Product description
Every jump down off the sofa lands on the one part of her you can’t replace. The Henley Doxie Stairs put four soft, deep steps where that drop used to be — so she keeps her spot beside you, and walks down instead of launching.
Built for dachshunds and other long-backed, short-legged breeds, for small dogs who simply can’t reach, and for senior, recovering or post-surgery dogs whose vet has said no more jumping. Four deep, cushioned foam steps up to the couch, the bed, or her favourite window seat.
Made for the dogs who need it most
- Room for a long body: 15.7 in. wide with a generous 27.6 in. of four-step climb — deep, roomy treads that give short-legged dogs space to place all four paws and climb with confidence.
- Premium high-density support foam: Firm enough to stay stable under every step, soft enough to be kind to sensitive paws — it holds its shape and will not sag or flatten over time.
- Non-slip corduroy cover: A grippy, textured surface keeps little paws sure-footed on the way up and, more importantly, on the way down — and the whole cover zips off to machine-wash clean.
- High-grade materials, through and through: Every component is made to last — the high-density rebound-foam core, the durable corduroy cover, and the non-slip base are all high-grade, with no cheap fillers and no shortcuts.
- Furniture that fits your home: Four warm, neutral tones — Taupe, Navy, Pink, and Black — chosen to sit quietly beside your sofa or bed instead of clashing with it.
The details
- Dimensions: 27.6 in. L x 15.7 in. W x 19.7 in. H — 4 steps
- Best for: dachshunds and long-backed breeds, small dogs, puppies, and senior or recovering dogs
- Materials: high-grade throughout — premium high-density rebound foam, a removable machine-washable corduroy cover, and a non-slip base
- Placement: couch, bed, window seats, and other indoor perches
A note on delivery: Your stairs arrive vacuum-packed so shipping stays gentle on the planet. Unbox them and the foam begins returning to full shape within minutes — allow up to 24 to 48 hours (a little longer in cold weather) to reach their final firmness.

Common questions
How do I train my dog to use the stairs?
Put them exactly where your dog already tries to jump. Lure them up one step at a time with a treat and praise at the top, then do the same coming down — going down is the part most dogs need help with. Use them every single time they go up or down; consistency matters.
Will they reach my bed?
They stand 19.7″ tall with four deep steps, which suits most standard beds and sofas. Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress — if it is much above roughly 26″, a ramp is the better fit.
Can I wash the cover?
Yes. The cover unzips completely and goes straight in the machine — wash cold, air dry, and it goes back on the foam core.

My Dachshund Matty loves these steps!
“Matty fell in love with these steps the second she got them. I didn’t even need to teach her how to use them. Her stubbornness pays off when it’s to my atdvantage.”
— Jenna S.★★★★★
Took so much time
“I ordered this ramp and got it 7 days after when they specify that it ships the next day.”
— Michael M.Why it matters
One Bad Jump Is All It Takes.
Getting up onto the sofa is effort. Coming back down is impact.
The drop, not the climb
Climbing up takes effort. Coming down is her whole body weight arriving at once, on a spine carried between very short legs.
A dozen times a day
Off the bed at six. Off the sofa when the doorbell goes. Off the armchair because you stood up. Every day, for years.
The part you can change
You don’t get to choose the shape of her back. You do get to put four soft, deep steps exactly where the drop used to be.
She keeps the sofa. She just walks down to leave it.
Sizing
Made for a long body and a low centre of gravity.
27.6″ long × 15.7″ wide × 19.7″ tall — every dimension chosen around short legs and long backs.
27.6″
Long
The steps run out this far from the furniture — a long, gradual climb instead of a short, steep stack.
15.7″
Wide
Room for a long body to climb straight up without twisting at the top.
19.7″
Tall
Meets the top of most sofas, and brings a standard bed within one easy step.
4
Deep steps
Deep enough for all four paws on every tread, going up and coming down.
Where they fit
Measure from the floor to the top of the cushion or mattress. Holds dogs up to 66 lb (30 kg).
Up to 20″
Most sofas and armchairs. The top step meets the cushion, so she walks straight across.
20″ – 26″
Most standard beds. Push them flush against the frame and the top step brings her within one easy, low step of the mattress — no jump, no lifting.
Taller, or the car
The foldable Henley ramp is the tool for that height — it adjusts 16″–22″ and folds flat to tuck beside the bed. See the ramp →

Common questions
Things people ask before they buy.
Will my dog actually use it?
Most dogs take to soft foam steps quickly — small dogs and dachshunds often pick it up in a day or two. Best practice: lure them up with a treat the first few times, and use the steps every time they go up or down (consistency matters).
If your dog won't use them after a fair attempt, that's exactly why we offer a 90-day comfort guarantee. Ship them back, full refund, we pay return shipping.
What size dog is it for?
Built for dachshunds and other long-backed breeds, small dogs, puppies, and senior or recovering dogs. We hear from owners of dachshunds, Frenchies, and corgis protecting against IVDD; senior small dogs with stiff joints; and puppies still growing into their legs. Deep, wide treads (15.7 in. across) give short-legged dogs room to climb with confidence.
At 19.7 in. tall they're sized for couches and standard beds — place them flush against the furniture so the top step meets the edge.
Couch or bed — where do they work?
Both. At 19.7 in. tall the four steps reach most sofas and standard beds. Set them flush against the furniture so the top step is level with the cushion or mattress.
For very tall beds they still give a big head-start even where the top step sits just below the edge. Need to reach a car or SUV instead? Our foldable Henley ramp is the better tool for that height.
Stairs or a ramp — which is right for my dachshund?
It comes down to the height and the room. Choose the stairs for the sofa and a standard bed, for tighter rooms where a full-length ramp has nowhere to live, and for dogs who prefer solid ground under all four paws. They sit against the furniture like a small piece of it, and they cost less.
Choose the ramp for a very tall bed, for the car, or when your vet has her on strict post-op restriction and you want no step impact at all. It adjusts 16″–22″ and folds flat. See the Henley ramp →
Plenty of dachshund households end up with both — steps at the sofa, ramp at the bed or the boot. If you’re weighing up what a disc episode actually costs, our IVDD treatment cost calculator lays out the numbers.
Is it slippery?
No. The cover is non-slip corduroy across every step — tested for senior paw pads (which lose grip with age) and tentative dachshund or cat claws alike. The whole unit sits stable on the floor and won't slide out from under them.
Does it require assembly?
None. The stairs arrive vacuum-packed — unbox them, peel off the wrap, and the high-density foam expands back to full shape (a few minutes to start, up to 24–48 hours to fully firm up, a little longer in cold weather). No tools, no hardware.
How long does shipping take?
Free standard shipping from our warehouses. Typically arrives in 3-7 business days. You'll get tracking when it ships.
What if my dog won't use it?
The 90-day comfort guarantee covers exactly this. Email us within 90 days, we send a prepaid return label and refund your full purchase price when the stairs arrive back. No restocking fee. No questions about why.
Will my cat use it?
Yes. The same non-slip corduroy and gentle, low steps that work for senior dogs work just as well for cats — especially senior cats with arthritis, declawed cats slipping on hard floors, or post-surgery cats with no-jump orders. Most cats trust them within a few days.
Set up & first week
Most dogs trust it within the first week.
Some take 1-3 days. A few take 2-3 weeks. The 90-day guarantee covers all of them.
1
Unbox & let it expand
Lift it out and peel off the wrap — the foam expands back to shape within minutes. Zero assembly. Place it at your couch or bed.
2
Teach the way down
Going up is instinct. Going down is the bit worth teaching — treat her at the bottom every single time for the first week, and walking down becomes her habit too.
3
She uses it on her own
Most dogs are confident inside a week. If yours isn't using them within 90 days, ship them back. Full refund.
How we compare
Quick check against the alternatives.
Most dog steps are either flimsy foam blocks or overpriced designer furniture — and shutting her off the sofa was never really an option. We’re the third way.

A note from the workshop
We built these because of the dachshunds.
Henley & Bone started with a ramp for a 15-year-old golden with stiff hips. Then the letters started arriving, and so many of them were the same letter: a dachshund, a vet appointment, the word IVDD, and an owner who had just been told to stop the jumping — with no idea how you actually do that in a real house, with a real sofa, and a dog who has slept next to you every night of her life.
So we made these for them. Four deep, cushioned steps low enough for the shortest legs, 15.7 inches wide so a long body has room to climb straight, a non-slip corduroy cover for tentative claws, and a firm high-density core that holds its shape instead of folding under her. The same idea as the ramp: take the hard landing out of her day and let her keep her spot beside you.
Here is what I will promise you and what I won’t. I won’t tell you a piece of foam changes what is written in her genes — plenty of shops will, and it isn’t honest. What I will tell you is that jumping down puts a sudden shock through a back that long, that your vet is right to want it stopped, and that these steps are a simple way to stop it without shutting her off the furniture she loves. If they aren’t right for your dog, the 90-day comfort guarantee has you covered — ship them back, full refund, we pay the return shipping. I’d rather lose a sale than sell something the dog doesn’t actually want.
