The pictures posted make it look like the dog bed has more rigid filling/foam in the bolster part.  This is not how it really is.  The dog bed has no shape or form to it.  It's all filled with the same filling that doesn't hold a shape.  I was very much looking to buy a dog bed that was like a mini couch, as my poodle likes to sleep with his head leaning up on something to help combat his acid tummy issues.  This dog bed just all slumps down to the same height, so there is no raised portion.
