Three beds destroyed — that's a Husky doing exactly what Huskies do. Standard pillow beds don't stand a chance against a dog that digs before lying down; the fabric is just too thin. Large breeds need beds built for their weight and their habits, and for a digger, that means the material itself has to be part of the solution. To point you toward the right thing: roughly how much does your Husky weigh, does he dig and then curl up or does he stretch out flat, and are there any joint concerns at this age?
He's about 28kg, he digs like crazy then curls up tight. No joint issues yet, he's only two, but I'd rather not encourage bad habits by putting him on something too flat.

28kg and a compulsive digger who curls — that's a very clear picture. The digging is the main problem to solve here, and it rules out anything with a quilted or stitched top surface, because those seams are exactly where a Husky's claws get purchase. What you need is a bed with a single-piece, ballistic-grade outer and a raised bolster he can curl into. Does he sleep indoors on a hard floor, or is the bed going into a crate or softer surface?
Indoors on a wooden floor in the living room. Not in a crate.

Perfect — that gives you flexibility on thickness, which matters for a 28kg dog on hard flooring. My recommendation is the Gorilla Dog Beds Tough Bed in the Large size. It uses a 1680D ballistic nylon outer — the same grade used in heavy-duty luggage — which is genuinely resistant to claw punctures in a way that polyester pillow beds simply aren't. The base has an anti-slip rubber backing, important on wood floors. The bolster sides are firm enough that he can push his nose into them when he curls, which Huskies love. The foam inside is dense enough to keep a 28kg dog off the floor without compressing flat over time. It's not the cheapest option but it's the only category of bed that consistently survives diggers — owners of Malamutes and Huskies specifically come back to it for that reason. Machine washable cover too, which you'll need.
That sounds promising. Is it actually claw-proof or will a determined Husky still get through it eventually?

Honest answer: no fabric is completely indestructible if a dog is determined enough and you leave them unsupervised for long periods. What ballistic nylon does is resist the instinctive pre-sleep scratching — the circular digging motion — which is what shreds standard beds. It's tough enough that most Huskies lose interest because there's no satisfying give to it. If your dog is actually biting and tearing rather than just scratching, that's a different problem and you'd need to look at chew-deterrent spray alongside the bed. But for a digger who's just doing his pre-sleep ritual, the Gorilla Tough Bed handles it well.
No, he's not a chewer, just the digging. I think that's the one. What size should I get?

For a 28kg Husky who curls, the Large (90cm x 70cm) is the right call. It gives him enough room to do his full digging circle without hanging off the edge, and the bolster height on that size is proportionate to a dog his weight — not so low it disappears under him. Go XL and the bolster gets lost; go Medium and he'll be cramped mid-dig. Large is the one.
