We put this pet bed as the bottom part of our puppy's crate. It's about 2 inches high and provides him the feeling of comfort in there. We even found him sleeping inside when he normally could sleep wherever he wanted in the house...so we knew he liked it! It's washable and the size of it is PERFECT for a medium sized dog crate. We purchased this in the chocolate brown and it's nice and fuzzy. For the price, you're getting a fantastic product. If you're looking for something for a pet that is more sturdy- then this isn't the product for you. This is not like an orthopedic pet bed. This is, in my opinion, a more basic cushion for the pets to lay on.
