I have a 140lb St. Bernard that loves to get on the couch even though she is not allowed to, so I bought this bed hoping it would be a close enough compromise for her to enjoy so that she would stay off the couch. Normally she does not like dog-beds and just tears them apart or doesn't lay on them because they're too small or not cushioned enough, but this one is the perfect size for her and has the right amount of cushioning. The bolstered sides are especially perfect for her to lay her head on and feel like she's still on her favorite couch.
