Great bed....it was packed really tight but there were no chemical smells at all. The bolster is made up of shredded foam so it had to be plumped up a lot for it to look perfect. The cover is EXCELLENT! Two separate zippers - one for the main bed and one for the bolster. It would have been nice if the foam bed had been covered....but I put an old double sheet on it to protect it. I will be buying a baby crib mattress cover For it and hopefully it will stay clean. My dog loves it and he is not a Chewer so it’s ok for my needs.
