Find out what makes Bedmax special
Bedmax has become the first equine bedding company to achieve NOPS accreditation, under a new scheme launched by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).
The 2025 Bedmax Equine Health Survey
Response to the survey has been remarkable, with answers from 895 owners responsible for the care of more than 2,600 horses.
The key focus of our survey is to check the extent and nature of health issues, as opposed to injuries, horses are experiencing. We ask how long health problems are keeping horses off work, and whether owners are also experiencing respiratory problems in their stables.
Bedding Made Specially for Horses.
We offer horse owners in the UK a range of high quality, completely natural beddings purpose made at our three dedicated factories to provide a healthy, hygienic bedding for your horses and ponies.
Our equine bedding range now includes our original low dust, large flake pine Bedmax shavings, Littlemax small flake pine shavings, and our new Strawmax straw pellet bedding for horses, and you can find full details on this site about how we make them, why we make and how to get the best out of them.
You can also find details of Stockmax 100% pine shavings for sheep and lambs, poultry and other livestock, the sustainable Hotmax fuel logs we make from the dust we extract from our shavings, and our new Catmax straw pellet cat litter.

Have you tried Hotmax?
Made by Bedmax, Hotmax fuel logs are an ideal fuel for your home in winter and for outdoor use in summer.
These high-density compacted heat logs are made from 100% natural, recycled wood dust. They’re denser, drier and burn cleaner than even the best kiln dried or seasoned hardwood logs.
They’re quick and easy to light and give you high heat fast with very low emissions and minimal ash residue.
