Rounder is a 10 year olf dog that has had joint problems his whole life. This might be the most supportive dog bed he's ever had! Plently of cushion for a dog much larger than him, with plenty of surface area as well. He loves to prop his head up as well, so the surround cushions are also very nice. I have another orthopedic dog bed in another room, and the cushions in this one are way easier to insert and remove. The material is great as well, since he is a very sloppy drinker, and like to "water" his bed after taking a nice long drink. Would definitely buy again!
