Thick, soft and fluffy my dogs took to these beds right away.  Once my dogs had tried out the new dog beds they have yet to go back to use the older ones that we have.  The beds look just like they're pictured.  Some dog beds have an odd smell to them when they are new but not this bed.  These dog beds are quite large and I bought them at a reasonable price.  I would buy them again in a heartbeat!
