I love that its not heavy. You can remove the pad to wipe up and keep clean. Also its not heavy at all. My dog Ruby loves that she has her own coach with all that comfortableness she can really enjoy. And she has a buddy dog that I dog sit sometimes there is room enough for 2 I ordered the large size even doe my Ruby leans more of  medium not so small dog. This was a very good buy. Happy about this product.
