I'm a picky shopper, and usually know what I want when I go searching.  I have looked everywhere at dog beds.  I wanted something that would look nice in my house, be comfortable for my sweet dog, and not break the bank.  There are so many dog beds available that are just a flat cushion.  This bed is great, the bolster around all the edges is perfect.  It looks great in my house, it doesn't take up a huge amount of space, and the price was better than most dog beds I have found.  I wasn't sure what size I needed, so for reference, I ordered a large.  It is the perfect size for my 60-70 pound Border Collie/Bernese Mountain Dog.
