My dog loves this bed!  The material feels like suede and is super soft.  It's also extremely durable as well.  I vacuum hair off the bed regularly and I've machine washed the cover multiple times (the cover zips right off) and it doesn't look worn or old at all.  I ordered the Extra Large for my 50 pound dog and the size is perfect for her.  Overall this is an excellent pet bed that will last a long time.
