This dog bed is exactly what I hoped for to honor my butterball polar bear English Labrador Retriever. My pup is just a sweetheart and I have invested in so many beds for him over the years, all of which were short lived for various reasons associated with quality. This bed is far and away provides the best sleep experience he has had over the years. The bumpers around the mattress are comfy pillows. The bedding is firm and the material handles his coat well. I just don’t see ANY hair shedding on the bed at ALL. This is a relief! And the bed FITS him. He is a load at 90 lbs. SO happy the bed works for him so well and looks great in our home.
