix and match the colors, so each mat can still have a different look.
Is Freya suitable for dogs that like to chew?
Freya contains no gel or liquid that could leak out. However, it is not designed to be used as a chew toy.
Dogs that regularly chew or destroy blankets and beds should only use the mat under supervision.
Can Freya prevent overheating or heatstroke?
No. Freya provides a cooler, more comfortable resting surface, but it does not replace fresh water, shade, proper airflow, or protection from extreme heat.
It is designed as an extra comfort measure for warm days—not as a medical or heat-safety product.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 113 reviews.
The mat stays right beside our couch and our Golden Retriever uses it every day. He can stretch out completely and looks very relaxed on it.
Our Golden Retriever can stretch all the way out on the large mat. We like the blue color, and it is now used every day next to the couch.
Our two Labs actually share the large blue mat willingly. Choosing the biggest size was definitely the right call for us.
Our Border Collie stays on the gray mat for a long time on the shaded patio. After yard time, we can shake it out and wash it when needed.
We put the pink mat on the bed in the morning, and our dachshund curls up on it right away. It is soft, light, and easy to fold back up.
Our senior Golden Retriever loves the blue mat by the patio door. It is more comfortable than hard tile but not as warm as his thick bed.
Our Aussie fits completely on the large gray mat and can stretch out comfortably. With his thick coat, it gets used constantly in summer.
The pink mat is ideal for our travel trailer because it is light and takes up almost no room. Our small terrier accepted it as his spot right away.
We use this one as a second cool spot by the patio door. Our dachshund took to it right away, and it is easy to move when we need the space.
The gray mat stays right by the patio door and gets used every day. Our dachshund fits comfortably and even rests her head on it now.
Our Border Collie loves using it in the yard. Next time I would probably size up so his fluffy tail fits on the mat too.
The gray mat has become our Border Collie's regular spot on the shaded patio. He rests his head down and stays calm there for a long time.
Our Frenchie sleeps deeply on the blue mat. After a walk, he goes straight to it and stays there much longer than before.
Our curly-coated pup accepted the gray mat right away and enjoys lying on it. I would personally like it a bit thicker, but it works very well as a cooler top layer.
The small blue mat fits perfectly across the back seat. Our dachshund settles on it right away during drives, and we can shake it out or wash it at home.
We placed the mat by the patio door because that is his favorite spot. He now stays relaxed there much longer instead of moving between the floor and his bed.
The second I put the gray mat in his spot, our little Frenchie fell asleep. He now seeks it out on warm days without any prompting.
Our little girl laid down on the pink mat right away. The size is perfect, and she uses it every afternoon when the living room starts warming up.
The dogs love them!!
It was way smaller than I thought it would be and very cheap material.
The mats are indeed cooling my lovely puppies down when it is hot. Unfortunately, they tend to slide around on our laminate floors and the dogs will use it but it bunches up while sliding around.
Much thinner than I expected.
My dog wanted to chew it up first thing. I put it away and will let him have it when he is more mature.
Seems like an excellent mat but my puppy wants to chew it up. I put it away before he did any harm and will bring it out when he gets a little older and more settled down. If I can just get him to lie quietly on the mat and enjoy cooling off I am sure he will love it.
Our girl laid down on it as soon as I unpacked it. The Freya mat has been in her favorite living room spot every afternoon since.
This has been really nice for our senior dog during the summer. He gets up less often and goes back to the mat on his own.
We keep the second mat in the car full time. It saves us from carrying the same blanket back and forth every day.
I specifically wanted something that could not leak. Freya feels pleasantly cool, and I worry a lot less about claws than I did with a gel mat.
I washed it on a cold gentle cycle and it came out looking the same. With all the dog hair in our house, that is a big win.
Our dog was unsure about it on day one. By the next morning he was stretched out across the whole mat.
It is not ice cold, just noticeably cooler than his regular bed. That seems to be exactly what our dog prefers.
The blue mat stays under my desk. Our dog relaxes there even on warm workdays, and I can fold it away quickly in the evening.
We keep one on the patio and one inside. Both get used regularly whenever the weather warms up.
Our thick-coated dog gets hot fast. He looks much more settled on this mat and is not constantly moving from spot to spot.
It folds down small and fit easily in our luggage. At the rental house, it immediately became her favorite place to sleep again.
Finally a cooling mat that does not look like a piece of plastic. The color works in our living room and the fabric feels well made.
There was no strong plastic smell when we opened it. Our dog probably accepted it so quickly because of that.
We sized up to be safe and I am glad we did. Our dog can fully stretch out without hanging off the edges.
We place the Freya mat on top of his regular dog bed. He still gets the softness he likes with a cooler surface on top.
