Will she use them? “I didn’t even need to teach her how to use them.” Jenna S.
Do they have to be ugly? “All of them are either ugly or not practical, these steps are amazing.” Mary N.
Customers praised these foam stairs as "amazing" for protecting small dogs' backs and joints. They're "sturdy, lightweight, and designed for small dogs," particularly dachshunds. Reviewers loved the non-slip surface and attractive design. Dogs adapted quickly. One customer noted shipping took 7 days despite next-day promise.
These stairs are amazing! My mini doxie loves them and they’re great at protecting his joints and back!
We absolutely love our Doxie Stairs! After my previous dog, Bisket, (who was actually a dachshund) went through two surgeries for IVDD, I’ve become much more conscious about limiting unnecessary jumping with Appa. She’s a ~60 lb Staffy who loves being on our bed, so I wanted something sturdy enough for her while still looking cute in our bedroom. The Doxie Stairs have been perfect! They feel sturdy, look beautiful, and Appa caught on so quickly. I especially love that we can introduce them while she’s young and healthy rather than waiting until she has mobility issues. Such a simple addition to our home that gives me so much peace of mind. 🤍🐾
These stairs are perfect for our home. We have two corgis and taking care of their backs is very important to us. They love to cuddle on the bed and it gives us peace of mind that they can safely get on and off. It’s an added bonus that the stairs are made with high quality material and looks great with our home aesthetic.
I love the pink foam stairs from Henley and Bone! I specifically love the height as they work for both my couch and my bed! I got these stairs for my miniature dachshund so she can roam freely and I don’t have to worry about her injuring herself trying to get up and down higher surfaces! The pink color was just an added bonus to the comfort and safety I feel for my dog!
We absolutely LOVE our Henley Doxie Stairs! 🤎 As a dachshund mom, protecting Piper’s back is so important to me, and these stairs have made it so much easier for her to safely get on and off the couch without jumping.
They’re sturdy, the perfect height, and actually look so cute with our furniture—which is a huge plus! Piper caught on to using them so quickly, and now they’re part of her everyday routine. 🐾
Definitely a must-have for any doxie household. We couldn’t recommend them enough!
Our mini dachshund loves his ramp! Saving his little spine one ramp use at a time.
We got a mini dachshund for our daughter’s 11th b day. So we got this ramp cuz we read all over we need to protect our Matty from IVDD. Matty is absolutely loving these steps.
Decent stairs sturdy enough although I was sceptical it cuts it out for my little Oliver.
High-density foam core feels solid and durable. No wobbling like cheap plastic steps.
The corduroy texture gives fantastic grip going up and down. Excellent craftsmanship.
Perfect height for standard couches and beds. Our corgi uses them continuously throughout the day.
Sturdy enough for our 22lb shih tzu, but lightweight enough to move to the bedroom at night.
The non-slip corduroy cover is amazing. My basset hound's little paws never slip coming down.
Took my small rescue two days to adjust, but now she uses these steps exclusively to get on the couch.
Frankie loves the Doxie stairs and will actually use them! The steps are sturdy and the fabric allows for non-slip traction for Frankie. A game changer!
Worth every dollar to keep our papillon from jumping and hurting his spine.
Got the 4-step version in Black. It sits perfectly flush with our sofa cushion and looks great!
Wide treads mean my long-backed dachshund can place all four paws on each step easily.
Great design for long bodies! My dachshund doesn't hesitate for a second using these stairs.
Our senior dachshund walks down smoothly now instead of launching off the bed. So relieved!
Wide treads mean my long-backed small rescue can place all four paws on each step easily.
My papillon learned how to use them in less than ten minutes with a couple of treats!
The non-slip corduroy cover is amazing. My beagle's little paws never slip coming down.
Worth every dollar to keep our boston terrier from jumping and hurting his spine.
High-density foam core feels solid and durable. No wobbling like cheap plastic steps.
Deep steps allow my havanese to walk down at a natural pace rather than rushing or jumping.
The deep 15.7-inch treads give my corgi so much confidence climbing up to the couch!
Matches our living room furniture nicely in Pink. High-end quality pet steps!
Zero assembly required! Expanded right out of the box within a couple hours.
The wide 15.7'' width gives plenty of room for my tiny chihuahua to climb comfortably.

Cheaper foam steps exist
- 90 days to change your mind, not the 30 you get on Amazon.
- Return shipping is on us: prepaid label, no restocking fee.
- A dog can take a week or two to trust new furniture, sometimes longer. Thirty days barely covers it.
You’re not paying us for better foam. You’re paying for enough time to find out whether she’ll use it.
Product description
Every jump down off the sofa lands on the one part of her you can’t replace. The Henley Doxie Stairs put 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 cushioned foam steps up to the couch, the bed, or her favorite window seat.
One height, built for the furniture most people have
19.7 in. tall. 27.6 in. long × 15.7 in. wide. For furniture around 17 to 21 in., which covers most sofas and standard beds.
Measure from the floor to the top of your cushion or mattress and compare it with that number. Much over 21 in. and she will still have a step to make at the top, and the adjustable ramp is the better tool for that.
Made for the dogs who need it most
- Room for a long body: wide, roomy treads 15.7 in. across on a long, gradual climb, space for short-legged dogs 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, and dense enough to hold its shape under repeated use rather than folding flat the way soft block foam does.
- 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 furniture-friendly tones: Taupe, Navy, Pink and Black, chosen to sit quietly beside your sofa or bed instead of clashing with it.

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?
Measure from the floor to the top of your cushion or mattress, then pick the size closest to that number: the top step stands 19.7″, which suits furniture around 17–21″.
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.
What IVDD treatment actually costs
A single disc episode can run into the thousands once imaging, surgery and aftercare are counted. We built a calculator so you can see the numbers for your own dog before you need them.

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 soft, deep steps exactly where the drop used to be.
She keeps the sofa. She just walks down to leave it.
One height. Built for the furniture most people have.
Four cushioned steps on a high-density foam core, deep treads, non-slip corduroy and a zip-off cover.
4 Steps
19.7″ tall
27.6″ long × 15.7″ wide
Most sofas and standard beds, roughly 17 to 21″ off the floor. Holds dogs up to 66 lb (30 kg).
Which furniture it suits
Measure from the floor to the top of your cushion or mattress and compare it with the 19.7″ top step. That number is the whole decision.
Low sofas and armchairs. Worth knowing: on a cushion this low the top step sits a little above the seat, so she steps down onto it rather than up. Most dogs take that happily, but much under 15″ and the stairs will stand noticeably taller than the furniture.
The size these were built for. Most sofas and standard beds. Pushed flush against the frame, the top step lands within an inch or two of the edge, a short stride rather than a drop.
Being straight about it: the top step is 19.7″, so on a tall bed she would still have a real step left to make. The adjustable Henley ramp reaches 22″ and is the better tool for that. See the ramp →
Stairs are for furniture. For a trunk or a tailgate, the foldable Henley ramp folds flat and travels. See the ramp →

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, and most are confident within a week 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. Wide treads, 15.7–17 in. across, give a long body room to climb straight instead of twisting.
They stand 19.7 in. tall, which suits furniture around 17–21 in. Place them flush against the furniture so the top step sits level with the edge, or an inch or two under it.
Couch or bed, where do they work?
Both. Measure floor to cushion or mattress: the stairs stand 19.7 in. and suit 17–21 in., which covers most sofas and standard beds. Set them flush against the furniture so the top step sits level with the cushion or mattress, or an inch or two under it.
Above 21 in., she will still have a step up at the top. The foldable Henley ramp adjusts to 22 in. and is the better tool for a tall bed, and it is also the one for a car or an SUV.
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 the car, for a dog who would rather walk a slope than take steps, 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 to travel. It adjusts higher than the stairs stand, so for a tall bed the ramp is the one that gets her there. See the Henley ramp →
Plenty of dachshund households end up with both, steps at the sofa, ramp at the car. If you’re weighing 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, chosen 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 within minutes, then reaches full firmness over 24–48 hours (a little longer in cold weather). No tools, no hardware.
How long does shipping take?
Free standard shipping from our warehouses. Orders arrive in 3–5 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.
Most dogs are using them within a week or two.
Some take a day or two. A few take longer. The 90-day comfort guarantee covers all of them.
Unbox & let it expand
Lift it out and peel off the wrap, the foam expands within minutes and reaches full firmness in 24–48 hours. Zero assembly. Place it at your couch or bed.
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.
She uses it on her own
Most dogs are confident within a week or two. If yours isn't using them within 90 days, ship them back. Full refund.
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.

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. Deep, cushioned steps low enough for the shortest legs, at least 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.
