Better Bedding Structure

Every bag of Bedmax contains a consistent combination of our uniquely larger shavings and medium and small shavings.

This combination of shavings naturally form layers when a new bed is fluffed up, with the larger shavings on top and the small shavings at the bottom. This structure provides a wide range of different benefits for the horse’s health and wellbeing:

  • Drainage & absorbency
  • Ammonia suppression
  • Comfort & support
  • Hoof support
  • Sleep & Recovery
