Who We Are

The founder of Dog O Pedic , Is Zane Maroun the previous owner of Sleep Active.

Sleep Active was the first company in South Africa to make and sell Memory foam mattress’s and pillows, Made in South Africa. While Zane Maroun was the owner of Sleep Active, he experienced customers are benefiting greatly from memory foam pillows and mattresses. Customers that suffered from arthritis, muscle injury, surgical repairs and even those that were bed ridden and in their Golden Years benefited greatly from memory foam. Memory foam made our customers heal faster whilst comfortable and enjoying a pressure free sleep.

He sold Sleep Active 3 years ago and retired, during his retirement he was thinking of the next product he could invent that could change people’s lives but he was also looking for something he was passionate about. Then one day it hit him straight in the face, his favourite furry friend in the whole world, Scrappy Coco Maroun, his dog a cocker spaniel…. He noticed the horrible, round, cheap and unwashable bed, which he provided his furry friend to sleep on. In that moment Zane Maroun felt ashamed.

He started to do some investigating into the dog bed world and noticed the dog bed trend in Europe and America would mainly use the same memory foam and shape as they would use in the human bedding world. Animal specialists prefer our furry friends to sleep straight out and not curled up, therefore why do we give them cheap round beds which are unhygienic and use cheap B Grade foam?

When our furry friends sleep at least 12 hours a day, which means they sleep 50% of their life. That’s why at Dog O Pedic, we believe they deserve the best! Our furry friends that suffer from hip dysplasia, arthritis, general aches and pains, surgical repairs and the Golden Years will have a better life with a Dog O Pedic underneath them.

They will benefit greatly from memory foam as it is pressure relieving, giving support and keeping their spines aligned. Our memory foam is SABS Approved and not B grade foam. Dog O Pedic makes rectangle mattress’s for our furry friends so they can sleep straight and stretched out.

So a product of Love is born, Zane can now Sleep Peacefully knowing that his furry friend can sleep in ultimate comfort. On his new Dog O Pedic memory foam mattress.

Love Zane Maroun “The Leader of the Pack”
